We Have a New Hero: Public TV, Part II
Just when you thought humanity was going down the drain, John Kilduff comes along to rekindle our hopes. Watching him teach us how to blend food to survive while walking on a treadmill and taking 3 AM phone calls from a bunch of stoned up dopes trying to swear on the air shows how much [...]
Student Special: Freshmen Have Their Moments
Most of the time we bitch about how the frosh come in with their completely misaligned goals, their endless moaning, their out of whack priorities (you know, kind of like how we were when we first started at Cal). But there are always exceptions, those pupils out there who have found their place, discovered [...]

Well, you’d better beware my friends. For Carl Monday will not stand for [...]
Round 1 of Finals is Over; Let Max Weinberg Play You A Tune
We send you into the quiet Saturday night after your first bout of Finals-mania with a Conan O’Brien interview from CalTV.

We bet you drank plenty of coffee and always asked annoying questions in [...]
Is That Why Leo Had to Die?
We figured we’d send you into your Saturday night with a revelation so freaky, so bizarre that it’ll leave you shaking in your pants. So leave it to Maddox to reveal a century old conspiracy that you, your grandparents, your pets didn’t have a damned clue existed:
Sometimes the facts are so obvious that they [...]
Afterwards, the French Called Out Everyone For Drug Testing
San Francisco might be the laughingstock of most of the nation, but do you think you could make rad turns in your tricycle in Oklahoma City? We think not.
