'''2 Sense''' was an internet radio show hosted by [[2|2 the Ranting Gryphon]], which was broadcast on the [[Rant Radio]] web station. Running for two years, the show revolved around the week's news, 2's politics, and the furry fandom.

The show had a different co-host each week. The cast included [[Adric]], [[Jakebe]], [[Prismo]], [[Dex]] and [[Rikku]]. The last co-host was primarily [[Aubrin]]; however, past co-hosts and guests did take the role from time to time. Jakebe was in fact the longest running co-host and the only co-host during the first 35 episodes of the show.

''2 Sense'' broadcasts were originally an hour in length, but increased to an hour and 50 minutes and streamed live at around 1am Saturday mornings;they were rebroadcast later in the week (and available for download on 2's website).

Despite the success of the show, in 2005, 2 announced that, due to its taking away from his personal time and the fact that the formula had become somewhat predictable, he would end the series. 2 planned to return to his recorded rants as well as larger projects. The show now can be heard on [[FBC]] under the name '''2 Sense Replay'''

===Segments===
The show contained a number of segments which changed over time. The ones contained in the penultimate show, #86, were as follows:
*Feedback - Comments on the previous show and its contents by listeners.
*Gore news - A collection of headlines and articles featuring odd, unusual or generally ignorant ways people have died in the previous week.
*This Week In History - Detailing [[anniversaries of events]] having taken place the week before.
*News From The Future - A [[Wikipedia:parody|parody]] of a US national news program several years in the future, usually with a strong political bent, written and presented by [[Dr. Samuel Conway]], chairman of [[Anthrocon]].
*World News - Stories from around the world, discussed by 2 and his co-host for the week.
*DVD reviews - A comedic review written and performed by [[Spazfox]].
*Garr's Travel Stories - A collection of interesting tales of travel and adventure as told by Garr.
*Listener Mail - E-mails and audio-mails from listeners on a varity of subjects.
*5 Things Specialist Swartz Isn't Allowed To Do In The Military - 5 things from a list of 213 strange things that you are not allowed to do in the military, as compiled by Specialist Swartz while serving.
*Pengie Penny - A short segment usually devoted to video game music in which the current cohost, Aubrin the Penguin, would say whatever he felt like. This gradually evolved from 3 minute rants to short little sentence-length nuggets of wisdom.
*Weekly Assignment - A short segment in which 2 would ask a question for readers to answer... ranging from "What illegal thing do you want for Christmas?" to "How has this show affected your life?" and then read off the best answers on the air.
*Chat game - A short game just for the people listening live. Two would read a sentence with a blank in it, such as "To make my horse go, all I have to do is BLANK him." and then read off the best answers emailed in during the show.

Past segments used on the show but cancelled were:
*Furry News - News about the [[furry fandom]] as well as any extremely funny news articles involving animals. This ended when people realised there wasn't enough news comming out of the fandom for it to require a weekly segment.
*Dumb Laws - 2 read out all of the Dumb Laws from each state in USA. (it only ended because they ran out of states).
*Wierd Trippy Goo - The weird trippy goo segment was a 3 minute long segment by Maligno in which he said whatever came to mind. It ended when Maligno was commited to a mental hospital. No-one has since heard from him.

===Co-Hosts/Contributors===
There were many co-hosts/contributors used on 2 Sense.

====Jakebe (David)====
'''Jakebe Sunraven''', often jokingly referred to as '''J-bird''', is an artist and comedian in the [[furry fandom]] from [[Wikipedia:Baltimore|Baltimore]], USA. Being a submissive, macrophillic, black, gay fur he brought some of the most original points of view imaginable to 2 Sense.
He was the first, and longest running, co-host, and the only one up until episode 34 of 2 Sense.
Jakebe (real name Dave/David) is an active member of the [[furry fandom]] and frequents several furry conventions. His [[avatar (virtual reality)|avatar]] was previously a raven, however, later it was changed to a bunny in spite of 2's relentless mockery.

Jakebe is now working on artwork related to the [[furry fandom]] and has been largely involved with the furry [[comic]] ''[[Boomer Express]]''.

====Aubrin (The Pengi)====
Aubrin was the co-host who became the standard co-host after Jakebe left. He co-hosted about 30 shows in total, just short of the amount Jakebe co-hosted. However, he co-hosted more of the two hour live shows whereas Jakebe co-hosted more of the original one hour shows.

Aubrin uses a penguin as his avatar in the fandom and thus gained the nickname 'The Pengi' during his time on the show.

Aubrin is a well respected and well known artist in the [[furry fandom]]. A good deal of his art can be found at his personal website along with his live journal.

====Prismo====
Prismo was a guest co-host who appeared on about 5-7 shows. He was the only co-host used on 2 Sense who was heterosexual, thus bringing a very different perspecive to the show.

Prismo uses a koala as his avatar

====Rikku====
Rikku co-hosted only once for show 34 when Jakebe was unavaliable; however, he became well liked by the listeners. Rikku uses a bunny as his avatar and was teased on the show for it, possibly strengthening the running "Bunny" joke on the show.

At 19 years old, Rikku was the youngest person ever to co-host on 2 Sense.

====Adric====
Adric again was a one-off co-host for the show. He was a little too quiet during the show he co-hosted and a little hesitant to give his opinion.

Adric has been mentioned on many occations on 2 Sense for being able to turn gay men straight by sucking all the gayness from the surrounding area by playing [[Dance Dance Revolution]] (DDR) to the song "[[It's Raining Men]]"

Adric uses the avatar of a rat in the [[furry fandom]].

====Spazfox====
Spazfox sent in the longest running segment that were not done buy either 2 or a co-host during the run of '' 2 Sense''. Spazfox was the creator of the 'Spazfox's DVD of the Week' segment, in which he reviewed DVDs in a very unique manner.

====Garr====
Garr is a British fur who once sent in an audio letter which happened to make 2 go weak at the knees. Garr's voice is accepted amungst the 2 Sense listeners as being so sexy it will even turn a straight man on (and many have sent in letters to the show confiming this). Garr started with the "Word Of The Week" segment but then changed his segment to "Garr's Travels" where he discussed places he had visited during the last week.

Garr also read the popular poem ''[[The Raven]]'' as a segment, but at over 10 minutes, it was too long to include on the show.

Now that "2 Sense" has ended, Garr is planning his own show along with Spazfox

====Malingno====
Maligno is a 15 year old who sent in the Wierd Trippy Goo segment. He was commited to a mental hospital by his parents and contact since has not been possible. His segment however was a unique outlook on the world and many viewed it as quite strange (but in a good way).

Maligno was in fact the youngest person ever to be involved in 2 Sense.

====Jessi T Wolf====
[[Jessi T Wolf]] is a fur artist from Toronto Canada, who appeared on two of the shows as a guest and did a commisioned picture for 2 Gryphon as well as giving one away as a prize on one of the shows.

She is very tiny and cute according to 2 Gryphon and was extremely shy when on the show.
