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

The show's past co-hosts included: [[Adric Verminus]], [[Jakebe]], [[Prismo]], [[Dax (2 Sense)|Dax]] and [[Riku]]. 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.

2 Sense, on November 12th 2006, returned for about 40 shows and then took a hiatus and returned yet again on March 5th 2008

==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, gotten mangled, or sometimes miraculously survived injury in the previous week. It was introduced on the December 31st, 2004 show of 2 Sense.
*World News - Stories from around the world, discussed by 2 and his co-host for the week.
*Spazfox's DVD of the Week - A comedic review written and performed by [[Spazfox]].
*Listener Mail (Dear 2 Letters) - E-mails from listeners on a variety of subjects.

Past segments used on the show but since canceled were:
*Furry News - News about the [[furry fandom]] as well as any extremely funny news articles involving animals. This ended when people realized there wasn't enough news coming 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).
*Weekly Trippy Goo - The weekly trippy goo segment was a 3 minute long segment by Maligno in which he said whatever came to mind, usually an outlandish theoretical dilemma that he would ponder over and eventually develop an even stranger yet oddly logical solution to. It ended when Maligno was committed to a mental hospital. No-one has since heard from him.
* Garr's Word Of The Week - One word of particular interest presented each week by the sultry voice of Garr, in which 2 and his co-host were challenged to use during the rest of the show. This segment was eventually replaced by Garr's Travel Stories.
*Furry Baptisms - A segment where 2 and the co-host baptises a handful of people into new furs and welcoming them into the Furry Fandom. It ended when people were shorting out on requests.

==Co-Hosts/Contributors==
There were many co-hosts of and contributors to 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. His last show was episode 37.
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. A common gag during his stint on the show was for 2 to poke him in order to make him squeal, or some other attempt to make him sad, claiming that it made Aubrin cuter that way.

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 perspective to the show.

Prismo uses a [[koala]] as his avatar.

===Dax===
Dax was a seldom used co-host but one who found co-hosting 2 Sense came very naturally. He co-hosted only 3 shows including the final show of 2 Sense.

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

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

===Adric===
Adric again was a one-off co-host for the show (#39). 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 occasions 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.

Adric is a fellow stand up comedian, who has opened for 2 in the past, is currently putting his comedy on hiatus to practice his writing skills, namely, his first novel.

===[[Spazfox]]===
Spazfox sent in the longest running segment that was not done by 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.

Spazfox is somewhat curious as to why the great Uncle Kage's segment, News From the Future, has not been written about, as it's the one segment on 2 Sense he finds more entertaining than his own.

Spazfox enjoys editing Wiki articles about himself because it "gives him a laugh."

===[[Garr]]===
Garr is a British fur who once sent in an audio letter which happened to make 2 go weak at the knees, after which he immediately demanded that Garr perform a segment on the show. Garr's voice is accepted amongst 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 confirming this). Garr started with the "Word Of The Week" segment but then changed his segment to "Garr's Travels" where he discussed his various strange-yet-true adventures in globetrotting during his many failed attempts to go to [[Anthrocon]].

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 cohosting the radio show [[FBC|VLF]] on the [[FBC]] with fellow British fur [[Sphelx]].

===Maligno===
Maligno is a 15 year old who sent in the Weekly Trippy Goo segment. He was committed to a mental hospital by his parents and contact 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). However, no one is quite sure exactly how he comes up with his segments, as Malingno was described on the show as a fairly intelligent and stable fur who did not do drugs (the most obvious speculation given by the 2 Sense crew and listeners upon listening to his first segment).

Maligno reappeared briefly on February 4, 2005, suggesting that he has been released.

Maligno is the ''second'' youngest person to ever appear in a segment on 2 Sense.

===Jessie T. Wolf===
[[Jessie T. Wolf]] is a fur artist from [[Wikipedia:Toronto Canada|Toronto Canada]], who appeared on two of the shows as a guest and did a commissioned 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.

===2's mother===
2's mother appeared a few times on ''2 Sense'', as a guest. Members in the chat frequently referred to her affectionately as "1", or the Mommy Griffin.

2 claims he is unable to swear whenever his mother is present, under the threat of getting slapped. This has been proven in Episode #132 in which 2 interviewed 1 the Mommy Gryphon and dug himself a hole so deep even apologizing couldn't get him out of it.

===Gary Walker===
Gary Walker is the host of the segment "Over the pond" on 2 Sense. In this segment he reports the British news in a very comical way.
Gary Walker is fourteen, which makes him the youngest person ever involved with 2 Sense.
Gary Walker lives in the North-East of England, but during his segment adopts a strong, stereotypical South London accent (most UK residents would disagree with this and say it sounds northern to us).
He also is an avid [[comic book]] fan and collects Avengers comics. His favourite band is the [[Wikipedia:Queens Of the Stone Age|Queens Of the Stone Age]].

==Rant Radio==

2 Sense was rebroadcast on Rant Radio for approximately the last 40 episodes. It became one of the most popular shows on Rant Radio becoming so popular that the show required its own separate IRC room as the number of listeners tuning in solely for 2 Sense outstripped that of any show previously played on Rant Radio. This actually caused bandwidth issues during the first few shows when unprecedented numbers of listeners flocked to Rant Radio during the first few live episodes.

==2 Sense 2.0 (The Resurrection)==

[[2 Sense 2.0]] started on November 12th, 2006. This new show features [[Nik Vulper]] as the new co-host, as well as familiar characters. [[Spazfox]] and [[Garr]] make their return, as well as the esteemed [[Uncle Kage]]. [[Spazfox]] does the DVD of the Week segment like he did in the last season. Garr has stopped his travel tales and is now the 2 Sense International Correspondent. Uncle Kage does the "News from the Future," a parody segment in which fictional news is reported from roughly 50 years in the future. Some of the other new segments in the show include Furry Baptisms (also known as "Faptisms" for the way they are done), and Furry Birthdays. Both of these segments are heavily influenced by the [[Furry Army of Doom]] (FAOD) forums. Another aspect about this new show is the [[2 Sense Research Team]]. This team consists of 10 members of the FAOD: Tyrel_Roo, Sergent Sai, Cassandra Rising, TakaiX, Don Helder Camara, [[Zyph]], Ion Seal, Ark, [[Sidepocket]], and Armonkyi.

Introduced in 2007 were segment hosts Sadesuke the Wanderer, Gary Walker, Edsel, and Dari the Emobird. Sadesuke presented a libertarian view on current events, Gary Walker reported on local news from his home in England, Edsel dispensed horoscopes, and Dari read and answered letters about what it was like to be truly emo. Recent computer trouble and school work, however, has kept them from the microphone.

The current season of [[2 Sense 2.0]] has the booming voice of God as the segment introducer, replacing the fast-talking unnamed voice of the past that many fans complained sounded too much like Foamy the Squirrel. Another edition to the show is The Wheel of Hate, a giant Wheel of Fortune like device that picks a random group of people for 2 and his co-host to hate for that entire episode. The wheel was installed after a friend of 2's mentioned how hard it was sometimes to listen to the show because they would harp on one group for weeks on end. The Wheel of Hate is an attempt to balance out the hate, as both 2 and his co-hosts have admitted to hating everyone. In recent episodes, the Furry Baptisms and Birthdays have been set aside for a new segment called "Furry Fifteen Minutes", during which time 2 will phone up another Furry and talk with them for a bit.

===2 Sense 2.2===

After a rather long absence in which 2 was hard at work moving his studio across the country, it appears he's decided to reboot 2 Sense as the shiny and new [[2 Sense 2.2]]. A start date has been released in a Ustream video posted on May 17, 2010. The first episode will be performed on June 4th or 5th, depending on the listeners' votes on whether 2 Sense 2.2 should be released on Fridays or Saturdays. Additionally, [[Ranting Gryphon Studios]] is now full audio-video as opposed to the old full audio, so 2 Sense will most likely be video in the new season.

===Current Running Gags/References===

*'''Schleigelhoffen'''
**Started in the first incarnation of the show, this was the word 2 would use to replace names of people, cities, and organizations he was having a hard time pronouncing. The word comes from one of the first episodes, from an article about a man with a Germanic last name neither 2 or the co-host could believe actually existed. The word quickly became a favorite on the show.
*'''Gears'''
**A reference to a news article released early 2007 from Africa about a female condom that had small hooks inside it. It was meant to stop men from raping so many women, because the hooks would latch on the mans member and cause a lot of pain (The hooks were so powerful it could only be removed by a skilled doctor). The gears was a derived concept of this, meaning fast spinning gears (and even teeth) in a womans vagina, that would maul a penis.
*'''The Rants'''
**At times, 2 will drop in a line from one of his many rants, often prompting a "Huh?" response from his co-host. 2 has mentioned several times in past episodes that while his friends know of the rants they do not listen to them.
*'''Dragon's Milk'''
**A local Michigan beverage that is a favorite of Nik.
*'''Dragon Meat Sausage'''
**Originating from a news report of a Welsh company (named "Dragon") being sued for false advertising - as they sold "Dragon Meat Sausages." When said on the show it is usually said by both 2 and the co-host in a slow and patronizing voice.
*'''OW'''
**A friend of 2 and Jibba once said the word "OW" in such a gay manner, that it left them laughing for days. It returned on the show, being occasionaly said. 2 described OW as "having a stick shoved so far up your ass, that you gag."
*'''Bees'''
**Originally started after reading an article about a truck containing beehives that tipped over during travel. The hives broke open and a wall of bees surrounded the road, causing mayhem. 2 and his cohost (Aubrin?) both yelled "BEEEEEES!!!" after reading the article, and the furs on the chat channel quickly took this idea over. Everytime 2 would read a story that referenced bees, the chatbox would erupt in people screaming BEES!.
