Travis & Tom both watch new TV shows on streaming that start with the letter "P" and talk about how both of these shows symbolize two different directions that American TV dramas could go from here. Be warned of tons of nostalgia for mid-2000s TV and particularly shows that tried to rip off Lost. Other Shows Discussed 24 (2001-14) The Bear “Fishes” (Hulu, 2023) ER (1994-2009) Fallout (Amazon P...

You ever watched that movie or TV show that you really didn't like but you can't stop watching? Do you perhaps watch right-wing racist YouTubers that do all that all the time for clicks and money? Travis and Tom break down all of this down as they talk about what a true hate-watch experience is and why the ones that seem to do it online all the time are frauds. Clips Cited ⁃ The Room , directed/pe...

Tom & Travis react to perhaps the funniest blunder in US Presidential history - a bunch of dummies in the cabinet discussing a classified military operation in a vulnerable commercial group chat app and accidentally inviting a prominent journalist to eavesdrop on their plans and later write up an exposé on the matter the following week. Listen as Travis & Tom's egos get stroked so hard int...

No one is safe from scams, not even you. Travis and Tom talk about all the times people have tried to scam them and their families - from fake calls from the government to emails about fake online security bills to creepy phone calls to grandparents pretending to be their grandkids. A fruitful discussion in what is our shortest episode yet! NOTE: None of us here at GUTLC Productions are experts on...

Six episodes in and we are already running out of things to talk about. Lord help us all! Sticking with the theme of television, Travis & Tom have a new sub-series called, "F*** It!" where they each discuss a movie or TV show that the other hasn't seen. Travis tries his darn-dest to enthuse upon the surrealist magic of ' Twin Peaks ' without spoiling anything. Later as Tom revels in the violen...

Travis & Tom react a chaotic week filled with shouting matches, costly tariffs, and wacky speeches all happening in the District of Columbia. They contemplate witnessing the fall of their own nation as well as what is the proper decorum when shopping for groceries. By the way, don't blame us if the stuff we talk about becomes outdated by the time we put this out. We're still working out our sc...

Change of pace from the droning wasteland that is current events, Tom and Travis take a break to talk about their favorite TV dads - some good, some bad, and some just plain wacky. Amazingly this is our longest episode [yet] - which is why there are no audio clips from any of these shows because that would just be a pain in our editor's butt! And if any of y'all are complaining that we didn't talk...

As the Trump/Musk administration and specifically the new goon squad known comically as "DOGE" continue to fire people left and right without thinking things through, Tom & Travis let out their stream of consciousnesses into an unfiltered and unstructured mess of grievances, armchair philosophies, wishful thinking, and movie quotes. Will this be an enjoyable experience? YOU DECIDE! Audio Clips...

Travis & Tom talk about how the blatant corruption and incompetence currently seen in the new Trump/Musk administration make them nostalgic for when conspiracy theories assumed the government was actually run by evil geniuses. They talk about TV shows and movies that do conspiracy theories - particularly 'The X-Files' and 'Stargate', why people believe in conspiracy theories, and whether or no...

Longtime friends Travis and Tom try this podcasting thing out for the first time. Recorded from Travis's dump apartment in otherwise-beautiful Long Beach, CA, these two random dudes talk about some of the news of the world circa the week before Super Bowl LIX. Then Travis goes into an armchair philosophical rant about the nature of borders, nations, and citizenship. If you hear any weird noises in...
