Episode 13: STOP THE PRESSES! This week, we are exposing the "Masculine Masquerade."

Beardos, you may have been hearing a buzz on the "lamestream" media about the alleged Jon Reilly "Christmas Album", but we are here to tell you that it's all fake. It's just the liberal media trying yet again to make baseless and foundless accusations about the Beards & Sundries Market (the greatest market, some say) to gain clout.

In the second half, we take a nostalgic turn and revisit some of our old commercials (growth is optional), th...

This week on Beards & Sundries , we’re taking a joyride straight back to the 2000s — a simpler, weirder time when Jeff Dunham , the Blue Collar Comedy Tour , and dial-up internet had us all in a chokehold.

This week on Beards & Sundries , we’re going full investigative journalist — minus the credibility — as we talk true crime and the strange obsession the world (and us) has with it. From wild theories to real-life mysteries, nothing is off-limits… except maybe our search history after this episode. In the second half, we dive deep into the JonBenét Ramsey case , which means chaos, speculation,...

This week on Beards & Sundries , we get real — like, actually real — as we dive into constructive criticism, self-awareness, and learning how to handle ourselves (and each other) a little better.

This week on Beards & Sundries, we’re celebrating the ultimate holiday — Thanksgiving — the one time of year it’s socially acceptable to eat an entire pie and call it gratitude. Our sponsor this week? The Pronunciate Dictionary™ — finally, a book to help Jay say literally anything correctly. (Available wherever words are butchered.) After the break, things get surprisingly heartfelt as we dive...

This week on Beards & Sundries, the stars finally aligned — because Amazon didn’t crash our studio for once!
