Community Shower

We’re finally back, after a month full of scheduling difficulties and other mishaps. Nath discloses that he’s returned to the world of regular employment, which may not bode well for the release schedule. Drew tells us about his upcoming big move. We discuss what it’s like to be The Night People, overmedicating children, comics that exemplify why they’re called the “funny pages,” “necks” according...

We’re back to talk about robes and other podcast-appropriate clothing, the latest interview with Dianne Feinstein, mashups, how to get good service on food delivery apps, street jokes, and an explainer of one of the funniest tweets of all time. Original airdate: May 19, 2023

We are back with a certified banger! We cover a whole lot of rap and rappers in our intro, then move on to some of the luminaries of conservative thought, like Steven Crowder and Rod Dreher. We discuss some of the stranger aspects of our upbringings, look at comedy through the lens of cultural landmarks like Ted Lasso, Patton Oswalt, Pauly Shore, and Carlos Mencia, and cover presidential assassina...

So this episode, we tried to record a couple of weeks ago but I had to leave early before we finished, so we only got half an episode or so in the can. Unfortunately, we couldn't meet up to finish the episode until recently. So you kind of have two separate episodes grafted together here, but it's practically episode-and-a-half sized, so it's worth the wait. Some of our topics include dudes and th...

We're back to talk about problems with our physical health, bad body armor, bad recipe hacks, political campaigns throughout American history, and more, I'm sure. Original airdate March 29, 2023

This episode, some of our topics include the various types of theft, the George Lucas Extended Cinematic Universe and how it all ties together, Modesto vs. Stockton, which town might be the Modesto of Houston, the best Cajun and seafood restaurants, the worst ideas for food the Midwest has to offer, our favorite tiki bars and other kinds of cocktail bars, and what Nath's cooking for dinner. It is...

This week, we discuss the titular movie, the LAPD Rampart scandal, the early days of disco, numerous unsavory practices of British institutions, and more. Original airdate March 3, 2023

After a week off due to scheduling issues (vacation, illness, mania), we’re back and cover a lot of topics. Join us as we take a look back at the early 2000s, when lad mags, brozines, and manevision ruled the Earth. We also revisit the era through one of Pitchfork’s most memorable album reviews. We take a look at the great thumbnails of the western world (image, not primate), explore why “To Catch...

This week’s episode features discussions on the shelf life of cum, the connection between Steven Seagal and Modern Warfare, what Family Guy gets right about marriage, pervert Dans, Attorney Fren, Racist Scatman John, Racist Everybody Loves Raymond, racist gamers, and more. Not actually much about Kumail Nanjiani in this episode, which could also function as an anti-vaping PSA. Original airdate Feb...

This week we continue our transition into a music podcast with a much funnier look at various artists and songs, mostly real ones, although we did imagine a world of little people country music cover bands. We also discuss Nath’s skill issues at poker, the comedy of Aziz Ansari and 30 Rock, the origins of asbestos, Shingy, arena rock, and have several extended discussions on the human anatomy. Plu...

We had a big topic we wanted to discuss this week, but we ended up spending most of the episode ranking the Beatles’ #1 singles. So we’ll get to that topic next episode. We do talk about a few other things, but I don’t remember which ones we talked about on episode vs. after the episode. Body hair comes up, if that’s your thing. Hopefully you’ll at least be happy we’re releasing on a regular sched...

We are back at last! It turns out our long hiatus was at least partially for legitimate reasons. But a little time off has left us fresher than ever. Nath and Drew are here to recap the last couple of months and cover topics as wide-ranging as 90s Miami booty bass, Drew’s new haircut, Nelly’s inspirations for songs, the #1 hood bunny, Pan-Africanism, job interviews, Shaun King’s latest venture, an...

We are finally back and one away from a hundred! This long-overdue episode took even longer to edit together, because I tried recording my part on my new laptop and I had brutal problems with my audio clipping. You’ll hear what I mean. Just appreciate the effort it took to put this episode together and make it listenable, and hopefully I’ve learned a valuable lesson about not trying to record quic...

Welcome to another rare on-time episode. It’s our last one before Nath starts his new job, which (probably) means an even more intermittent recording schedule. In the meantime, enjoy some more of our song parodies, stuff Drew found on the internet, good and bad drugs, and counting fat stacks. Justin even contributes to this episode, by which I mean we read jokes he sent us over the past couple of...

We’re finally back after eventful times both for us and the world. Lots of recent notable deaths, from Queen Elizabeth to Jean-Luc Godard to Ken Starr to Mikhail Gorbachev. And, sadly, one of Houston comedy’s own, Scotty Peterson, gone far too soon. We were going to use some of this episode as a tribute to him, but that quickly derailed into a bit about ranking Houston comics by how much the commu...

We’re back at last! Nath and Drew cover a lot here: Ivana Trump, Buc-ee’s, the show Party Down, bakeries and who they hire and archaic medical terms, what one of our friends might look like if he had colon cancer, a fascinating story of an open micer’s filmed set, and more. Just check it out: We’re glad to be back and we hope you're glad we're back too. Original airdate August 29, 2022

Nath and Drew overcome various obstacles to bring you yet another fun episode! Among our topics: The films of Darren Aronofsky, the antics of Nancy Pelosi, the recent rash of “Italian mafioso actor” deaths, the Absolute Poker POTRIPPER scandal, Drew’s problems with chairs, and the best combination of pills to recover from dental work. Nath managed to get through the episode despite having a root c...

We recorded this one while the World Series of Poker was going; Nath decided watching that was too important to pass up, if you were wondering why he interrupts, no-sells, or otherwise acts distracted during so many good bits this episode. But at least you can enjoy the sporadic commentary on the action. There’s actual comedy too, with talk about Jerry Lee Lewis, the Uvalde police department, some...

Topics covered this episode: The New York Mets and John Rocker, Richard Nixon and movies about him, America's fabulous queen generals, hot sandwiches and Subway, poker, and more. Justin shows up to make an appearance, and we get a little window into the Shower Boys' personal lives and drink recipes. Original airdate July 15, 2022

We never let being tired and having no ideas stop us from recording. We talk about an older age of the internet and its viral videos; favorite TV comedy from the 1990s, today; some comedy we’re writing; comedy films of the 21st century; stories from driver’s ed; other podcasts; and more, including our usual puns and songs. Also, further making fun of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And you might even g...

We’re back! Nath and Drew cover a whole lot this episode. Sean Paul, Sean John, Paul John, Paul Wall, John Wall: This episode has it all! (in the title.) Other topics include Top Gun; answering reader email; taking on those clowns in Congress, dogs in Washington, and garbage on Wall Street; and taking on the conspiracies of Big Wet. Also, further making fun of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And you mi...

Why did we call it that? Because this episode features a lot of music riffs as well as an extended intellectual discussion on the topic, “What is ‘indoors’?” Plus, Nath went to a wedding while he was out of town, and if you know whose it was and who they are, you know there’s going to be some great stories from that! We decided to save them until late in the episode to make sure you listen to the...

We return to the work of Chuck Berry this episode, as well as the work of Austin Powers, because we are committed to nothing if not timely, relevant, modern comedy. In that vein, we also bring you an extended visit to Orson Welles’ commercial work. Also this episode: why we have trouble sleeping, Drew’s poor food safety practices, how much fucking we’re doing, general trash talking about Politics...

Is an imagined mashup of The Smiths and The Fall too obscure for an episode title? As if we would let that stop us. Nath and Drew are with you this week, offering among other things more characters with middle initials-- Johnny B. Goode, Morris E. Smith, Susan B. Anthony, Women B. Shopping-- thoughts on TV characters ranging from Titannica to Coach McGuirk, our non-opinions on Johnny Depp and Ambe...

Nath here with a rare first-person post. I've been unable to track the guys down for the last couple of weeks, and we haven't put out an episode in almost three weeks. On top of that, I'm going on vacation soon. We were running the risk of six full weeks with no Community Shower. I couldn't let that happen, so I decided, sometimes if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. It's...
