Episodes

Episode 148: Doomers! 31.05.2024

I think I’m on Instagram to much. Honestly when I reference things it’s always videos or memes from insta. Do I have a problem?! Na, it’s cool. I’m sure it will be fine. Anyways, I’m back not giving descriptions. Find out what’s inside won’t you? Enough non description get to the eppy!

Episode 147: Last Thursdayism 24.05.2024

From here on I won’t just give you the business! I’ve decided this! You don’t read these so no need going into depth. Well at least I don’t think you do. Do you? Anyways, this is a great ep you will enjoy. Wait, will you? I don’t know. Anyways it got deep! I think. Shit. I’m doing way too much in this now. Have you read this far in and thought you’ve possibly wasted your time? Ok, ok, just listen...

Episode 146: Bryan Crunkston! 17.05.2024

Dude I feel like no matter how many times I write these descriptions you might not look at them so from now on I’m just gonna write whatever I feel like in here and it might pertain to the episode or it might not. Idk it’s however I feel that day. Anyways, enjoy the ep!

Episode 145: Simp Lords! 03.05.2024

I can now run a marathon thanks to Keanu Reeves. Watching people slip into influencer roles and only fans roles is wild. People on Instagram apparently have a greater education than me. And I introduce “huh” for the guy version of the “ick”

Episode 144: Klaus Flouride! 26.04.2024

On this eppy I have a hot take that all rap beefs are promotional stunts because obviously. I lose track and for the first time without remembering I have to run it back. Do you see your neighbors putting in groceries? Finally this is the underdog podcast where losers are welcomed!

Episode 143: The Recovery Ep! 19.04.2024

Dude I don’t know what this episode is but we still put it out! Cause this will not stop! I think if I can remember is very music heavy but at the same time I don’t know! But thank you always tuning in on the podcast that was voted 100,000 decent podcast in all of the southern part of the United States! Enjoy!

Episode 142: The Quirk Queen! 12.04.2024

New week, same pod you love! I had no idea ice cube was the brains of the operation. He won all of our hearts over with no Vaseline. We will know for sure if diddy is in trouble once Da Band speaks out. You live in the past, present or future? My baby lost her first tooth! She could care less about the money and more on the ancient entity that is the tooth fairy!

Episode 141: Fish are Fools! 05.04.2024

Does it feel like we are getting more into normal? It does to me and I’m stoked for it! Your boy off the addy and on to the next. They say death comes in 3s and unfortunately it’s true. The I ain’t fresh guy gets the redemption we all hoped for. And finally go to not cling to the past the expert level!

Episode 140: Dummy Numbers! 29.03.2024

How fast would you confess if chic-fil-a was on the table? The ascent back into video games has the dopamine kicking back on! The books they made us read in high school were outta pocket but there was a couple good ones.

Episode 139: Skatepark For The Meatheads! 22.03.2024

Was my middle school a prison? I learned what a snitch was so early on. It’s been real quiet lately in the world but what’s a really going on? And finally I do right by talking 1/8 of blink-182 on this podcast finally

Episode 138: Batting A Thow Wow! 15.03.2024

Today our people mourn. We lost one of the good one. Akira Tomiyama passes away and I give what I think is probably the worst send off or eulogy. It still doesn’t affect the impact he had on us growing up and watching his show! If TikTok gets banned will we be ok? Short answer, absolutely! But the influencers might not. I was in Instagram jail for a while but I ain’t afraid to go back!

Episode 137: 90s Reference! 08.03.2024

A smaller dive into how my brain works. A top 10 list of 90s first crushes, but I give you my version of that same list. The decline of Western civilization, punk chapter and finally we are grassroots but I want this podcast to be better for you, the listener.

Episode 136: Rich White Guy Laugh! 01.03.2024

My cell service went down but it’s ok cause AT&T gave me a 5 spot. The movie based on the popular phone blackberry was fucking great guy! Ironically all watched on its biggest competitor the iPhone. Where did temu get all its money from? You can buy so much for so little money it’s like Taco Bell in the 90s!

Episode 135: Destroying My Shorts! 23.02.2024

I still have some more questions about the 1999 hit song back that azz up. Movie review heavy pod today cause that is just what happens sometimes. I discover my own insecurities on the podcast! But that’s good cause this pod is sometimes about growth and change for the better and all that good stuff people post as a story for inspiration that we swipe over! Finally, cancel culture over?! Let’s see...

Episode 134: Shredded Human Cheese! 16.02.2024

Do you ever look around and think “I’m done here” well if you haven’t you might eventually. A marvels review that I go easy on just in case Brie Larson listens. Moneyball movie review which is too 5 for me in case Brad Pitt listens. I finally found the letter we have been waiting for!! And also the song back that ass up is a mating call for us!

Episode 133: Relations With Fruit! 09.02.2024

In the Apple Vision Pro max DVDA worth the money? There’s a line we don’t cross and you know it when you hear it. Jay Z seems himself worthy of judging all music. Boygenius live up to their names. People think Texas will be a warzone. But we already used all our vacation days at work so….

Episode 132: No Fear! 02.02.2024

My most awaited movie review on the little giants! Elmo was always a good friend. YouTube thinks I needed metal help when all I wanted was a Pepsi. Nepotism isn’t bad but you need an asterisk by your name.

Episode 131: Still Drippin! 26.01.2024

Welcome back to the worlds number 1 under produced podcast! Follow your dreams and I’ll support them! I’m winning in the battle against mucus. Finally, imagine cashing a check for showing up to school!

Episode 130: God Is Pro J-Walking! 20.01.2024

Is the world crumbling around us? Maybe but let me give it to ya the way I see it! You can now watch people die on insta but also there are good things to see. The algorithm is making us all the same!

Episode 129: It’s A Cup! 12.01.2024

We get into the best thing to kick off the year the man himself Katt Williams. Are bars just adult house parties? As a nation are we failing because if cups?!

Episode 128: Bang With The Emos! 05.01.2024

New year! And we are getting over it and through it my guy! Last ep I was cynical and jaded but now I’m cynical and back to optimistic! I review movies I know you’ve seen like maybe 2 of. YouTube camping videos and developing photos from almost 20 years ago!

Episode 127: A Year Wrapped! 29.12.2023

Excuse my jadedness as I go over all the events that took place this year!

Episode 126: Lars Has A Nut! 22.12.2023

Do you remember your best Christmas gifts? Do they actually sell camping gear in Europe? Why are we posting to much about our personal business just so we can roasted in the comments. How real was Santa to you growing up?

Episode 125: Spiritual Release! 15.12.2023

A little lottery talk cause I don’t know how to start podcasts most of the time. How would you go out if it was your last day? Let’s stop being chicken little and be more chicken actual when it comes to possible disasters. I feel like your Spotify wrapped or Apple replay should be a form of identification.

Episode 124: Reserved Tears! 08.12.2023

Puff Daddy is a modern day Jekyll and Me. Hyde. All I ever want to do with the rest of my life is bits. And I have the perfect movie that explains that. Not a scammer I just crush a lot. The studio green lit another mouse movie. And finally I will donate as long as I don’t have to look at anybody in the eyes!
