Road Eats (with Troy Walker) 10.08.2021

Eating healthy is hard. Eating healthy on a road trip—or as a traveling comedian—is damn near impossible. The boys discuss their dietary strategies while touring and their top breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices for the approval/judgement of famed fast-food lobbyist Troy Walker (Denver native and writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live!).  Also featuring standup comedy clips from Troy! Huzzah! LINKS: Listen...

Boi Crazy: Breakfast Cereal Mascots 03.08.2021

That's right! It's another episode of our pod within the pod, Boi Crazy! They say sex sells, and we can't think of any group of salesmen sexier than those colorful hunks on fronts of cereal boxes. In this episode, we give rapid-fire appraisals for EIGHTEEN different cereal mascots—and then we each pick the three that we'd most like to, ahem, pour into our bowl.  Click here to listen to the full ep...

BONUS: The Grawlix Get the Facts About Recycling 20.07.2021

After a week of trying (and failing} to use less plastic, we realized that we needed to stop bullshitting and talk to an expert. In this special bonus episode, we interview Will Hancock, a sales director for Plexus Recycling Technologies and a consultant to the recycling industry. Will takes us on the journey of a water bottle after it's tossed in a recycling bin and gives us the dirt on compostab...

The Trash Island in the Sea 13.07.2021

Just in time for Plastic Free July, The Grawlix attempt to cut plastic out of their lives for a week straight, only to find themselves helplessly torn between their desire to do the right thing and their love of seafood and takeout coffees.

Kind Buds 29.06.2021

High off the results of their positive push in the previous episode, Andrew, Adam and Ben become low-rent superheroes and scour the city for random acts of kindness they might provide.  Featuring standup clips from Brandie Posey and Christian Duguay! LINKS: Check out Ben's new album, "Take the Sandwich" Help Danny Ramos recover from a hit & run car accident The Grawlix on Twitter and Instagram Vis...

Positive Push! 15.06.2021

After Ben and Adam reveal they've got a case of the crankies, Andrew calls for an emergency positive push. Channeling the spirit of the late great Brody Stevens, the boys all commit to positive thinking for a week—by recording voice memos of all their negative thoughts. Oh, and then they have to play them for each other on the podcast. Will sharing private logs of their tantrums and bouts of self...

A Sprinkle in Time (with Shayna Ferm) 01.06.2021

In a move that's clearly just a ploy to boost ratings, Ben and Andrew decide to throw a surprise Zoom baby shower for Adam. And by "baby shower" we mean sprinkle. And by "sprinkle" we mean diaper sculpture contest. Special guest Shayna Ferm joins to offer wisdom and judgement, Producer Ron gets dragged into the sculpting competition, and Adam joins in the second half to display the freakish and fa...

Touch the Void 18.05.2021

Ben, Adam, and Andrew reunite in person for the first time in months—to test their grip strength and their trust in one another—by going indoor rock climbing. Will the the bonds of the boys' friendship become stronger when they're literally tied to opposite ends of the same rope?

El Grawlix Salva La Idioma 04.05.2021

Adam once considered himself fluent in Spanish. Ben and Andrew, not at all. But that doesn't mean all three of our intrepid Grawlix heroes can't use a week-long refresher course on the second most commonly spoken language in the US. Join them on un viaje hispanohablante!  Featuring a thirteen-year-old standup clip from the well-traveled travieso Adam Cayton-Holland and a much more recent clip from...

Sax That Dagger 20.04.2021

Setting out to answer that age-old question, "does weed make you more creative?" Andrew, Adam and Ben celebrate that oh-so-Colorado holiday of 4/20 by saxing a few daggers and then taking creativity tests administered by Producer Ron. The results are very, very stupid.  Featuring standup clips from Steve Vanderploeg and Eeland Stribling! LINKS: The Grawlix on Twitter and Instagram Visit our Patreo...

Boi Crazy: Presidential Assassins 14.04.2021

That's right! It's another brand-spanking new episode of Boi Crazy, and inarguably our most batshit episode to date!  This time, we rank the hunkiness of US presidential assassins—and yes, we included an attempted assassin as well. Duh. Enjoy this free mini episode and then join our Patreon, where you can listen to the full episode—or watch the uncut video of this episode recording, complete with...

How You Dumping?! (with Ian Karmel) 06.04.2021

All Apologies 23.03.2021

We've all got moments we're not proud of. Times we were dicks. Times we were completely wrong in our thinking. Times when we were...too drunk. And sometimes it helps to talk about those moments, and apologize for them. Because, undoubtedly, if more people apologized when they were in the wrong, the world would be a much, much better place. Allow us to get the ball rolling. Featuring standup clips...

For Whom the Bell Tocks (with Steph Tolev) 09.03.2021

Remember our first episode? The one where we swore off social media for a week? Well forget all that. For this episode, we throw our respective hats into the TikTok ring to see if as comics we should be embracing new-fangled forms of expression and self-promotion. And we invite none-other-than hilarious comic and TikTokker extraordinaire Steph Tolev to show us the ropes and judge our efforts!  LIN...

Hey, It'd Be Cool If You Didn't Talk So Much! 09.02.2021

In what is surely a podcast first, three standup comics vow to be better listeners rather than just wait for their turn to talk. Andrew and Adam put into practice helpful listening tips while Ben takes a vow of silence for an entire week, resulting in a palpable dip in global jiu-jitsu chatter.  Featuring standup comedy clips from Troy Walker and Emily Maya Mills! Here's a link to that NYT Smarter...

Operation Stop Being Such An Uggo (with Kyle Kinane) 26.01.2021

Look there's just no beating around the bush: The Grawlix are a bunch of fucking uggos. We're just butt. And the pandemic ain't helping. So we decided to take a week to practice some proper facial skin care—and we reached out to Arbonne Regional Sales Champion Kyle Kinane for help. Featuring standup clips from Kyle and Charla Lauriston! Wanna see the before-and-after photos from this episode? We'v...

The Grawlix Saves the Zodiac 12.01.2021

Boi Crazy: Top Gun 06.01.2021

In a move that is just so Andrew, he picks the movie, "Top Gun," for his first time at the Boi Crazy wheel. "But Andrew," we said. "They are men, not teen hunks." "Yes," Andrew responded. "But they helped turn us from Bois into men." And there's just no arguing with that. The rest is Boi Crazy history.  Enjoy this free taste, and listen to the the entire episode (with video!) by joining our Patreo...

Secret Satan 22.12.2020

Typically the Grawlix GloboCorp company holiday party is a fête for the ages! We break into one of those storage PODS and smoke cigarettes until we all get headaches, just like in the bible! This year pandemic restrictions have us homebound, so we celebrate the only way we can—with secret present drops for one another in the dead of night, and barely restrained passive aggression. And we invite pr...

Got 'Gotchi? (with Maria Thayer) 08.12.2020

Remember Tamagotchis? Those egg-like keychains that were actually little digital lives that you had to take care of? The ones that were so popular in the 1990s? The ones that shit and eat and need medicine and stimulation and discipline? The boys sure do! The boys and special guest Maria Thayer (Those Who Can't, Strangers With Candy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), just spent a week raising them! What...

Challenge Accepted 24.11.2020

It's Thanksgiving time at The Grawlix Saves the World—and we suppose everywhere else too—and what we're most grateful for is our fans. Specifically those who support us on Patreon. The rest of you are great, but let's get real: money talks. So, to show our gratitude, Ben, Adam, and Andrew each take on separate challenges suggested by our Patreon subscribers!   Featuring standup comedy clips from K...

Bird is the Word 10.11.2020

Huzzah! The episode America has been clamoring for! After exploring Ben's love of jiu-jitsu and Andrew's love of Dungeons & Dragons, Adam finally gets his day in the sun, as he shares his passion for bird-watching with his cohorts.
