How Star Wars Is It? - Not Really a Star Wars Podcast

We're talking Bob's Burgers this week, and no, we did not mean to do tacos one week and then burgers the next! We're just kind of in tune like that. Like we don't even try sometimes and we just end up doing a really well-themed couple of week's worth of episodes you know? Not everyone can be podcast pros like us. Anyway, it's a fun ep because we both like this show! And Josiah brings a Burger of t...

Welcome to Talkin' Tacos where two white boys try to figure out how Star Wars tacos are, and probably let down entire regions of the world in doing so.

And Mike brings back the classic game F...

*Content Warning* This episode is about NXIVM, the cult, and we discuss some of the awful acts that happened because of it. We don’t get into too much detail, but we do mention sex and sexual coercion, brainwashing, and violence both physical and mental towards mostly women. So if you’re iffy about cults in general, maybe skip this one!* We have a Patreon! Go to patreon.com/howstarwarsisit and sub...

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! Get the vaccine! *editor's note* Hey listenerds, Josiah here.

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! Get the vaccine! Welcome, Hsweeties and Listenerds, to the first week of the sure to be fan favorite themed month of…JUNEMANJI.

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! Get the vaccine! *Disclaimer* Josiah here! I lost Mike’s audio track and had to use the zoom as a backup, so forgive any muddy sections when we talked over each other.

Black Lives Matter! Wear a mask! Get the vaccine! This episode is...well it's for dogs, that much you can tell by the title. This is not your typical HSWII fare, but in a way, it might be the most typical HSWII fare there is. It's an episode for dogs. Like, it's directed to dogs and geared for their enjoyment. And in our usual fashion, we didn't do a great job executing the conceit of our podcast,...

You may be thinking to yourself, wait, didn't the HSWII boys just post an episode yesterday? You would be correct. But we couldn't let the historic date of April 6, 2021 go by without recognizing that TODAY is THE day that Plucky predicted he and Hampton and Hampton's family would arrive in Happy World Land. Take some time today and meditate on that. And watch Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Vacation....
