Wow. Ladies and gentlemen and non-binary friends. What a week.  We discuss Shania Twain, our friends Ryan and Natalie's engagement, faking a deep voice, The Masters, and the thrilling conclusion of The Fast and the Curious. What a terrible series that's been, huh? The last one is fun, though. You should listen. Share it with a friend. Should Austin be on the podcast? You tell us!  Follow...

Welcome, friends!! It's season 3! Can you believe it? We've done so many of these! I feel so lucky that Natalie still wants to do this podcast with me, and that people are still listening. That's so cool.  This week, for Valentine's Day, Natalie gives us an amazing analysis of some lessons we can learn from romantic media. She also takes us through a silly fake dating app. We talk about the n...

We also talk about periods, Michael's fashion evolution, the "Birds Aren't Real" movement, and more things!  Thank you for...

Hello, friends!  This week, Natalie really came with some bangers. One of which is, I think, my favorite dating app profile she's ever shown me. We also do a fun translation game, and talk about going to the dentist, why Tucker Carlson is mad at M&M's, and other fun things!  We had to record virtually again this week because Michael had a bleed, and I know the quality isn't perfect,...

Hello, friend! This week we're recording virtually! From two different cities! You may notice that my (Michael's) audio doesn't sound perfect, but I promise if it was annoying I wouldn't publish this episode. Anyway, this is a very fun one!  We talk about: Eminem, Joel Schumacher ruining(?) Batman's suit, Natalie presents a fun quiz based on bad movie reviews and reads listener-submitted stor...

Hello, friends! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our New Year's Eve livestream. We had such a good time, and we hope you did, too! We didn't record a regular episode this week, so here's the audio of the livestream! We're also working on getting it uploaded to our YouTube channel so you can watch it there! This livestream includes a murder mystery, a fast food tier list, a very impa...

Hello, friends!  First of all, as the producer, I need to let you know there is a slight fan noise throughout the podcast. The fan was too close, guys, and I didn't realize it. I'm so sorry! You also might not notice, but I feel I wouldn't be doing my duty if I didn't mention it.  Anyway, this week, Natalie is feeling good and Michael now has the ability to do sound drops. Both of those...

Hey, everyone!! This week, Natalie really powers through for us. She was feeling super sick and tired, but she drove all the way to my house to record, and we hope you like it!

Helllloooo, nurse! Do you guys remember that? From The Animaniacs?  Anyway, this week we don't talk about the Animaniacs. Instead, we talk about: kids getting hurt, Pretty Woman, tomatas, Natalie spills the tea on herself (like gossip…is that how you write that?), underwear, parosmia, how Michael is a greyhound dog, natural disasters (again), the new Twilight, Grinch movies, sudoku, and Hey A...

Hello, dear friend!  First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who sent us screenshots of us on your Spotify Wrapped. That thank you is clearly extra sincere, as it's capitalized. For real, though, it made us feel very special and loved. You're all so amazing. This week we're back with a chill, rainy Sunday night episode. We talk aboutL Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal, the fire that Michael saw, 9...

Hello, listener! We're in our fifties now. That's so weird. But it's cool. I'm not self-conscious about it at all. Some people say episode 50 is the new episode 30. Right? Don't answer.  Anyway, this week we talk about an awkward interaction Michael had on Instagram, Taylor Swift, Mark Suciu, the bleed Michael is having, we listen to Hinge voice notes, and a bunch of other things!  We're...

Holy cow, man. 50 episodes. I've said this before in descriptions, but, that's bananas.  After a year, 50 episodes, a livestream, and some special guests, we're really happy you're still here. Or you've started listening!  This is Michael, and I just want to say, doing this podcast is one of the best things about my life. Making people laugh with my best friend is such a wonderful thing....

This week is a special 'sode! After some silly and scary stories from Michael, we do a segment inspired by the podcast "Wonderful!" in which we discuss things that we find terrible, and things we find wonderful!  We talk about terrible things like: NFT's and diet culture And wonderful things like: Rax King's "Tacky," hot tubs on a cold night, some good songs, and other wonderful things! ...

This is a very special one! We have our dear friend Jeff Lawson on for a conversation about: breakups, texting with a new romantic interest, how cute Jeff is, how cute dudes are, a LOT of dirty stuff, Rocket League, talking on the phone, another embarrassing story from Michael, and a bunch of other things!
