Welcome to The Backup’s Backup, the comedy podcast where two barely qualified thinkers tackle wildly unimportant problems with maximum effort. Ever wondered how to survive a fall from space?

Each week, we pick a ridiculous scenario and break it down with questionable logic, zero credentials, and a lot of laughs. Enjoy.

EPISODE 7: ADDRESSING THE SHARK PROBLEM 25.07.2025 1:02:50

Big Vending Machine gave us a call. Said sharks are getting too much good press. So, naturally, we took the job. Do we know why we were chosen for this? No. Do we take the assignment way too seriously? Always. Let’s make sharks scary again.

EPISODE 6: SURVIVING A BEAR ATTACK (with a twist!) 18.07.2025 1:03:07

Using only what we see on the shelves, we each break down how we’d survive, escape, or outlast a full-grown bear in the most unexpected of places... No training. No weapons. Just instinct, desperation, and apparently a lot of sunscreen. Enjoy!

EPISODE 5: WHO IS THE TRUE KING? 11.07.2025 1:06:14

We travel back to medieval times with one goal: become king faster than the other. From fake prophecies and surprise invasions to questionable alliances and suspiciously modern strategy, we each unveil our totally flawless royal rise-to-power plans. Just how fast can we seize the throne… while still being trapped at our desks… in a closet… with no claim to anything but a printer? Enjoy!

EPISODE 4: SAVING THE WORLD FROM TSUNAMIS 04.07.2025 1:00:55

Armed with zero engineering degrees and an overflowing sense of confidence, we present our plans to defend the world from massive walls of water. From industrial-sized sponges and pulse cannons to elite anti-wave task forces, we’ve got everything covered—except maybe the laws of physics. Just how far can we go... while still being trapped at our desks... in a closet... dangerously close to sea lev...

EPISODE 3: ANNIHILATING ALL MOSQUITOES 27.06.2025 1:08:53

This week on The Backup’s Backup Podcast, we take on humanity’s most annoying enemy: mosquitoes. Armed with zero scientific training and a deep personal vendetta, using only the tools, technology, and spite currently available to us, we hatch our grand plan to wipe every mosquito off the face of the Earth! Just how far can we take it... while still being held hostage at our desks... in a closet......

EPISODE 2: MAKING THE BIGGEST CULT 20.06.2025 1:02:26

This week on The Backup’s Backup, we attempt the impossible: building the world’s most powerful cult using only what we currently own. No funding, no followers (yet), and absolutely no moral compass. Will anyone join us? .....should they? As always, we’re giving this ridiculous idea maximum effort and zero qualifications. Enjoy.

Getting to the Bottom of the Ocean 13.06.2025 53:31

We are getting to that ocean floor. We are working out the kinks during our podcast premiere but it's only getting better from here.
