Episode 93: "Here it goes!!" 19.05.2023

In this, the third installment of the fourth season, the Richley boys harken back to their roots with a "quality" mad-lib involving both the late, great Burt Bacharach and Joe's best "Dorothy" voice. The epically expositional Tattoo of Death finally reaches its conclusion...with a laser! Finally, yet another sponsor is revealed. In a word? Costner. But before any of this ta...

Episode 92: "I don't...get it?" 05.05.2023

Welcome back, avid listeners! Listen in as the Richley boys discuss a Floridian who seems to have played a little too much Grand Theft Auto. And poorly, at that. The brothers also rezest their infamous FMK segment and decide to take one celebrity on the sledding experience of a lifetime. Finally, Big Guy, of The Tattoo of Death fame, is unmasked in a room seemingly comprised entirely of...jade? Go...

Episode 91: "I almost said 'prawn boker'" 21.04.2023

Season 4 is upon you, dear listeners, and the Richley boys. Joe wastes no time in declaring his love for an '80's musical masterpiece in a refurbished "Walk-Out" segment and the brothers head to a mansion outside of Kyoto, Japan in The Tattoo of Death , their latest foray into the ChooseCo-verse. The brothers also thank and celebrate their first ever sponsor. Enjoy!

Episode 90: "I smelled the bag...it smelled good" 07.04.2023

In what's sure to be known as "the most sophisticated half-hour", the Richley boys close the curtain and bring season 3 to a close with an unprecedented segment involving Lego bricks and one of John's only marketable skills. But first, Joe and John discover the lengths a certain Floridian will go to for a free McDonald's cookie and later have a difficult decision to make regarding the Red Flowers...

Episode 89: "You game jacker!" 24.03.2023

Penultimate! Penultimate! The Richley boys can correctly use the word "penultimate" to describe this episode, the second-to-last of season 3. In it, the brothers do their best to combine The Simpsons and Dungeons & Dragons in a madlib, discuss Joe's love for Matlock and discover his favorite member of The Beatles. All this plus they open Ben's mysterious package "least choose-iest ChooseCo", t...

Episode 88: "I would love to be Steve Perry!" 10.03.2023

Chris joins the Richley brothers once again to discuss some of their favorite moments in music history and a devious plan to upend The Red Flowers gang. Before any of that can take place, however, the worst British accent ever is discovered. It's honestly the worst. 

Episode 87: "A couple guys talking about guys" 24.02.2023

Strap in and buckle up, everyone, the Richley boys (with the assistance of Chris) deliver a lengthy discussion revolving around a Floridian felon, 32 more "super sexy" gentlemen and a tattoo of a red flower. Prior to all of this, John discusses a recent dream he had involving, oddly enough, Chris getting some tattoos. 

Episode 86: "Cupping implies palm of hand" 10.02.2023

The Richley boys are at it again. This time, they're looking into obtaining a "valid alligator trapping license" and determining if Rick Astley's iconic tune can save a fractured relationship. Spoiler alert: you bet it can! In addition, the brothers, fresh off their (frankly) unprecedented "victory" in The Lost Ninja saga, tempt fate once again and delve into another adventure from the good people...

Episode 85: "What is the point of this nonsense?!" 27.01.2023

The Richley brothers bring their "A" game this week as they close out, for good or ill, the saga of The Lost Ninja . Before that can take place, however, Joe has an update on some midwest barbecue eateries and John has not one, but two Floridian headlines. And if all of that weren't enough, the boys also get some sibling relationship advice from a Golden Girls mad-lib. Thank you for being a friend...

Episode 84: "The physical manifestation of pure libido" 13.01.2023

With Joe on location this week, the Richley brothers do their best to remotely record a special episode. John brings the first "Texas" person into the fray and Joe brings a fantastic movie to "Muppet-ify". The boys then go on to definitively calculte the all important "Lovitz to Muppet Ratio" and jump back into The Lost Ninja, getting some backstory on Saito in the process. 

Episode 83: "I'm back to hating this" 30.12.2022

Welcome back, dear listeners! The Richley brothers, Floridians and ninjas return from their brief hiatus in full, glorious force to answer not only a fan email, but some burning questions as well. Where does a "professional arsonist" learn the trade? What are D&D mad libs like? Who's apartment are we going to? And, what the heck is "Western decadence?" Gird your loins and feast your ears for t...

Our Favorite Things: Holiday Edition 16.12.2022

Happy Holidays, one and all! The Richley boys take a break from Floridians and ninjas to stroll down memory lane. Pour yourselves a steaming mug of hot cocoa, drop some marshmallows and a candy cane in there and listen as Joe and John reminisce about their favorite holiday music, movies and more.  PS A very sincere thank you to our dear, sweet listeners, for coming along with us for so long. The h...

Episode 82: "The Royalty of Thieves" 02.12.2022

Magic is literally in the air for this installment. After an interesting development in Florida is discussed, the Richley brothers play a little FMK and relegate a Stranger Things character to a fate at least on par with the Upside Down. In addition, Joe and John are getting closer and closer to finding the lost ninja and, in the meantime, come to a grand realization...they're "in ninja mode!" Gra...

Episode 81: "Tips and Prods" 18.11.2022

Let the tasing begin! The home stretch of Season 3 is here and the boys are grinding away. Still on the hunt for the Lost Ninja, listen first as the Richley brothers discuss the best way to "subdue a naked man" and John confuses the Little brothers, Stuart and Chicken. Feast your ears as Chocolate Thunder and his "rump roasting, bun toasting" dunks are described as well. Remember..."if you ain't g...

Episode 80: "Ninja tools! Activate!" 04.11.2022

To the BART station! While John struggles with both reading and seeing "through his tears" in this week's offering, the Richley brothers attempt to answer some of the universe's greatest questions...Where'd the soggy clothes go? What constitutes "mission impossible ice cream"? Can napkins be cuboidal? Does it end with a knuckle? All of this and a surprising definition of karaoke await you. 

Episode 79: "A lightsaber is a beautiful witch" 21.10.2022

There's a lot going on in the Nerdcave this week as the Richley brothers dive into a Ferris Bueller style escape in Florida, some questionable stories from their collegiate days, a Halloween/Star Wars mad-lib and the next installment in The Lost Ninja. Will Joe continue his spot-on Sato voice? Will Charlie break in during recording? All this and more (or less). 

Episode 78: "It's the Waluigi of names" 07.10.2022

Having successfully completed the ChooseCo Magic Box, the Richley boys belly flop into another Choose Your Own Adventure series. Before they can get "garden casual karate", however, Joe and John marvel at the free service available from Floridian police officers and get buried in a dark Batman conspiracy. What if Batman isn't a hero?  

Episode 77: "Say goodbye to your kidneys!" 23.09.2022

First, say hello to another installment of Floridian news (how fast can a John Deere lawnmower travel?) and another chance to decide who is watching tv with mom and dad (naked bongo McConaughey?). Only after all of that do the Richley brothers jump back into the caverns beneath Stonehenge in search of Alistair McCallister. Will they fall prey to the fairy magic? Will they die spectacularly? 

Episode 76: "'Private' is a level of dancer" 09.09.2022

Fully entrenched in what turned out to be Stonehenge Comic Con, Joe and John have some questionable fairies to deal with. Before they return to England though, the Richley brothers discover a somewhat disturbing trend occurring at Bass Pro Shops and they both do their best to channel their inner Eazy-E. This truly may be the "blurst" of podcasts. 

Episode 75: "It's jazz on jazz" 26.08.2022

Welcome back, dear listeners! In this offering, the Richley brothers come to grips with hard truths. Namely, they don't know what "OMC" stands for...they don't know the destination of a Floridian time traveler...and they don't know why Joe can't stop singing Highway to the Danger Zone . Nevermind, "Danger Zone" is great song, applicable to all of life's situations. That's why. 

Episode 74: "That's ok...nobody cares" 12.08.2022

The Richley brothers are making magic this week! After checking in with some Floridian sisters, Joe and John use an FMK segment as a thin veil to expound their love for one of the universe's greatest rappers/human beings. John also plans a trip to an amusement park with one of his favorite Chris Farley characters. Finally, the boys start their fourth ChooseCo adventure... Forecast from Stonehenge...

Episode 73: "He's Montell Jordan up in that piece!" 29.07.2022

This is how we do it, everyone! Another weird and wild installment from two brothers you've never met. This time, the brothers find out exactly how not to plan a wedding in Florida and exactly how Joe feels about Fleetwood Mac. Hint: it's not good. A boat constructed of solid gold and a giant fish come to a head in the latest segment of The Trumpet of Terror . 

Episode 72: "That time I harpooned you!" 15.07.2022

Joe is back this week and, to celebrate, John unearthed possibly the oldest Florida man from the archives. In addition, the Richley boys do their best to jumpstart their rap careers by including lyrics surrounding Amelia Earhart and a potential "World's Greatest Lover". Is there a safe way to combine both Tag Team and 90s Ice Cube? Finally, the Trumpet of Terror is stirring up trouble on the water...

Episode 71: "Everybody needs a Joe" 01.07.2022

Pour yourself a nice, steaming cup of Joe, relax and listen as John and guest-host Chris whisk you away to Joe-apalooza. This episode is focused on everyone's favorite younger brother, Joe. In this latest offering, a new version of The Empire Strikes Back is envisioned alongside a very special trip to Cedar Point with a very special person and much, much more! Hold on to your butts! It's Joe-apalo...

Episode 70: "Just pick Betty White" 17.06.2022

It's official! With this episode under their belt, the Richley brothers are 0.7% of the way to 10,000 episodes. In this seventieth installment, Joe and John celebrate a "Jord-aversary" and do their best not to die with Odin Thorsdad. In addition, Joe low key plans a Star Trek reenactment instead of a dinner party and John lays out some "satisfying" historical facts. Tune in! Buckle up! And prepare...
