The Weekly Substandard Expanded Universe

Thomas went on a trip, Chris has just learned about the Nobel prizes, and Ryan had a birthday!

The new circular economy is here to stay. Thomas brought a game for Chris and Ryan to play. Ryan has found a new Walmart. Chris is excited about the Gophers going undefeated late in the season.

Ryan struggles with his blower motors, Chris has discovered twins (not the Minnesota ones), Ben watched The Bear, and Thomas comes ready to share a new Swedish delicacy.

I love it when a podcast plan comes together. Chris has a new favourite comedian, Ryan got into a fight with a gas station, and Thomas introduces the Lassi-cut.

Chris and Thomas cover a wide variety of topics in Ryan's absence. Vanity plates, brown noise, the rate of tampon consumption in space, tipping and more!

Our lost executive producer returns to the show and chats with us about Putin's bodyguards, Thomas' new set of wheels, Ryan's adventures with pets, and much more on this weekly podcast.

Thomas wants to talk about a different kind of cruise, the boys discuss a brand new type of toilet, and how much are Minnie and Mickey actually worth?

Chris has been to a "family wedding," Thomas has come up with his best game yet, and all Ryan can think about is the new Top Gun.

Thomas got a bathroom story (and got a watch! Not related!). Chris has watched a bunch of movies. Ben Parker joins the show and helps the boys create the next, big Hollywood blockbuster that will win all the Emmy's.

After an all too long hiatus (it becomes clear in the show who is to blame), we return for the SSEU Week of podcasting. In this episode, one of the hosts goes to bat for Emily in Paris, we discuss the meaning of a "men's breakfast", and complain about a host of new movieshows.

Thomas explains where tacos really come from, Ryan and Chris get to play a game, and no one on the show has a future career as a baker. Oh, and the boys also discuss Inventing Anna.

The boys have watched Netflix's new Bubble-movie, which would have scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes had it been the only movie ever released. We also review the Academy nominees' swag bags and give helpful advice in our frequently recurring advice column.

The boys are briefly joined by the fourth Beatle, Ben Parker at the beginning of the show before they descend into discussing the new, hot show that everyone is talking about: Downton Abbey. They also discuss its American twin, The Gilded Age.

Tim joined the episode to chat about Station 11, Euphoria, and a bunch of other things. Honestly, it is a must list listen.

This episode has two signature features. The first is the longest quiz ever produced by a human podcast. The second is Shannon Last's EXTENSIVE thoughts on the movie Encanto.

Chris and Thomas are joined by (now) frequent guest Jim Swift! They chat about grilling, take a sports quiz, and Chris' experience meeting working man America for the first time.

Ben and Ryan are back with another episode of Ryan, What Is This? Is this the episode where Ryan finally scores a point? Listen and find out!

The boys gathered around the microphones to celebrate Christmas with a game, apartment hunting in Dubai, hated actors and lady actors, Holiday in the Wild, Rob Lowe, and more!

The Beatles are reunited when Ben joins the boys to chat about Swedish Christmas traditions, Chinese Christmas restaurants, Succession, and to play a quizgame!

Two episodes in a week? Yes, we do believe in miracles here at the Standard Podcast. Some miracles happen while you are flat skiing and others when you are getting raped by a beast of a horse. That (and much more) on this week's episode.

The lads get together to chat about a bunch of movies they have recently watched (including the Hangover and Stillwater) as well as escape rooms, self-checkout (who would have guessed), and shoplifters!

Ryan has picked out Halloween costumes for his kids. Chris went to a car wash. Thomas went drinking with a Dame? Dane? We also chat about the new season of Succession and DUNE.

On this episode, Ryan and Thomas chat with Ben Parker (again), Matt Robarts, and Jason Cooper about the latest instalment in the Bond Universe. There is disagreement. We also get more rankings than we have ever had in a single episode. And who is going to be the next Bond?

We invite a Russian expert on the show to chat about cars, Seinfeld, and the Ivy League.

In this episode the boys answer the question "Is Matthew Perry Dead? And if so did he die in a fiery car crash?" Press play for the answer. In other minutes the boys learn how to glue their dickholes closed. For sex.
