We pulled a sneaky on you here—this one’s from the archive. Recorded in September of 2019, this was the last episode before our hiatus. As we didn’t want it to go to waste, we thought, “you know who might enjoy this? People who listen to two bros talk about random stuff for 45 minutes at a time.” In this episode, we discuss Lifetime movies starring Lacey Chabert, Steve provides a D&D Update (spoiler alert: Steve gets shot and becomes the villain of the group), and there’s a toe update. At this point in 2019, toe really had to go. You know when toe actually went? About a year later. We also provide an update on our Louisiana cop friend involving a wrecked car and a breakfast pizza.

Episode 31: Pre-Quarantine Innocence

Welcome to our first guest of 2020! Through this hour, we talk about our before 40 bucket lists, provide a long-awaited D&D update, and we try to make Chris’s cat Instagram famous. Surprise, surprise, Woo is upset about the majority of the content on this episode. If you want to join the campaign to continually upset our favorite fireman, follow @itsmenekocat on IG and comment on how adorable she is.  

Episode 30: Five Years, Forty Goals

And… we’re alive. Back in action this week to do a terrible job explaining the year we went missing. What do we talk about first? Of COURSE we talk about Woo’s longing for the closed casinos. Steve joins in on the conversation and discusses the one time he got into the special casino buffet for high rollers. We also discuss Woo’s “scheme” for achieving the highest status of player’s cards at the Borgata. Finally, we get around to beach week. It has changed over the years since we were fresh out of college, but still fun. Round it out with the obligatory pandemic discussion, and you have yourself our first episode in over a year!

Episode 29: Season Two Never Looked so Good

Everyone loves a good concert, and we talk about our favorites through the years. Here’s a spoiler, we’re basically best friends with a member of the Wu Tang Clan. Also, Steve splurges on drinks when he’s trying to appease a sleepy, angry friend. He paid over $300 dollars for just 4 drinks. Don’t tell Woo he said that, because he’ll argue. What else? So much else. There’s definitely a D&D update, so listen just for that. Woo hates it. It will continue.

Episode 28: Talking in Concert

You know what this episode has that others don’t? A special guest! Well, a guest. Some guy. OK... a dude wandered into the studio while we were recording and we put him on the podcast. Either way, we talk about conspiracy theories. But in a much truer, more honest sense, we chat for about 45 minutes about random things and call it a day. Also Steve’s toe.

Episode 27: It's a CONSPIRACY!

On this episode, we fulfill promises and talk about Fat Thor. The guys discuss their ideal mates. Basically, we need our ride-or-die chicks. But nobody who likes olives. Dealbreaker. Also, what are they looking for in a relationship? We also do a Toe Update and talk Headline News.

Episode 26: Heartbreak, Dealbreakers, and Gumball Machines

On this episode, the guys talk about the true individuals they’ve met in their lives. Big personalities are relatable, and need to be discussed. If you’ve ever met anyone named “Big Earl,” he is a legend, and you will have a good time. Steve gives a toe update. You don’t know about Steve’s toes yet, but you will. And then you get an update. Woo and Steve go to a mystery dinner. Steve becomes an accidental a-hole, but also wins the night. Also, Woo gets his hair cut pretty frequently. His stylist always looks forward to it. Finally, the guys introduce a new segment: Headline News! …it’s…. just OK.

Episode 25: Our Big, Whopping Personalities

Woo wants to do steroids, but Steve interrupts, and introduces a new game. He probably stole it from Jeopardy, and he only thought of one. Don’t expect much. Steve may be a fancy boy, but at least he knows when to flee from a tornado. THEN Woo introduces us to his theories on surviving the apocalypse. They’re…. extreme. If we had to sum it up, he’s basically a war profiteer. Apartment living has made Steve soft. But he’s a trooper. Also a fancy boy. Apocalypse movies have been around since Technicolor and when we introduced talkies, but the guys discuss their favorites. Woo likes the zombie ones. We also talk about the tropes that persist through all survival movies, but as usual, expect a surface level conversation, or expect nothing. The guys introduce a new segment. It gets off-topic faster than expected. Finally, Steve’s dad is on Instagram. No account is safe.

Episode 24: All Things Apocalypse

Guess what time it is? It’s time for a Dungeons and Dragons Update! Steve is a Bard. Everyone else is a jerk. Also, everyone gets toasted. Tiger woods. He did it. Again. We discuss the impact. The guys continue on the nerd train and talk about Stan Lee, the Marvel Legacy, and Avengers: Endgame. You know, just because it’s about the biggest thing in the world right now. We discuss the best and worst endings to television shows. You’ve DEFINITELY heard of these shows.

Episode 23: Full Nerd Mode

On this episode, Woo walks us through sandbagging through ESL. Sure, he says he needed it, but he still listens to Dave Matthews. Does that add up? Also, DMB wine? Find out what Steve has to say about it. Woo embarrasses himself at the wine store by trying to embody his primal Action Bronson. It does not go well. The guys also love certain Easter candies, but in completely different ways. Steve and Woo discuss technology and the difficulty explaining it through generational gaps, especially if there is a language barrier. Spoiler alert: Woo’s parents don’t speak very good English. Woo upsets Steve on a very personal level, but with something that has nothing to do with him. Racism is stupid. Finally, we discuss Trash Island, and despite the extreme amount of corrections we got on a previous episode (at least like, 3 texts), we still get who is on money wrong.

Episode 22: Sandbagging Through ESL

First off, where do celebrities even meet? How do remixes happen? Why is Billy Ray Cyrus so popular? Is he even popular? So many questions. It’s Steve’s birthday! Why is it not a national holiday yet? Also, who is the true American Idol? Woo is infamous through his job. For eating. A lot. He gets gawked at. It was like a prison. Or a zoo. Either one. The guys discuss what they want to accomplish in the remainder of 2019, motivation, and consistency. Finally, we wrap it up talking about Steve’s father’s favorite topic: himself. He’s going to love this one.

Episode 21: Recipe for Success: Donuts, Results, and Coffee Mugs

A lowly-edited podcast can get weird. Steve is a Seinfeld guy. Woo is a Friends guy. Steve is right. Woo is wrong. Steve wrote this. Woo did not. Steve discusses times where he has tipped zero dollars. Only a small handful of times, but it was terrible. He will never go back to Bob Evans. He will always go back to Buffalo Wild Wings. Also some factual stuff about Buffalo Wild Wings. Steve likes Buffalo Wild Wings. Buffalo Wild Wings. Steve and Woo both share their experience with really hot wings. Do I have to give a trigger warning for poop stories? Steve gives an official “Shout Out” to Hosier. Well, to be honest, he gushes about how nice the guy is and how well he treats his fans. Steve goes on for a while. It’s… a bit embarrassing. The guys also talk about the nature of celebrity, and how it affects people. Finally, Buffalo Wild Wings. Sponsor us. Also Cheesecake Factory.

Episode 20, Content, Appropriateness, and Full Frontal Nudity

Woo is back stateside! He wasn’t taken, and is absolutely devastated. Here’s a warning: basically the entire episode is about Woo’s Eurotrip. So, if you hate all things international, this episode might not be for you. But if you’re normal, Woo says Germany and Spain are nifty. Also, Steve gets downright poetic, and Woo pre-plans a religious epiphany for 2026.

Episode 19, Born (sometimes) in the USA!

Woo realizes he’s the perfect public servant. Forgetful and a little bit aloof. Also, the shocker is something that should get you into the gym. Woo has a friend that lives in a van down by the river. Not even joking. By the way, how does rock climbing even work? Sometimes people need sandwiches. And sometimes people leave hiking trails. Let’s combine the two. If you want Steve’s personal cell phone, just work with him. You’ll get it. I’m almost tired writing this sentence, but exhaustion… take time for yourself… Finally, there's Fish Monger, The Movie! But this bit goes on for about 20 minutes. Feel free to skip ahead. Finally, joining Panda Express, Steve will never go to Hardee’s again. We’ll tell you why.

Episode 18, Fish Monger: The Movie

Hiatus, Schmiatus. We’ve never been stronger! Plus, what’s 2 weeks between friends? Here, Woo claims he’s never been out of the country. Steve reminds him he was born outside of the country. Woo promptly dismisses it. Either way, Woo is going to Germany and Spain, and I’m not so sure he’s going to find his way back. He says he’s going to get “taken.” Steve shares his out-of-the-country experiences, including the time he was almost abandoned by a tour guide in the rainforest. The guys reach the high point about in the middle of the cast, so if you want to stop listening after Woo’s “dad joke,” we don’t blame you. Much to Woo’s dismay, Steve talks about his bad news. Spoiler alert, it’s about his TV and Woo is very unimpressed. Pineapple on pizza? Yeah. We discuss it for about 30 seconds. IT’S A UNANIMOUS DECISION. Finally, Steve has a movie recommends.

Episode 17: Bullfighting, Bullet Ants, and Birdcages

A long form podcast that blurs the line between blue and white collar. We discuss current events, comedy, pop culture, and our lives through alternative, often conflicting viewpoints. Also jokes. Lots of jokes.
