Best Frenemies

Johnny and Christopher discuss how the cosmos has come into sync, allowing them to be unemployed at the same time. They give their Top 5 cool stuff they’re going to do while jobless. They discuss Deep Cover, a true-crime podcast about an undercover FBI agent whose case ultimately leads to a US invasion of a foreign country. (Johnny is trying to take credit for discovering this podcast, but his brother, Billy, recommended it to us, which is further proof that Billy is the cooler of the Castanha boys). They recommend some stuff, and Johnny plays music that Christopher will fast forward through.

Johnny and Christopher have outdone themselves with their argument over the Top 5 reasons Best Frenemies will break up. It’s a bitch fight for the ages. A knockdown, drag-out, I’m-gonna-scratch-your-eyes-out brawl. Prof Jeff joins the boys for a #comichead segment. Johnny and Christopher discuss the second season of Amazon Prime’s The Boys. They recommend some stuff. And, more importantly, they give a long-overdue shoutout to Josh “Tight Butt” Camp, the newly crowned number one fan of Best Frenemies.

As a special bonus, Johnny and Christopher demonstrate their scat abilities. They are considering starting a scat band.

Shockingly, Johnny and Christopher managed to make time to record this episode. Johnny has gone down a video game rabbit hole, and Christopher is busy pretending to look for a job. But the boys came together and got it done. In this episode, indie rock star Daniel Fornasa, aka King Daniel, stopped by to discuss the life Johnny and Christopher wish they had. They do Top 5 things that will kill them before Covid-19. They recommend some stuff. And they talk about the NBA season restarting and how much Johnny hopes the Clippers win it all this year.

Yippee-ki-yay, mother effers! It’s the western episode of Best Frenemies! Johnny and Christopher dressed up for this episode; Christopher looked like a rugged, manly cowboy, while Johnny looked like the cowboy from the Village People. Prof Jeff joins them for Top 5 western films and #comichead. They recommend some stuff, and Christopher ruins one of Johnny’s stories, which is excellent! Payback is a bitch!

The Best Frenemies have broken quarantine, and the only reason is that Johnny was butt bent that Christopher sounded better in the remote recordings. Seriously, true story. “Chris, I don’t care if you get the ‘rona and die! I’d gladly sacrifice your life in order to not have you sound better in our podcasts!” Johnny and Christopher do Top 5 favorite alien movies. They discuss the Spotify podcast miniseries Wind of Change. They recommend some stuff. And in this episode, they begin a new segment called: What did the Aussies say?

Johnny and Christopher are beginning to crack from the imposed lockdown. Okay, Johnny is doing just fine. Christopher is beginning to crack. In this episode, Christopher discusses how he used to get high and watch Varsity Blues over and over. “I don’t want your life!” The Best Frenemies give their Top 5 most rewatchable movies. They discuss the new Apple TV documentary Beastie Boys Story. Prof Jeff stops by for #Comichead. And they recommend some stuff.

Johnny and Christopher are back at it while in quarantine. For some reason, they thought it would be a good idea to invite the Laker Chicken to join them. They learned three things during this segment: 1. The Laker Chicken is an asshole. 2. Christopher has thrown up on the Laker Chicken. 3. Johnny didn’t say much during this segment, so that was a positive. They do Top 5 things everyone loves, but they hate. (Spoiler alert: This might be the most heated Top 5.) They recommend some stuff. (Spoiler alert: Just fast-forward past Johnny’s recommendation; it was a slap in the face to Christopher during an emotional time.)

Johnny and Christopher are back, but this time their audio is better because they’re using headsets. Who knew? Not those technical geniuses. In this episode, Johnny had a great idea to record in his car. “It’ll be like my private recording studio,” he said. “Nobody will bother me.” They had to re-record the first segment four times because people kept interrupting him while recording. Christopher has the outtakes if anyone is interested. In this episode, they do Top 5 good deeds. Johnny’s brother--the well-adjusted and well-read--Billy, stops by. There is a #comichead segment with Prof Jeff. And, as always, they recommend some stuff.

Johnny and Christopher are back fast and furious. This might be a record for fastest turnaround in uploading a new episode. I don’t want to suggest they’re getting sloppy, but they forgot to have a “meat and potato” segment in this episode. But don’t fret. You’ll forget all about that when you hear the shoddy audio as they continue to record as they observe the shelter-in-place order. Top 5 things they’ll do once they are out of quarantine. Professor Jeff calls in for #comichead. Louis Dulien, friend of the podcast, checks in from Austin, Texas. And, as always, they recommend some stuff.

Johnny and Christopher are back for a very special episode that was recorded entirely on their iPhones. They used a special app that allowed them to record while practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Johnny doesn’t have the luxury of sheltering-in-place because heroes don’t think about their own safety. His heroic efforts are making sure the masses have Rockstar during this difficult and uncertain time. Christopher, not so much. Like a sissy, he’s in his house 24/7 like a little bitch. In this episode, they do Top 5 favorite post-apocalyptic films/books/comic books. They discuss the new Netflix series Tiger King. And they recommend some stuff.
