Debut Buddies episodes

  • First National Park (1872)

    We're touching grass this episode as we visit the history and tremendous volcanic power of the First National Park. Join us for a geyser-filled, wild animal-populated tour of the United States' and the world's inaugural outdoor pleasure preserve from Lewis and Clark to Grant and Teddy... and beyond. Plus, another lasagnarific MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There!

  • First Columbo (1968, 1971) with Kylan Savage

    A rumpled raincoat, a disheveled suit, a candela cigar, and a mind for things that just don't make sense... He'll pepper you with clever questions, coolly dissect your deception, and then depart feigning befuddlement. Then... Just one more thing. We dive into the origins of Peter Falk's beloved TV detective series COLUMBO, from its original movie of the week to its meta first episode with our special guest Kylan Savage (In Defense of Kesha, Church Jams Now). Plus, a MouthGarf Report, and I See What You Did There!

  • First Ghost Hunting TV Show (1976)

    All this Ghost Hunter-ing had to start somewhere. But where? And when!? We venture back to 1976, for an episodic program that explored the unknown, and found an early television appearance by the legendary Hans Holzer. The show: In Search of... Ghosts. The host: Leonard Nimoy. The vibe: Genuine curiosity of a kind no longer available on TV. Then we dive into some strange (and entirely normal) happenings in the Mouthgarf Report... and we follow it all with I See What You Did There!

  • First Will Gluck Film (2009)

    Once, there was a type of movie called the teen sex comedy... The themes included coupling, horniness, and goofballs learning lessons about what love really was (sometimes, kind of). In 2009, director Will Gluck (EASY A) debuted with his first firm, one such teen sex comedy about two football stars who plot to score by attending cheerleading camp. F U! F U! F U! We get FIRED UP! watching two men around the age of 30 wisecracking (and growing as people) on this episode. Plus, a fantastical MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There!

  • First Pokémon (1990s) with Ryan Tate

    We wanna be the very best, like no podcast ever was! To catch firsts is our real test, to rate them with Debs is our cause! In the 1990s, Pocket Monsters took the world by storm and proved that a popular Japanese property could not just gain traction in the United States... It could supplant just about everything else! We're digging deep, Diglett-style, to find the FIRST POKÉMON with special guest Ryan Tate! Plus, some especially chewy MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There.

  • First American Film with a Set Start Time in Movie Theaters (1960)

    Before 1960, movies just played on loops at the theater and people could buy a ticket and come and go as they pleased. Then, a film had so massive a twist that the director demanded theaters not let viewers wander in willy-nilly. We're discussing Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's cinema-altering classic on this episode! Plus, a journey to the center of the MouthGarf Report, and I See What You Did There.

  • First Fate Magazine (1948)

    FATE Magazine debuted in Spring 1948 with 128 pages exploring everything from UFOs to Mark Twain's history with Halley's Comet to mental health, Dionysian Celebration, ghosts, automatic writing, the Great Pyramid, Giants, and even contemporary (and sadly still relevant) civil rights and social issues. And we're gonna talk about it! Join us for even more Mouthgarf Report and a classic round of I See What You Did There.

  • First 100th Episode (2026)

    It's our First 100th Episode! Can you believe it? It's time to celebrate! We flip through the previous 99 episodes of Debut Buddies, remembering what we still do. And throughout, we play a multi-round I See What You Did There compiled from past episodes. If you love this episode, I have bad news... We'll never have another First 100th. And if you hate this episode, then I have great news for you!

  • First Steven Spielberg Film (1971)

    It's Mann versus machine. It's Mann versus manhood. It's probably the best television film of all time. And it just so happens to be the debut for one Steven Spielberg. If you like Jaws, may we recommend Duel... where the shark is a big, scary truck! We discuss the film and its background, plus some general Spielberg chatter, the Mouthgarf Report, and I See What You Did There!

  • First Record by a British Rock Group to Reach Number One in the US Hot 100 (1962)

    Back in 1962, the Tornados released "Telstar" a spaced out instrumental written and produced by Joe Meek. It was the First Record by a British Rock Group to Reach Number One in the US Hot 100 and it set Meek apart from the record producers of his time. We explore "Telstar" and the Meek's career and legacy, from ingenuity to outer space to paranoia and beyond. Plus, a jaw-clenching Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!
