  • The Butt Plug Railgun

    Ryan takes to the streets with Cap to patrol the internet in search of questions and topics in need of vigilante illumination. Ryan provides an update on the state of the show, before they dive into the hows and whens of doing the gritty at a funeral, taking breastmilk baths, before ruling on whether there is a connection between Impossible Meat and Planned Parenthood. TW: This episode does feature discussion of abortion and cannibalism, but that's the price of exploring the MAGA web I guess. Finally, Cap dives into whether a viral image on the internet faithfully recounts an occurrence of a butt plug railgun.

  • 420 Friendly Crabdaddy Seeks Old Bae

    In this wild episode Matt and Ryan discuss deeply personal healthcare stories, tease a whale milk topic that you heard last week, and generally conduct themselves like over-caffeinated class clowns. But in the process they help an r/nostupidquestions asker embrace their inner Mandolorian. Then they weigh the pharmacological benefits of hotboxing crustaceans, before discussing how to make the humans of today the sentient crabs of tomorrow.

  • The Taylor Swift Lifestyle

    Ryan invites Ian Mauldin to dust off his microphone to talk about all of the internet's hottest topics from several weeks ago! First they throw a wet blanket on Burning Man, before discussing the impact the Taylor Swift Lifestyle can have on a relationship. Then they discuss whether a human being like you and me suffering from lactose intolerance can safely pop a big old rubber whale nipple in our mouth and suckle. Is it cetacean good or is it cetacean bad like this joke?

  • Rocky Balbobot and the Great Fantasy Migration

    Ryan and Cap shoot the breeze about Sci-Fi, seeking to know what Sci-Fi is and whether it can tell us anything about ourselves. They also make some fart noises and go on some pretty gnarly tangents.

  • Dispatches From the Cola Wars

    Yes,  there's a heat wave, but there's nothing more refreshing than rubbing a cool new episode against your earballs. Ryan and Matt start off by taking on an r/AskReddit question about the soundtrack in Hell, before taking on a hellishly tumultuous family feud pitting two golden children against their jealous siblings in the Case of the Stolen In-laws which comes to us courteous of r/AmItheAsshole. Then they take a dip into a purported image of Presidential loser Donald Trump rescuing cats from dangerous flood waters found on Facebook. Then they wrap up the episode with a pair of insane topics that prove that capitalism can make even the softest drinks go hard with death squads and naval armadas.

    Don't Spook Yourself 2 Credits

    Happy Halloween! For the second annual Don't Spook Yourself Halloween spectacular, Ryan is joined by the incredibly spooky Catie Stroud and absolutely kooky Cap from Shrimp and Crits. They talk candy hotdogs memes, before knocking on a stranger's door to provide a smart answer to an r/nostupidquestions inquiry exploring the connection between Dracula and the classic Halloween banger Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johannes Sebastian Bach. Then they try to figure out whether a native American curse is murdering Floridians with cotton candy colored farts. Then they delve into the darkest innermost reaches of the human soul when they answer a cry for help on r/AmItheAsshole dealing with a radio famous monstrous goat sucker. Then they discuss some junior grade suckers being scammed by a post from r/UnethicalLifeProTips. Then they hop onto a vintage meme showcasing the fight against monstrously large grasshoppers in the American west. Finally, our trio of Halloween experts stir the cauldron by helping a user from r/NoStupidQuestion dress themself for the biggest spooky day of the year.


    Also, we've hidden some weird treats throughout the episode.

  • REMASTERED: Ep.027 - The Gordian Forget Me Not

    A Classic from the Archives, one of Ryan's personal favorites because Matt is totally on top of his game!


    __________________________

    On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan celebrate a minor production milestone: six months of podcasting. Then they help the desperate souls of Reddit by tackling their most challenging r/nostupidquestions question yet in which the asker would like to become less stupid. Then they plug into a Black Mirroresque story out of the UK that is too graphic and horrible to describe with any level of anatomical precision. They turn their attention to the font of very much not stupid questions again, but this time the question asker is inquiring about what happens when you put a grenade in a microwave, and we answer the question because we don't think anyone is smart enough to decode what we want. Finally, and possibly forever, they discuss meme reports about QR codes going up on Japanese gravestones.
