This is the true story … of seven…I mean eight… strangers … picked to live in a house…technically two houses … work together…or not at all in some cases … and have their lives taped … to find out what happens … when people stop being polite…but maintain being mostly polite … and start getting 20something.

I’ve only got 30 seconds to write this description before my computer explodes…Gosh, the time crunch really makes me second guess my every instinct and I just don’t know what to write here. Oh well, check out this epis—

We’re watching the Making It spinoff, Baking It, this week. In this one, we find out that Peacock needs some help making reality competition, and we’re more than happy to oblige. We ALSO find out that our mics came unplugged about halfway through the episode which means that the audio quality takes a hit about 20 minutes in. I promise* that it’s worth listening through the roughness, however.

*”Promise” in this case means I reserve the right to pretend I never promised this if you are not satisfied with the goof quality.

As promised in my six-month lookahead a few months ago, we’re watching the latest, greatest? Marvel TV show. We’re watching Hawkeye this week. If you’re not already connected to our Twitter account (@podcastepisode1), you should swing on over and check out the survey that springs forth from this episode. The future of this podcast depends on it.

With great bow and arrow, comes great responsibility.

The Wheel of Podcasting turns and Ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. In the Third Age, an Age of Podcasting, the World and Time themselves hang in the balance. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow of Bad Podcasting.

We’re watching Wheel of Time! Come check it out!

In our bid to move our way up the Romanian comedy podcast charts, we’re watching the drama? comedy? font of corruption? Tuff Money this week. In this episode, we fail to bring on our resident Romania expert, fail to write a cogent episode two, but we sure as shit don’t fail at making an entertaining podcast episode.

We’re baaaaaack! And we’re watching the latest thing to be shooting up the Netflix charts: Arcane! It’s based on a video game that neither of us has played more than a few hours of so we’re basically blank slates. Is it worth your time? Take a listen and find out!

Fresh off our week off this past week we’re diving into Apple TV’s adaptation of the Isaac Asimov classic: Foundation. It’s a sci-fi trip and we have a lot to talk about.

If you have a lot to say about our show and how much you love it or how much we bastardized a review of your favorite series, leave a rating and review at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-one-podcast-with-michael-and-eric/id1476326541)

Very little to say about this ep. Lots of rage, lots of disappointment. Check out burnpits360.org

Clearly, our many critics are not hearing it at the beginning of our podcast, so I’ll go ahead and type it out here. We’re watching JUST THE FIRST EPISODE of Squid Game this week. It’s a weird, late-stage capitalism Battle Royale that has a lot going on. Come listen to us pick it apart and probably piss even more people off (I don’t think we say anything controversial, but at this point I’m just assuming we’re pissing at least someone off every episode).
