  • I Don't Get It: Bruno Mars
    Bill and Noah probe the soulless reaches of Bruno Mars, trying to reach some sort of concrete definition of self. Noah finds the slick pop to be pleasing and non-threatening, while Bill tires of identity-free art blowing up huge with the kids.

  • I Don't Get It: My Brother My Brother And Me
    The level of meta irony is stunning as a podcast looks at another podcast -- this time, Noah and Bill consider the McElroy Brothers’ show “My Brother, My Brother, and Me,” an audio show with a 30 minute Seeso video series following close behind.

  • I Don't Get It: Transformers movies
    Hell has filled up, so Transformers will walk the earth. Michael Bay has thoroughly warped not only a good brand of transforming robots, but the very art of motion filmmaking with five travesties in a row. So, Bill and Noah ask, why are these things so popular around the planet Earth?

  • I Don't Get It: This Is Us
    The ratings juggernaut that’s sweeping the sweeps is NBC’s “This Is Us,” a shmaltzy yet highly effective drama with comedic notes about many generations of a family. Noah and Bill talk about Very Special TV and somehow manage to leave Gordon Jump’s bicycle repair man off the table.

  • I Don't Get It: Fidget Toys
    They’re sweeping the nation, and the bellies of seagulls and turtles -- tomorrow’s plastic detritus is today’s hottest sensation, the FIDGET TOY! Noah and Bill preoccupy themselves with useless time-wasting to better get a handle on what’s fuelling this craze.

  • I Don't Get it: Supreme
    If you like $300 t-shirts, you’ll love SUPREME. A “streetwear” label founded in NYC in 1994, this is the latest in a long line of conspicuously-consumed status symbols, an entity which Noah and Bill understand but have no time for.

  • I Don't Get It: Minions
    They are little and yellow, and they are also insipid. Noah Tarnow says you don’t have anything to worry about from a harmless children’s property, but Bill Scurry is puzzled by their alien anuses.

  • I Don't Get It: ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response)
    Noah and Bill whisper and tap their way through an encounter with AUTONOMOUS SENSORY MERIDIAN RESPONSE, better known as the arcane art of ASMR. We discover that Bill is a fiend for it, and Noah gets tingly hearing pickles being crunched.

  • I Don't Get It: Mixed Martial Arts
    Men (and women) meet in the octagon to hurt each other using MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, but in spite of Noah’s avowed fandom of wrestling and Bill’s yellow-bellied cowardice, they just can’t get down with bloodsport.
    @noahandbillshow -- @williamscurry -- @noahtarnow

  • I Don't Get It: Lana Del Rey
    LANA DEL REY is a sad ghost who sings as if her top lip is numb, and for some reason she endures. Noah and Bill get into it as only two middle-aged men far out of her demo could possibly cover the topic.
