To celebrate one full year of oversharing on the internet, we did what any emotionally unstable podcast duo would do: handed the mic to someone funnier and ate pain-level chicken wings.

Local comedian and chaos conductor Chris Hills guest-hosts this very sweaty episode as we attempt the Hot Ones Challenge—and by “challenge,” we mean “unhinged descent into mouthfire, regret, and revelations. We have no idea how Sean Evans does this.

Come for the near-death spice levels. Stay for the stories, screaming, and some very unexpected facts about Brad and Jess.

🎉 Thank you for one year of laughs, listeners, and lactose.

Bodies in the lake. Rumors in the air. And two podcasters with no investigative credentials whatsoever. This week on Latchless, we’re diving into Austin’s murder lore and the mystery of the so-called “Rainy Street Ripper.” Is it a serial killer? A cursed sidewalk? Or just what happens when you mix tequila, tech bros, and late-stage capitalism? Come for the theories, stay for the chaos—and if we disappear after this… check the river. And Brad’s search history.

In today’s episode, we get caught up with all things Jess and Brad. From our recent foray into the world of high fashion, to celebrating Mothers Day, it’s a can’t-miss scorcher.

Brad seems to be struggling a bit as he adjusts to his new status as a multi-faceted entrepreneur. It’s a first-world problem, and we feel so, so sorry for him (insert heavy sarcasm here). We try our best to stay awake as he walks us through his “problems”.

But relief soon comes when our kick ass hype man servant Doug takes over Jessica’s mic for a bit and gives us all a heaping helping of sh*t talking mixed with pure love.

So saddle up, you gluttons for punishment - your weekly lashings are overdue! Let’s go!!

In today’s episode, we reunite with our dear friend Laura, and we relearn so much of our past as some of those memories have become a bit fuzzy through the haze of the booze and other extra-curricular chemicals.

Laura has lived ten lives so far, and she is about to embark on yet another exciting adventure in the world of fashion design.

She can drive a semi truck, give you the lowdown on the law, design your clothes, and kick your ass - all at the same time. She’s a force of nature and we couldn’t love her more.

So hop on board as we take the last train into crazy town to take our rightful seats at the throne. All aboard!

In today’s episode, we give it all to our best stage performance of getting older and comparing our ailments. Oh… wait, we aren’t acting - it’s real. We’re falling apart at the seams but we still look amazing while doing so. We bet our kidney stones and viral infections are better than yours - just try us!

Our defiant bodies aside, we get deep into all things SXSW. From what it was to present day and beyond, we ponder aloud just what this coveted festival may become in the coming years.

You’re not going to want to miss this or any episode, so sit down, shut the f*

In today’s episode, we’ve become a bit verklempt during our deep dive into a show that continues to define one generation after another - Saturday Night Live.

We’re not just talking about our favorite skits and actors, we’re talking about the music. In our opinion, GenX has witnessed the most pivotal, controversial, and purely magical musical moments of the shows 50 year reign and we’re going to relive them.

So plop down on the couch with a bowl of Colon Blow and a tall boy of Schmidt’s Gay - we’re going back in time. Let’s go, ya bunch of cork soakers!

In today’s episode, we get caught up on all things Jessica and Brad. From what we’ve been up to (yes, we know it’s been a minute), to our bright, innocent eyes looking forward to the NFL’s very first three-peat by our beloved Chiefs (be gentle, we’re still mourning, dressed in black), the shenanigans are back on track.

For those of you wondering just where the hell we’ve been, let’s just say we got some awful Xmas presents in the form of a violent and relentless illness. ‘Twas NOT the season.

So strap in and get ready to get sucked right back in to this train wreck of a podcast - It’s go time!

In today’s episode, we unmask the man behind the curtain. If you’ve attended any of the major National music festivals during the past 20 years, you can thank today’s guest - the one and only Daniel Gibbs.

Come along as Gibbs walks us through his humble beginnings that laid the groundwork for his meteoric rise in the entertainment industry. Also, if you listen closely, you’ll hear jingle bells as Santa was merely days away from destroying our rooftops just to put lumps of coal into our stockings.

That, or Doug was trying on his new bondage gear in the adjoining room.

Tune in and find out for yourselves, ya buncha rubbernecks! Let’s go!
