Podcast Town

Chris & Rob are pleased to announce they will be starring in the official 2019 Tostitos Super Bowl ads (after stealing the master copy of the original ads from the Tostitos office janitor). Get a sneak peek before the big game by hearing Chris & Rob perform the commercials live on the podcast. With plenty of twists, turns, audible chewing, & some major celebrity cameos, these spots are BOUND to go viral!

Keeping with the theme, on Step by Step, Patrick Duffy auditions to become an amateur sportscaster at the local TV network. Oh, and also the song "Illusions" by Creed was written specifically about that episode. 

Chris & Rob discuss the episode of Step by Step where Cody joins a fraternity and goes to a party where people are having pre-marital sex. You wouldn't believe what Scott Stapp thought about this scenario when he wrote the bonus track alternate take: With Arms Wide Open (Strings Version)"

Plus, under new corporate management, Chris & Rob must read a series of PSAs. When the ads get a little confusing, the new owners call in to take matters into their own hands.

Chris & Rob try to start 2019 right by solely talking about Step by Step and Scott Stapp, but become distracted by the time machine Rob stole from Elon Musk's house on New Year's Eve. When they get a glimpse of their future 2 years down the line, they realize they must do whatever it takes to change the course of history and save the podcast. 

Also, on Step by Step Dana goes to college and Scott Stapp wrote the Creed song Silent Teacher about it. 

Chris & Rob are planning to record a very special holiday episode - their first ever LIVE stream on Christmas morning. Unfortunately for them, a mysterious podcast hater known only as "The Chunch" has plans to ruin the show and take all the joy out of the now famous tradition that is Step by Stapp's Christmas episode.

As per usual, if you happen to be a music copyright lawyer: please feel free to skip this one. Thank you in advance and happy holidays to all!

Chris & Rob try to do a normal show and talk about the Step by Step episode where Mark takes karate lessons (and why Scott Stapp wrote the song "What If" about it), but are interrupted by a couple of HR reps from corporate who are monitoring the podcast as year-end protocol. 

Chris & Rob discover a lost recording from when they first met at the high school prom in which both their dates no-showed. As the unedited tape plays it becomes obvious that their experience was not only reminiscent of the Step by Step S3 finale, "Prom Night", but also that the Creed song "Unforgiven" was written specifically about that episode. 

Frequent caller Martii dials the podcast for some dating advice after recently divorcing both his husband AND his wife. Rob guides him on his blind date with CKassandra, who he was set up with from hotornot.com.

On Step by Step, Karen & Dana are also set up on blind dates by their conniving mom, and things do not go well. Luckily things did go well when Scott Stapp recorded the Creed song "Ode", allowing us to listen to it as well as understand how it is about bad blind dates.

For their big Halloween special, Chris & Rob book infamous paranormal investigator Chad LaRemy (Nick Baglas). But while recording in Chad's sprawling 19th century mansion, weird things start happening. And the more Chad divulges about his past, the weirder things get. 

Also they discuss the film noir parody episode of Step by Step and the Art of Anarchy song "A Light in Me" (aka the devil's music) which was obviously written about that episode.

Chris & Rob welcome guest Erika back to the show to celebrate Scottoberfest and share in some traditional Scott Stapp themed fall brews. They also discuss the episode of Step by Step where Suzanne Somers gets addicted to diet pills and the Scott Stapp song "Crash", which was written as a tribute to that episode.

Plus, Erika tells her incredible story of seeing Creed perform live in 2002, and a special jumbo sized "You've Got Voicemail" segment. This episode truly has something for everyone. 

When Rob is away on a business trip, Chris finds a temporary co-host named Rick on Craigslist. Then, door-to-door salesman Willy Himan shows up (uninvited) to try and sell his wares. 

On Step by Step, J.T. becomes a salesman himself while washing Tauruses at a used car lot. And obviously the Scott Stapp Art of Anarchy song "1,000 Degrees" was written about that episode too.
