Podcast Town

On Step by Step, the kids watch horror films and then take turns scaring each other. Scott Stapp had some thoughts about that when he wrote the unreleased song called “Pray For Sunrise.”

Plus, Chris & Rob share their experience of not going to see Scott Stapp on Fox & Friends, a new listener voicemail, and the creepiest non ghost story ever told. This episode is so spooky you are guaranteed to soil your Hanes. 

Going with the theme of today's Step by Step episode where Karen & Al audition for a modeling gig at the local mall, Chris & Rob book Heidi Klum as a guest on the podcast. Unfortunately the terms of the interview stipulate it must be over AOL Instant Messenger. 

Plus: hear the Creed song Scott Stapp wrote as a very obvious tribute to Al Lambert's modeling career, and we get a new listener voicemail.

Chris & Rob read the lost pilot to a network drama Chris wrote years ago - Doctor Premonition - which is (kind of) similar to the episode of Step by Step where Cody has premonitions in his dreams. The result is must-hear TV!

Also, turns out the Creed song Scott Stapp wrote about that ep of Step by Step was hiding in plain sight on the Eurpean version of Human Clay THIS WHOLE TIME. 

When Chris forgets Rob's birthday, he scrambles to get some of Rob's favorite celebrities to call into the show. You'll never believe what Harvey Fierstein sounds like in real life!

Mark on Step by Step is also celebrating a big birthday, but things don't go his way after he falls in love during a game of "Spin the Bottle".

Plus, the Stapp Conspiracy is blown wide open when Chris & Rob discover the truth about this week's song. The lyrics must be heard to be believed...

Chris & Rob take you inside the Step by Stapp lab to reveal the process by which they identify which Creed song is about which episode of Step by Step. But in struggling to find a song for this week's show, they uncover what could be the greatest conspiracy of the 21st century dealing with 90s post-grunge Christian rock and TGIF sitcoms. 

On Step by Step, Cody teaches kids to read. 

Chris & Rob play a recording of the time they spent Christmas in jail with a quirky police officer (Nick Baglas) guarding them. 

Coincidentally, the experience is very similar to the holiday episode of Step by Step Season 3 in which Frank & Carol spend Christmas behind bars with their guard, Don Knotts. And despite being incarcerated, Rob & Chris still manage to decipher that the Art of Anarchy song "Changed Man" was written about that exact episode.

On Step by Step, Al starts hanging out with the bad kids at school and gets herself into trouble. Hear what Scott Stapp thought about this episode when he wrote his 2013 solo song, "Broken".

On the podcast, Rob gets into trouble as well when his new friend Dennis keeps calling with ideas for pranks to pull on the neighbors. Soon Chris is dragged in and Dennis pits the boys against each other. Plus, a new listener voicemail! 

Chris & Rob offer free advice to some struggling podcasts out there, like this one called "This American Life". With some practice and strict adherence to these guidelines, maybe even those dopes can someday make a good podcast.

Rob & Chris must put aside their dance feud to defeat Joe Rogan & Adam Carolla on "Dancing with the Podcast Stars."

Chris & Rob let you in on their patented methods for picking up chicks at the club in this special episode that should really be behind a paywall. Find out how to avoid bouncers, fake phone conversations with celebrities, and of course seal the deal with the woman you've been ignoring all night. 

On Step by Step, Cody learns a little something about dating as well when he gets involved with a single mom. And this episode really connected with Scott Stapp when he wrote the Art of Anarchy song "Won't Let You Down" about Cody's love life.
