Problem Starters episodes

  • Killer Crackoons from Outer Space

    (Audience disclaimer: Drugs are mentioned... rather frequently in this episode. Do with that what you will...)

    If there's one problem we don't talk enough about, it's all this junk floating around in space! What are we gonna do about it?! We'll just send up some raccoons... waitwhat--

    This week, Finn shares his revolutionary idea of sending raccoons into space to clean things up, but not how you may expect. Liam tries his best to convince Finn that drugs are not the answer, but alas, this is a Problem Starters episode... how do YOU think it's gonna pan out?...

  • Probolympians

    The Olympics. An international competition as old as time... according to the Greeks. But it could do with a bit of a facelift, yeah? Well that's just what the boys are here to do!

    This week, Liam and Finn discuss how they'll bring back the former glory of the Olympics by dissing breakdancing, organizing questionable sports, and... jellybeans??? How deliciously devious!

  • Oxygen Not Included

    SPAAACE!!! It's so vast. So remarkable. So... spacious... But have you ever considered that our solar system could be categorized... as a meal???

    Join the daring dudes of dumbness as they attempt to understand what makes our universe a buffet, get a little too invested in Uranus, pitch fights between abominations of the imagination, and throw their brilliant film ideas at the masses of Hollywood.

  • Liam and Finn Fix America

    In this unusually patriotic episode, Liam and Finn set out to fix a problem gripping our country... what people are referred to in each state!

    Join the brothers in red, white, and blue as they poke fun at the USA's naming system, explain the medicinal wonders of barbecue sauce, and barely even know what Virginia is for.

  • Climate Strange

    Today, the boys tackle climate change, but not how you might expect.

    Join them as they discuss the weird neighbors that seem weirder than they are, how black polar bears might just save the ice caps, and why people from Hawaii need a cooler name.

  • Fame, Fortune, and Felonies

    It's the first episode of Problem Starters!!!

    Woot woot!!!

    The boys kick the show off by discussing the best (and worst) ways to get famous, reminiscing on the famous folks of history they never bothered to learn about (Sorry, John Wilkes Booth. We just haaad to botch your first name), and recognizing that it's always crime time.
