The American Journal of Losers

Friends. It’s time we said goodbye—at least until some Qatari billionaire offers to foot the bill. But first, we need to make an episode so bad that no one will miss us. And also figure out who the biggest loser we’ve ever covered is.

One day The American Journal of Losers will be taught in high school classes as the textbook example of the depths of misery to which human beings will sink, but for now that honor goes to the Stanford Prison Experiment: Phillip Zimbardo's wacky summer camp for wayward boys.

Eek! The A-SCARE-ican GORE-nal of BOO-sers has taken over once again! This time with strange little gray men from outside this planet who are here to stick to metal objects in our holes. Good thing the three brave hosts of the podcast can be described as “skeptical to the point of being uninterested in this story”.

If you ever hear a bad episode of this podcast, it’s because we made it bad on purpose to get an illegal cut in from some guy named “Money Malone” or whatever; just like the Chicago White Sox did in 1919 when they intentionally threw the World Series to profit off an illegal sports betting apparatus.

No need to put away your Bible after your pre-podcast prayer because this week we're doing a classic listicle style episode about the top three biggest losers in the Good Book! Or at least, the ones that Joey remembers from Catholic school.
