THE PODCAST IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE PODCAST. 

That's right, the podcast as we've known and loved it since November 2016 is finally coming to a close. When I first fired up this feed as "Post-Nuclear Reno" I never thought it would become and almost 8-year-long obsession over the dumbest jokes possible that I would then try to call a "content strategy".

The first 100 episodes were a labor of love for a comedy scene that I was way too active in. The next 100 episodes were a deep dive into myself and the people I surrounded myself with. I think the energy expended could be better utilized in some new creative ventures. So I will say goodbye to this beautiful podcast feed. Youtube will still have a few of these newer hybrid video episodes up, I may keep releasing long-form podcast-type videos on that same feed but right now I'm going to focus on edited things.

EDIT: None of the projects I was working on worked out and I miss having a podcast.

I've got Jonathan Allgood here to ring in the new year, we have almost nothing to talk about other than dick sweat. So strap in, it's just a straight-up hour of dick jokes and broader scientific dick concepts. While that's not entirely a lie we also get into In-n-Outs french fry secrets, the rise and fall of Huy Fong Sriracha, apocalyptic Taco Bell Plans, anger issues, and getting back into the standup mood.

Me and Jonathan are here to talk about fighting animals with our bare hands, Jonathan's Tetris mastery, Spotify goosing Green Day's numbers, and some other things.

The alternative title for this episode was going to be "Old Man Yells At Cloud" but instead I went with something more to the point. I complain about the music industry and 15 minutes and then you all get to go back to your lives.

Here's the article I was talking about: https://killerguitarrigs.com/bumblefoot-musicians-t-shirt-salesmen-record-deals-loan/

This week Jonathan and I summoned the strength to talk shit about all our Gen Z haters, then I talked about my dead dogs, and that's pretty much it, see you later.

I have a wonderful guest this week, Luke Demus! He runs a podcast called Topics and Tangents that I was on a few weeks back, and he's been one of the most consistently funny comedians I've shared the stage with. The bad news is you won't get to hear ANY OF THAT SHIT cause I've got TOO MUCH BRAIN WORDS and not enough SHUT THE FUCK UP. Watch as I pelt Luke with words for a whole ass hour about comedy history, my personal psychology, sad stories of dead people, and random opinions about stuff.

Austin Baca and Jonathan Allgood are the two in my stink this episode. Sorry.

That's just indicative of the subject matter we discuss this episode which is mostly shitting. I get accused of blowing up an Airbnb, Jonathan walks us through his wiping routine, and then there's wrestlers and Tim Allens and a whole thing going on, watch on Youtube to get the full effect of this one because I actually edited it this time.

I sit down with ol' Jonathan Allgood to wax philosophic about, like, 5 years ago or something? I compare bits with a way better comedian, talk about Greta Van Fleet, and then there's a bunch of other words in there too.

Austin and Jonathan are here to roll my body around so that gas escapes it and hopefully that gas will flap my vocal folds around enough to sound like an audible joke. This week we bag on Jonathan for whatever just happens to be happening currently, see how many condoms you could eat with proper form, I give them a brand new type of Joe Rogan experience, and then I go on a 20 minute rant about food Tik Tokers that somehow also devolves into me talking about my weird high school program.

Sometimes I podcast tries its hardest not to come together. Never before has an episode of the podcast struggled so hard to exist but we did it because we're champions of comedy. This week we talk about Jonathan's NASCAR Buddhism, we get dueling Austins, I apparently don't know who Peter Gabriel is, then Jonathan creates a production studio and pitches us a cooking show.
