Trading Recs

Kaitlin Klemp joins to participate in many visual gags that will be lost on the listener. The group talks Cats, and reviews Mimic and Sunset Boulevard. Brad also recounts his time walking on Sunset Blvd.

Warning: At 20 minutes in there is a discussion about a Christian haunted house featuring some triggering content. Please skip five minutes ahead at that point to avoid.

A lot is learned on this episode as the boys continue to review some horror movies for the month with Curtains and Beetlejuice. Jaren would like to know why Greg picked Curtains for them to watch, Brad learns about lean (purple drank), and Greg refuses to admit he mispronounced a word. Also, a special voicemail is left at the end of the podcast.

Tim Brouk (writer, musician) joins for the first episode of a month long look at horror movies. For this episode the dumb dumbs discuss The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Creep (2014). Greg mansplains the vegetarian reading of TCM to Brad, and Tim and Jaren find new joys in tubby time.

The goobers decide to do a month of watching horror movies and answering some deep, dark questions. They kick it off by talking about their history with scary films. Also there is a very, very heated debate about Spicy Chicken McNuggets.

Right before recording this episode we learned RBG died. So...that kinda sets the tone. The dummies reflect on quarantine and the pandemic by talking about Baywatch, the effects of social media on children, doctor's visits, what TV show we would be on, and division in the U.S. Also, Brad has a thing or two to say about a certain president. Sponsored by Japan Tourism Board.

Should we talk about politics? Can we? How dumb are we really? Patrick Barrett stops by to discuss the state of things. Jaren solves the electoral process, and Brad has a really cool microwave.

Wanna play a game? The gang talk board games while Brad eats some soup. They also play "20 Questions" with Christopher Nolan.

Jaren and Greg reflect on the podcast so far. They also talk about creative endeavors, character impressions, and where the podcast can go from here.

Harry Nelson (Beautiful Anonymous, Earwolf) is a podcast producer who generously joins to put the boys in their place. Perhaps more questions are posed than answered. Is this really Greg's podcast? Should this podcast continue? What is the point in all of this?

The final episode of the summer themed episodes. Jaren has summertime sadness while the group talks about Brad wielding a machete, nicknames, pizza delivery, tipping, math, IKEA, Christian athletes, and Cardi B.
