  • S2 Ep. 23 - BRENDAN'S MOM

    We’re closing out Season 2 with a bang — and a very special guest. That’s right, Family of the Pod and certified icon, Brendan’s mom (Kim!), joins us for a chaotic and hilarious trip down memory lane. She’s spilling all the tea on baby Brendan: from operations, to how she potty trained him, and what it was like raising someone with his flair for the dramatic (shocking, we know).

    Catch our Season Finale, but don't worry - we'll be back in just a few weeks with Season 3 (and a new guest mic lol).

    DISCLAIMER: Yes, there’s a tiny audio issue — the guest mic strikes again. We’ve learned our lesson and will be burning it in a ritual fire before Season 3. Thanks for bearing with us — Kim’s stories are well worth it.

  • S2 Ep. 22 - THE WHITE LOTUS

    Welcome back to URDONE, and this week we’re heading to Thailand for a wild ride through White Lotus Season 3—and trust, this season delivers. Set against the lush, chaotic beauty of Southeast Asia, the show dives headfirst into themes of spirituality, desire, and the rot beneath the surface of the ultrarich. We’re talking Buddhism, violence, and yes... that scene with the brothers.

    We break down the season’s chaotic cast of crazies. Which characters did we root for? Which ones absolutely drove us insane? And which storylines left us staring at the screen in shock?

    From money and morality to enlightenment and ego trips, we unpack how this season balances satire with soul-searching—and how it keeps levelling up the anthology, even if we still miss Jennifer Coolidge,

    Spiritual crises, awkward sex, monkey attacks... just another day at the White Lotus.

  • S2 Ep. 21 - CATFISH

    Welcome back to URDONE (for real it's actually us!)

    Have you ever been duped online? In this week's episode, we've gone fishing for fakes, and by that we mean we're talking about catfishing—from its shady origins to the internet’s most jaw-dropping scams.

    Inspired by the wild twists and turns of Netflix’s My Sweet Bobby: Catfish Nightmare, we unpack the term's history, the psychology behind why people do it, and some of the hilarious cases from MTV's Catfish. Plus, Brendan shares his own personal catfish story (yes, it happened to him!), and we dissect how social media keeps making it easier for deception to thrive.

    Get ready for a juicy, slightly unhinged, and totally binge-worthy conversation. Hit play and let’s get into it! 🎣💻👀

  • S2 Ep. 20 - GLEEKS (with Friend of the Pod - Eddie)

    Theatricality, Chaos, and a Potential Curse? A Glee Deep Dive (with Friend of the Pod - Eddie)

    Welcome back to URDONE - this week we’re donning our finest gold stars and diving into the absolute fever dream that was the TV show, Glee. And who better to join us than an extra special Friend of the Pod (and full-time Gleek) Eddie, who could probably teach a class at NYADA on this show’s unhinged legacy.

    We’re talking everything—our favourite performances, the storylines that made us question reality, and yes, whether the Glee cast is truly cursed or just victims of Ryan Murphy’s chaotic energy. And because we believe in true theatrics, we end the episode with our guest segment FUN or URDONE, where Eddie must decide if some of Glee’s most insane moments were iconic… or crimes against television.

    So grab your slushies, avoid the choir room air vents, and prepare for a wild ride. This is Glee, baby! 🎤✨


    Disclaimer: Our audio issue from the Gaga episode reappears around the 40min mark, so no it’s not your computer that’s broken. This has been resolved in future episode!

  • S2 Ep. 19 - BAD MOVIES & GENERAL CHAOS

    Welcome back to URDONE! This week we (try) discuss what it's like to love a movie that’s absolute trash, and then sort of go off the rails.

    In this episode, we dive into our favourite bad movies—the ones that make no sense, have terrible dialogue, and yet, we can't stop watching. Have you heard of the Razzie Awards? Well then you're in for a treat.

    From cinematic disasters to cult classics, we embrace the chaos... and then the chaos takes over. One minute, we're debating Rotten Tomatoes scores, the next, we're on to whatever else pops into our minds. This week's episode is fast, it's fun, and it's a wild ride.

    Buckle up!

  • S2 Ep. 18 - LADY GAGA: MAYHEM (with Friend of the Pod - Daniel)

    DISCLAIMER - The audio for this episode is not up to our usual standard, we had some technical difficulties, but we thought the content was so good we couldn't keep it from you.

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Welcome back to URDONE, but we're not the only one who's back because so is Lady Gaga! In this episode, we sit down with Friend of the Pod - Daniel to deep dive into Gaga's new album, Mayhem!

    We kick off the episode with THE KETCHUP before setting the stage for a track-by-track analysis of the album, dissecting the sound, the lyrics, and themes of this highly anticipated record. Plus, Brendan shares exclusive behind-the-scenes context on several songs, and we speculate on what they could mean for Gaga’s evolution as an artist. Is Mayhem a return to her roots, or is she forging a bold new path? Let’s discuss!

    Tune in and let us know your thoughts—what’s your favourite track from Mayhem?

  • S2 Ep. 17 - CONSPIRACY THEORIES

    Welcome back to URDONE ... if you believe it's really us. Are we secret believers, or do we roll our eyes so hard they land in another dimension? This week, we’re diving deep into the chaotic world of conspiracy theories—because, honestly, the internet has given us some absolute gems.From "Avril Lavigne has been a body double for YEARS" to "Did the moon landing even happen, or was it all a Hollywood fever dream?"—we break down our favourite wild theories and decide if they’re legit or just the deranged ramblings of a Reddit thread gone rogue.Then, we wrap up by bringing back our legendary segment SCREAMING, where we spill the tea on some truly unhinged interactions with people who are way too deep into conspiracy-land. (Like, ma'am, no, I do not think that building is a 5G tower, but thanks for the PowerPoint.)So grab your tin foil hats and prepare for some deeply unserious investigative journalism—because we’re getting weird.🎧 Listen now, or risk being replaced by your clone. 👀

  • S2 Ep. 16 - MEAN GIRLS

    Welcome back to URDONE, we are diving into the world of Mean Girls—the movie, the memes, and the moments that shaped a generation. We gush over the humour, the endlessly quotable lines, and why this film still owns pop culture. Brendan gives us the inside scoop on the lore behind the Instagram account Mean Girls Art History (because Regina George totally would have been a Renaissance muse).Then, we take the drama off the movie screen and into real life, discussing who we think are the most iconic real-life mean girls. Finally, in our segment Out of the Group Chat, we get real about our own mean girl moments—because let’s face it, we’ve all had them.So grab your Burn Book (or, like, your headphones) and get ready for an episode so fetch that even Gretchen Wieners would approve.Don't forget to like and subscribe!

  • S2 Ep. 15 - MY STRANGE ADDICTION / OBSESSION

    Welcome back to URDONE, and this time we're obsessed or, better yet, addicted? Buckle up, besties, because this episode is a wild ride! We're diving headfirst into the world of My Strange Addiction, the TLC show that gave us true range - from couch cushion connoisseurs to people madly in love with inflatable animals (15 to be exact). Yep, you read that right.

    If you haven't watched, no worries because we'll play the clips so you can be on this journey with us and hear our unfiltered reactions, and—because we love a little chaos—we even debate which bizarre addictions we’d be most likely to take on. (Spoiler: some of them almost make sense... almost.) Plus, we get into the why behind these obsessions—psychology or just plain weirdness?

    Hit play, grab a snack (maybe not couch foam), and let's get into it!
