Sup dawgs. Long time no see. Today we've got a special one-off for ya's, with popular indy/fantasy author and podcaster DREW HAYES stopping into The Hut for a Q&A and filling in for the random, meandering nonsense conversations that are typically fulfilled by Nick. But Nick couldn't come because he was playing Magic The Gathering tonight, or something. Nick's really good at Magic The Gathering. What was I saying? OH, RIGHT. Drew Hayes is a good friend of our fearless leader, Robert Bevan, an...

Today...yeah. We wrap up Critical Failures VI, and we are All. Over. The. Place. Even by our standards. It's like when you're in middle school and it's the last day before summer vacation. BUT we do in fact discuss the last third of the book. And a bunch of other stuff. To name a few: Satanism, Guns N Roses, Podbean's Tech Support, Tracksuits, why Nick hates Locks of Love, Android vs iPhone, and that's just the first ten minutes, guys.

Tackling the second third of CF VI. Today we're joined by my ex-best friend, now NICK'S *NEW* best friend/bromance, Ken! All three of us try to keep from going off the rails TOO-too hard. But let's be real, bullshit is what we do best. We talk Superbowl, pro wrestling, gambling, and sneak in a tiny bit of Caverns & Creatures, too. Oh, and Nick goes HAM on rabid Harry Potter fans. It gets...intense. The Regurgitator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNqEJNGx8 Find the show on Facebook or Twi...

AND WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! It's like riding a bike. If bikes were books about dick and fart jokes. Today we crack open Critical Failures VI: The Good, The Bad, & The Neutral. With an extra PHAT helping of nonsense, on account'a how long we've been away. We missed you Failures. We're like the absentee dad who just wanders in and out of your lives at random to ease our own guilty consciences. OR not. One of the two. It's good to be back. PS- we DID attempt to find a guest to be on today's sho...

Today on the show we break down episode four of Haunting of Hill House entitled "A Twin Thing" plus get really hung up on what our favorite Ben Stiller movies are, for some stupid reason? Oh and get really misty eyed over the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. The man was a national treasure. Deal with it. OH AND MOLLY JOINS THE FIVE TIMERS CLUB! HOOAH!

This episode we are joined by none other than the man, the myth, the pastry kink fetishist- CRITICAL FAILURES AUTHOR ROBERT BEVAN! We have a good time chatting about the current state of CF7, the Audible edition of CF6, the video game, a possible TV show adaptation, and how excited our fearless leader is to be on Molly's revised celebrity crush list. Bevan also sticks around to break down The Haunting of Hill House episode 3, "Touch". Find the show on Facebook or Twitter @chickenhutpod Check out...

GUESS WHAT FELLOW HEATHENS? WE'RE BACK! Call it "Season 2" of The Chicken Hut. Call it whatever you want, just don't call it "Not going to listen to this sh1t." MOLLY rejoins the show to tackle the first of what we hope is the ENTIRE run of episodes from Netflix's incredible new horror series "The Haunting of Hill House". Today we dive into episode 1, "Steven Sees a Ghost" and talk about all the sibling character introductions. There's also some really unexpected, semi-erotic, but also deeply un...

THIS IS IT, GUYS! We finish the remainder of the currently available Critical Failures main-series content (or what's available on Audible, anyway, since that's about half our audience.) We do some good BS'ing as per usual, give our final thoughts on CFV (spoiler alert, it's both of our last favorite in the series to-date,) and talk about the future of the show. This episode feels like something of a season-finale of sorts. Oh, we also talk about why the lead singer of Creed is batsh!t crazy, th...

This week, we (barely try to) make excuses for the episode being late, and talk about The Nun (skip to 10:00 to avoid spoilers. I REMEMBERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We also discuss how amazing it is to be a Lions fan. Not really, but it is a good week for us. E-mail discussion finally goes down for real. And then we cover the rest of the characters up to chapter 25 who were left out of last week's All Kat/All The Time marathon. Next episode we'll finish off CFV and then......................see where ...
Sep 26, 2018•1 hr 3 min
So we realized last episode we barely mentioned Kat. Which sucks. Cause Kat is awesome. So today we're going to remedy that by talking ALL KAT, ALL THE TIME (other than our usual beginning-of-the-show BS, which includes a few brief plugs for our non-Chicken Hut projects.) Covering Katherine's journey through the first 25 chapters of Critical Failures V. We also have a post-mortem of Wererat-Gate. OH, and we tease an e-mail segment with Molly...which (spoiler alert) doesn't wind up happening. Fin...

We're joined once again today by Molly.............OR ARE WE? Time to crack open book five in the main series after a brief short-story interlude. I honestly don't remember half the crap we talked about in this episode, because normally I listen to them again before I publish them. But today is football. So I guess if you want to hear all the ridiculousness, you'll just have to hear it for yourself. I think we cover roughly a third of CF5. With some random jumps forward and backwards as the conv...

As Tim would say, "SURPRISE MOTHER EFFERS!" Time to break from convention and try something new. This week the amazing woman I tricked into marrying me JOINS THE CHICKEN HUT as our first guest host! Nick is presumably on a milk carton somewhere. Just kidding, he's just busy. So today Molly and I discuss having read the first in the short story collections, Cave of the Kobolds from D6. We also dig in to the handful of listener e-mails we've gotten (chickenhutpodcast@gmail.com). The majority of wh...

Nick manages to remain conscious for an entire episode this week as we wrap-up Critical Failures IV. Predictions are a little wonky because we've actually already started reading CV V by the time we recorded this episode. But there's still fun to be had with the return of Nickstradamus. JOIN US ON THIS MAGICAL JOURNEY AS WE BREAK DOWN THE ARRIVAL OF OUR LORD & SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. AKA The New God, AKA The Pillsbury Doughboy, AKA The Pillsburgh Doughchild. You guys for real.

Diving deep (so deep, you guys,) into the middle section of Critical Failures IV: The Phantom Pinas. So this is a bit of a weird one from a production standpoint, see if you can spot the extremely subtle, not at all horrendously obvious point at which we take a break in the recording. It's like Where's Waldo only ten million times harder (and by harder I mean as obvious as the broad side of a barn.) But yeah. It's still a good episode. Cause c'mon. They're all good. IT'S THE CHICKEN HUT! RATE &a...

The debate rages on: MCDONALDS OR BURGER KING BREAKFAST? Nick and Noah agree there's a clear winner, and it may surprise you... That was my attempt at clickbait. GO WAY, BAITIN'. No seriously, we're cracking open Critical Failures IV, and take a character-by-character approach much more than a chapter by chapter one this episode. Let us know how it works for you. Nick is finally coming around on Randy, awww. And we talk about...you know. Like, all the other stuff in book IV, too. Or the first ha...

Today we tackle the second half of Critical Failures III: A Storm of S-Swords, and unpack a few of the conversations we had in the previous episode. Nick also drops a bomb about a Michiana alligator invasion. Plus the return of Nickstradamus/Predictions! Looking ahead to book IV... Oh, and Nick stresses the importance of foreplay. Yup. That happens. GO 'WAY, 'BATIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find the show on Facebook or Twitter @chickenhutpod Check out the official C&C Facebook group to hang out with ot...
Aug 04, 2018•57 min
Covering roughly the first half of Critical Failures III: A Storm of S-Words. We circle back to some pretty serious discussion about the book's use of offensive ethnic descriptors, and beyond that, we cover mostly what you'd expect: Gnome names being adorably silly, both of us being a little bit (a lot) in love with Stacy, and the fact that Nick carries a flag for Gwendoline Christie. We also butt heads on whether or not Randy is a true pedophile. There's not much debate on that point with respe...

This week we cover Critical Failures II: Fail Harder from start to finish! Trying a more streamlined format for this episode based on listener feedback and also because this is the shortest book in the series to date. So we're less plot-point anal, more conversational with a general chronological direction. Don't listen to this ep if you haven't read book two in full! You've been warned! We also discuss how Nick is officially b*lls deep into the wonderful wide world of C&C, much to everyone'...

Wrapping up the first Critical Failures in a hurry so we can eat pizza. The audio sucks on this one, too. It will be back to our usual reach-for-the-stars standard of "slightly below mediocre" next episode. We also talk about how grossed out Nick is by eating seabugs. And regular bugs. This is a half-sized episode, so half the wait for another episode seems fair. Dig in, Failures. RATE & REVIEW THE SHOW YOU HEATHANS. Unless you already have. In which case.................thanks. You can have...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh snap. We made it to episode two. Today we're trying (unsuccessfully) to finish covering Critical Failures 1. Oh, by the way, the audio sucks because I'm stupid and forgot to select the studio mics as the audio input, instead of my terrible built in laptop mic. So it sucks, I know. But we speak English the entire episode, and if you can understand the words coming out of our mouths, then it's good enough.
