Ep95 - The Alex Jones Show

It's hard to have a brief discussion about The Alex Jones Show. Many people feel that this show is the main reason why Donald Trump is the president right now. Well, that and some poorly executed Facebook ads that Putin purchased with his AmEx back in September. Cros joins the show to discuss all things Alex Jones including some wild statements he's made in the past, what a typical episode sounds like, his endless supply of snake oil infused products, his cool bumpers, and of course the fact tha...

Ep94 - Twisted Philly

We were thrown a curve ball this week. Rather than the usual show format, I had a conversation with Deana Marie, the host of Twisted Philly. I was mainly interested in her obsession with negative reviews. I'm not saying everyone should be like us and read each of their one-star reviews on the show, but if you're going to put yourself out there you should learn how to deal with criticism in a healthy way (hint: offering a bounty for someone's identity may not be healthy). I think you'll find this...

Ep93 - Game That Tune

We're joined once again by Doug from Who's Right (@Whos_right_pod ). If anyone has a reason to hate us, it's Doug. First we bashed his show on episode 86. Then we had him cohost on a show that reviewed a three hour podcast about the earth being flat. And now he's listening to terrible video game music and nerds discussing topics that couldn't matter less. Sorry Doug. At the end of the show Karl shoehorns in more Isotopes music. Check out the band if you're interested: http://theisotopes.com/ Lea...

Ep92 - Planet Maynard

This week we head back down under to review an Australian show called Planet Maynard... or Bunga Bunga... or something. If you like lots of random drops, background noise, a distracting amount of editing, and music beds for no reason, then you're an idiot. And also, you'll love Planet Maynard. Andy the GOAT is back on the show to play clips, some of which are correctly labeled. He also plays everyone's favorite game, Name the Worst Song by This Band I Just Said. Big thanks to Tim and Maynard for...

Ep91 - That Vegan Couple

Are you super proud of your lifestyle? Do you host a show about how awesome your life decisions are? Apparently these vegans think that the way they live their life is so amazing and important that you should listen to them explain how great they are. I don't know, I think you should create a show that features content that is interesting... but what do I know? We also talk about a podcast that is trying to shut us down. After reaching out to our hosting company and failing, The Vanished has dec...

Ep90 - Just a Bill

This week we review a show hosted by two guys named Bill who interview a celebrity whose first name is Bill. Just about everything in that previous sentence is false. It's just grown children playing pretend... poorly. Jen from the Jingles Department joins the show. She spent the week trying to pull clips and figure out her angle on the show. You know what she didn't spend the week doing? Recording more jingles. It's been a long freakin' time. Come on Jen!! We also spend some time talking about ...

Ep89 - The Flat Earth Conspiracy

This was a fun week. Doug from Who's Right joins us to discuss a group of people who think the Earth is flat and stationary. It turns out these dummies are very bad at reasoning. Also, these dummies are dumb. Surprising. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep87 - The Unwritable Rant

This week we spread holiday cheer by reviewing a snoozefest called The Unwritable Rant. Somehow this podcast has interviewed Anthony Cumia, Jim Norton, Ari Shaffir, Charlie Daniels and many other celebrities who are way too good for this show. But it's not just interviews. The often blurry Juliette Miranda also explains how Wild Turkey tastes and tells you boring stories from her life. Who's Juliette Miranda you ask? Great question. Kevin joins the show to talk about driving to the new Star Wars...

Ep 86 - Who's Right?

Who's Right is a podcast who asked us to review their show. The last time that happened Everyone Has a Podcast got extremely butt hurt and their mom called our mom. And then we got in trouble. Hopefully this one turns out better. Joe joins the show once again and for some reason promotes heroin use. He is extremely pro heroin. Good luck with that Joe. We also discuss Net Neutrality for no reason whatsoever. What is this, a show that deals with topical issues? I sure hope not. Who would care what...

Ep 85.5 - Snatch That Weave (Rebroadcast)

WATP is taking the week off, but we did record 30 new seconds of audio and we typed this entire sentence. So.... Kevin and Karl review a podcast called SnatchThatWeave, episode entitled STW vs. EVERYBODY. Unfortunately the podcast doesn't feature snatches or even weaving for that matter which is a bummer because Kevin bought a loom specifically in preparation for this week. Thankfully, he was able to sell the loom on Craigslist albeit at a significant loss. Anyways, enjoy listening to a couple o...

Ep85 - Dr. Gameshow

One of the best segments of any morning radio show is when the hosts play games with callers. So it makes sense to have a podcast with only games. How could you possibly fuck that up? Well, here's how. You play games that are sent in by listeners that make zero sense and lead to awkward improv exercises. Also, you have a low-energy dolt make up theme songs for each game. Andy joins the show to help us understand that despite the terrible execution of this podcast, it wasn't the worst thing we've...

Ep84 - Conversations with People Who Hate Me

The podcast we review this week has a unique format. A gay man (Dylan Marron) puts out provocative videos meant to get a reaction out of people with a conservative ideology. When he gets that reaction in the comments section, he calls that person. That conversation is this podcast. It's a fascinating construct, he gets to be both the instigator as well as the victim. Before you listen to this show I want to warn you that we talk about trigger warnings. If that's something you're uncomfortable wi...

Ep83 - what's ur problem

Remember that show Loveline? People would call in with their problems in order to get expert advice from Dr. Drew Pinsky. Comedian Adam Carolla was quick with hilarious quips, making the advice-style show entertaining. This week we listened to a show that misses the mark on this format in every possible way. The podcast is called "what's ur problem" and it is almost perfectly terrible. We're joined by WATP first-timer Todd Gursslin, cohost of Hate This Podcast. Todd learns what it's like to be f...

Ep82 - Sex Talk With My Mom

This week we listen to a show that is purposely awkward and completely devoid of any comedic value. The extremely old and boring KarenLee Poter talks to her unfunny stand-up comedian son about sex. Here's the joke - the old woman loves sex. Get it? Both of these dummies are trying to turn themselves into personalities based on this boring premise. We also discuss the reaction of the Cum Boys from last week and other things that you may or may not find interesting. Oh, and Jen from the Jingles De...

Ep81 - Cum Town

This is an interesting podcast. It seems like it's for 14 year olds, but for some reason it has thousands of fans. Andy (the GOAT) is back and he doesn't understand the mass appeal at all. We also address the recent shit storm from Twitter over our review of Everyone Has A Podcast (EHAP). Holy shit they suck. Zero sense of humor. We don't usually say this but fuck those assholes. They suck. For reelz. It's embarrassing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep79 Everyone Has a Podcast (EHAP)

Bryon and Adam live in Canada. That's cool. The problem is, they also have a podcast. Ugh. It is not good. There's no format and, for some reason, they consider it to be a comedy show. There have been no laughs... none! Joe joins the show this week to dissect this garbage. Plug your nose and listen to the latest offering from WATP! Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep78 - The TX Files

This week we venture down to Texas to listen to two under-educated bros tell us about a haunted couch. Emily Prokop from The Story Behind podcast joins us to explain how you don't have to leave coughing and other disgusting mouth noises in your podcast. If you're one of the Michaels who hosts this audible garbage that you call a podcast, get out a pen and paper, and then stab yourself repeatedly with the pen. We also read some recent posts from the Dick Show's subreddit that provide constructive...

Ep77 - The Dick Show

This week WATP reviews the Dick Show. Vinnie Paulino joins us to bring a healthy dose of Goss. Not really, he has no idea what that means and neither do we. It's another week where we learn new things like the formula for comedic ranting. And also, that Maddox sucks. If you're confused it's because you're a fan of WATP, and we appreciate that. If you're not confused then chances are you'll be giving us a one star review on iTunes. Fuck you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/ad...

Ep76 - Life Bytes

Two guys do a podcast. Where have we heard that before? There's nothing special or interesting about the show, they just read stuff off the internet and have boring conversations about it. It's a yawn factory. This week Andy is back to explain why this pod should not exist and somehow Karl is the guy apologizing. Whatever. These guys thoroughly suck. However, thanks to Derek for listening and asking for the review. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep75 - God Awful Movies

One of WATP's favorite podcasts is How Did This Get Made. A show that features comedians reviewing movies that are terrible, it's often times hilarious. Unfortunately, we listened to a show that wants to be HDTGM but is not. God Awful Movies features three atheists who laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Jen from the Jingles Department joins the show to listen to Karl wax poetic on this week's show, a could miss episode of WATP. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep74 - The Minimalists Podcast

Two guys quit their jobs and got rid of most of their stuff. That's the whole story. And yet, there's a podcast, multiple books, a documentary, and an ongoing tour all about it. Mark joins Karl to share his disdain of these two gentlemen who he affectionately refers to as "asshats." Seriously people, if there's something we're missing let us know. It's not that complicated, right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep73 - The Adam Carolla Show

Cros shows up to do the heavy lifting while we review one of the most popular podcasts of all time. And by all time we mean since 2009. It's not that impressive. Karl is a fan of the pod, Cros used to be a fan but stopped for many reasons that will become evident quickly and then slowly. After an exhaustive review of the show they play a new track from their band the Isotopes - www.theisotopes.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep72 - Our Big Dumb Mouth

After a few months hiatus, Kevin returns to the show to review OBDM. Kevin definitely listened to this pod but I'm not sure Nic Cage or Cobra Commander bothered with any prep work. Either way it was nice to bring back some old favorites. And by favorites we mean ne'er-do-wells. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep71 - Me & Paranormal You

Some comedian you've never heard lives with another comic you've never seen. The roommate tells a story that is pointless and likely made up. That makes up 100% of the content of this show and we review it. Andy joins WATP to listen to a hungover Karl talk too much. Then we talk about Twitter haters and tease the next episode, which is everyone's favorite part of the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep70 - The Rizzuto Show

Someone who hated WATP, and made it be known on iTunes, is a huge fan of this show. Listen, we're not for everyone, we understand that. But we're at least 10,000 times better than this piece of crap show starring a nobody named Scott Rizzuto. This St. Louis morning drive radio show turned podcast is a dud. Jen from the Jingles Department joins us to explain how this show was so bad that she started to like it. Karl disagrees. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep69 - WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

WATP takes a break from punching down and reviews a podcast you may have heard of and possibly heard. WTF with Marc Maron is a good show... but it could be better. Chris joins the show to agree with Karl on every point and also make mouth noises. Still not convinced you should listen to this episode? Here's a selling point, it's way funnier than WTF. Granted, that's not hard to do. Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep68 - Podcasts Are Wonderful

Vinnie Paulino joins the show this week to discuss a podcast that reviews other podcasts. It's pretty freakin' meta. The premise alone really puts the Shun in Inception. Unfortunately, Podcasts Are Wonderful doesn't really execute on their claim. Turns out to just be a couple of dummies unsuccessfully performing improv. And you know how much we love that. We also address recent reviews on our iTunes page which continue to be less than constructive. Apparently the fans of Rovers Morning Glory don...

Ep67 Speed Dial

It's a packed show this week as we analyze Speed Dial from the MTV Podcast Network as well as read through many recent reviews for WATP on iTunes. Wow, apparently we suck. Hard. Fun stuff. Joe, best known for looking similar to Andy, joins the show to review a podcast that's not too thrilled with "Whitey." Fortunately WATP is there to spread a message of unity and inclusiveness .

Ep66 The Weed Show

This week we review The Weed Show which is hosted by the zany Chris Iacono. And by zany I mean retarded. It's apparently a show that is made for stoners but we've never met a stoner who was interested in talking about lizard people. If you're the kind of person who likes their comedy podcasts to have zero jokes and a dash of anti-semitism than you're going to love The Weed Show. Learn more about your ad choices.
