Ep522 - That DAM Podcast

This week we’re checking out another amateur show with three guys who really crack each other up. Whether they’re pretending to be newscasters or conspiracy theorists, one thing remains the same - they’re Zany with a capital Zzzzz. Producer Chris joins us to discuss their amazing impressions and foley work. Then we get caught up on the Steel Toe drama that keeps getting crazier. Aaron Imholte is going on every show and spilling the tea on his sex life with Mrs. Rekieta and his wife’s drug use, b...

Ep521 - Ray Lytle's Morning Disaster

This week we found a show that you can’t believe exists. These are all adults doing this almost everyday on Facebook live. Fat midwesterners with no lives are rarely interesting to listen to but add in that they’re wildly dumb and witless. Doug from Good Times Great Movies joins us to point out that Shit Stain Steve is fascinating. After we hear just a quick example of how crazy Terrence Howard was on Joe Rogan, Erik Nagel joins us to talk about Nick Rekieta’s legal issues. Alex Stein was talkin...

Ep520 - The Mario Bosco Show

This week we take another look at Mario Bosco’s new podcast where he has uncomfortable conversations with people who are only famous if you’re addicted to Instagram. For some reason Mario, the 51 year old virgin, decides to talk about sex with his guests even though he knows nothing about it. And Erma decides to argue with trolls. Good luck with that. Bryan Johnson and Lucy Tightbox both join us to laugh at a little person who we’d all feel bad for if he weren’t so dumb. Also, it’s Helga’s 78th ...

Ep519 - Go With The Flow

We found another podcast where a guy who can barely talk or carry a conversation has decided he should be the host of his own show. His guests include people like his own mother and some guy who has two YouTube channels who also can’t talk. Can we all agree that “tell everyone about yourself” is not a good way to start an interview? Andy Q. Public joins us to discuss how if you grind hard enough you can make as much as $800 in a week. Cringe of the week is tripled this episode and it’s very like...

Ep518 - Weaponized

This week we’re digging into a topic that I find interesting - Ufology. George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell have been following and reporting on UFOs for many years and have a deep knowledge on the subject. Unfortunately, we’re in a rough period for this subject as the US government has once again dismissed any evidence of UAPs or government programs to study these events. Sad trombone. Ray DeVito joins the show to discuss the podcast that he listened to a little bit of and “got the gist” of. Then I...

Minisode - Steel Toe Divorce

I did a rare Tuesday live show on YouTube to discuss Aaron Imholte from the Steel Toe Morning Show announcing his divorce from former co-host April. While Chad Zumock takes a victory lap for predicting this would happen, I think it might be a premature celebration. Before I get into my take on Aaron's bizarre behavior lately, we check in on Stuttering John's NPD on full display. When he's not bragging about saving lives, he's showing off his ability to tune his guitar with a guitar tuner and pla...

Ep517 - ONLINE ADVICE SHOW

Today’s episode features more free advice for people. Unlike Late Night Love, there are real people calling into the show. Also, the advice is pretty good. Who knew an obese, human version of Pepe the Frog could be so knowledgable. Tookie joins the show to discuss where girls cum from. Then we do a deep dive on Mario Bosco. He’s an Italian little person who has no business hosting a show and his sidekick is an obnoxious obese woman. Also, Opie must be using AI to make video clips because they su...

Ep516 - Late Night Love

I don’t know how our listeners are finding these show but we’ve stumbled upon another doozy. Jazz and Lubby host an advice show out of Sacramento with some of the worst advice I’ve ever heard. I couldn’t imagine two people who are less equipped to host any type of show. Pat Dixon joins the show to help figure out if Lubby just shot up or is in a k-hole. Then we hear a fantastic new song from Tony Muskrat about Lisa Boswell and check in on our favorite trans duo out of Connecticut. Helga Mann can...

Ep515 - SmartLess

SmartLess is one of the most popular podcasts in the world. It’s safe, it’s silly, and it stars actors we all know. For the most part it’s a harmless show that incorporates their famous friends for a vapid conversation about nothing. This week they had a big get - Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Get ready for the most over-the-top ball washing you’ve ever heard. Andy Q Public joins the show to help explain why politicians don’t deserve our praise. Then we check in on That Reality Show...

Ep514 - Pure Genuine & That Reality Show

This week we’re presenting a double feature with a couple of our current favorites. First we check in on Helga Mann and Lisa Boswell, a show that blew up this week and they’re celebrating their newfound fame. We learn a lot about Lisa’s background and it’s way crazier than I could have imagined. Then we check in on Frenchie who dropped the third installment of Pure Genuine starring the one and only Rio, the bearded lady. This is one of the most uncomfortable conversations I’ve ever heard. Patric...

Ep513 - That Reality Show

This week’s discovery still has me baffled. Lisa Boswell is the greatest talk show sidekick I’ve ever seen. I want to know way more about these elderly trans women who don’t pay taxes and hate Trump. And I have a feeling we’ll be checking in on them in the near future. Vinnie Paulino joins us to review this Bizarro World version of Wayne’s World. After we have way too much fun with Lisa and Helga, we watch Ray DeVito reminisce about old MTV VJs on BYB and listen to Luis J Gomez recount the time ...

Ep512 - Chris D'Elia Sucks

This week we’re doing a deep dive on Chris D’Elia’s overinflated ego and underdeveloped act. He lives a weird life as a victim after being outed as a predator. This is not an easy thing to pull off but somehow Chris has done it. We analyze his bad podcasting as well as his terrible acting when he’s interviewed about his past transgressions. Andy Q Public and Lucy Tightbox join us to listen to Chris talk about sex like he’s just a normal guy who wasn’t running a sex cult. Then we check in on Erik...

Ep511 - The Real Brady Bros

This week we’re checking in on Greg and Peter Brady’s podcast. You’ll never believe what these two are talking about… the Brady Bunch! Imagine doing something as a child and then talking about it and reliving it for the rest of your life. Oh, and I should mention, the thing you did as a child is embarrassing. Pat Oates joins us this week to try to figure out who would want to listen to recaps of episodes that came out over 50 years ago. Then we get important reporting from the Meidas Touch Broth...

Ep510 - Spirituality Podcasts

This week we’re checking in on the silliest podcasts in the Spirituality category. We have two ridiculous podcasters going head-to-head - Nicky Alan vs. Frenchie Hawna. Nicky is a British con artist who takes advantage of people who are desperate for hope. Frenchie is the worst communicator in the history of podcasting. Go to our Patreon to vote for who brought the worst podcast this week. After we learn about our high frequency vibrations and colored jeans, we check in on Kevin Brennan who’s no...

Ep509 - Brilliant Idiots

Andrew Schulz and Charlamagne tha God seem like an unlikely duo and then you listen to how they work with each other. Wow, the chemistry is non-existent. These two guys seem like they just met and they really want to impress each other. And boy oh boy does Andrew think Andrew is funny! Doug from Good Times Great Movies joins us to try to figure out what words Charlamagne is trying to use. Then Bobby Lee is dumb and Opie has a hot take about record stores. After that we got a tip that our old nem...

Ep508 - The Level 1 Podcast

The Level 1 Podcast is a show hosted by one of the most clowned streamers in the history of podcasting. DarkSydePhil plays and reviews video games, the only problem is he’s terrible at doing both of those things. Oh, and he’s terrible at a lot of other things, too, like knowing when his web cam is turned on. Lucy Tightbox and Andy Q. Public try to figure out why this guy has a podcast and who would listen to it. Then we get an update on Elisa Jordana who’s having quite the week. Kevin Brennan wa...

Ep507 - The X Podcast

This week we’re checking in on Alessia who seems to be a shallow and vapid bimbo talking about how to use men but who knows, maybe I’m missing something. When she’s not talking about the gifts that she gets from men she has her gay friend on to talk about the gifts that he gets from men. So there’s really something for everybody. Blind Mike joins the show this week to figure out if Alessia knows what words mean. Then we get a quick update on Frenchie from Pure Genuine and the type of pants she w...

Ep506 - Conspiracy Theory Podcasts

This week we’re competing to find the worst conspiracy theory podcasts. These types of podcasts are inherently interesting, you really have to suck at podcasting to be boring when discussing conspiracy theories. Fortunately we were able to find a couple of shows that stink. Lucy and I start things off with the Shane Dawson Podcast. Shane is a famous YouTuber who has done everything he can to ruin his career, right down to the terrible show he’s currently doing. Andy and Chris bring in future fam...

Ep505 - PURE GENUINE

We get a lot of suggestions for podcasts to review and some of these… I just don’t know how you find them. This week we’re checking in with Frenchie Hawna, a podcaster who is authentic and real and genuine. I say it’s about time! We might have to keep an eye on Frenchie to see how things progress because after all, this is only episode number 1. We’re joined by Earl David Reed who is lucky he doesn’t have to drink every time Frenchie says “yes” and “you guys.” But you do! After a Cringe of the W...

Ep504 - WATP and ROTC Live Crossover

We did it, we’re doing it. We had a live show in Largo, FL last night. We talked about Brendan Schaub, Tom Myers, Queer Kid Stuff, Stuttering John, Opie, Ray DeVito, a crazy cop cam, and some other stuff, too. We were joined by Royce and Mersh, Vinnie Paulino, TopLobsta, Andy Q. Public, Jenny Jingles, Tookie, Cardiff Electric, Doctor Steve, Lucy Tightbox, Joey C, Monique from RG, and Andrea Brower. Thanks to everyone who came out, we had a blast with you all! Tickets to the Vegas shows May 31st ...

Ep503 - Self-Help Podcasts

This week we’re competing to find the worst podcast in the self-help category. Karl and Andy bring in Baseem who teaches guys how to be better at being guys, especially when it comes to being guys being with girls. Then Chris and Lucy present This Is Suave, a self-help show that is trying to teach themselves how to be better. Vote for who brought the worst podcast on our Patreon page. After an amazing and fierce competition, we’re checking out HoneyDew Podcast with Bert Kreischer who’s always la...

Ep502 - Disney Assembled

This week we’re checking in on a father and daughter who are obsessed with all things Disney. I don’t know what the father is going to do when she goes off to college and he’s forced to walk around Disneyland by himself. I’m pretty sure the park has people whose only job is to watch out for guys like this. Erik Nagel and Bryan Johnson both join the show to offer their unique perspectives on why an 18 year old girl would spend so much time making content about Disney with her father. After that, ...

Ep501 - Annie Leaves Trash Tuesday

This week we’re still recovering from episode 500 but the show must go on! Trash Tuesday is a show we’ve reviewed before but we’re revisiting it because Annie Lederman is leaving the show. They just said their last goodbyes this week and there’s a lot of speculation about the real reason for the break up. I have my theories and Lucy has an interesting take I haven’t seen anywhere else. Andy and Lucy are both on the show to discuss pregnant women making it all about them all the time. After baby ...

Ep500 - Mike O'Meara, Boogered Up, Armchair Expert

It’s our 500th episode and we’re celebrating with some of our least favorite podcasts from the first 499. We start with the Mike O’Meara Show featuring guys who were on the Don and Mike Show which I think was good back in the day. Then we look at the Boogered Up podcast featuring my favorite real-life Beavis - Spaz Kid. Also, Dax Shepard has been hosting a terrible podcast for years and we’ve been letting him get away with it. We’re joined by Vinnie Paulino, Andy Q. Public, and Kindy to get thin...

Ep499 - Comedy Podcasts

This week we’re back to the competition format but with some new parameters. Chris and Karl team up to present the worst comedy podcast they could find - Adult Babies Show. Three truckers sit around and periodically crack up over nothing. Then Lucy and Andy team up to present Cannabis Coffee Hour starring LCS reject Rob Cantrell. Both of these shows have over 250 episodes despite having zero listeners. Once we get past a lot of cringe white boy rap, we get a hot take from Opie about the hot topi...

Ep498 - Peripheries Podcast

This week we’re checking in on Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who is still trying to convince everyone that she’s a black woman. She loves talking about her “identity” which is probably the main topic she should avoid. And for a woman obsessed with being black, it’s pretty odd that she thinks race is a social construct. Christian Bladt stepped in at the last minute and was probably the first guest who did more prep than I did. We talked about Kevin Brennan’s fire alarm show, Scorch’s reboot of ...

Ep497 - My Wife Hates Me (revisited)

We’re taking a week off from the competition format to revisit Rich Vos and Bonnie McFarlane’s show. They’ve been doing this show for about a decade, you would think that naturally it would evolve. Nope. It’s exactly the same. These two record one show per week and do zero prep, bring zero energy, and execute zero jokes. I hope they’re playing characters and aren’t just the awful people they appear to be for 45 minutes a week. Lucy Tightbox and Andy Q. Public both join the show to figure out whi...

Ep496 - Brendan Schaub - Tune Town, Golden Hour, TFATK

This week we're doing a deep dive into the world of Brendan Schaub. We check out the latest episodes of Tune Town, The Golden Hour, and the Fighter and the Kid. Tune Town is a weird, highly produced show about cars because that’s Brendan’s new hobby. He’s a gearhead who doesn’t know anything about cars. Of course the Golden Hour is always a brutal watch as Erik Griffin and Chris D’Elia both pretend to be interesting. And finally TFATK did their first ever live show in Austin and it was embarrass...

Ep495 - TV Review Podcasts

This week we’re looking at the TV Review category to find out what shows are reviewing what shows. I start with a brony, Star Strike, reviewing the final season of My Little Pony G5 - Make Your Mark. Then Andy is checking out Tom Sandoval from Vanderpump Rules who has teamed up with Jack Osbourne. That’s not even fair. Lucy comes in hot with Let’s Watch TV, a show where comedian Joe Dombrowski has zero chemistry with his mother. Vote for who had the most entertaining presentation on our Patreon ...

Ep494 - The Joe Matarese Show

This week we’re checking out a podcast that’s long overdue, the Joe Matarese Show. When he rebooted his podcast a few months ago he was ready to try something different. Unfortunately, it turned quickly into every other show but way worse as Joe painfully interviews nobodies. He might be the worst interviewer of all time. I’m not sure what Joe might be good at, but it’s definitely not this. Eric Zane joins the show and is tortured with the most mundane Italian stereotype jokes ever told. After a...
