Episode 101 - Rank the Beatles

We had a big topic we wanted to discuss this week, but we ended up spending most of the episode ranking the Beatles’ #1 singles. So we’ll get to that topic next episode. We do talk about a few other things, but I don’t remember which ones we talked about on episode vs. after the episode. Body hair comes up, if that’s your thing. Hopefully you’ll at least be happy we’re releasing on a regular schedule again. Original airdate January 27, 2023

Episode 100 - Dr. Drewmar / Joe Ronin

We are back at last! It turns out our long hiatus was at least partially for legitimate reasons. But a little time off has left us fresher than ever. Nath and Drew are here to recap the last couple of months and cover topics as wide-ranging as 90s Miami booty bass, Drew’s new haircut, Nelly’s inspirations for songs, the #1 hood bunny, Pan-Africanism, job interviews, Shaun King’s latest venture, and a whole lot more. Thanks for waiting. Original airdate January 20, 2023

Episode 99 - Happy Annislursary

We are finally back and one away from a hundred! This long-overdue episode took even longer to edit together, because I tried recording my part on my new laptop and I had brutal problems with my audio clipping. You’ll hear what I mean. Just appreciate the effort it took to put this episode together and make it listenable, and hopefully I’ve learned a valuable lesson about not trying to record quickly again. The episode is a little short because Drew had to go to work. But we cover a number of worthy topics this episode, including updates on our employment and places of work, our birthdays and anniversaries, new frontiers in bad parenting, other items in the news, and the best of gun range reviews. Stay tuned for our upcoming 100th episode; we’re going to do our best to do something special there.

Episode 98 - Jenkem Match

Welcome to another rare on-time episode. It’s our last one before Nath starts his new job, which (probably) means an even more intermittent recording schedule. In the meantime, enjoy some more of our song parodies, stuff Drew found on the internet, good and bad drugs, and counting fat stacks. Justin even contributes to this episode, by which I mean we read jokes he sent us over the past couple of months. Writing a longer description would mean listening to the episode, and I would rather get this out as soon as possible. Also, go celebrate Drew’s birthday with him on Monday if you’re in Houston.

Episode 97 - People Who Died

We’re finally back after eventful times both for us and the world. Lots of recent notable deaths, from Queen Elizabeth to Jean-Luc Godard to Ken Starr to Mikhail Gorbachev. And, sadly, one of Houston comedy’s own, Scotty Peterson, gone far too soon. We were going to use some of this episode as a tribute to him, but that quickly derailed into a bit about ranking Houston comics by how much the community would mourn them if they died. We’ll try again next week, hopefully with some guests who will have more great Scotty stories. Other topics covered include job interviews, strange encounters with the KKK, Rights and Society, Jerry Springer, The Kids in the Hall, and one poster’s ranking of the world’s religions. And, yes, the Jim Carroll Band song comes up. Original airdate September 16, 2022

Episode 96 - Naan Binary

We’re back at last! Nath and Drew cover a lot here: Ivana Trump, Buc-ee’s, the show Party Down, bakeries and who they hire and archaic medical terms, what one of our friends might look like if he had colon cancer, a fascinating story of an open micer’s filmed set, and more. Just check it out: We’re glad to be back and we hope you're glad we're back too. Original airdate August 29, 2022

Episode 95 - The Godfather Part II: The Wrath of Caan

Nath and Drew overcome various obstacles to bring you yet another fun episode! Among our topics: The films of Darren Aronofsky, the antics of Nancy Pelosi, the recent rash of “Italian mafioso actor” deaths, the Absolute Poker POTRIPPER scandal, Drew’s problems with chairs, and the best combination of pills to recover from dental work. Nath managed to get through the episode despite having a root canal in the morning, so send him love and/or money to show your appreciation. And because he had a losing session of poker that day. Original airdate August 5, 2022

Episode 94 - Pee Jay’s

We recorded this one while the World Series of Poker was going; Nath decided watching that was too important to pass up, if you were wondering why he interrupts, no-sells, or otherwise acts distracted during so many good bits this episode. But at least you can enjoy the sporadic commentary on the action. There’s actual comedy too, with talk about Jerry Lee Lewis, the Uvalde police department, someone called “Clock Lady,” the Drowning Lottery, the British, boy bands, robbing the Kwik-E-Mart, and the story that gives the episode its title-- plus a possibly even stranger story to follow it. Then we spend some time reading the funniest deleted tweets. I guess for the first minute Drew was only inaudible on our call and not his own recording. Also, I am a good editor, and Drew’s opinions about Malcolm X are entirely his own and do not represent the views of the other hosts. Original airdate July 22, 2022

Episode 93 - Dwide D. Inmyasshole

Topics covered this episode: The New York Mets and John Rocker, Richard Nixon and movies about him, America's fabulous queen generals, hot sandwiches and Subway, poker, and more. Justin shows up to make an appearance, and we get a little window into the Shower Boys' personal lives and drink recipes. Original airdate July 15, 2022

Episode 92 - Wedding Crashers 2: Still Crashin’ After All These Years

We never let being tired and having no ideas stop us from recording. We talk about an older age of the internet and its viral videos; favorite TV comedy from the 1990s, today; some comedy we’re writing; comedy films of the 21st century; stories from driver’s ed; other podcasts; and more, including our usual puns and songs. Also, further making fun of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And you might even get a wedding story this time, at last. Original airdate July 8, 2022
