"Maps" w/ Emmy Blotnik Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

(To the tune of "Are Your Ready For Some Football") Are you ready for some podcasting? Today notable genius Emmy Blotnick joins us to have a conversation that many are calling the superbowl of comedy podcasting. She comes prepared with a robust list of topics but we ultimately settle on the straightest topic of all: Maps. Why are they there? How do you use them? And what is their relationship to magnets (if any)? Many questions are raised, few are answered. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Jojo Millennial!

"Homoeroticism" w/ Sabrina Wu Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

In this week's heavily censored episode, we're going back to our roots with some good old-fashioned THEORIZING.

Plus: What are our "forbidden questions"? Why is our SICK society obsessed with the concept of leadership? What is the shelf life of a slay? And finally: Sabrina introduces a new LGBTQ+ product that is sure to make a splash.

"Brass Instruments" w/ Jeff Hiller Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

Today we are star struck for all the wrong reasons with esteemed guest Jeff Hiller. But it isn't just Jeff's MTV-based pranking past that causes controversy, but also the fact that brass instruments are still being spread through school music departments all across this great nation. That's right, blowing into a horn may seem gay, but it's actually not and we will explain why. Plus, George pushes the boundaries of how vague one can be with a description, Sam has his interview skills tested, and Jeff becomes the first guest to be forced to plug their projects. That's herstory, sweetheart!
