Who Are These Guys?

Sniff This Boom Boom Stick Mar 10, 2025

Welcome back to Who Are These Guys? the only podcast where three guys with New York accents and questionable judgment explore the weirdest corners of the internet and life itself.

Today, JK, Jesse, and Kurt dive nose-first into the world of Boom Boom Sticks- because nothing says "health and wellness" like aggressively huffing essential oils on a podcast.

We also unpack the strangest hobby sports you’ve never heard of (hobby BMX? Hobby kayaking? Who's funding this madness?), get nostalgic over McDonald’s snack wraps, debate the ethics of gambling addiction, and, of course, discuss whether we should get custom molds of our junk (spoiler: some of us are more excited about this than others).

If that wasn’t enough, we touch on true crime, health insurance scams, and why throwing a stale-ass scone out of a moving car is way more fun than eating it.

Oh, and don’t forget- "Now yous can’t leave."

Swipe Right on This Podcast Feb 24, 2025

Welcome to Where Are The Guys?, the podcast where sarcasm is our love language, and bad takes are our bread and butter. This week, we’re tackling the modern dating scene with all the enthusiasm of a New Yorker giving directions to a tourist who just asked if Times Square is a good place to eat.

Swipe left, swipe right, accidentally super-like someone you meant to ghost—it’s all fair game in this episode. We talk dating apps, the decline of human interaction, and why men with manicures might just be the future. Plus, we get into the absolute chaos that is attraction, relationships, and whether Subaru is secretly running a targeted ad campaign for lesbians.

We also cover:

🔹 The death of organic dating—RIP bar meet-cutes

🔹 The science (or lack thereof) behind attraction

🔹 How to tell if someone is just using dating apps as an ego boost

🔹 Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend: true love or just really great Wi-Fi?

🔹 The worst dating app behaviors that should be punishable by law

Tinder bios are fake, hinge prompts are cringe, and let's be honest—everyone is lying. Welcome to dating in 2025.

If You Don’t Take Care of Yourself, Who Will? Feb 24, 2025

Welcome back to “Who Are These Guys”, where we say what everyone else is thinking but is too polite to say.

In this episode, Kurt, Jesse, and JK dive headfirst into self-care, or more accurately—Kurt’s complete and total lack of it. It’s a no-holds-barred intervention disguised as a podcast, packed with New York sarcasm, unsolicited life advice, and the kind of brutal honesty you only get from friends who love you (or at least tolerate you).

🔹 Should you take care of yourself, or just lean into the chaos?

🔹 Why do parents over-schedule their kids like they’re training for the Olympics?

🔹 How does smoking a pack a day while running on three hours of sleep not count as self-care?

🔹 Also… why are people still congregating in the kitchen at parties?

If you've ever had someone tell you, "Wow, you look tired," and resisted the urge to punch them in the face, this episode is for you.

Ever wonder why your love life is a mess? Maybe it's not you—maybe it's the damn romantic comedies you grew up watching.

This week, the guys take a deep dive into the world of rom-coms and how they may have set an entire generation up for failure. From unrealistic meet-cutes to grand gestures that would get you arrested in real life, we’re breaking it all down with that signature New York charm (read: sarcasm).

Oh, and somewhere along the way, we debate whether long hair makes you look fatter, reminisce about the golden age of MTV Unplugged. Yeah, it’s that kind of episode. Buckle up.

The Comet’s Coming For Earth: Plan Accordingly Jan 28, 2025

This week on Who Are These Guys, Jesse, JK & Kurt take you on a rollercoaster of existential dread and comedic relief in The Comet’s Coming for Earth: Plan Accordingly.

Because why wait for the apocalypse when you can laugh at it now? 🌍💥

We dive deep into the big questions:

What would YOU do if a comet was hurling towards Earth? (Hint: JK’s going full Mad Max while Jesse’s busy rationing his chocolate cake.)

Why does the "comet guy" exist, and why does he immediately need an NDA?

The psychology of chaos, end-of-the-world etiquette, and why the rich always seem to know something we don’t (looking at you, Bezos).

Oh, and the ongoing debate about whether the apocalypse is better with locusts or a meteor smash. 🦗☄️

Sprinkle in some debates about coffee trash, gym disasters, and rogue laundry habits, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for an episode that asks, “Why are we like this?”

Replacing Conflict with Cannabis Jan 20, 2025

Welcome to Weed and the Good Times, where Jesse and Kurt roll up topics that matter and light the match of debate (or maybe just good vibes). In this episode, we take a sharp turn from drunken brawls to cannabis camaraderie. Who needs fight juice when you’ve got happy juice?

This week, the duo is joined by a very special guest who spills the tea—and THC—on how cannabis is bridging gaps, solving conflicts, and creating connections we didn’t know we needed. From hilarious childhood fight spots outside pizza joints to conspiracies about why Big Pharma isn’t vibing with legalized weed, this episode has it all.

Jon spends his Friday night starring in a mob murder mystery parody which brings up a debate about what's the right amount of notes to put in your anniversary cards as well as a discussion on the greeting card industry overall.

We go into a deep discussion around what if we had our own cults and why is it that cults always lead back to sex and murder. A question about bucket lists goes nowhere except Kurt who kinda wants to go to Europe and a Pirates game. We wrap up talking about what everyone talks about when they are out with their friends and check in on Kurt's health.

Come join us every couple of weeks for more episodes of "Who Are These Guys?" 🫡

Coming For The Crown Mar 23, 2023

Welcome to The Lunchroom!!! We are back with another week of nonsense for everyone.

The guys open up with some movie talk with a brief recap of The Oscars before coming straight for the conspiracy theory that all movies and entertainment are catered to do well in China.The hot topic of the episode is the royal family and how hard they have it being as famous as they are. Prince Harry, Princess Dianna, Queen Elizabeth and the whole English royal crew aren't safe from Kevin and Jesse's breakdown before Jon breaks out Meghan Markle's nudes and breaks the tension.

Kevin's son's birthday is coming up and he's stressing about the part. Did he invite the right amount of kids from school? How much is it going to cost? Kurt reveals he never had a proper birthday. One thing they know for sure is that no chicken pox's will be spread at the party.

Jesse's kids are going through changes. They are starting to take interest in the opposite sex, sleeping without any shirts on, and watching teenage shows. Kurt's kid sleeps completely nude. Kevin's kids are comparing manhood with each other.

Kevin reminisces about the first steakhouse he ever visited and tells story about how his friend's mom used to be a waitress there. A conversation about the reality that more and more dads and moms are making money on sites like OnlyFans. What are those conversations with their kids going to be like.

For the second week in a row, god enters the conversation. This time the guys discuss the taboo of sex as it relates to religion. Finally we finish up with the difficult decisions that have to be had with our kids and the reality that there's more ways for kids to lose their sense of innocence through more different forms of media than there have ever been.

Take Me To Church Mar 16, 2023

Welcome to The Lunchroom!!!

Kevin opens with an in-depth discussion about Kurt's drinking habits and Kurt shares some tips on how to drink like an adult. It's quickly revealed that the results from Kurt's latest physical has come back and they were not good. His first sacrifices... Red Bull and he's signed up for Planet Fitness. The makeover is coming.

Jesse's having a tough time. In addition to his shoulder surgery he now has unbearable sores in his mouth and is lashing out at the staff. The positive of his current mood is he's been writing more deep music tracks.

The guys discuss how weird it is that some people enjoy and even fall asleep during tattoo sessions. Kevin recalls the time he got inked on his nipples. His sister has a satanic tattoo that has the rest of the family questioning her faith.

Speaking of faith, we go into a deep discussion about our individual beliefs. Father Kevin holds court over the rest of the heathens of The Lunchroom. Jesse shares his past experiences with the church and why he has a bad taste in his mouth. Make the sign of the cross.

Jesse's first song from his new musical project "The War on Fear" dropped on Friday 3.10. For this religious episode of The Lunchroom the song is aptly titled, "If I Was A God". Check it out now on Napster, Limewire, and all other platforms at this link - https://linktr.ee/waronfear

The guys discuss how the social media community knows them as certain types of creators and doesn't realize they all have other creative endeavors. For the most part everyone is supportive and thoughtful but you always have to be aware of the trolls. The world of comedy and creativity are changing at a pace the world has never seen before. Chart your own path.

In true Lunchroom fashion the guys there are strong differences of opinions as they discuss the recent comedy special from Chris Rock. Some of us love how he set up the finale of him going after Will Smith and Jada. Others felt like he was disconnected and should have been better considering how long he had to prepare for the set. Once again we pay homage to the goat, Dave Chappelle 🐐

See you all next week!!!

Happy International Women's Day Mar 09, 2023

Welcome to The Lunchroom!!!

Jesse opens up coming straight for Kurt and the guys discuss the eating habits of their kids before being interrupted by drums from the music studio. The crew ponder how it's possible that the guys from 2 Bears 1 Cave can get as close to Adriana Chechick without their wives killing them.

Kevin comes out and professes his desire to golf and drive an F-1 vehicle based on a few shows he watched on Netflix. Jesse professes his distain for the merging of hip-hop culture and terrible fashion like the new astro boots craze.

Kevin's constant drinking every week has broken Jesse in his crippled stage and results in him calling out for a bottle of bourbon. Jon shares his love for all of the cuisine from 7-11. Fox 5 news in New York reached out to Kevin to appear on the Friday night news. The rest of the guys are curious about who is going to be interviewing him and scope out the scene.

A conversation about female comedians breaks out and we find out a lot. Jesse thinks Nikki Glaser is too hot to be funny. Kevin doesn't know who she is and thought Bill Cosby was hot. Kurt's favorite female comedians are Gilda Radner and Lisa Lamponelli.

Jon had an interesting afternoon at the coffee shop where he was surprised by a burly female construction worker who bent over to pick her keys up and revealed a pink thong. The great folks from Angry Duck Sauce stopped by this past weekend to experience the fun factory. If you are interested in a tour please reach directly out to Jesse through his DM's and buy some duck sauce from them at the link below

The Lunchroom MD is back this week and we discuss the pros and cons of acid reflux medication. Kevin can't say the word Churro but he knows they aren't from Mexico. The crew brings it home with a discussion about road head.

See you all next week!!!

What's Your Morning Routine? Mar 02, 2023

Welcome to The Lunchroom!!! Jesse is out of surgery and he's back without a pain pill addiction but messed up from having too many rainbow cookies.

The show opens with the guys reaction to a negative one star review of the podcast on Apple. Everyone is fired up and coming for this unnamed reviewer. He's confused with where we are from and pegs us as being from Staten Island. The guys are united in their hatred for New York's forgotten borough.

Jon is curious about how the belt systems in karate and jiu-jitsu work. Kevin shares his morning routine which leads to a deep dive into the mysteries of morning wood. Kurt's morning routine involves getting a Brazilian from an Indian guy. Kurt had a party that involved beer and gambling but didn't think to invite Kevin.

Kevin tries to help Jesse with advice on how to operate with only one hand. From driving to wiping to alone time he's got all the answers. We discover that driving with a sling is technically illegal. Jesse pukes into the microphone.

Kurt and Kevin are all up on the recent train derailments and alien invasions. Jon uncovers that the people of England are using getting abducted by aliens as an excuse to get out of work. Kevin's ready for his abduction and for the aliens to experiment on giving him a larger piece of manhood.

We shame more of our Patreon members into renewing their subscriptions and not pay their rent. The guys ponder the concept of having sexual relations on a train or on a plane.

Kevin is preparing for his show in Boston and breaks down the rest of the cities he's visiting over the next few months. We determine wether or not Kurt is a Miami guy.

See you all next week!!!

💋 Patreon - https://patreon.com/thelunchroom

Welcome to a Sunday morning edition of The Lunchroom!!!

With Jesse's impending shoulder surgery the guys are forced to film on the weekend and the vibes are just different. Kurt was busy at a dance recital and Kevin opens up discussing why everyone is worried about Post Malone.

Jesse shares his love for The Wolf of Wall Street and all the crazy characters. Kevin opens up about his favorite parts and how Jordan Belfort reminds him of his cousin Danny. The guys discuss how intense that 80's-90's wall street culture changed the world and resulted in a lot of people being taken advantage of.

Kevin has been working on hard on his subscription vlog(go subscribe!) on his Only Raising Kings instagram and talks about his frustration with getting a video taken down for a song playing in the background in his car. With Kurt not in the room we take the opportunity to talk shit about him and his editing skills.

Jesse is getting ready(freaking out) for surgery and Kevin shares tips on how to prepare and recover properly. Jon has a run in with the law while trying to jump start his car that results in a funny story that's borderline racist. It all leads to a discussion about nail saloons, massage parlors, and milking.

We spend the remainder of the episode giving our reviews of what we've been watching including Gunther's Millions, You, Eat The Rich, Smoke Box and The Last Of Us. The guys 100% agree on the movie You People.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It Feb 16, 2023

💋 Patreon - https://patreon.com/thelunchroom

Welcome to another week here in The Lunchroom!!! And weeeee are backkkkkk!!!!

The guys jump right into it and discuss the relationship between gay people, transgender people, and kids who want identify as cats. Kevin breaks down how celebrities and comedians can become out of touch as they get more famous with what regular people can relate and respond to.

Kurt fills us in on everything he knows about killing prostitutes and dropping them off by the beaches on the south shore of Long Island. He knows an odd amount of useful information related to the Gilgo Beach hooker murders.

Kevin declares his hatred for the beach and Jesse declares he can only tolerate the beach from the middle of the ocean on his yacht as he ridicules the civilians on the shore. Jon reminisces about the time they went out on Jesse's boat and it immediately died in the bay only to be saved by another fellow drunk boater.

The infamous rogue weather balloon from that big country on the other side of the wold that was making its way across the county before being shot down created a bunch of memes and sparks a discussion about politics and TikTok for the crew.

Jon changed his headlight the past week which qualifies as the manliest thing he's done in a long time. The guys discuss the things they do that are manly or how they "call the guy" to get those things done.

Kevin & Jesse discuss their theoretical preparedness for the end of the world. Jesse would instantly start killing people and Kevin has all of the chemicals needed to make sure his human waste is taken care of. In the end all you'll need is a crew, leadership skills, and an assault rifle.

Jesse and Jon school Kevin on the new HBO show "The Last Of Us" and then we're back to doomsday prepping. Kevin shares his plan with an assembled crew of psychos. Jon puts the thought in his head that his crew might be plotting against him.

We close out with learnings from this years Grammys. Sam Smith was the devil. Harry Styles wore some weird shit. All of the clothes were crazy. Fat Joe is not as fat anymore. Kurt doesn't know who Bad Bunny is.

The show closes out with our favorite slang terms for breasts. See you all next week!!!

Kevin shares his midnight snack of choice which leads to a discussion of our sleep patterns & morning routines.

Is there anything worse than a noisy house filled with dogs and kids? What's worse is when kids are home sick or they puke at school with :15 minutes left in the day like Kurts. The guys discuss having additional kids and what's the right number of kids to have. For Jon that number is zero.

Jon shares excerpt from Will Smith's book where he explains the level of his importance of the people in his life.

The crew discuss chain restaurants and the perception of which ones are nicer than the others. The Outback vs. Applebee's vs. Ruth's Chris. Kurt hates Italian food and The Olive Garden.

Jesse shares the play by play of his latest injury - a separated shoulder. Jon adds in his perspective as he watched from the sidelines and cracked jokes with the EMTs. Kevin, shockingly, was genuinely concerned about Jesse but eventually comes around to making fun of him - STAY TUNED FOR THE END TO SEE JESSE'S VIDEO FROM THE HOSPITAL BED.

We put a bow on Dana White's domestic abuse situation and share some of the responses we received in our comments and DMs. They weren't what we expected. Jon still hates Dana White and thinks the slap was a publicity stunt to promote his new slap boxing venture.

Kevin's son gets upset at the thought of his parents dying and they try to figure out where these thoughts are coming from. Jesse and Kurt's kids are making inappropriate art. Jon still has no kids and enjoys the conversation judging from the sidelines.

The Lunchroom on Patreon - https://patreon.com/thelunchroom

We open by discussing Dana White’s domestic abuse viral video from New Year’s in Cabo. If it’s happening in public do you think it’s happening in private? The conversation turns to the percentage of domestic abuse cases are the man being physically abused by the woman 🥊

We learn that Jesse didn’t spend the prime years of his life watching disturbing internet videos like Kevin and the rest of the guys 🎸

Kevin recaps his New Year’s Eve and surprise birthday party at his cousin’s house. The crew discuss how they handle making small talk with their neighbors. Somehow that turns into a chat about mail order brides, flesh lights, VR adult content, and rubber dolls 🤷‍♂️

The age old question comes up if you catch your wife having fun with a robot is it cheating? Is it cheating if the robot looks like you and has the same name? More talk about the Patreon that recently launched and just how far can we take it on there. 🤖

Jesse skips out on jury duty and the guys share their tips on getting out of it with the audience. Kurt, however, is actively petitioning to be lead juror because his favorite show is Law & Order 👩🏻‍⚖️

Kevin & Jesse end the show with their weird ticks, crazy eyes and mouth noises 👀💋

I'm Definitely Gonna Regret This Apr 18, 2022

Welcome to The Lunchroom! Kevin has waited a long time to be able to sit down in front of a microphone and chop it up for a couple of hours. All it took was a couple of middle aged white men(Jesse & Jon of Viola Media) with a studio, a little bit of money, and a soft spot for funny Colombians to make it happen. In the first episode the crew touch on dick/tit pics, training dogs that don't want to be trained, and the one time Kevin accidentally grabbed his mom's dildo. We hope you'll join us every week in The Lunchroom for more comedy and realness!
