5h ago2:29:38

2:29:38

This week we’re checking out some podcasts that are doing slightly better than WATP and Who’s Right on Patreon. This is the most petty podcast episode yet. Lil Stinkers is a show that features Mike Rainey, his unfunny friend, and a bean bag chair. The jokes are flying and they’re rhyming so it must be clever. Doug from Who’s Right (aka Mean Doug) i…

This week we’re recording at the Nobody Likes Onions studios in sunny Las Vegas.

2:23:22

This week we’re checking in on Stephen Baldwin’s podcast about bad movies. Well, it’s supposed to be about bad movies, but it’s actually just an awkward conversation with Hollywood celebrities who are at the point in their career where they have enough free time to talk to Stephen Baldwin.

This year we’re thankful for Cardiff calling out Chad Zumock after Chad tried to back out of a scheduled debate with the potato. Bill Burr had a guest on his show, the very successful and funny Ms. Pat, and Bill can’t relate to her on any level. I’m really starting to think that Bill is just tanking his show on purpose.
