Ep687 - Lil Stinkers and The Muckrake Political Podcast 2:29:38

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…

We’ve been covering Bill Burr’s podcast since his meltdowns following the backlash from the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Adam Busch and Christian Bladt went to see Bill perform standup comedy last week and Adam had an epiphany. He explains why Bill’s podcast is so pedestrian and unfunny. Christian joins us with a notebook full of notes. Lucy Tightbox is…

2:00:16

This week we’re recording at the Nobody Likes Onions studios in sunny Las Vegas. We start off with Opie who is in a very bad mood because Christmas costs money and Opie doesn’t appear to have any cash on hand. But Ron the Waiter more than makes up for it by being in an amazing mood in anticipation of Ronakuh - the livestream where he’ll get all of …

We start off this week checking out Jerry Seinfeld on We Might Be Drunk with Mark Normand and Sam Morril.

Aaron Imholte from Steel Toe missed the goal by $140 on Tuesday and tried to act like he wasn’t upset about it. On Wednesday’s show we …

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. Doug from Good Times Great Movies is appalled that Michael …

Ep682 - Opie’s New Cohost, Bill Burr, Brendan Schaub, StutJo 2:46:15

20d ago2:46:15

2:46:15

After some dumb Dabbleverse drama about KarmicX and Felicia Gillespie breaking up, we check in on the latest from Bill Burr. It’s amazing that as most of his fanbase turns on him and his numbers dwindle, he’s discovered the secret of life. Ol’ enlightened Billy is now struggling with how to be both happy and funny. Spoiler - he’s neither. On the Fi…

Analytic or Continental philosophy | Christoph Schuringa, Genia Schönbaumsfeld, Babette Babich 49:07

22d ago49:07

49:07

The future of European thought What is analytic philosophy and what is continental philosophy? And, perhaps most importantly, does this distinction make any sense? The division between these two branches has divided Western philosophy for decades now, with the Anglo-Saxon world largely associated with the analytical school, and the European contine…

3:22:02

We start the show off watching the latest video of Kevin Brennan proving he’s a senile old man who thinks he’s always hosting his show. He got pulled over by the police while riding his bicycle! That’s not easy to do. We recently watched Chad Zumock livestream from outside of Mersh’s house. It turns out Quadfather (Derek) from the BYB Podcast calle…

Language shapes how we think, remember, and reason. But does it help us to uncover the fundamental nature of reality? Join the author of Language vs. Reality and linguistic anthropologist, Nick Enfield, as he explores why language excels at persuasion but falters at faithfully representing reality.

Consciousness and psychedelics: In conversation with Rupert Sheldrake 31:33

Philosophers cannot stop talking about consciousness - what are its limits? What is it made of? What does it allow us? This podcast is part of that conversation, but from a more experimental perspective. Join biologist and researcher Rupert Sheldrake as he discusses consciousness with philosopher Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes from the lens of psychedelics.…

Ep678 - Opie’s Mom Died, Bill Burr, StutJo, Chad v Cardiff, Tom Myers 2:54:22

2:54:22

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. Adam Busch shares some of Bi…

2:34:10

Ashley Hesseltine and Rayna Greenberg host a show that sounds like it’s about over-eating but it’s actually about hooking up with guys, their shoes, and liberal politics.

2:38:14

This week we’re starting off with a very quick interview of the founder of wikipedia, Jimmy Wales. Chris D’Elia was hosting his solo podcast and trying to react to videos he found (or someone found) on the internet. He’s absolutely terrible at podcasting and CANNOT come up with anything funny or interesting to say while watching robots and teens gi…

1:59:01

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk are bored or something because they started a podcast that doesn’t have any purpose or direction. I guess these guys are used to people telling them that they’re hilarious or something. They were both on Firefly, a show that only lasted one season 23 years ago. But don’t worry, that kinda has nothing to do with anythin…

3:13:32

After a brief mention of Stephanie Miller’s embarrassing worship of a politician Jasmine Crockett, we respond to Aaron Imholte’s victory lap. Steel Toe decided he “won the war” after the viewers of This Little Piggy turned on me following an ill-advised interview with Aaron’s friend from jail, Mikey. Of course Aaron couldn’t help but over-play his …

47:58

Over the past decades, neuroscience has blossomed, positioning itself as a kind of master discipline over everything else. For who understands the brain surely understands all of human activity and creation? Or not? Neuroscience's reach has extended past its scientific remit and into the world of philosophy and its major questions. What is a human?…

Amy Poehler has a very popular podcast, called Good Hang, where she interviews a celebrity friend of hers. It’s become such a hit that she decided to do a live show in a theater. Of course, she did live television for years, so this should be easy for her. There’s no way she’ll be nervous and screw this up. Eric Zane joins us to watch Amy stammer a…

This week we’re starting off with an update on Jerry Banfield and his new career. Steel Toe is walking back his take on jail being the greatest week of his life. It appears no one believed him and he learned that not everything can be “Another Win For the Toe.” It’ll be interesting to see how Aaron reacts once he learns that Moody and I interviewed…

In search of nothing | David Deutsch, Amanda Gefter, Lee Smolin 1:00:17

2M ago1:00:17

1:00:17

What is nothing? Can it be defined, either philosophically or scientifically? Or will the exploration of nothing bring, ultimately, to nothing? The philosophical exploration of nothingness is an ancient one, from the mysterious number zero through theological understandings of the absence of God right to modern physics and ideas of the void. Join l…

Aaron Imholte was back on his show after a week in Stearns County jail. His ability to spin negative experiences in his life into positive moments is insane. Aaron taught the inmates how to have fun, was recognized by every jail employee, and discovered the secret to living a fulfilled life. We've been having fun analyzing Aaron for a while but ser…

The importance of giving up | Adam Phillips 27:14

2M ago27:14

Einstein was called “slow” at school, J. K. Rowling collected a dozen rejections, and Walt Disney was once fired for “lacking imagination.” We love stories of perseverance—but what’s the cost of never letting go? In this conversation, psychoanalyst Adam Phillips argues that our obsession with endurance can have hidden, corrosive effects. He invites…

We have an explosive episode where Opie is forced by Ron the Waiter to confront reality for the first time. But first, Keanu gets called out for scrolling through her mom’s phone without permission. Keanu really has zero regard for people’s private information. KarmicX is completely out of things to do on his show but thankfully Adam is in his chat…

47:13

Hugely influential in the latter decades of the 20th century, postmodernism transformed many academic disciplines and culture at large. Associated with an attack on objective truth and the uniqueness of meaning, it called into question the whole edifice of knowledge which Western culture had previously glorified. But it left many lost, and in the w…

We start things off in Austin, TX where Brendan Schaub has been let down by his son’s performance on the baseball diamond. Remember when I said it’s not smart for Bapa to rely on his nine year-old’s athletic achievements to justify moving the entire family to Texas? Fly on the Wall had Charlie Sheen on and Emilio Estevez was kind of on the show, to…
