04/21/25 • 68 min
Take a wild ride through the chaotic minds of John and Jay as they navigate everything from indie horror films to metal music breakdowns in this unfiltered exploration of pop culture's strangest corners.
The hosts kick off with an enthusiastic analysis of "Finley," a short horror film featuring a hilariously incompetent killer puppet who struggles to murder his victims until they threaten his beloved cat. "I wanted more of this," John declares, praising the puppet's emotional expressiveness while lamenting the short's brevity. Their mutual excitement for this hidden gem reveals their appreciation for unique, creative approaches to familiar horror tropes.
When the conversation shifts to music, prepare for an authentic listening party as the duo introduces each other to metal bands like Wage War and Dead by April. Their genuine reactions—complete with air drumming and spontaneous commentary on pitch harmonics and electronic elements—create an intimate experience that feels like discovering new music with friends. John's confession about screaming along to metal songs in the shower adds a relatable, humorous dimension to their musical exploration.
Television and film recommendations round out the episode, with particular enthusiasm for "AP Bio," starring Glenn Howerton as a disgraced Harvard professor teaching in Toledo. "Dude, the show is so good," John insists, highlighting the similarities between Howerton's character and his iconic role as Dennis Reynolds in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." This leads to a highlight reel of Dennis's most unhinged moments, including his famous Range Rover meltdown.

Episode 167: The Trials and Tribulations of an Aspiring Rapper Named Skiddles.
Ever wondered what happens when a painfully awkward aspiring rapper named Skiddles visits a comedy podcast? Prepare yourself for one of our most bizarre and hilarious episodes yet.
Skiddles—who claims to be "from the depths of hell" but is actually from northeastern Ohio—joins us in studio to showcase his questionable freestyle skills over AI-generated beats. What follows is a cringe-worthy yet utterly entertaining series of raps about everything from dripping on shorts to pizza delivery delays. The awkwardness reaches peak levels when we discover his mom is waiting outside in the car during the entire recording session. His signature phrase "You ever have one of those days..." becomes the setup for increasingly absurd freestyle topics, while his need to "quote" offensive lyrics to avoid "copyright issues" adds another layer of comedy gold.
After Skiddles departs, we dive into our favorite Subway sandwich hacks (double-toasted flatbread is a game-changer) and explore some fascinating music discoveries. From The Plot in You's atmospheric metalcore to Babymetal's collaboration with Poppy, we share our unfiltered takes on current metal trends. We also discover "Finley," a short horror-comedy film about an inept killer doll that perfectly aligns with our taste for offbeat entertainment.
The episode showcases our natural conversational chemistry while featuring one of the most memorable guest characters we've ever had. Whether you're here for the trainwreck freestyle session, food talk, or music recommendations, this episode delivers laughs from start to finish.
Ready to experience the trials and tribulations of Skittles and our unfiltered reactions? Hit play now and don't forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review!
