It's that time of year again - that's right, it is Brickmas day! Celebrate the Ben Folds song Brick once again with Chris & Rob as they walk through the Brickmas traditions that everyone partakes in on December 26th.

Chris and Rob set out to record the 2025 holiday episode when a mysterious train shows up in front of the studio. Then things take an even more unexpected turn when Santa Claus himself winds up dead - and everyone on the Polar Express is a suspect.

Gumby and Pokey are detectives in this thrilling Gumby Christmas episode that features a wild showdown between Ebenezer Scrooge and Santa - all taking place in a neat 7 minutes.Plus, Rob shares his special connection to Roger Stone.

Rob shares his unbelievable Black Friday discounted find with Chris, and it just might launch this podcast into the stratosphere.

We test out some AI generated theme songs for the podcast and then try to get the real Gumby and Pokey on the phone. 

We're very excited to announce that this year's Halloween episode is sponsored by JC Penney. Unfortunately, the JC Penney corporation sent a (quite creepy) representative to monitor us and ensure we represent their brand appropriately. 

On a very special in-person recording session, we play a podcast hosted by two survivalists who show you how to sustain yourself out in the wilderness. Plus, Chris & Rob mourn the end of short king summer.

Today we check in on one of the first podcasts we ever played on Podcast Town - "Word To Your Mother", hosted by the Clippy the paper clip. On this episode, he sits down with Microsoft Copilot AI and the conversation gets tense. 

Today's featured podcast is Dr. Pete, hosted by a kindly southern psychologist who helps his guests "turn their life around". On this episode he tries to help troubled youth Bobby, but Bobby may or may not be just trying to go viral with his catchphrases. Plus, Chris & Rob reenact Seinfeld.

To celebrate the beginning of football season, Chris surprises Rob by bringing his old high school football coach on as a special guest for the episode.

On a wild episode of Gumby, Pokey requests Gumby’s help to fix his farm which is being terrorized by a syringe-wielding gopher. Plus, we try to interpret the lyrics to Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”.

Erika joins us to share her thoughts on Soulja Boy AND watch a truly momentous installment of Gumby. In the show’s 3rd episode, “The Little Lost Pony”, we are introduced to Pokey and get our first appearance of THE BLOCKHEADS. Are they Gumby’s enemies? Does Gumby dress like a cowboy in this episode? Did Erika ever get stuck in a steakhouse bathroom as a child? Listen to find out all this and more! 

We are back to talk about AND watch Gumby. In "Mirrorland", we learn a little more about Gumby's home life as he runs an errand for his mom who famously has big boobs. Plus, we dig into what some YouTube commenters have to say about this episode.Watch along with us at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUHyZt_NY7k 

Today’s podcast examines the billionaire class and whether it is inherently immoral to amass such wealth when poverty still affects so many around the world. Plus we discuss the live action Lilo & Sititch movie. 

On this very special Gumby podcast, we tear the bandaid off and stop just talking about Gumby - we finally LEARN about Gumby. We do this by watching the 1956 Pilot episode of Gumby and, boy, is it weird.Find out if any of our theories were correct and watch the first episode of Gumby (called “Moon Trip”) along with us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wt87rvCPViQ?si=FNkejJHsn45Nm8dX

We found a little-known podcast from 5 years ago hosted by the man who eventually became the new leader of the Catholic church - Pope Leo himself. Set in Chicago, this podcast (weirdly enough called "The Pope") centers around then Father Bobby's quest to open a high-end church in the wake of his brother's passing. But can his deadbeat cousin and ragtag staff pull it together enough to impress the Cardinal who is coming to review the next mass? 

It's an episode 10 years in the making...the 10th anniversary of our first podcast ever!Guests Erika and Steve, who were both there for the first show in 2015, join us to discuss our experiences recording that inaugural episode and all the various podcasts and milestones we've hit since then. Then we take a victory lap by watching and commenting on the first episode of season 9 of Family Matters (the same ep from our first show) and even find out whether Scott Stapp had anything to say about it. Don't miss this momentous occasion for the world's longest running least popular podcast!
