If you’ve ever watched a monkey try to do calculus, you know what you’re in for: John & Pat, with no improv background between them, play improv games. Aren’t you tired of professionals like Paul F.

And they never will be if they keep insulting potential advertisers as they do in this episode. The resistance lives!

John & Pat do their annual Golden Globe predictions, and maintain their tradition of picking winners even though they haven’t seen the majority of the nominations. That’s how things work in Trump’s America! Their lack of knowledge doesn’t prevent them from explaining at length why the Hollywood Foreign Press sucks, either. You suck, HFP!

Finally, the whole stupid year is over, so it’s time for our annual recap of the few good things that actually happened. Spoiler: The Emoji Movie didn’t make the cut. We’re rebels! ps: We apologize for not having a special “227” episode for our 227th episode. Wait until you hear Episode 90210, we’ll more than[...]

John’s program of torturing Pat with screamy music finally comes to an end with the last installment of their Hüsker Dü album reviews. Will Pat exact his revenge? Or will John force him to do a series on the discography of Motörhead? Why are there no bands with umlauts anymore? And most importantly: why should[...]

Having a terrible year like the rest of us? Need something to cheer you up? The Earwolf network has plenty of podcasts for that. If you want to stay confused and angry, John & Pat are where it’s at!

Nothing. It’s a theme Pat & John have explored before, both on the podcast and in their mental states. They once again stare into the void and the void stares back. Then the void takes them out for beers and they watch a VHS copy of Caddyshack. The void’s not so bad.

Pat & John relive the glory days of their youth and contrast it with their decrepit, bitter present in this episode that’s sure to make you question your concept of mortality, art and what it means to be human in the modern era. Or else they just recite a bunch of lists. It’s really not[...]

John & Pat. Police Squad! and Angie Tribeca. Possibly the single most intellectual podcast episode anyone’s ever made. Bring your thinking caps and don’t forget to [fart noise].

John and Pat wanted the same ratings as Never Not Funny, so instead of developing comedy skills they just played Sevens for this episode. Oh, plus another mystery game! Who doesn’t love listening to people play games? Commies, that’s who. Also, those who care what goes into their ear holes – those people and commies.[...]

John & Pat compare the two rarest ’80s B-movies out there – you can’t find these on Amazon! Or Wikipedia. Or IMDB. Don’t even try. In fact, skip this episode, because you’ll never see these films. Red Maze The Ice Cream Man
