You're Not Gonna Like ThisYou're Not Gonna LIVE This: A Fond Farewell from the YONO BoysWho would have thought we would have gone 72 Episodes of this silliness. Not our teachers and parents (they actually thought we would do something useful with our lives).Andrew talks about some news stories you might have missed. Seth tries to tie up all the loose ends before we shutter the podcast for good. And we answer YOUR questions!! But we did this one LIVE in Seth's apartment with some of our friends and family. It was an absolute blast, and we love everyone who came out. We also love you, dear listener. Thanks for be...
2021-11-291h 53You're Not Gonna Like ThisEpisode 71 - A Woman And Her Chili Dogs and A Man and His Bear SuitFresh from a trip home, Andrew waxes nostalgic about his childhood baseball card selection that is maybe worth a lot of money now (but probably isn’t) before launching into some odd news stories of late, including one about a guy walking across the country in an anime-style bear costume for unclear reasons!

2021-07-191h 08You're Not Gonna Like ThisEpisode 70 - YONO UNCUT: Includes all the scenes that were too hot for theaters!In this one, it's time for Seth to unburden himself of some of the useless information that he has attained while doing research for past episodes. Thankfully, Andrew is there to shoulder the weight of mental garbage such as "What game did Victorian children play with chestnuts?" "Who is the current owner of the Everlasting Gobstopper?" and of course "What is the one movie credit that both George H.W. Bush and Slimer from Ghostbusters share?"All that and more!

2021-07-061h 24You're Not Gonna Like ThisEpisode 68 - The Diamond in McGruff: A Crime Dog's TaleThe YONO boys celebrate their triumphant return to your ears by talking about the most (and least) effective anti drug PSA's of the 80's and 90's. We analyze how McGruff solved the crime and drug epidemic on our shores, and then we try to design our own PSA's to help New Zealand's war on people falling into water without being able to swim that well. Also, I list all the things that suck about California opening up again, and Andrew takes a big swing at his old nemesis: the British crown. (The topic starts at...

We spend a lot of time in this episode shining a light on some of history's moms that have been sadly left by the wayside because they don't fit in to what I'm calling the "Military Industrial Mom-plex." But think about this: what better way is there to honor our moms, your moms, all moms than for Seth and Andrew to finally get their s-word together and become hot shot lawyers like on the TV!?

2021-05-111h 16You're Not Gonna Like ThisEpisode 65 - Andrew (not Dunston) Checks InAndrew does the unthinkable and ditches the traditional topic format of the show to check in on his pal Seth.They talk about being tired of Shakespeare references, how the pandemic has or hasn't changed their lives, and (Seth's impression of) Ira Glass makes a return appearance to the podcast Send us an email: yonopod@gmail.comFollow us: @yonopod on Twitter and @yourenotgonnalikethispod on InstagramLinksIf you somehow aren't familiar, here is the wiki of the film Dunston Checks In referenced in this episode and probably many future ones
2021-05-031h 15You're Not Gonna Like ThisEpisode 64 - Never Pet Your HeroesSeth, much like most people in our nation, spends a lot of time worrying about Andrew's tendency to live vicariously through his favorite historical figures. It's just not healthy. So, with Dickensian style (and life expectancies) the boys go on a whimsical journey, imagining what Andrew's life would be like if he suddenly switched with some of his historic heroes. And we learn that the grass may not always be greener on the other side. Liking the show? Disliking it? Hearing a lot about this new "electronic mail" thing?Give us an email!yonopod@gmail.com...

(available here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/yule-lad89/which-yule-lad-from-icelandic-mythology-are-you-7oc7g5y798 )So he decided to spotlight some up and coming quiz-smiths by finding some of the internet's finest personality quizzes and forcing one Andrew Caudill to take them.

An animated movie from 1992 that was personally rejected by Walt Disney (that's a real thing). We talk about the film and try to piece together how it taught Seth to believe in friendship, while simultaneously teaching him to be aroused by chickens. We also send a prayer to the Suez Canal ship and its precious cargo, and we talk about why Seth doesn't care when quarantine ends. Enjoy!...

But we also dive into some Victorian parlor games such as "Hot Cockles," "Huckle Buckle Beanstalk," and the deceptively named "Bullet Pudding."We also fix some of the inaccuracies in Hungry, Hungry Hippos, extend an olive branch to the snake community, and extend whatever the opposite of an olive branch is to our n...
