The trolls of 4chan are probably reading this right now and there is nothing we can do to stop them from calling us a bunch of snowflake cuck JEWS. "Jew" is an insult on 4chan so that is a reason right there to hate it's guts. Jesus Loueesus can we just all agree that being racist sucks!? ANYWAY...

Why do two hot girls fight over this unattractive redhead so much? Why are Jughead's eyes always closed? Is comic book food appetizing? All of these questions and more are pondered in this episode!
Jon Beckerman is an O.G. T.V. Man having worked in heyday-era Letterman and co-creating the successful NBC series, Ed. He's also just a well-rounded person with a wife and two daughters and cool glasses.

MAKE ME LIKE IT52: MARRIED STUFF with Adam Countee and Tracey WigfieldThis week we did a bit of a different format. We addressed the broad subject of being married with one of our favorite married couples, Tracey Wigfield and Adam Countee! What's their marriage like compared to ours? What was their wedding like compared to ours? Was their's better? WHY? For one, their wedding was covered by the G.D. New York Times... So like, I guess that's "better" than a wedding not being covered by anyone but a bunch of people's Instagrams that showed the extensive wreckage of the tornado that hit it.
Adam and Tracey are both fantastic writers...2017-04-131h 12

Because we know weirdos like dirt and ticks. WE KNOW. Camping, or as we like to call it, pretending to live outside for a fews days, is dirty... and strange? Jen Tullock likes it.
Jen Tullock is one of those people you meet and you're like, whoa where have you been? She's so talented and has a sense of familiarity to her voice that is just magical. She is a very talented actor, writer and director. You can...2017-03-311h 00
MAKE ME LIKE IT49: OPERA with Josh RubenOpera has been lost on us basically our entire lives. Opera is something to parody, to make fun of, to look at from afar and say "That seems very boring and strange." So why on earth is it so popular for some people? They have whole big fancy buildings dedicated to these performances! There must be some appeal, right Josh Ruben? "Right!" said Josh Ruben.
Josh Ruben is truly one of the funniest humans I've ever seen. Please go and watch all of his old College Humor character videos. They are endless and brilliant. He also is part of an...2017-03-231h 02
MAKE ME LIKE IT48: THE BACHELOR with Lang FisherThe Bachelor Season 21 just came to a close this week in perfect timing with our episode about it! But wow, what a horrible idea for a show. If we are being honest, we can see why people would want to watch it but the ethics behind it are... questionable. Getting married is a HUGE STEP, guys. We would know. But Lang Fisher LOVES The Bachelor and so do a ton of other weirdos so we will give it a whirl!

Are you serious, George Kareman?

But a lot of them are really boring, unoriginal, and often sexist. Anime is also really weird but we can't pretend that's a reason to dislike it. Hee-hee. Nate Fernald really wanted to talk about it with us today!

We don't know what else to say because our understanding of diabetes is pretty limited. But we were pretty sure that it was generally thought of as BAD. Someone thinks it's actually a beneficial thing and that person is Craig Rowin.

Amanda and Michael Klein might have an idea...
Michael Klein is Dan Klein's brother. Weird right? They are both products of the same two people having sex. Actually that's pretty cool when you think about it. Sex is cool. B-) Michael is married to Amanda Shernoff...2017-02-0254 min

That's even MORE FUN! We are of course being sarcastic little weasels. Confrontation is one of those things that makes life hard as hell. Oh god just thinking about it is making our buttholes clench. Some people's buttholes are NOT clenched about this though. One of those people is Shaun Diston.

Why would we do a show on "being annoying" you ask? The only reason I can think of is because our guest today is such a close friend that we'd do just about anything he wanted to do the show on. Except for maybe boogers or vomit or something. Sorry folks, there's no liking boogers and vomit.

Speaking of pessimism, this episode was recorded two days before the election. Isn't that fun? God, we were so young and innocent then. So pessimism is natural for some and learned for others but all in all, in can suck for people. Why go through life with a bad outlook on life? No hope? THAT'S BAD, Y'ALL!

In addition to being the smelliest place on earth, NYC is expensive, dangerous, and full of a-holes who just want to scam you out of your money. Wow, what a place. Greatest city on earth? As if!

It exists, but I'm not sure why. What we DO know is that there are plenty of negative aspects. Lives are ruined (watch The Wrestler you guys), women are treated like walking pieces of meat, and there is a ton of yelling and threats and destruction of perfectly good folding chairs!
