Trash Party Aftermath

From inception to payoff, this rough and rambling mixtape is a fiery mess of leftover ideas and what-ifs that weren’t up to snuff in our first year. So come chew the fat that didn’t make the cut but was way too tasty to waste.

In what is possibly the most Frankenstein’d episode ever, we reflect on sneaking into high school, Justin’s OCD, and future craft beer appreciation. Then: despised social media photos and Chris’ new favorite adult star. Justin gushes about Detective Comics #1000. Also: video stores, burnt dicks, and a roadtrip recap.

Justin and Chris do a phonecall car-cast about dream fights, open casket funerals, and deviled eggs. Things are about to get interesting for Chris in St. Louis. Hear all about Chris’ first move against a grizzly and his overly friendly new neighbors. Also: we do a rewind back to a failed attempt at ordering pizza amid more food banter.

We celebrate our 50th episode with rousing talk of fantasy sequels, fake MySpace bands, and ditching class. We explore the multiple easter eggs that tie together the Adam Sandler Extended Cinematic Universe and then we read old texts from an old phone. Also: current pop punk, casseroles, and death row final meals. Party down, y’all.

Hear Justin recount a time when him helping another human ended in miserable failure. Also: we explore Chris’ mental happy place and current emotional state. Then: we joyfully flip through Chris’ yearbook autograph pages.

 Join us for talk of vacations, roller coasters, and Chris’ obsession with the log ride. Then there’s a somber bit about that Soul Asylum video and we share our love for the timeless “No Country For Old Men”. Also: Waluigi’s history, shapeshifters, and missing bagels.

Justin recounts an annoying teenage era revolving around one charismatic trendsetter. Then: Flintstones vitamins, Gak, and Tiger handhelds. Also: details of Chris’ lovelife, bike accessories, and Nickelodeon Studios.

In this lusty dive back into the 90s, we find a young Justin itching for a download. Then: paper airplane glory and a Trash Party nightmare. Chris gives a status update on modern society. Also: pogs.

A misguided discussion about Groundhog’s Day dissolves into ramblings about Inspector Gadget and 80s toys. Then: capitalistic annoyances are explored by way of a clawing, invisible imp. Yes, you read that correctly.

We discuss the most redneck things we’ve ever done while Chris fantasizes about The Purge. Again. Then: lucid dreams, white line hallucinations, and the majesty of porch rocking chair life. Also: Justin gives a quick Batman comic recap and then we hear about an old man’s oxygenated journey.

Justin marvels at plotless video games that actually do have plots. Also: retro game enjoyment via nostalgia vs. the forced agendas of new retro-styled titles. Then Andrew ties it all together with a taco salad he ate a year ago. Remarkable.

We catch up with Chris on roommate living and the prospect of new adventures. More serial killer talk and some comic book stuff. Then: Fyre Festival doc discussions mixed with the glory of 90s Pizza Hut cups. Also: sadness masked by memes, winter depression, and Chris’ dad’s weekly “men’s club.” Ew.

We get bizarre pawn shop stories followed by a fond recollection of Nolan’s Dark Knight. Also: DC/Marvel villains are compared and animated comic movies are hailed. Then: Justin swoons over Kevin Conroy’s Batman voice. BATMAN!!

This one is exactly what it sounds like: classic video games played messily and honestly. End description.

Our guest gets properly profiled as a man of conviction via a memorable coffee shop anecdote. Justin has more late night terror. Then: serial killer documentaries and Friday the 13th. Justin gets schooled on Hellraiser.

The beloved Limp Bizkit era of beanies, Tony Hawk, and Napster is reloaded. Justin gushes about his fondness for Wal-Mart skateboards and the Workaholics sweet spot. The boys hop into the worst cars they’ve ever ridden in as Justin contemplates a name change.

An unexpected guest sits in to discuss executions, cannons, Lore, and meat rain. Then: action figures and Jeff Goldblum. Gross 80s horror tropes and the capabilities of killer robots are called into question.

New ideas are volleyed amid Leprechaun and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse talk. The prospect of owning a restaurant is fantasized while Justin gives Chris too much to think about regarding sitcom one-offs. Also: more message board slaps and quality vs. quantity.

Another creepy episode full of number stations, cursed phone numbers, and Dark Web conspiracies. Justin outlines his annoying exit from a Facebook group and his thoughts on drinking podcasts. Also: the Great Porn-Off of 2008.

The boys sleepily get Nintendo-centric with ASMR, impulse buys, and a rundown of the new generation of Pokémon. Then: Chris helps the elderly as Justin entertains buying a boat. Rule 34 is lightly explained amidst a discussion about what qualifies as being a “snowflake.” Also: classic slasher movies are revisited.
