Post-nuclear Reno

I'm back this week with a brief one because we had to get emergency roof surgery.

It's a bad week for everyone, let's just call this one a wash? The Pope died, democracy has been dead for while, and I've got a few other things on my mind.

I sit down with Jonathan Allgood to show him more videos of my chickens, talk about a dope Don't Tell Comedy show I attended in Reno, and discuss records I hunted for Record Store Day. Jonathan finds his old comedy notebook from 2016 and I advocate for various types of violence against America's undesirables.

This week Jonathan and I tackle our slow weeks with chicken updates and pooping updates, we play Mad Libs for the first time in FOREVER and then we commit to a hot boy summer.

Sorry Jonathan is so quiet, I tried a cloud thing for recording and it went terribly. Me and Jonathan are still on our old man shit talking about oatmeal, Jonathan's pooping update, and how our beautiful art will age. I talked about reviewing music and the album "My Apologies to the Chef" by Winona Fighter, then we get to more drunken stories and strange goings-on before dipping HARD.

Jonathan and I (your host Bobby Benedict) sit down to talk about his constipation, chickens, the Costco hot dog, and what types of vegetables we like. If you thought two men could age gracefully then you were wrong! We talk about what nightmares we were when we were drinking and then talk about food for way too long.

I got baby chickens so we talk about that a lot, I talk about being bad with doors, I find out Jonathan was in poultry science before we talk about his pooping habits, we play Man or Bear again!

We talk about Creed for way too long, I go over my top pickles, Consumer Watchdog Jonathan Allgood presents a deviled egg recipe, and we wax philosophic about all sorts of things. Come hang.

This week we've got good ol' Jonathan Allgood and Austin Baca back on the show ready to talk about Austin's birthday, hanging chads, and mochinut again. We talk about Consumer Watchdog Jonathan Allgood's Food Reviews and we play Man or Bear!

I hop on the horn this week to talk about my week, being on crazy meds, locking up my guns, and then some local news!

I sit down with Jonathan Allgood this week for an extremely brief podcast. We verify that Marilyn Manson definitely removed his ribs, I eulogize my dog Phat Boi with some AI Minecraft parkour brainrot, we finally take the Soup vs. Sauce debate into 2025 after some proper studying, and then we cap it all off with the people's favorite new game Man or Bear. Then we get cut off by the free Zoom call because I'm doing broke boy activities.

Where do you draw the line on soups vs sauces? We don't know, and we've never known. I'm burnt out and you're getting a clip show, there's a bit of new commentary though so that's cool.

I got married, a self-driving car yelled at me, most importantly Jonathan HATES Jerry Seinfeld and if Jerry ever sees that you should make sure Jonathan knows that you hate him too. Also I debut my new game show "MAN OR BEAR" where I make guests guess whether a news story was perpetuated by a man or a bear.

That's right, the podcast is back! I talk about what I did in 2024, including a cringy millennial music parody YouTube show. I completely forgot to talk about getting married; maybe next time. What we do get to is Costco monkey slavery, Jonathan's bible verses, wrestling, and all our classic Petri Dish banter. My WiFi didn't like this podcast, and because of the weird app I used for editing, I can't fix how out of sync my voice is from the video. Sorry!

THE PODCAST IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE PODCAST.  That's right, the podcast as we've known and loved it since November 2016 is finally coming to a close. When I first fired up this feed as "Post-Nuclear Reno" I never thought it would become and almost 8-year-long obsession over the dumbest jokes possible that I would then try to call a "content strategy". The first 100 episodes were a labor of love for a comedy scene that I was way too active in. The next 100 episodes were a deep dive into myself and the people I surrounded myself with. I think the energy expended could be better utilized in some new creative ventures. So I will say goodbye to this beautiful podcast feed. Youtube will still have a few of these newer hybrid video episodes up, I may keep releasing long-form podcast-type videos on that same feed but right now I'm going to focus on edited things. EDIT: None of the projects I was working on worked out and I miss having a podcast.

I've got Jonathan Allgood here to ring in the new year, we have almost nothing to talk about other than dick sweat. So strap in, it's just a straight-up hour of dick jokes and broader scientific dick concepts. While that's not entirely a lie we also get into In-n-Outs french fry secrets, the rise and fall of Huy Fong Sriracha, apocalyptic Taco Bell Plans, anger issues, and getting back into the standup mood.

Me and Jonathan are here to talk about fighting animals with our bare hands, Jonathan's Tetris mastery, Spotify goosing Green Day's numbers, and some other things.

The alternative title for this episode was going to be "Old Man Yells At Cloud" but instead I went with something more to the point. I complain about the music industry and 15 minutes and then you all get to go back to your lives. Here's the article I was talking about: https://killerguitarrigs.com/bumblefoot-musicians-t-shirt-salesmen-record-deals-loan/

This week Jonathan and I summoned the strength to talk shit about all our Gen Z haters, then I talked about my dead dogs, and that's pretty much it, see you later.

I have a wonderful guest this week, Luke Demus! He runs a podcast called Topics and Tangents that I was on a few weeks back, and he's been one of the most consistently funny comedians I've shared the stage with. The bad news is you won't get to hear ANY OF THAT SHIT cause I've got TOO MUCH BRAIN WORDS and not enough SHUT THE FUCK UP. Watch as I pelt Luke with words for a whole ass hour about comedy history, my personal psychology, sad stories of dead people, and random opinions about stuff.
