In August of 2019, 3 boys embarked on a journey to record a podcast for 24 hours straight. These are their stories. Hosted by wholesome music man Connor Musarra (@connormusarra), and comedy brothers Victor Trevino (@realvtron) and Demetri Belardinelli (@demzjr).
Recorded a week prior to the boys doing the actual 24 hour pod. Well rested boys predict the outcome of their impending doom of recording a 24 hour podcast that they hadn't even named yet or planned in any way.
The delirious chaos culminates in a victory lap of an hour with once again, way too many guests in the room.
It's the final stretch and the cavalry is here: Several well rested heroes come to celebrate and watch these boys cross the finish line.
Ever wanted to hear a 70 year old badass movie SFX guy air out the entire industry? Demetri's dad (Charles Belardinelli if you want to IMDB him) tells insane stories about working on massive blockbusters from Nightmare on Elm Street to The Expendables. Hour 21 guest Ernie Long hangs around as well to ask Charlie questions. The boys hang on for dear life.
guest Ernie Long (@bandaid_nelly) lends his fully rested energy to our 3 absolutely delirious hosts. Do you remember Soap shoes? or Enigma the pickup artist? or JoeySalads peeing into his own mouth? then this is the episode for you. If you don't remember those things, this is also the episode for you.
5pm the next day. The boys are down but not quite out. Weirdo cult film enthusiast Ernie Long stops by to talk weirdo cult films.
A guided visualization of the 2003 movie Holes, "GaryV" calls in and makes a huge announcement, and Demetri's hate for this podcast is unrelenting.
It's been 18 hours and our 3 heroes just caught their 18th wind. There is a fog of farts and febreeze. Victor attempts to hypnotize the listeners (listen to find out if he succeeds).
17 hours in, the quicksands of time have the boys drowning a brutal spiritual journey. Mystery guest Jacob lends his insights ands encouragement as the boys fade into an abyss sprinkled with conversations of "Power Nap Gambling" and recalling terrible past jobs. Also general Tommy Lee Jones and Lars Ulrich from Metallica references
16 hours in and the boys are really hitting a stride. They share their New Years resolutions and definitely know what sex is. Also some mystery guests appear and bring new energy to the pod.
In potentially the most unhinged hour yet, the boys attempt to stay on topic for a supposed Christmas Episode, 15 hours in.
Holding on for dear life but luckily the boys catch a 14th wind about halfway through this episode
The boys have made it past the halfway point. It's 9AM and they're paid a visit from their local garbage truck. And for some reason this is big news to our delirious heroes.
Technically this is the thanksgiving episode. The boys have officially made it halfway. It's now 8AM and they've been talking for 12 hours straight.
It's 7AM. The sun is fully up and our boys get a second wind. But still do not know what the fuck they are talking about.
After somehow surviving a dark turn in Hour 9, the sun is rising and the boys are back with a new, completely delusional energy for hour 10. Deep existential conversations interspersed with complete nonsense.
It is now 5AM and the boys have been talking for 9 hours straight. They begin to question reality and all of the decisions that led to this one. Delirium is setting in. They are hitting rock bottom.
It is now 4AM and the boys somehow managed to get Grammy award winning guitarist/producer/songwriter Dru Decaro aka Falconry (Miguel, Vic Mensa, etc) to come thru and tell some late night stories for this special Halloween hour of the pod.
Reality is beginning to set in. The first 6 hours were a breeze. The 7th, not so much.
Special guest RAF returns to discuss various drug related adventures including facing a quarter of mushrooms and ending up at a police parade and downing an entire sheet of (allegedly) stolen heart medicine.
Special guest RAF joins the boys to expose the lizard people living among the Hollywood elite.
The boys really hit their stride reminiscing about high school superlatives and lack thereof.
The hot chicken arrives and the boys sing Nickleback as heard in Spiderman (2002)
The boys order Nashville Hot Chicken and dive into the genitalia aspect of Oscar Best Picture winner "The Shape of Water"
Our three heroes settle in to the room they will be trapped in for the next 24 hours.
