A podcast dedicated to ending, if not preventing altogether, the Bropocalypse in which we currently live. The Bropocalypse is the era in human history where regressive social politics, toxic masculinity, fervent anti-intellectualism, and unfettered capitalism posed significant, real-world threats t…
In what can only be described as a cultural sea change on par with the invention of the printing press, we have a FIRST-TIME IN-STUDIO GUEST APPEARANCE from Dr? Reece Stevens on this episode of Bropocalypse Now. Before that, we have some terrible news about Producer Evan and meet our new producer, Producer Roman Anthony Karlov. Like! Subscribe! Go nuts!
As season 2 rolls on like a stone that can't gather moss, we discuss the just-past-relevance topic of OK Boomer. We discuss the pros and cons of Baby Boomers and talk to Larry Forehammer, a quintessential baby boomer. Also, Shaun's Uncle Gary stops by! It's a rich tapestry of excellence. LISTEN! SPREAD THE WORD!
We've RETURNED to discuss one of Shaun and Courtney's favorite bands: Radiohead! We walk you through the history of the band, run through our favorite Radiohead songs, and we even talk to SOME MEMBERS OF THE BAND! (Yes, really*!) It's a great time! What the hell else are you even doing?? *no, not really
Welcome back and WELCOME to Season 2 of Bropocalypse Now! We'll go over changes you can expect, if any new sponsors are jumping on board (hint: there's a few!), and we talk with Dr? Reece Stevens about yet another wrinkle of our mission. Listen! Share! Send us through the stratosphere! This episode is sponsored by Chimpmail™ and Chuck Woolery's Reverse Mortgages.
We're BACK in the Fortress of Shaunitude to discuss our new sponsor, what flavor of Triscuits they are, and get into our hypothetical lineup for the (dearly departed) Woodstock 50th Anniversary Show (or, as fans of the podcast will no doubt agree, the Woodstock '99 20th Anniversary). We GET INTO IT! We GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT! Check it out and TELL EVERYONE YOU MEET ABOUT IT!
Just in time for Labor Day comes our SUMMER EPISODE! We talk about our summer experiences, the record Brian Wilson made with John Stamos, and some of our favorite summer songs (and what they're actually called). Listen! Share! GET US ON NPR BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
From our SURPRISINGLY EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE comes our last show of 2018! We discuss the year's events before we get into the main event: OUR CLIP SHOW! We go through the best moments of 2018, as well as explain how we're already doing a clip show despite only releasing 8 episodes. There's action, drama, laughter, and CHIPS! Enjoy, like, share, tell anyone whose life you want to get better!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Bropocalypse Now is Bropocalypse BACK! And we're BACK to talk about politician/musician/mustache icon Sonitzo "Sonny Bono" Bonazzelli and the hypnotic power of Baby Boomer idolatry. Also, we discuss how to do a "cold slow cook," whether Brandy Glanville is a place, and Courtney talks with with ridiculous South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham's sibling, Slindsey Graham. Listen! Share! Pledge your undying loyalty!
After a brief hiatus, we're BACK to figure out if the podcast can even make it out of 2018! We talk to Dr? Reece Stevens about how the Two-Decadenator works (and what that means for the future of the podcast) as well as to South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham (R) about nothing related to that. Subscribe! Share!! MAKE IT MORE POPULAR THAN ADAM CAROLLA.
Welcome BACK to Bropocalypse Now, now OUT THERE IN THE WORLD (as of when we recorded it). We discuss the overwhelmingly whelming response to the podcast, the future of the podcast, the bullshit pseudoscience that is "bracketology", and Courtney and Producer Evan's pop culture brackets. Speaking of Courtney, she talks to South Carolina senator Lindsay Graham and clues us in as to what she has against Kyra Sedgwick. Listen! Subscribe! TELL EVERYONE YOU'VE EVER MET ABOUT OUR PODCAST!
Welcome back to Bropocalypse Now! After a brief segment dedicated to flat-out begging for lucrative advertisers, we delve into the ridiculousness that was Y2K (and why 1998 Shaun has nothing to worry about). Then, we talk with Dr? Reece Stevens (or at least Courtney does) and have a surprise drop in by South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham. Tune in! Tell everyone! ENJOY IT. THOROUGHLY.
Coming to you again from the Fortress of Shaunitude, we're still broadcasting back to 1998 to prevent the Bropocalypse in which we currently live. We talk to Dr? Reece Stevens protege Leigh Leightman, talk about the film adaptation of the Butterfly Effect theory, and introduce the series finale of Producer Evan Time. Listen! Subscribe! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
In this ep, we go back over what the Bropocalypse is and how we're trying to stop it. We also have a behind-the-scenes spat with Producer Evan over his compensation and co-host Courtney speaks with Dr? Reece Stevens, radio & industrial engineering expert. That and slightly more! (And, please, if you're in Western Massachusetts, listen to Lazer 99.3! It's good again! For real!)
On this episode, we walk through Woodstock '99, generally believed to be the flashpoint of the Bropocalypse. Shaun, Courtney, and Producer Evan look at the tragic final installment of the Woodstock trilogy, not unlike X-Men 3: The Last Stand. We wrap up by trying to figure out what 17 year old Shaun could do in the context of Woodstock '99, were he, as intended, could hear it on the radio 20 years ago and take action.
Welcome to Brocpocalypse Now, a podcast dedicated to ending, if not preventing altogether, the Bropocalypse in which we currently live. Our podcast is brought to you by an invention by Dr? Reece Stevens, a doctor of radio and industrial engineering, which allows us to broadcast 20 years into the past to hopefully help people stop the events that lead to the Bropocalypse. (What is the Bropocalypse? ou're gonna need to listen to the podcast to find out. No, seriously, I describe it right off the bat. Ish.) In our first episode, we discuss who we are, what we're doing, and why we try to keep out producer, Producer Evan, off mic. We also try to define and pronounce neoliberalism. Hop on board!
