Carp City

We’re back with a new (recorded in April) episode of Carp City! It has been a long time, but instead of talking about what’s happened since the last episode, we discussed dog names, the fundamental uncoolness of segways, getting too comfortable in video calls, lap desks, cycling competitions, and the collapse of celebrity culture.

Welcome back to Carp City! On this episode we talk about the last dryer repairman on earth, uncles in underwear, tolerance in the bowling community, ghost sightings at home, signs from God in the age of overstimulation, and the Christmas Truce of 1914.

On this episode of Carp City, we discuss Oregon Trail, the value of 1st-generation iPods vs. Apple stock, Brett’s old music projects Raver Slut and Two-Way Bidet, lying to the dentist vs. lying dentists, and life in Tinseltown.

This week on Carp City we talk about mourning the loss of a pet, running for president, Ballers, Westworld (spoiler alert), David’s quarter-life crisis, China’s social credit system, and dad’s karaoke domination; Jon shares a jingle his friend wrote in high school.

This week on Carp City, we talk about what everyone has been up to while Brett and his family are visiting Disney. Jon and Dustin took the families to the Great Wolf Lodge, which led to a dilemma about beer choices and witnessing the greatest imaginary baseball game of all time. Grace also drops into the […]

Welcome back to Carp City. This week on the pod we discuss the best Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren film of all time, colloidal silver and gold, good financial advice and where not to get it, “ass cancer,” getting strangers to help you move a refrigerator, what to do when the ceiling starts leaking in your lean-to, […]

On this week’s episode, we return to the ongoing saga of Jon’s personal relationship with JJ Watt. We also get around to talking about sports boycotts, famous people with IBS, Dustin witnessing someone losing their fingertips at the Y, the dangers of changing your tire on the side of the road, Antifa, declaring bankruptcy and going on […]

This week on Carp City, we discuss the controversy around Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide, guys who practice golf swings at inappropriate times, Jess Mancini, run-on stories, and Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi’s miracle touchdown punt return.

This week on Carp City, we get off to a rough start but quickly snowball into conspiracy talk. Jon recounts bargaining for beer at the sketchy neighborhood bodega and getting stung by a jellyfish, then we move on to lighter fare such as flat earth, the New Life Children’s Refuge case, NASA, snake people, Jerry […]

To christen our new studio, Dustin joins us on the pod to talk about regrets in life, the value of an education, going to church as a kid, pharmaceutical sales, video day at school, boat problems, and the perfect bachelor dinner (according to our dad).

Today we discuss our thoughts on Holmes and Watson, Jon’s golden days (and his camo Pontiac Bonneville), Queer Eye, Jon’s sense of humor, fart pants, Dave’s side gig as an extra in Japanese TV dramas, Jon getting schooled in Street Fighter II by a Mexican grocery proprietor, and Brett’s first days of being open for business at […]

One month later and welcome back to Carp City! Today we come to you with over two hours of pod regarding the neighboring contractor T-Bone and his contempt for sandwiches/sandwiching, the man crowned “horniest dude alive” (spoiler alert: it's our dad), stupid shit coworkers say, stealing candy from the church organists' kitchen, Brett's manicured hands, putting […]

With all three brothers back in the studio, we sit down to talk about World War II stiffies, job interviews in Japan, what you can't smell in a smoky bar, drunk parents in Wisconsin Dells, the Fyre Festival and Bernie Madoff, and every kid's favorite pastime: throwing things at other things.

Brett and Jon discuss oatmeal cream pies, cage-free eggs, the time Jon saw J.J. Watt at the grocery store, why Brett might be Jack Pearson (but can't cook anything), popcorn kernels, and why Jon is a huge Conway Twitty fan.

Anticipating a snowstorm, Brett and Jon have a sleepover in the studio to catch up and talk about their new business ventures.

Grace and Ashley join us in the studio for another episode. Brett and Jon have a mis-shit-understanding, our dad scares children (and whoever lives in our old house), Grace gets too excited about Ellen's stand-up special, Jon saves himself from drowning, and another story about Zack (Zach?).

“So there we were in love, and I was showing her videos of dead whales exploding on my phone.” Ashley and Grace join us on the podcast today to talk about wine, why Brett doesn't wear a wedding ring, how Grace and Jon met, and more bald man problems.

Bonus episode! Brett goes to the doctor for a routine operation, but soon realizes his doctor has a routine of his own to take care of first.

Déjà vu and shooting stars, dad desecrates the sanctity of our studio by walking in with nothing but a towel on (again), Jon's lack of text etiquette, a neighbor who used to be Happy Gilmore, bald man problems, Brett belittles Jon's profession, and Jon concludes the burnt-out building story from episode 8.

Carp City goes on the road! We talk about dads and their snuggle struggles, minivan megafun, neighbors talking behind Jon's back, Brett saving a woman's life, Horatio Sanzing French toast, hamburger talk, and a heroic boat rescue (that is, rescuing a boat).

Jon and Brett (a.k.a. Thrashdad Paperboy) record an episode without David for the first time.

Brett faces some pushback, Jon heard about an abdominal extraction, making a ruckus on the second floor of an office, shitty noise bands, some shoegaze and punk talk, shoutout to @grixlycola, Jon rants about the Packers, lunchroom shenanigans.

We review some Christmas movies (The Christmas Chronicles and The Princess Switch), movies Brett and Jon watched in a family friend's basement (The Crying Game, The Piano, Philadelphia, Six Degrees of Separation, Leaving Las Vegas), a certain obsession of days gone by, and Brett almost got shanked over a vacuum cleaner one time. Other things we mentioned: I'm not crying, there is no […]

Pigs in a blanket, going to Costco (and a quick plug for Planet Money), dad asks Brett for a favor, a car accident scored to the Monkees, the Junkyard Dog, the fake band Threatin, and should you call yourself an “artist”?

Brett gets his astrology reading from a checkout girl at the grocery store, Dave plans an Irish goodbye, and Jon recounts his time as a Budweiser truck driver and his glory days on the elementary school basketball B-team.

Weak handshakes, growing up, information overload, customer service, watching television, and more! Dave and Jon also gush over This Is England.

Jon and Dave sit down without Brett to talk about an update on the deer situation, how quickly things change, Jon's glasses, and foreign language classes in high school.

Jon hit a deer with his car, but what happened next was even more unexpected.

Work talk, throwing newspapers, and what do you do with movie theater rewards points?
