Step by Stapp Podcast

On this very special Gumby podcast, we tear the bandaid off and stop just talking about Gumby - we finally LEARN about Gumby. We do this by watching the 1956 Pilot episode of Gumby and, boy, is it weird.Find out if any of our theories were correct and watch the first episode of Gumby (called “Moon Trip”) along with us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wt87rvCPViQ?si=FNkejJHsn45Nm8dX

We found a little-known podcast from 5 years ago hosted by the man who eventually became the new leader of the Catholic church - Pope Leo himself. Set in Chicago, this podcast (weirdly enough called "The Pope") centers around then Father Bobby's quest to open a high-end church in the wake of his brother's passing. But can his deadbeat cousin and ragtag staff pull it together enough to impress the Cardinal who is coming to review the next mass? 

Today's podcast follows several police officers who are mic'd up on their patrols. You might not believe this, but it turns out some of their interactions are a little weird. Plus, we get a new signoff phrase for the show. 

It's an episode 10 years in the making...the 10th anniversary of our first podcast ever!Guests Erika and Steve, who were both there for the first show in 2015, join us to discuss our experiences recording that inaugural episode and all the various podcasts and milestones we've hit since then. Then we take a victory lap by watching and commenting on the first episode of season 9 of Family Matters (the same ep from our first show) and even find out whether Scott Stapp had anything to say about it. Don't miss this momentous occasion for the world's longest running least popular podcast!

Once again our feed has been hacked by the two Yankee fans who tried to steal a fly ball from the Dodgers in the World Series. Now officially banned from all MLB games, they are apparently doing another podcast to kick off the 2025 MLB season. Hear what they've been up to since October, their plans to sneak back into Yankee Stadium, and how things are going with their only caller, Frankie on the car phone.

Today we welcome a very special guest to the show - none other than McDonaldland's own purple...thing: Grimace. Hear about Grimace's new podcast, his struggles with substance abuse and being a nepo baby, and some close connections he has to Chris & Rob. But, is it the real Grimace? Or just a guy in a suit?

Today's featured podcast is a support group for anyone going through the struggle in these trying times of being cut out of a vast inheritance from your extremely rich dad.

A podcast hosted by partners at a law firm who offer legal advice to callers. Plus, Chris regrets his New Year's resolution.

For today's episode, we found a podcast that only gets released on Boxing Day. Turns out the hosts are Podcast Town regulars Roger Moore and Bill Kaminski, and their Boxing Day traditions are not what you'd expect.

The annual holiday special is here! This time, Rob narrates the story of a memorable Christmas from his childhood, when life was simpler and the only present he wanted was something all the adults around him warned was too dangerous: an explicit album. Through all the ups and downs of the holiday season, we are reminded to cherish our close friends and loved ones. Or in Rob's case - his Mom's cousin, Joey. 

Today we feature a podcast from friend / foe of the show Martii showcasing the all the Black Friday deals at Trader Joe's this year. But there is more going on at the Tallahassee Trader Joe's than meets the eye.

After more than a year since episode 99, we are officially doing the 100th episode of Podcast Town (aka Chris & Rob Talk About Other People's Podcasts). You're welcome!For this momentous occasion, we play a never-before heard podcast that happens to be the 2nd podcast ever recorded. We found it in a box from 1985 on a cassette tape next to the first podcast ever recorded (which we played way back on episode 1). It's called: P.O.D.C.A.S.T. Plus, we hear from some bonus special guests at the end of the show.

Dear Listeners, Our podcast got hacked Wednesday night by those two Yankee fans who tried to grab the ball from Mookie Betts' glove during World Series Game 4. They did a whole podcast on our feed while watching Game 5 live. I wish we had something else to play for you today but unfortunately we don't, so this one is for you sports heads out there. Could this the most niche episode of our podcast or any podcast ever? You be the (Aaron) judge!- Chris & Rob

Today we watch yet another horny episode  of Step by Step, discuss the song Scott Stapp wrote about it, and try to get press credentials to see Creed in concert.

This episode was brought to you on schedule despite the best efforts of would-be saboteurs who did not want you to hear what we have to say. Though the recording session encountered a series of obstacles, we were not silenced.

Today we find a surprisingly obvious connection between the Scott Stapp song “Deadman's Trigger” and the episode of Step by Step where Cody and Dana become teachers. Plus, Rob is distracted as he waits for an important phone call.

Today we welcome another guest who has some Gumby thoughts to get off his chest on Chris & Rob Talk About Gumby. His name is also Chris and he's got ideas on everything  from Gumby's voice to the color of Gumby's car to how much it costs to book Bubba Sparxxx for a private event. But does this Chris actually know shit about Gumby? Or is he implanting false memories in our brains?

Today we discuss Scott Stapp's surprise appearance in a Paramount+ Super Bowl commercial, the contents of Rob's Creed Go Bag, and we watch Step by Step S4E15 where Mark has girlfriend trouble. We then postulate that Mr. Stapp wrote his 2019 song Face of the Sun about that very episode (spoiler: he did).

We're back to learn about everyone's favorite probably green character: GUMBY. Special guest Jay joins us to talk about the two possible Gumby facts he knows.

Finally, your mind will be blown by how closely the episode aligns with Scott Stapp's 2019 song, "Survivor".

Today we rank the top 5 TGIF shows, get a Creed ticket price update, and watch a Christmas episode of Step by Step where JT goes skiing with Beavis and Butthead (not a joke). We also do one of our patented Creed reenactments to show how Scott Stapp decided to write a 2019 song about that very Step by Step Christmas episode. 

Today we discuss more Creed news and start our plans to see the reunion tour in 2024. Then we discuss the 2019 Scott Stapp song "World I Used To Know", which we suspect is about Step by Step S4 E11. Find out if we were right, and also how big Frank Lambert's dong is. 

Creed is back and so are we! After a 4 year hiatus, we have decided to do another "season" of Step by Stapp. New episodes will be dropping every other Friday, and we will continue to pepper in our sister podcasts like "Chris & Rob Talk About 90's Cars". Eventually, we will get to the 100th episode of Podcast Town. But first...The Texas Rangers amplified Creed by making "Higher" their anthem this postseason. Creed reunited and will be touring next year. And Chris and Rob are returning to talk Step and Stapp to you every other week. But, there's a slight format change this time. Instead of recapping an episode of Step by Step and then relating it to a Creed song, we will first discuss a Creed song and then actually watch an episode live on the podcast to find out why Scott wrote said song about said episode. Buckle up, because you're about to hear a lot more of Carol, Frank, and the kids in the clan. 

Today we pay tribute to the late Suzanne Somers on a throwback episode of Step by Stapp. We also talk about Scott Stapp's new song, “What I Deserve”, and what may have inspired him to write it. There's no way the song could be about to Suzanne Somers' passing, right? …Right?!We also stumble on a great merch idea and plant the seeds of the next big pop culture podcast
