The Premise is Ridiculous

After another accidental week off (sorry, folks), the Richley boys are back and looking to take on the world of make-believe 1980s business with the text-based game, Executive Suite. Joe gives some advice and John learns some truths about himself. Feast your ears!

The Richley boys (who were baptized Catholic, just saying) are putting on a Pope-apalooza and helping the College of Cardinals by choosing the next Pontiff. Will it be Obi-Won Kenobi? Or maybe Milhouse Van Houten? What about Donna Meagle or Captain America? 64 fictional characters vie for Catholicism leadership! Feast your ears!

With John recovering from a head cold, the Richley boys find themselves back in the Nerdcave and have brought along some friends including a Floridian creature feature, the 1990 TMNT movie, Dire Straits' Money for Nothing, Dr. Haledjian and Ralph. Feast your ears!

The Richley boys are back with an extended episode and a big, old apology. The brothers talk about Bubba, roll through a Walk-out, hit up an FMK and unveil a new segment (thanks again, Vin!) called "F This Movie". Feast your ears! Again, listeners, our sincerest thanks for your patience and understanding.

At the midway point of the fifth season, the Richley boys try to throw their proverbial lightsabers in the ring to be the next heads of Lucasfilm. This, naturally, means discussing a Donald Duck impersonator in Florida, a Star Wars madlib and another installment of "Will it Freebird?"...but Star Wars. May the Force be with them...

The Richley boys are getting sleazy at the speakeasy this week. Joe and John discuss Florida's 911 system, attempt to solve a Two-Minute Mystery and decide whether another movie trilogy willFreebird or not? Feast your ears!

The Richley boys, Joe and John (or should we say, Taylor and Ian?) dive back into the world of the absurd with both FMK and Walk-Out segments. The New Balances stay on as one brother fantasizes about pasta-themed tattoos and the other obsesses over a favorite Star Trek character.

The Richley brothers welcome the original Zaniac, Chris, back into the Nerd-Cave for a special episode involving a titanium rod, an Elton John tramp stamp and a brand new segment...Will it Freebird?

Not yet ready to relinquish the holiday season, the Richley boys discuss a chimney bound Seattle man, ponder Blanche's holiday greetings and Muppet-ify a holiday classic. Grab your favorite cookies and milk and feast your ears!

With a mighty beard and a good head of hair, 3 hands and 1 heart (aka the Richley brothers) do their best to arrive safely in Oregon City. One way or another, this trip comes to its conclusion and seeks to answer one of life's greatest mysteries; do they have hookers in Fort Walla Walla? Feast your ears and find out! Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Fresh off the heels of only losing one party member, the Richley boys lead a healthy-ish portion of the Saved by the Bell crew on their way west along The Oregon Trail. Along the way, they begin to discover how many times one person can get dysentery and still live, how much ammunition one thief can take and what's happening to all of their clothes? Lace up your livestock, we're going west!

The boys are back on the one and only Oregon Trail again. This time, they've taken some of their favorite Saved by the Bell characters with them. So lace up your boots, saddle up your oxen and let's head west...also...someone dies.

In this "bonus" episode, the Richley boys wax nostalgically (and possibly intelligently) about video games of the past and present, some of their fondest memories and why they enjoy video games in general.

It's a Haledjian Halloween with the Richley boys! Joe and John slip on their cardigans and try to solve another Two-Minute Mystery, but not before an anti-Zack Morris rant, a Dark Helmet house call and an inebriated Ohioan who can't tell the difference between cars and trucks is discussed. Feast your ears!

In what can only be described as "the most majestic moment in human history", the Richley boys set their sights on the heavens. The brothers waste no time in discussing their varying fruit-based opinions and seek to answer the age-old question, "Could Indiana Jones survive Jurassic Park?". All this and little else in the latest installment! Feast your ears!

The Richley boys continue their quest to slowly bring Typhoid and other communicable diseases to the west as they answer the call of The Oregon Trail. One way or another, their journey ends.

Without any "people" to discuss, it's Oregon or bust for the Richley boys. It isn't long before things go wildly off the t-rails though. In this installment, Joe has varying success with hunting, the oxen have some issues, multiple thieves steal multiple items, one turtle contracts Typhoid and one shoves off this mortal coil. Sometimes, the journey is the destination and, sometimes, all your clothes are stolen.

Who wants some hotcakes? With some thiccc oxen and a dream, the Richley brothers re-attempt The Oregon Trail. This time, they bring Splinter and the boys along with them. Unsurprisingly, troubles (read: a fever, a broken leg and apparently losing west) abound. Saddle up...because time flies when you're on the trail!

The Richley brothers may be operating with "a 30 pack of Natty Lite idea", but they're off to the trails with a re-zested Walk Outs segment and what will only be an ill-fated trip to Oregon. Go west!

Welcome to Season 5, one and all, and an episode that is "not, not the worst". The Richley boys unveil a re-zested FMK (think: Gary Busey) and a brand-new, if not stolen, segment tentatively called, "Would they survive?". Join the brothers for all of this, a new Floridian role model and an emoji check...feast your ears!

The Richley boys put a fork in Season 4, but at a price. Joe has some very difficult decisions to make and John comes to a hard realization about his childhood. All of this and some shenanigans from two Floridian motorists. Feast your ears!

The boys are looking to close out the season with the classics and you know what that means. Absurd FMK and Walk Out segments. Ahh the hits. This is all, of course, after Joe recalls the time he tried to stop a shoplifter and ended up impersonating a T1000. Have you seen this boy? Have you heard this episode?

Recording from thousands or possibly just hundreds (how far away is Texas??) of miles away, the Richley brothers are serving up a Lone Star State portion of podcast goodness. John has "Flanders on the brain" as Joe leads a MadLibs experiment that goes array and the boys hop onto John's Sleuthing Shelf and contend with a hot, hot mystery. Feast your ears!

The Richley boys dip into the archives a little and discuss cheesecake in a Golden Girls MadLib as well as Muppetifying one of the greatest sports movies of all time. Forget the curveball, Ricky, give 'em the heater!

The Richley boys are shimmying and hoisting, doing their best to uncork this thing with a tattooed Floridian, a dip into Joe's Mystery Corner and the conclusion of the Ninja ChooseCo-verse. Will the "time heist" work? Will the fires of Mount Doom be found? Will the Death Star be destroyed? Gird your loins and feast your ears!

With May 4 looming, the Richley brothers do their best to bring some Star Wars content so hot it'll make Tatooine feel like Hoth. If that analogy makes any sense, ignite those lightsabers, start up those speeder bikes and feast your ears!

The Richley brothers return with another installment in the ChooseCo Ninja Saga, but not before discussing a Floridian Tarzan impersonator and mini-golf with a legendary movie character. Buckle up!

The Richley brothers celebrate their mom's birthday with a number of questions...What is a zord of dinosaurs? What is the opposite of Captain Planet? How many times will John cry in one episode? Feast yours ears, "this whole episode is nonsense."

As the end of another season slowly creeps up on the boys, they try their hands at another D&D MadLib and another Two Minute Mystery. All this add a holiday themed Floridian vigilante. Feast your ears!

Hyped for the return of one of their favorite Saturday morning cartoons, the Richley boys talk some X-Men via a specialized FMK and some Lego minifigure reveals. Calling all mutants! Suit up!

Feeling ambitious, the Richley boys seek to put an end to The Lost Ninja saga once and for all, solve a mystery in John's Sluethin' Shack, prove definitively that "podcasting is for babies" and answer the ever existential question..."can't I conch in peace?". Hold onto your butts and feast your ears!

The Richley brothers are "looking for Tony" in this latest installment as Lionel Richie comes up big in a Walk Out segment and the Ninja saga continues (and has the boys looking for two witches or sorceresses or political science majors). No one is sure, no one is safe. Enjoy!

The Richley boys get back to the basics and bring a unexpectedly dark Florida man, an FMK with a Golden Girl and the continuation of the Ninja saga to the Nerd-cave. Will they finally go back in time to save the clock tower and listen to Huey Lewis and the News?! Feast your ears and find out!

In a bizarre twist of events, Chris and John ended up hosting this installment together. Sans Joe, the duo discusses The Zaner's favorite James Cameron movies. Spoiler alert: Not Avatar

Happy New Years, everyone! The Richley brothers welcome long-time contributor/Zaner, Chris, back into the Nerdcave to talk about tattoos. The boys have share the stories behind their favorite tattoos and talk about what they have planned next….and a special shoutout to Alex at tatgod.com (if you find yourself in northeast Ohio and looking for some art, look him up)

The Richley brothers have a holiday treat in the form of a brand new podcast. The boys have been working for the past few months to create something different for the universe. Listen in to this sneak peek of Episode 1 of what will be The Infinite Brick. Fear not, Joe and John will be back to their typical shenanigans in two weeks.

In what can only be described of as "an awakening", the Richley brothers return. The boys make some plans for February 24, 2024, delve even deeper into Joe's love for La Bamba and patiently wait to go back in time.

The Richley boys are back in the Nerdcave and back to their regularly scheduled shenanigans. Listen in as the brothers discuss a curious Floridian burglar, swoon over everything Keanu Reeves and discover the name of their ninja sensei. Surely, you don't want to miss this!

Put up your feet, grab some left over candy and snuggle up because the Richley boys look back and talk about some of their favorite parts of Halloween. Yep, they're a little late. But are you really surprised? Enjoy! Dedicated to the crew from our earliest trick-or-treating days on Skywae...you know who you are

After a brief Coming to America rabbit trail, the Richley brothers return with Florida's greatest Jenga player, a spook-tacular D&D Madlib, and a belly flop back into the ChooseCo-verse. Put on your kimonos, we're headed back to ninja-town!

The Richley brothers are back in the Nerd-cave and, despite the "pending dead air", are in three-wheel motion. Listen to the boys as they lay out their own meta-verse in a Walk-out segment and actually solve a crime in Joe's Mystery Corner.

As recently achieved and self-dubbed centenarian podcasters, the Richley boys try their hands at remote recording again. With Joe in Cleveland researching new sponsorships, the brothers put together an episode consisting of various Shaggy's, terrible Caribbean accents and John's Sleuthing Shed. Tune in! Or don't! You're busy, no worries!

In an emotional and psychological tour de force, the Richley boys run through a 64 person bracket to answer the age-old question, who is the Florida-est Florida person? To quote John Arnold, "Hold onto your butts!" To our listeners: We'd like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for coming this far with us. We hope you'll continue on wherever that journey leads. There are a lot of wonderful, mind-blowing, funny, inspiring podcasts out there. The idea that you give us some of your precious little time is greatly appreciated and never forgotten. To our family: Thank you so much for giving us the time and support you do. This podcast simply wouldn't exist without you.

In the midst of sprucing up his garage, Joe found a plastic tote chalk full of some of the brothers' childhood toys. Take a nostalgic trip with the boys and reminisce about some fun 90s icons like G.I.Joe, TMNT, M.A.S.K. (that's a lot of acronyms) and more! Remember, knowing is half the battle!

The Richley boys are off to the races as they near in on 100 episodes. What do you get when you combine Dr. Haldejeen, some other dudes and the wild west? The brothers aren't sure either, but they do their darn tootin-est to find out. Also, what is Emperor Palpatine's Christian name? All this and more (or less) in the latest installment.

On a dark and rainy night, two brothers set out to record an episode to a podcast...For real, enjoy the stormy ambiance as Joe and John decide to play mini-golf with a wrestling legend and attempt to continue their "streak" in another installment of Joe's Mystery Corner. Oh! Yeah! Apparently hot dogs are weapons in Florida now?! Content warning: In the Two-Minute Mystery, a suicide is falsified to cover up a murder. The National Suicide Crisis Lifeline is available in both English and Spanish 24 hrs a day by dialing 988.

The Richley boys welcome the preeminent "Zaner", Chris, back into the Nerd Cave (patent pending) to discuss a Walk-Out segment chalk full of fabulous '80's music and possibly the most "interesting" case in Joe's Mystery Corner. Listen in for what feels like "Burt Reynolds playing D&D". Whatever that means.

Chris, everyone's favorite "Zaner", is back in town and joins the boys as they try to decide whether a number is a 3 or a 5 before going down a rather quick rabbit hole of 7 Mary 3 songs. Special treats ensue as the Florida man causes Joe to spit his water out and Ted Lasso fans can rejoice in the latest FMK.

Welcome back, dear listeners, and buckle in for an episode which has it "all". Provided, of course, you define "all" as having multiple meanings, including but not limited to: 1 Joe's Mystery Corner; 2 John's new Italian persona and 3 A succinct encapsulation of the plot for Avengers: Infinity War. If this weren't enough, the Richley boys also define a new part of the body, sure to worm its way into any future Mad-lib excursions.

Thievery and mystery abound as the Richley brothers, "all wiped up and clean", take on a Floridian crossbow thief and Muppet-ifying a classic burglary caper, Oceans 11. Finally, fresh off their character's impaling in The Tattoo of Death, the boys do their best to solve a disappointing mystery as they revisit Joe's Mystery Corner. Put on your sleuthin' caps, folks!

In this, the third installment of the fourth season, the Richley boys harken back to their roots with a "quality" mad-lib involving both the late, great Burt Bacharach and Joe's best "Dorothy" voice. The epically expositional Tattoo of Death finally reaches its conclusion...with a laser! Finally, yet another sponsor is revealed. In a word? Costner. But before any of this takes place, John displays his podcasting skills by actually sneezing during the recording and landing the title of the episode.
