How could a bastardized version of history with School House Rock-level rap become the "greatest work of art of the 21st-Century"? The boys plunge head-first into Hamilton and barely make it out alive. Enjoy!
We do an ep but more importantly we completely predicted that Weird Al and Lin-Manuel Miranda would work together back in May. The nightmare world continues!

It's another duo book club episode! Curl up next to the fire, forget Coronavirus, and listen to some literal out of this world content from Ray Bradbury as well as hellish drug-fueled New York stories from Hubert Selby Jr. Enjoy!
Better late than never, but the boys crack open a tube of cookie dough, uncork a bottle of wine, and sob to discuss BoJack Horseman - the man, the horse, the legend. Enjoy!
It's time for another Will/Kris duo episode to discuss two ridiculously overcomplex novels. If you thought we were above sci-fi and fantasy then you are classist and should NOT be listening to the best takes on the planet.
The boys may be late to the party but the takes remain hot! Delve inside the hysteria of Uncut Gems, Oscar Season predictions (many of them wrong) and HBO's head-scratching, Alan Moore-less Watchmen show. We keep the internet's lights on.
The decade is wrapped a little later for the timewasters, the only things that apparently mattered were OJ Simpson, South Park, and Terrence Malick. The only take you need to have on the 2010s is here!
The boys are finally back in town to discuss what's most important: QWOP, and its political and emotional ramifications as well as its Marxist potential. Lucky for you this one isn't a patreon exclusive.

The boys run the gamut of culture in this HAWT ep. The pleasing drone tones of a band called Earth, the pleasures of Canadian cartoons with Total Drama Island, and a mysterious anime that mixes Duck Tales with Men in Black... enjoy!

THE BOYS R BACK IN TOWN. All 3 Texas co-hosts finally reunite to discuss the addictive nature of runaway hit game Stardew Valley (chicken included), the comically evil Bohemian Grove, and Slipknot's new, necessary, and masterful album. ***Stardew Valley chicken is now the official Tejas mascot.
With Kris's questionable return looming over the Texas boys heads, they are joined by author Aatif Rashid to discuss his new novel "Portrait of Sebastian Khan" as well diving into the perverse pleasures of the Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy rabbit hole and what to do when Twitter starts to melt your brain. Politics! Twitter! Internet! Books! What more could you want from a millennial podcast?
Another twofer from the boys sans Kris sees them cry on each other's shoulders as they discuss Lena Dunham's groundbreaking and profoundly misunderstood GIRLS as well as the pleasures of the harem anime canon with NYAN KOI. rip Kris btw
The search for Kris continues in vain as the spurned Tejas boys push through tears to discuss the bizarre, expensive Treasure Planet and Muppet Treasure Island as well as the now-strange historical footnote that is the Lindbergh Baby case... In honor of Hobbs and Show, we go Fast and Furious with the title here. Have you actually seen Hobbs and Shaw? It's great.
With Kris officially missing, the boys forge ahead with special guest Luke (@LukeSkyWacka) to discuss the wholesome laughs of Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias's new Netflix show, the exhausting hustle of being a freelance editor in a gig economy cesspool, and finally how bad that horrible movie Booksmart is. And if you have seen Kris please DM us!
The boys are not only back in town but joined by music savant and #1 fan of the pod Grant (@thelinernotes)to discuss Vampire Weekend's favorite sample Haruomi Hosono and his prolific output, Adult Swim's newest dose of sweet beauty Joe Pera Talks With You, and Beach House's stunning dream pop album Devotion. Oh, and we got the best take on Marianne Williamson on the internet.

Smash that subscribe button for more of the best takes on the internet!
IN A WORLD where Aaron's computer dies before his eyes, Will and Kris must forge ahead to discuss the unending pleasures of the NBA Finals and the beauty of basketball while also reminiscing about the explosive apocalypse of the 90s that was Woodstock '99.
With Kris off in the throes of summer vacation, Aaron and Will are left all by themselves to talk in depth about the gentle and idiosyncratic anime feature "A Silent Voice" as well as Tyler, the Creator's strangely beautiful new album IGOR. This is all a lie - we actually do a shot-for-shot analysis of the unjustly maligned 2008 John Cusack-starring family classic iGOR. Get on our level.
Summer is finally here and spirits are high! The boys officially tackle Game of Thrones and its ridiculously angry fans as well as Netflix's actually funny "I Think You Should Leave", and Vampire Weekend's groovy dad rock record "Father of the Bride".
More secrets are revealed as Kris officially comes out as a Harry Potter novice and reads for the first time! The boys discuss the books vs. the movies, the massive politics behind mobile phone game Rebel, Inc., and a novel that mixes Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with the movie JFK. Oh, and true feelings regarding Putin are spilled. And what's so great about #gameofthrones anyway?
The Tejas boys officially have their first guest - Keith aka @keithWOaCrew joins to talk some of classic bits: Old Town Road, Yeehaw Invasion, Star Wars, as well as some emotional Kingdom Hearts venting and weird Henry Darger stuff. And, as always, #uncanceltheprequels
The time has finally come - having the best takes on the internet requires the boys to delve in to the frankly bizarre and unique George Lucas directed Star Wars prequels and defend them against the bland, fan-approved new movies by Emperor Disney.
It's gone too far this time - the boys discuss the rise of Tik Tok and memes/gifs in apps, as well as Old Town Road's ridiculous star power in creating this new...well we're not totally sure what Tik Tok is yet. Does anyone? Also includes instant classic takes on Inherent Vice with Joaquin Phoenix, and a new animu that may or may not be better than Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Wheel of Time, and Name in The Wind combined!
It's high time for the boys to unveil their own Yeehaw Agenda as they talk Old Town Road, country music in the mainstream, and the immortal Cowboy, as well as the sucking void of pop music in Vox Lux, and bleak, raw American movies of the 1970s. And, of course, defend auteur George Lucas's Star Wars prequels #uncanceltheprequels #jarjarwasevil
The boys are back to talk country - and not even that Lil Nas X guy (yet...) Plus some British TV that's actually funny, as well as some pioneering indie music from LA starlets Ryan Evans, Q-Bomb, and Jason Mayer.
The boys are back to share the mountain of support they've received online from Marvel stans and switch it up with a good dose of anxiety - villainous youtube algorithms, reclaiming Kanye from a rough 2018, and the pitch-black shadow Vietnam still holds over us. Standard millennial shit. Also our eps are gonna be shorter from here on out so stop complaining to us plz ty.
It's time for a mega-episode! The boys go to bat for James Blake, You on Netflix, W.E.B. DuBois, PAN's ambient Mono No Aware album, and Angels in the Outfield prequel Wings of Desire. Shots are indiscriminately fired at Fyre Fest, the Fyre Fest Docs, and the mouthwatering possibilities of Elon Musk and Grimes' sex life.
The boys get all mushy for an obsolete "file sharing" service, self-sufficient pets, horse movies, apps that reflect our desperation back at us, Seinfeld, and John Hughes. Eh not John Hughes he kinda sucks actually. Yeah seriously.
The boys are back on their bullshit in a raw new ep - Mad feels are given to hoaxers Milli Vanilli, nofap dorks, robot Ryan Goslings, anime superheroes, anxiety genius Aparna Nancherla, and blonde babe movie murderesses, along with the other best takes on the internet. #getfucky y'all
The boys leave no tea unspilled as they sink their teeth into the fake heroics of fake artists, the master of puppets of the LA theater scene, the nauseating love for Marvel and Stan Lee, and the latest from Eminem among many more incredibly interesting and entertaining things you can't get anywhere else.
