Two Lubbock almost-comedians talk too much about things.
Hey, hi, here's a new episode! We talk to musician, philanthropist, and all around badass Torrie Lane about everything from learning to let go to the CLITS. XOXO and C U Next Tuesday friends!
Hey friends, in person podcast episode with Mr Sweat AKA Eric/Sherrod Hightower! Mental health, toothless blow jobs, and family dinners with dad on this in depth convo with the one and only "Mr 280 to be a lady."Paul wants to know would you wear a diaper? And Selena wants to remind you about your spiritual sweet 16. XOXO and keep your mind off that bullshit!
Batten down the hatches y'all! We're back with another episode featuring JJ Howell! We talked about ice cream obsessions (sponsor us J's Creamery), his starbucks cup collection, and then we get real serious about mental health. Remember kids, it's not the end of the world, unless it is. Keep washing those hands because it's just the nice thing to do! XOXO
Jake Baker is a fresh pretty face in the Lubbock comedy scene. He's a burger/no cheese, waffle/no syrup kind of guy and he's here to teach us a little about writing every day and defying oddness since high school. You can follow him down an alley and admire his glutes but you cant follow him on social media because he's a libertarian aka a bipartisan serial killer. Get on his level! XOXO, wear your mask and hold your farts in public because it's the nice thing to do, ya meatheads!
Part Tres with bonus host Steven! We're all in lesbians with Jayden Dodson on this episode because he has no internal monologue and he's crushing those dick ups! IDK what that means honestly but maybe that was my fault? Anyways you cant find him on social media but you can find Paul and his crocs, Selena and her endless social justice worrierism, and Steven and his new bird on insta, FB, and twitter. XOXO and remember to shrink your circumstance whenever you can!
Part Deux of episode 29 with our bonus host Steven Feldman! We chat with our favorite bemidjian bisexual Chrissy Covington about how her cat's a perv, being a night farter, and TVP (which is in fact, not an STD). Sit down and grab some carrots and enjoy the show! XOXO
THREE PART EPISODE! Steven Feldman, the artist also known as the Prince of Puns, is our bonus host for this saga of conversational podcasting. This is Part 1 with Matt Villegas, a veteran podcaster/comedian/anti-cardio activist. It's a fucking Croc bro! Find clemente's corner wherever you find your pods and put on a house show because it's gotta last forever, right?! XOXO and do the right thing!
Bathroom anxiety, underfunded school districts, and vaginal energy. We talk about all that and more with comedian and teacher (the ONE and ONLY) Corey Evans! From Lubbock, to Chicago, to Houston and back, he steady stays teaching and telling jokes. Don't find him on social media though, he's gotta keep his job at *redacted* middle school. Thanks for listening, and keep telling your emotional truth, unless that truth is that you want to fuck a dog then keep that shit to yourself! XOXO and wear your masks you monsters!
We're talking blacking out, biking, and bone cones with our friend Val Burba in our nastiest episode yet! She's not fucking her dog, she kind of believed in god, and arent relationships so hard!?

XOXO and please reach out if you need someone to talk to Rest in Peace and Laughter J.H.
Our longest episode ever and Paul has never been so quiet! We had a very in-depth discussion with local activists and organizers Nanci Glitterati and Kirsten Davis. We hit on our own personal experiences with law enforcement, racial injustice, and some of the goals of Lubbock Activists Striving to End Racism (LASER). Also, Selena has so many problematic favs! So much talk! Never forget PRIDE is a RIOT and let's Defund the Police XOXO
If you're looking for a distraction from matters that you should definitely be paying attention to, here's a show we did with Michael Pasvar of the DFW area. He's a comedian, a father, and a #juicyjogger. He talked to us about what it's like to be cast as a douchebag college guy, how to find shows in Big Spring where the milk is plentiful, and his new hashtag taking over finspo insta. Pretty sure Paul wants to have sex with him, and Selena is too occupied by the BLM movement against police brutality to have much else to talk about at the moment. Join the #JuicyJogger nation and punch a local racist today! XOXO and VIVE LA RESISTANCE!
BONUS EPISODE! Talking about where we draw the line when it comes to controversial comedy with the low-key verbal assassin himself, Aaron Durbin.
