Listen Now

WHAT THE..?? Yep, it's a special Day After Thanksgiving episode, featuring comedians Troy Gittings & Roger Haak. They're some of Herb's oldest comedy pals, and Troy was in town so it just made sense/was fun/easy. Until we all started talking. Anyways...enjoy! 

Hey look we're back..yeah, we know. It doesn't mean much. But don't let that keep you from having your soundholes pile-driven into shattered little hole-nubs by checking out Episode 20. We talk about all kinds of stuff like the bounty on Trump's head, and eventually even hear a new ad for Johnson's Meat Sauce. Enjoy, NOW!  

Hey kids, we're here with a new episode! Yeah we took a week off, but unlike your dad, we actually came back. This week we've got Denver's youngest comedian, Roger Stafford. Check it out..NOW. 

Well, well, well...look who's back. You, I mean. I'm surprised you're back. But also glad! This week Chad & Herb go without a guest and talk about some weird news stories before letting a new "segment" pretty much take over the entire show. But it's fun and there's actually a ton of great music on this one. What, do you hate music? Well then go back to Russia. Hurry! 

BEHOLD TODAY'S NEW EPISODE! Now that friend-of-the-show Satan Himself has stopped typing, we'd like to let you know that this week's guest is Denver actress & comedian Emily Coates!  This was Emily's first podcast ever, and she took to it like a duck to a flame. We talked about some disgusting Republicans (pretty redundant, sure), let Chad rail about this Berenstein/Berenstain Bears rip in space-time, and then let the soundboard carry the load. It's a fun one, so give it a listen while you remain both beautiful and intelligent*!  *classic pandering, stupid! 

Hey, kids! Please check out ep. 17 with Tulsa comedians Shawna Blake and Ryan Green. They came to Denver to have fun and ended up getting stuck in a sweaty basement with a couple of idiots. But then they came and did our podcast! Jokes. Go listen right now!  

Good Monday Morning, rubes! This week we've got Denver comedian Patrick Scott in the basement. We talk about all kinds of things, but most importantly, we discover that Patrick has a hard time climaxing without "Sabre Dance" playing in the background. Good to know! Enjoy.. 

Well, it's Monday morning and you want to die. But hold off on that, because we've got Denver comedian Josh Skillman for episode 15. We make Josh uncomfortable right off the bat, but he's soothed by the quiet assurance of Sarah McLachlan. It's a fun one, so if you don't enjoy it, your brain may have a broken leg or something. 

Good Monday Morning, kids! So, fair warning: This is probably our favorite episode of AtWB yet. For ep. 14 we've got Denver comedians, Rick Bryan and Roger Norquist. They co-host a great show called "Blazing Blunts" and Roger co-hosts another one called "Videogames". We have an extended chat about a couple of bad things happening, but mostly we just try to kill each other with laughing.  Like I said...maybe our raddest show yet. #herbertsaqueer

Good Monday Morning, psychos! This week marks the triumphant debut of guest host Andres "Plan B" Becerril while Herbert rots away in an Arkansas jail. We also managed to get Denver comedian Piper Shepherd down to the basement to talk shit about all kinds of things*.   *Apologies in advance for the unlicensed use of a Toby Keith song. But just so we're clear, I'm apologizing to your brains/ears, not to Mr. Keith's estate. 

We did it - the show's actually here on Monday morning! This week we force Denver comedian Jeremy Pysher into the Basement of Doom (that name will probably change) to talk about how shitty having epilepsy is, middle-aged Japanese virgins, and the horribleness of alchohol consumption.  Be sure to listen close for this week's audio easter egg - will your ears catch Herb's shocking confession?? Tune in to find out! 

  Hey kids! Sorry for the lateness this week, but if you don’t care, how are we supposed to? Anyways, this week we’ve lured Arkansas-based comedian Whitney Wasson down into the ‘Burns Hole (that name will probably change soon). We talk about the terrifying Plum Island Research Center being moved to Kansas, Whitney’s nearly-positive tuberculosis test, and a kid who died of The Plague like 40min from my house. Super comforting, as always. Thanks for listening! 

Hot gotdanged Monday mornin', y'all! This week we welcome reigning Denver Comedy Champion, Nathan Lund. Nathan is a a founding member of The Fine Gentleman's Club, championship belt holder, and overall decent human. We talk about that crazy attack on Dallas Police HQ/the coming war on cops, some scary shit about Yosemite's supervolcano, and Satan even stops by to endorse a great Oil Boom song. And stick around til the end to hear a Totally Sober Carlos apologize for last week's show, which you more than deserve. It's a good one! 

Good morning, ugmoes. Well, we're "back", sort of..  This week is episode "9.5" - we didn't have a guest and planned on doing  quick little 2-man show to post, but instead Chad's roommate, Carlos did us a favor and got reeeeeeaally drunk at Jazz in the Park and got home just in time to be handed a live microphone (right before he ate one piece of pizza and passed out on a sofa).  Look, I feel like I need to warn you: this one is very NSFW. Not really for language or content, but nobody likes to hear a drunken Chicano screaming his head off from across the office. Don't try this shit at home, kids. We're total fucking pros. 

Happy Memorial Day, fellow layabouts! Well, as crazy as it sounds, we didn't take off for the holiday. Today we've got an all new episode with Denver comedian Anthony Crawford. Anthony moved from North Carolina a year ago and has cannonballed into the local comedy scene. His two shows, Amuse Booze and Talkin' Shop were instant Denver favorites, and he's got plans for like, total domination. Also, he told us one of the craziest stories we've ever heard.... So, we didn't plan on a "special Memorial Day episode" or anything, but Anthony accidentally sort of made it one by sharing with us the reason he started smoking cigarettes, on his first day of active duty in the Air Force. If you can guess, it fell on a pretty ominous date back in September of 2001. Listen to the show to hear the whole story, as well as a classic ad for Johnson's Meat Sauce. Beef queef! 

Good Monday Morning, chi'ren! We hope your weekends were filled with laughter and love and lots of candy cigarettes. Hey, did you guys see that crazy thing SNL did? Yeah, neither did we. Anyways, this week we welcome Denver comedian (is "comedienne" even a word still??) Timmi Lasley to the ATWB catacombs. Timmi is super busy around town hosting shows and crushing mics and making people named "Dave Chappelle" have to go ask someone else her last name because she doesn't have time for horseshit! So we're glad she was able to block out an hour of basement time for us. We get into some weird areas this episode, which is fine, but this one's definitely not for the under-18 crowd. Okay, none of our shows are, but this one...let's just say the "clitoris" word is mentioned and you may never want to see another puppy enthusiastially digging in a pillow again. That's your problem, though. Enjoy! 

Good Monday morning, loyal listener(s?)! We hope you spent some quality time yesterday with the woman whose privates you ruined by being born. Or if you're like Chad and don't have a mom, hopefully you got hammered and went to Cracker Barrel to throw eggs at happy families, like Chad did.  This week we welcome Denver comedian Andres Becerril. Andres had never been on a podcast before, so we were happy to have him in the basement, for a number of reasons. But mainly because he's a really funny dude, who isn't a dick. That's the main requirement, in everything, ever.  Listen to us yack up some funny shit about the terrifying aspects of nuclear power, why BOTH Koreas are dumb, this new #DopePope who's changing the game, one fresh rhyme at a time, and human trafficking. Please let us make your Monday morning less boring/more giggly. 

Hot, melty Monday to you, loyal listeners! This week we've got Denver's own "Mayor of Comedy"* and all-around hustler Jeff M. Albright (@jeffmalbright). Jeff is a stand-up comedian and organizer extraoirdinaire, running the 5280 Comedy website as well as the terrific weekly open mic & monthly showcase at Goosetown Tavern.  During his visit to The Basement (now a proper noun, with its own terrifying backstory), Jeff talked wise about some scary dinosaur cloning scenarios and the super heroes that will likely have to save us all from our own creation(s). We also touched on earthquakes, as the Nepal 'quake had just happened. Our pre-recorded death toll is pretty low now, but maybe that'll cheer you up on a Monday.  Hey, want to ask us a question or hear us discuss a certain topic? If so, just shoot us an email at astheworldburnspodcast@gmail.com or tweet at us (is that the right verbiage??) at @AtWBPodcast. Ok, I'm sick of typing. Go!  *Herbert-professed

Good Monday morning, folks. It's true - we survived the horror of April 20th in Denver, and we're back to knock the socks off your ass with another brand new episode. This week we welcome Denver comedy favorite (and soon-to-be West Coaster) Chris Charpentier to the AtWB basement to talk about cults, The Man, and some other hilarious things. We were really lucky to get Chris on the show before he moves to L.A. (Los Angeles, for the rubes) and as usual, he was pretty great. If you want more of Charpie's greatness in your life - and trust us; you do - take a peek at some of his best work here, here, and even the debate performance that actually convinced Chad to leave OKC, right here. Chris is a Denver institution and will be missed dearly by close to a dozen people, but maybe he's the comedian that Los Angeles deserves. Finally.

A good Monday to you, loyal listener(s). We hope your weekend was sexually fortuitous. It probably was. This week we welcome down to the basement Denver writer/comedian Byron Graham. Between writing great articles for Westword and hitting every comedy stage in town, Byron somehow found the time to come talk about serial killers with us for an afternoon.  We normally do three topics per episode, but this one was just too damn juicy to stop. I mean, there's a framed mugshot of Ted Bundy in the AtWB studios, you know? So this was right up our alley. We talk about what makes a serial killer "official", active killers that may be near you, the most (un)famous female killers, and some other even funnier things, I hope.  So join us for a long walk down a short, dark road. If Herbert ever decides to frame Chad for 1st-degree murder, it's going to be pretty easy after this show.
