39 Episodes

25 minutes | Mar 13, 2015
#39: Endings (Get Off My Fish)
Help keep us from crying this week, as Steve and Andrea talk about Two and a Half Men, Saudi Arabian celebrities, farts, and the end of the road for the show. Our last episode!
28 minutes | Mar 6, 2015
#38: Television (Do I Want to be Snooki?)
Are you still watching? Grab your remote, pop some corn and sprawl out on the couch, because Steve and Andrea are talking about America's true pastime this week, Television. Watch as Steve stars in "Tyler Perry's TMI with Steve Romain," and tells the story about how he became the villain of a real-life reality show (that's actually a true story). Binge on House of Cards, and debate the artistic merits of quality American nonfiction like Shark Tank versus Jersey Shore. What is art, really? But seriously, someone needs to talk to Andrea about House of Cards.

#37: Hangovers (Swipe Right on the Fonz)
Guys, we had a little too much at last night's Happy Hour and now we can't. We just can't today. Lie down on the couch with Andrea and Steve as they chat about hangovers--in very quiet voices. Is this what it feels like when doves cry? It's so loud! We can't tell if the hangovers are getting more frequent because we're getting older or we're just drinking more often. Better stuff your face with WonderBread and hope that you don't end up spewing Joel's Crazy Goo all over Steve's apartment again. Turn that light off.  Where's the water? Buffalo chicken. Buffalo chicken. Buffalo chicken.

#36: Winter (Get Off My Snowpiercer)
Baby, your cheapest valentines are here and boy are they grouchy about all this cold weather. Come get seasonally affective with Steve and Andrea as they talk about their least favorite season, and wonder if it will ever be warm again. Throw back a hot toddy and grab your go-bag, Tina Turner, as we escape somewhere where we can salute the sun instead of sledding to work. Would we rather live somewhere cold all the time or be eaten by bears? The answer may surprise you, especially if Werner Herzog can narrate the mauling.

#35 Learning New Skills (Anything You Can Bake I Can Bake Better)
Forget about the fancy booklearnin' and learn some new skills with Andrea and Steve this week! We talk about how we learn, what types of skills we've been trying to learn by Googling them to DEATH and the skills that we know we'll never be able to learn. Steve, as a parkour addict and canoe craftsman? Andrea as a master card maker and graphic artist? See you out on the camping trail with our Coke can stoves. We'll have the half size hot dogs ready for you.
34 minutes | Jan 30, 2015
#34: Starting Over (Scooter and the Bean)
Come hang with Steve and Andrea at the AutoZone radio station--where all the hits are playing--as we figure out how to start over. Why start over when we're just getting used to regular over? What if, like Jamie Lee Curtis, we've never been regular over? What spurs you into becoming the person you want to be, or at least the person you tell other people you are? How do you limit your passion for breakdancing in order to follow through on starting over? Whatever you do, don't wrap yourself in foil. It gets really warm in there. And don't forget to change your pants.
27 minutes | Jan 23, 2015
#33: Being Productive (STEVE IS DEAD LONG LIVE STEVE)
It's time to get some work done (or just get guilty) with Andrea and Christopher Walken as Steve, in "Manchild: The Musical!." Come on down to the zone, AutoZone, with us as we talk tips, strategies and pitfalls to staying focused and checking things off your to-do list.  Make it rain Joy Dollars and unlock the secret to staying away from updates on #Biebergate -- we'll give you a hint, it involves a healthy dose of self-loathing.  How do you find time to wash your pants without putting it in your iCal? Give us a ring when you find out, Steve is apparently taking calls on air now.
32 minutes | Jan 16, 2015
#32: Getting Hired (Taken 7: Eagle of Nachos)
Like their good pal Liam Neeson, Steve and Andrea have a particular set of skills--unfortunately the only job they qualify us for is hitting the "Yes, I'm still watching" button on Netflix. Help Andrea land the entry-level jet pilot job of her dreams by rehearsing her interview entrance--smoke grenades, lightshow, or both? How do you prepare for an interview when your life is literally on the line? Later, overdose on caffeine and then cloak yourself in a shroud of mystery for salary negotiations, otherwise you'll never know what you could have gotten for that mummy position. Actually, have you thought about switching careers?
31 minutes | Jan 9, 2015
#31: Friendship (Do You Have A Pulse?)
Your friend just told you it's JNCO Jeans Friday, which means it's time to make some new friends. Let's climb the Aggro-Crag together as Steve and Andrea try to figure out how friendship works. You can make new friends by being a regular at Hipster Cheers, but don't become a regular at your friend's cubicle. How do you turn a work ally into a real friend -- without making it seem like a date? What are you supposed to do with friends once you have them? Pour some Franzia for a friendzia, because this might be a while.
27 minutes | Jan 2, 2015
#30: Resolutions (An Exercise in Self-Loathing)
All aboard the StupidTown Express! It's 2015 and Steve and Andrea are resolving to be less, well, like themselves. Help us lay the groundwork for a successful resolution strategy for our fitness, career, and bucket goals. Get lost in the empty aisles of Steve's mind as we try to figure out how to hold ourselves accountable (there's an app for that) and not hate ourselves in the process. Let's all retcon our resolutions by warping back to last year's New Year's party -- just don't pass out in the yard like you did last time.
30 minutes | Dec 26, 2014
#29: Going Home (I Want To Fail Forever)
We're coming home (coming, home, tell the world), and Steve and the were-bros are here to tell you all about it. Who doesn't like being cooped up in a house for a few days dodging super tasteful holiday decor and political conversations with Uncle Rick? Come hang out with old friends and family with a cup of hot cocoa and a little sentimentality --'tis the season, after all. After that's over, help us avoid people from our high school and their modern shart, until Steve's mom picks us up. I hope she brought chicken nuggets.
30 minutes | Dec 19, 2014
#28: Presents (Shout Out to my Bubble Buddies)
We've only got one shot at this before Andrea drives off a cliff, so let's get her something real nice by listening to this episode about gifts and gifting. Steve and Andrea talk about how overthinking a present can either lead to the destruction of a friendship (that bag of piranhas was a bad idea), or a bunch of individually wrapped Pringles, all just to hold the title of "The Friend Who Gives Good Gifts." Andrea tries to give you a bunch of her old garbage, but that's nothing compared to Steve's Worst Gift Of All Time. What do you get the Fonz for the holidays? Eh, just get him a gift card to Subway.
30 minutes | Dec 12, 2014
#27: Social Media (I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS)
Poke! Like! Share!  Andrea and Eddie Vedder get down on social media this week, because we haven't been poked in so, so long. Hang with us as Steve sits for his @BuffaloWildWings tattoo and we hash(tag) out the dos and don't of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more. When does self-promotion make you look needy? How much of social media is about projecting an image and how much is about actually talking to other people?   Can social media be used for something productive like news, or should it stay social?  I mean, we don't like the beach, but we'll gladly put our heads in the sand. 
28 minutes | Dec 5, 2014
Episode 26: Shopping (American Black Friday Ninja Warrior)
It's December, and seasonal depression is starting to set in, so indulge yourself in a little retail therapy with Steve and Andrea. Are you a Black Friday athlete or a Cyber Monday couch potato?  Help Andrea return 40 copies of Time Cop as Steve tries to find pants in the basement of Penn Station. Load up the Non-Butt Stuff Wagon with bunch of toilet paper from Amazon, but make sure to stay away from that "share on Facebook" button or everyone will know you've been on the pot for three days straight--except for Mr. Nespresso, of course. Mr. Nespresso knows everything.
26 minutes | Nov 28, 2014
#25: GOOF-A-MANIA
Steve and Andrea are snowed in this week, but nature could never stop our sweet, sweet comedy train.  Enjoy a special highlight reel from the last 24 episodes, including TGI-Fascism, the Oprahpocolypse, ACME-Halliburton, Dwayne 'the Shark' Johnson and more! Make sure your Mitt is up to code, get in your Swedish Metal Death Duck, and get your laugh on during your post-Thanksgiving travels.  After three straight days with Uncle Fridel Castro, you're going to need it.
30 minutes | Nov 21, 2014
#24: Thanksgiving (Who's Kid is This?!)
It's almost Thanksgiving, so don your gravy war paint, square off with John Rambo, and Slip-n-Slide into a pile of taters with Steve and Andrea! Sit at the kids' table with us while we discuss Thanksgiving dictators and detractors, how turkeys play football, and if the year Emeril Lagasse Old Yeller'd the chef was the best or worst year ever. Grab a piece of franken-turkey from James Lipton, but stay away from the Thanksgiving Creep--It's every man for themselves as we try to figure out America's wackiest holiday.
25 minutes | Nov 14, 2014
Episode 23: Freelancing (1-888-ANDREA-4U)
Call an Uber and let Steve drive you around as he and Andrea come up with creative ways to make a little extra beer money. Are you a kid-kicking, power-hungry czar of the bar? Renting out a haunted house on AirBnB? Or are you trying to use your side gig as a springboard to a whole new career as a professional Manservant? Party hop with Carrot Top for a while and then listen closely to all our moneymaking secrets. Oh, I'm sorry, where did you want Steve to take you? We're going to White Castle.
28 minutes | Nov 7, 2014
#22: Cooking (Edward Snowden's 10-Minute Eggs)
Steve and Andrea have eaten their way out of Shawsalad Redemption to cook you up a chili con carnival of comedic delight. Put Seamless in the friend zone as we bootleg, hack, and duct tape our way to an impressive meal of Mountain Dew chicken wings.  Whip up some Nightmare Bread from foodnetwork.tor as we discuss whether cilantro ruins friendships, how long man can survive on Big Macs, and whether any recipe that starts with the word "Oopsie" could ever be a good idea. Of course it can't. What's wrong with you?
31 minutes | Oct 31, 2014
#21: Halloween (It's A Duck, Duck Dynasty)
Walk softly through the graveyard with Andrea and Steve for this very spooky episode about America's goofiest holiday. Our hosts reminisce about costumes past: the good, the bad, and the oddly arousing; as well as parties, etiquette and whether God wears Birkenstocks. Plus, a super special Halloween contest! So grab the neighbor's kid and let's go trick or treating -- just stay away from David Blaine's house. That dude is we-e-e-eird. 
29 minutes | Oct 24, 2014
#20: Looking Good (I'm Here, I'm Purple, Get Used to It)
Steve and Andrea tackle the trials and tribulations of getting older, but not necessarily better looking in this episode all about looking your best. Our hosts go head-to-head with #FashionGrandpas and JNCO Jeans as they discuss what they can pull off, what risks they take, and how much they really care. Is stopping traffic still good if you look like a traffic cone? What candy do you use to appease a toddler mob boss? And what do hipster men and Mitt Romney have in common? Come see our world of suit-magination to find out!
