Two absolute working-class nobodies from Southern California with no formal qualifications to credibly talk about anything - politics, pop culture, sports, current events, etc. - yet think they're more qualified to talk about all of those things because they do it with food and beverages!

  • Good as Poo (Ep. 58)
    Mar 17 2026

    ORIGINALLY RECORDED DECEMBER 2025:

    Have you ever felt like the products you loved are getting worse for the sake of more money? Travis & Tom talk about the Enshitification phenomenon! And yes, that is a real word - they talk about that too!

    CORRECTIONS:

    • 6:16: Travis meant to say “FTC” (Federal Telecommunications Commission), not SEC (Security Exchange Commission - or Southeastern Conference if you’re a sports fan).
    • 15:03 - They still do this. After this episode was recorded, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was released and received backlash over players being required to always have an internet connection even when playing the campaign solo (with no save checkpoints or ability to pause the game).

    Mar 10 2026

    Hollywood is about to have one less studio as Paramount Skydance is set to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. But how did we get here? In this super long and detailed episode, Travis takes Tom through the zig-zaggy history of these two storied institutions from the silent film era to the beginning of television to the origins of cable television.
