Episode 151 - 2018: The Year We Learned Things

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE

[NSFW WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT]

Happy New Years, Everybody! Today is our annual New Years Eve episode of the podcast!


Austin and I sat down and reflected on the whirlwind of a year that 2018 has been. With our first full year living in Los Angeles under our belts, we have a lot to look forward to in 2019. 

So often we see the circular post of "this past year was horrible, here's to next year" only to be repeated time and time again on New Years Eve. We've instead decided to look at how things may have beaten us up this year, and what we've learned and taken away from those experiences to make 2019 even better.


Our 2018 Instagram Top 9

We reflected on the some of the great times we've had, the awesome events we got to attend, and some of the new changes in our lives. We don't know what 2019 has instore for us, but we're ready for it. 

Thank you to everybody who has continued to support us this year! We hope everybody has a safe and Happy New Year. We look forward to sharing 2019 with you. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Episode 150 - Christmas 2018: Treevenge!

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE ON ITUNES HERE

[NSFW WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT]

Merry Christmas, Everybody! Today is our annual On the Mic Christmas Episode!

The Grove Christmas Lights in Los Angeles

Since moving to Los Angeles our Christmas Episode has changed a little, but it's still a bunch of holiday cheer and nonsensical ramblings. While Austin heads back to Utah for Christmas, Tim will be enjoying a lovely sunny Los Angeles Christmas.


Tim hanging out with The Grinch at Universal Studios Grinchmas

On the episode, we talked about our Christmas plans, new movies out for Christmas, our annual Christmas treat, gift exchange, giving back not just during the holidays, but all year, and so much more. Of course the Christmas Episode wouldn't be complete without Christopher James calling in with his terrible Christmas Horror Movie recommendation. This year's pick was "Santa Claws", with the honorable mention going to the short film, "Treevenge".  See the trailers below! 



We hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season with your family and loved ones. Thank you for your support this year. Stay tuned for our New Years Episode next week!

Merry Christmas! 

Enjoy the episode.

On today's episode I have comedian and writer, Max Kerwien!

Max and I first became friends while doing stand up and working at the Nerdist Showroom at Meltdown together. We always had such a great time at Meltdown and this was the first time we've had a chance to catch up since it closed back in March.
