Podcast Town

Rob shares his unbelievable Black Friday discounted find with Chris, and it just might launch this podcast into the stratosphere.

We test out some AI generated theme songs for the podcast and then try to get the real Gumby and Pokey on the phone. 

We're very excited to announce that this year's Halloween episode is sponsored by JC Penney. Unfortunately, the JC Penney corporation sent a (quite creepy) representative to monitor us and ensure we represent their brand appropriately. 

On a very special in-person recording session, we play a podcast hosted by two survivalists who show you how to sustain yourself out in the wilderness. Plus, Chris & Rob mourn the end of short king summer.

Today we check in on one of the first podcasts we ever played on Podcast Town - "Word To Your Mother", hosted by the Clippy the paper clip. On this episode, he sits down with Microsoft Copilot AI and the conversation gets tense. 

Today's featured podcast is Dr. Pete, hosted by a kindly southern psychologist who helps his guests "turn their life around". On this episode he tries to help troubled youth Bobby, but Bobby may or may not be just trying to go viral with his catchphrases. Plus, Chris & Rob reenact Seinfeld.

To celebrate the beginning of football season, Chris surprises Rob by bringing his old high school football coach on as a special guest for the episode.

Today's featured podcast is a debate show where host Billy Burke takes on challengers on a wide variety of topics. Billy may have met his match in this episode, though, as he debates two guests - Roger Moore and Bill Kaminski from Santa Fe, NM.

Today’s featured podcast highlights the internet’s most infamous YouTube commenters. This episode is an exclusive interview with “Teletubby Todd”, who has been making controversial comments for nearly two decades. Plus, Rob struggles with turning 40. 

On a wild episode of Gumby, Pokey requests Gumby’s help to fix his farm which is being terrorized by a syringe-wielding gopher. 

Plus, we try to interpret the lyrics to Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”.

Erika joins us to share her thoughts on Soulja Boy AND watch a truly momentous installment of Gumby. In the show’s 3rd episode, “The Little Lost Pony”, we are introduced to Pokey and get our first appearance of THE BLOCKHEADS. Are they Gumby’s enemies? Does Gumby dress like a cowboy in this episode? Did Erika ever get stuck in a steakhouse bathroom as a child? Listen to find out all this and more! 

We are back to talk about AND watch Gumby. In "Mirrorland", we learn a little more about Gumby's home life as he runs an errand for his mom who famously has big boobs. Plus, we dig into what some YouTube commenters have to say about this episode.

Watch along with us at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUHyZt_NY7k 

Today’s podcast examines the billionaire class and whether it is inherently immoral to amass such wealth when poverty still affects so many around the world. Plus we discuss the live action Lilo & Sititch movie. 

On this very special Gumby podcast, we tear the bandaid off and stop just talking about Gumby - we finally LEARN about Gumby. 

We do this by watching the 1956 Pilot episode of Gumby and, boy, is it weird.

Find out if any of our theories were correct and watch the first episode of Gumby (called “Moon Trip”) along with us on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wt87rvCPViQ?si=FNkejJHsn45Nm8dX

We found a little-known podcast from 5 years ago hosted by the man who eventually became the new leader of the Catholic church - Pope Leo himself. Set in Chicago, this podcast (weirdly enough called "The Pope") centers around then Father Bobby's quest to open a high-end church in the wake of his brother's passing. But can his deadbeat cousin and ragtag staff pull it together enough to impress the Cardinal who is coming to review the next mass? 

Today’s podcast follows several police officers who are mic’d up on their patrols. You might not believe this, but it turns out some of their interactions are a little weird. 

Plus, we get a new signoff phrase for the show. 

It's an episode 10 years in the making...the 10th anniversary of our first podcast ever!

Guests Erika and Steve, who were both there for the first show in 2015, join us to discuss our experiences recording that inaugural episode and all the various podcasts and milestones we've hit since then. Then we take a victory lap by watching and commenting on the first episode of season 9 of Family Matters (the same ep from our first show) and even find out whether Scott Stapp had anything to say about it. 

Don't miss this momentous occasion for the w...

Once again our feed has been hacked by the two Yankee fans who tried to steal a fly ball from the Dodgers in the World Series. Now officially banned from all MLB games, they are apparently doing another podcast to kick off the 2025 MLB season. Hear what they've been up to since October, their plans to sneak back into Yankee Stadium, and how things are going with their only caller, Frankie on the car phone.

Today we welcome a very special guest to the show - none other than McDonaldland's own purple...thing: Grimace. Hear about Grimace's new podcast, his struggles with substance abuse and being a nepo baby, and some close connections he has to Chris & Rob. But, is it the real Grimace? Or just a guy in a suit? 

Today's episode gets hijacked by longtime friend / pest of the show, Martii. Turns out he has a new job and has started a brand new festival with some surprising results.

Today’s featured podcast is a support group for anyone going through the struggle in these trying times of being cut out of a vast inheritance from your extremely rich dad. 

Today's featured podcast is The Bo Hogan Experiment, a show dedicated to promoting the alternative thoughts and theories from somewhat questionable guests. Plus, we discuss the postal service and even land a new sponsor. 

Today we’re joined by friend of the show and actor / screenwriter Jay, who tells all about his exciting forthcoming project: the official Gumby reboot. Then we perform a table read of the pilot episode, which features all of your favorite Gumby characters...and some surprises.

A podcast hosted by partners at a law firm who offer legal advice to callers. Plus, Chris regrets his New Year's resolution.

For today's episode, we found a podcast that only gets released on Boxing Day. Turns out the hosts are Podcast Town regulars Roger Moore and Bill Kaminski, and their Boxing Day traditions are not what you'd expect.

The annual holiday special is here! This time, Rob narrates the story of a memorable Christmas from his childhood, when life was simpler and the only present he wanted was something all the adults around him warned was too dangerous: an explicit album. Through all the ups and downs of the holiday season, we are reminded to cherish our close friends and loved ones. Or in Rob’s case - his Mom’s cousin, Joey. 

Today we feature a podcast from friend / foe of the show Martii showcasing the all the Black Friday deals at Trader Joe's this year. But there is more going on at the Tallahassee Trader Joe's than meets the eye.

After more than a year since episode 99, we are officially doing the 100th episode of Podcast Town (aka Chris & Rob Talk About Other People's Podcasts). You're welcome!

For this momentous occasion, we play a never-before heard podcast that happens to be the 2nd podcast ever recorded. We found it in a box from 1985 on a cassette tape next to the first podcast ever recorded (which we played way back on episode 1). It's called: P.O.D.C.A.S.T. 

Plus, we hear from some bonus special guests at the end of the show.

Dear Listeners, 

Our podcast got hacked Wednesday night by those two Yankee fans who tried to grab the ball from Mookie Betts' glove during World Series Game 4. They did a whole podcast on our feed while watching Game 5 live. I wish we had something else to play for you today but unfortunately we don't, so this one is for you sports heads out there. 

Could this the most niche episode of our podcast or any podcast ever? You be the (Aaron) judge!

- Chris & Rob

It's time once again to talk about Gumby. Today we welcome special guest Steve to the podcast to discuss Halloween songs, nude cartoon characters, and purgatory. But will we learn anything new about Gumby? And if so, is any of it true? We'll never know!

At long last, Chris & Rob complete their epic journey to see Creed live in concert. 

Follow along as they record their experience before, during, and after the show and answer all your burning questions: How was the pre-show pizza? Did Scott Stapp mention Step by Step during the performance? And how do you pronounce the word “amphitheater”? This is the episode that is guaranteed to take you HIGHER! 

Today we bring you and exclusive sneak preview at the newest season of Bravo’s Below Deck. This episode, believe it or not, takes place on Creed’s Summer of ‘99 Cruise and follows the ship’s crew as they set sail from Miami. 

We deep dive once again into the world of Gumby, dropping a major bombshell as we reveal once and for all COLOR OF POKEY.

It's the thrilling conclusion of our "to be continued" episode in which we relate Creed's hit song "With Arms Wide Open" to the S4 finale of Step by Step where Carol has her baby - but the way in which the two relate may shock you. Plus, Erika is back to talk about Real Housewives, her old screen names, and we reveal a rival Step by Step podcast we recently discovered - but it's hosts may shock you. That's right, two shocks in one episode!

Did Chris & Rob see Creed live in concert like they've been hyping for the past year? Will Carol have her baby on the Step by Step S4 finale? Does Erika still love Finger Eleven? Erika joins to talk about all this and more on a momentous, epic, legendary episode of Step by Stapp.

It's the last episode before we attend the big Creed reunion concert, so that means a final check on Creed ticket news. Will prices drop low enough for us to feel good about buying them and not like we're spending hundreds of hard-earned dollars on a joke? You'll have to listen to find out!

Plus, we watch S4 E23 of Step by Step where underage Al Lambert gets creeped on by dudes at a college party, then we artfully correlate Scott Stapp's 2019 song "Red Clouds" to said episode.

Today we discuss Rob’s clothing choice for the recording session, fancy YMCAs, and Chris’s method for getting custom hot dogs at Costco. 

Then, we hear Scott Stapp’s 2024 ballad “Weight of the World” and watch S4 E22 of Step By Step where J.T. opens an illegal daycare in his parents’ house. 

Today we analyze the episode of Step by Step where Brendan meets his favorite baseball player and figure out how Scott Stapp wrote the song “When Love is Not Enough” about it. 

Today we watch yet another horny episode  of Step by Step, discuss the song Scott Stapp wrote about it, and try to get press credentials to see Creed in concert.

This episode was brought to you on schedule despite the best efforts of would-be saboteurs who did not want you to hear what we have to say. Though the recording session encountered a series of obstacles, we were not silenced. We persevered, and we are here today to tell you about the episode of Step by Step where Cody gets shocked every time he says the word “dude” and how that episode influenced Scott Stapp’s 2024 song, Dancing in the Rain ✊
