Chaos, unfiltered laughs, wild takes, and ZERO boredom guaranteed!
Ethan Klein Destroyed his Life!
Send us Fan Mail
The boys are back and this one goes OFF the rails 😂 We kick things off arguing about whether global warming is real (80 degrees in October, bro), then somehow land on NBA stars spending the summer with Buddhist monks, communism, and the big question: if you were dictator of the United States, what's your FIRST rule? One of us wants to pull out of every treaty and mail apology letters to the whole planet, the other has a "test" that gets him impeached live on air by his own Vice President 💀
From there...
Shane Gillis Was RIGHT?! 😳 w Vinny Scarpa
Send us Fan Mail
Episode 290 is here and we brought in NJ comedian Vinnie Scarpa to sit on our not-so-comfy couch 😂 We kick things off with a trip to the doctor’s office (aka the old folks’ hangout), who’s stuck taking care of mom and dad when they get old, and why one of us can’t stand cyclists. Then Vinnie drops the craziest family fact ever: his grandfather’s cousin was WWF legend Chief Jay Strongbow, an Italian guy who played a Native American in the ring for his whole career 🪶 That sends us into the Shane Gillis...
Your Birthday Is a LIE! 🎂🤯
Send us Fan Mail
The coffee cup universe is still alive and it's trying to talk to us now. This week on When Boredom Strikes, we start with the iPhone 18 review nobody asked for, the "going raw" no-case debate, and a phone from 2012 that refuses to die. Then it turns into a full T-Mobile rant: a 5G home internet that couldn't handle FIFA, a returned box that STILL got charged, and a Verizon guy who kept throwing in deals until we got $400 in gift cards and two free months. Too good to be true? We do the...
Ronaldo RAGE QUITS !!
Send us Fan Mail
Welcome back to When Boredom Strikes! This week one of the boys thinks he’s a scientifically perfect specimen because nothing ever happens to him. No COVID, no allergies, and a shoulder surgery recovery so fast his doctor was supposedly shocked. Then things go off the rails. We get into whether you’re only truly free when you’re dead, what happens if the afterlife is just the TV turning off, and the theory that life works like a Call of Duty respawn where you need coins to continue.
Then comes the po...
Why Magicians Fell Off 🎩 | When Boredom Strikes #287
Send us Fan Mail
No guests this week, just the crew, and somehow every topic ends with "look it up." We start with one of us being dangerously addicted to the new FIFA, then fall down a wrestling rabbit hole about Lio Rush's wild new character, and find out how tall Omos really is (7'3", by the way). From there it's a debate on whether people should be judged after doing their time, why magicians like Criss Angel and David Blaine aren't superstars anymore, and who that guy from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is (it's Deep...
We Need to Talk About Chris Hansen w. Tim Rager
Send us Fan Mail
This week on When Boredom Strikes, the fellas are back and it starts with the biggest debate yet: how many showers a day is too many? Craig's done for the night once he showers (so no dishes), someone's showering up to three times a day, and the washcloth vs bar soap war gets personal. Then we break down watching the new Resident Evil movie in Dolby on two edibles, talk about the Chris Hansen movie coming out, and argue about whether catching predators is heroic or just weird.
Then NJ comedian...
Is AI About to Go Rogue? 🤖😳 w. Joe Polizzotti
Send us Fan Mail
We tried to talk about 9/11 turning 25 and somehow ended up debating whether the first caveman gatekept fire, why China is apparently living in the year 4723, and whether AI is about to go full rebellious teenager on humanity 🤖😳 The boys break down the AI whistleblower news, the AGI race between ChatGPT, Grok and Claude, tech billionaires moving to Argentina, and whether the US vs China AI race is basically Oppenheimer all over again.
Then comedian Joe Polizzotti pulls up and it goes off the rails. Joe tells us about working kids' birthday partie...
The Lindsay Clancy Situation!
Send us Fan Mail
Ep. 284 goes completely off the rails and we're not even sorry. We start with a handshake rule nobody asked for, somehow end up debating what the world would look like if Hitler won the war, and then spend a full ten minutes arguing that the Strait of Hormuz sounds like a dessert you'd order at a fancy restaurant. From there it's a full dessert tier list — is crème brûlée upper middle class? Is lava cake for the peasants? — plus hibachi etiquette, the Chipotle protein cheat code that made one of our kid...
$40 To Make Your OWN Coffee?! ☕
Send us Fan Mail
Somebody walked in with homemade deconstructed lattes and the whole episode went off the rails from there. We rate the coffee, argue about microplastics, name his future coffee company (Grounded, with a tree instead of the E), and then find out people are actually paying $30-$40 at coffee shops to build their OWN latte at the table. That's it. That's the business. You pay them, then you do the labor. Somehow it's still cheaper than Korean BBQ.
We also get into the Twitch kid whose mom beat him on stream over 10,000...
Why Ellen DeGeneres Fled The Country! EXPOSED!
Send us Fan Mail
This one got away from us fast. What started as a fight over a Barcelona jersey turned into the deepest rabbit hole we've ever gone down on this show 👀 Craig comes in loaded with conspiracy theories and doesn't let up. We watch THE video — the one with the car in the house, the firefighters, and the body bag — and try to figure out what we're actually looking at. Allegedly. We're just asking questions. We also get into why Ellen DeGeneres left the country, whether the timeline lines up, and how a Christopher Nolan tangent...

We're back — and yeah, we know we missed a week. Our audio has been fighting for its life, so if you're an audio engineer... please hit us up. We're paying in peanuts (that we don't own yet).
This week we got PAPI in the building 🔥 We get into his tattoo situation, the espresso setup that turned one of us into a full-blown coffee scientist, why becoming a Man City fan was the worst decision of the year, the leaked Avengers: Doomsday plot, and the moment ChatGPT started talking to us in a voi...
Please Keep Lying To Us 🤫
Send us Fan Mail
We showed up at 8am. We started recording at 12. Yeah… it was one of THOSE days. 😩
Our audio completely fell apart, so naturally we did what any modern idiot would do — we asked AI. ChatGPT said buy a $1,000 hard drive. Grok said buy a $1,000 hard drive. Craig was ready to swipe. Meanwhile Doctor P is standing there like "bro, it is NOT the hard drive." Spoiler: it was never the hard drive. 🤖💀
So this episode turns into a full trial of artificial intelligence — can AI be manipulated, why are we all fine wit...

Send us Fan Mail
Somebody get these beggars out of here!! 😭 This week on When Boredom Strikes, the boys rate a margarita pizza flop, get into a HEATED debate over whether The Odyssey is Christopher Nolan's first flop (the AI said what?!), and find out IMAX literally LOST the blueprints to their 70mm film projectors 🤯
We also break down Avengers Doomsday tickets already selling out, Dune's secret connection to The Odyssey, Tom Holland's 0% beer, Zendaya's real name reveal, Gen Z bringing back movie theaters AND digital cameras, our clip hitting 2.9 MILLION views, Zeus's Law getting broken...

The boys are BACK for When Boredom Strikes. FIFA is giving World Cup winners SUPER BOWL-style championship rings (Messi with ice?!), daylight savings time is officially DEAD and it was literally causing heart attacks, and TikTok somehow knows you're scrolling on mute… 👀

What Is The Best Chipotle Order!?
Send us Fan Mail
Episode 269 is here and we are NOT taking responsibility for where this conversation went. It started with a simple Chipotle order breakdown and we mean BREAKDOWN, Paulo described his bowl like he was reading a legal document and somehow spiraled into a full investigation of whether Whole Foods meal prep trays are actually worth it or just a TikTok lie. We also got into the Drake vs Bad Bunny debate and pulled up real Spotify and YouTube numbers live, which did not go the way anyone expected. Then Dr. P hit...
