Kendrick Lamar vs Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor

The boys are back and this time it takes all of 40 minutes to even talk about the new year! Why?! Because the boys have important things to talk about like beans, eggs, fashion, and Ai. And if you want any explanation, I can't help you there. It's definitely the first Cox n' Crendor of 2025.

Best Of Podquisition Volume 1

In this brief teaser episode, lovely boys Jim Sterling and Conrad Zimmerman introduce you to Jonathan Off Road Rules, who once was famous for being on Road Rules, and one day will be again. We'll make sure of it.

Boston's Favorite Son: The Prequel Preview Teaser Episode

The ultimate showbusiness odyssey begins here! Jim Sterling and Conrad Zimmerman are absolutely sick of their friend Jonathan not being famous. 

He was famous once! He was in MTV's Road Rules: Northern Trail. He is Jonathan Off Road Rules! So let's get him famous again, even if it involves a traffic accident, crow wrangling, or poison ivy!

May or may not contain the next hit movie starring Willem Dafoe.
