Boys on the Case

This week John is absent. You know what that means- the quality is absent too! I'm kidding. Or am I? I am. Unless... Jeremy took this opportunity to invite some guests on and solve the viewers real world problems! Maybe we'll actually solves some cases this time.  Got a question that needs answers?

The boys are back! And they're talking about why children's cartoons are so messed up. I know it's been a while, but we've been training in a mountain top monastery deep within the unknown regions of southeast Asia. Unfortunately, that training had nothing to do with podcasting, so we're a little rusty. So nothing really has changed.  Got a question that needs answers?

This week the boys talk about serial killers and where the ding dang heck they all went. In other news, I am proud to announce that Sonic the Hedgehog is my new best friend. We go on adventures and have dinner together. I know you're all jealous, and I want to congratulate everyone who entered the contest to become my new best friend because you all did very well and should be proud of your performances. But no one did as good as my lifelong pal Sonic the Hedgehog who also paid me $12 when he only owed me $10 for dinner. What a guy! Got a question that needs answers?

This week Jeremy is absent (because he's a tool) so it's just Boy on the Case! But that means John gets to talk about aliens and be weird with it. The problem with aliens is that even if they’re wicked hot we won’t be able to talk to them so how would you even flirt with them? I can’t even flirt with people who speak English, much less life from another planet. I can’t even flirt with my girlfriend :(  Got a question that needs answers?

This week the boys figure out which U.S. president would win in a battle royal style death match! Spoilers: its not Andrew Johnson. Update for those who have been reading the episode descriptions—we have made it through our joke shortage and now have a joke surplus. We will, however, not be lowering joke prices back to where they were before the shortage. The higher prices will go towards ensuring a stronger customer experience, and raising employee pay rates by 20 cents :) Got a question that needs answers?

This week the boys discuss theme parks and how they went from a place to wash yo nasty body to a Disney themed, overpriced bar. The bad news is I don't have a funny goof or gag for the description for this one. I used them all up. Jokes are a limited resource, and without careful planning and sustainable practices they can run out. In fact, the UN predicts that at our currant rate we will have hit peak comedy by 2050, leading to a global humor crisis. That's why here on Boys on the Case we recycle our jokes as much as possible.  Got a question that needs answers?

Happy Halloween ghouls, fiends, and non-binary monsterfolk! To celebrate the spookiness the boys watched John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) and made this commentary track to listen to alongside it. While it is not necessary to watch the movie alongside the commentary, we recommend you do so for the full experience. It'll feel like the boys are in the room with you (minus the odor). Watch The Thing (1982) on Hulu, Amazon Prime, and YoutubeTV Got a question that needs answers?

The Halloween festivities continue this week with another spooOOoky question. This week the boys discuss why some people don't like the sensation of fear, while others are complete weirdos who want to experience the brain chemical cocktail that happens when being chased by a ghoul or a goblin. Idk what a ghoul is for sure, but I know its different than a gabagool- which is an Italian meat.  Got a question that needs answers?

I'm going to be honest, I don't have any good anime jokes for the description. I would have more time to think up one, but MY WIFE is always nagging me about unimportant things. You know how women are, "John, go do this. John go do that. John, I can't believe you showed up to the funeral drunk." It's like I can't do anything right.  Got a question that needs answers?

This week the boys discuss the bits and bobs on the human body left over from our monkey days. Oh what days those were. Sitting in trees, eating fruit, fighting other monkeys. Even better, back when we were simple fish. No lofty dreams of walking or driving cars. Only swim and eat. Can you imagine? The sweet bliss of fish existence. And then one fish said to another, "Glub Glub" (Translated: "Brother, I long for more! For the surface, where there is open fields and an endless bounty of foods"). The other fish, being older and wiser, responded in kind, "Glub Glub" (Translated: "Nay, you fool! your youth grants you courage and ambition, but it clouds your mind with visions of grandeur and luxury. In your endless drive for adventure you shall doom not just yourself, but your very soul!"). And then the younger fish grew legs and went on land and now I have to pay rent so fuck that fish, I hate him.  Got a question that needs answers?

This week the boys talk about fighting games and if people enjoy being challenged. Hi everyone, It's me John, co-host of the investigative "comedy" podcast Boys on the Case. I have recently started a campaign to get every member of the show with a deez nuts joke, and I have so far been rather successful. If you are a listener of the show, I'm calling my shot now. I will ensnare all the other members. Mark my words. If you are part of the cast, this is a warning. You can lie to yourself and think, "John won't get me with a deez nuts joke, I'm too cleaver." I allow you to feel comfort in this false sense of security. Grasping foolishly to delusions of safety only sweeten the moment when I make the kill. I got Basir, and then Deyson. Its only a matter of time before I get you as well.  Got a question that needs answers?

This week the boys tell you how to fake your own death and disappear. And hey, we make a lot of good goofs about committing tax evasion in this episode, but that was all for show. Don't commit tax crimes. For starters, it seems a lot of work for little reward. And even if you did commit tax evasion how would you max more money without dodging the taxes on that too? Its like that book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. It's real cute, you should read it.  Got a question that needs answers?
