Who would have thought we would have gone 72 Episodes of this silliness. Not our teachers and parents (they actually thought we would do something useful with our lives). Andrew talks about some news stories you might have missed. Seth tries to tie up all the loose ends before we shutter the podcast for good. And we answer YOUR questions!! But we did this one LIVE in Seth's apartment with some of our friends and family. It was an absolute blast, and we love everyone who came ou...
Fresh from a trip home, Andrew waxes nostalgic about his childhood baseball card selection that is maybe worth a lot of money now (but probably isn’t) before launching into some odd news stories of late, including one about a guy walking across the country in an anime-style bear costume for unclear reasons!

In this one, it's time for Seth to unburden himself of some of the useless information that he has attained while doing research for past episodes. Thankfully, Andrew is there to shoulder the weight of mental garbage such as "What game did Victorian children play with chestnuts?" "Who is the current owner of the Everlasting Gobstopper?" and of course "What is the one movie credit that both George H.W. Bush and Slimer from Ghostbusters share?" All that and more! (also sorry if you hear a lot ...
The boys are back recording in person for the first time in 16 months and Andrew is so excited he talks about one of his favorite topics - the revolutionary navigation service Google Maps, and it’s various privacy and accuracy problems, including one that nearly caused an actual war in 2010!

The YONO boys celebrate their triumphant return to your ears by talking about the most (and least) effective anti drug PSA's of the 80's and 90's. We analyze how McGruff solved the crime and drug epidemic on our shores, and then we try to design our own PSA's to help New Zealand's war on people falling into water without being able to swim that well. Also, I list all the things that suck about California opening up again, and Andrew takes a big swing at his old nemesis: the British crown. ...
The boys complain about dogecoin and student loan debt before Andrew tells the tale of the massive ad campaign of the late 1800s that turned southern California from sparsely populated farm land into a massive metropolitan area Email us at yonopod@gmail.com Follow the pod: @yonopod on Twitter, @yourenotgonnalikethispod on Instagram SOURCES The Land of Milk and Honey nickname https://www.quora.com/Why-is-California-called-the-Land-of-Milk-and-Honey - Featuring the answers of two rando...
Okay, stick with me on this one. It's around Mother's Day. Moms are great. We spend a lot of time in this episode shining a light on some of history's moms that have been sadly left by the wayside because they don't fit in to what I'm calling the "Military Industrial Mom-plex." But think about this: what better way is there to honor our moms, your moms, all moms than for Seth and Andrew to finally get their s-word together and become hot shot lawyers like on the TV!? That's right, in the la...
Andrew does the unthinkable and ditches the traditional topic format of the show to check in on his pal Seth. They talk about being tired of Shakespeare references, how the pandemic has or hasn't changed their lives, and (Seth's impression of) Ira Glass makes a return appearance to the podcast Send us an email: yonopod@gmail.com Follow us: @yonopod on Twitter and @yourenotgonnalikethispod on Instagram Links If you somehow aren't familiar, here is the wiki of the film Dunston Checks I...
Seth, much like most people in our nation, spends a lot of time worrying about Andrew's tendency to live vicariously through his favorite historical figures. It's just not healthy. So, with Dickensian style (and life expectancies) the boys go on a whimsical journey, imagining what Andrew's life would be like if he suddenly switched with some of his historic heroes. And we learn that the grass may not always be greener on the other side. Liking the show? Disliking it? Hearin...
Andrew brings in some updates to the news stories he discussed in episode 56, like a vote to unionize Amazon workers, and sprinkles in some oddball stories from the AP, including a robot artist striking it rich in non-fungible tokens Email us: yonopod@gmail.com Follow us: @yonopod on Twitter and @yourenotgonnalikethispod on Instagram Sources: Amazon union vote https://www.npr.org/2021/04/09/982139494/its-a-no-amazon-warehouse-workers-vote-against-unionizing-in-historic-election https:...
Seth has been more or less coasting off of the revenue from his wildly popular personality quiz "Which Yule Lad, from Icelandic Mythology, Are You?" (available here: https://www.buzzfeed.com/yule-lad89/which-yule-lad-from-icelandic-mythology-are-you-7oc7g5y798 ) So he decided to spotlight some up and coming quiz-smiths by finding some of the internet's finest personality quizzes and forcing one Andrew Caudill to take them. We dive deep into his psyche and plunder the depths of his true self (...
Andrew brings in some moderately important events that happened in 1921, the year that happened 100 years ago (if his math is correct). Also the boys talk about their experiences being told dirty jokes by men they don't know. Today on.....You're Not Gonna Like This.

Seth uses the one year anniversary of our "Episode 13 - Rock-a-doo That to Me One More Time" as a flimsy excuse to force Andrew to watch "Rock-a-Doodle!" An animated movie from 1992 that was personally rejected by Walt Disney (that's a real thing). We talk about the film and try to piece together how it taught Seth to believe in friendship, while simultaneously teaching him to be aroused by chickens. We also send a prayer to the Suez Canal ship and its precious cargo, and we talk about why ...
Andrew talks about his pandemic-induced nostalgia and the history of society's understanding of the emotion and its connection to Swiss military history. Plus the boys reveal an upsetting truth about the origin of the VH1 series I Love the 80's.

Seth tries one last time to save Andrew from a life devoid of merriment. He shows Andrew some of his favorite games and sees if Andrew can show something even resembling interest. We talk about modern games like Cross Fire, Neopets, and Club Penguin. But we also dive into some Victorian parlor games such as "Hot Cockles," "Huckle Buckle Beanstalk," and the deceptively named "Bullet Pudding." We also fix some of the inaccuracies in Hungry, Hungry Hippos, extend an olive branch to the sn...

Those boys use a scheduling mix-up as an opportunity to record their first ever mini episode (shortened as minisode to save time). Andrew talks about a petition to rebrand possibly offensive Trader Joe's food items and Seth talks about the current state of the Prohibition Party in the US and it's spoon licking presidential candidate.

Seth shares a list of urban legends with Andrew, and the two put their heads together to determine which ones are the scariest, the most plausible, and the most likely to make them change the way they interact with the world. Samples include an ankle-slashing car jacker, a mischievous troupe of Icelandic trolls, and a mysterious "Baby Train." We also uncover some startling truths about the hiring decisions of one "Saint" Nicholas. And we do another "Review Review!" Don't forget to leave us ...
The first taste is free.... and the rest of it is also free. It's a podcast.
Andrew brings in some news stories he think deserve more attention, like the Sheriff of LA trying to get a helipad built for himself funded by taxpayer money, and some weird ones that probably deserve less attention, like a man befriending a swan in Turkey.
