The TodCast Podcast

One little typo turns into a whole episode. Eric mixes up “desert” and “dessert,” and suddenly we’re off talking about sand, sweets, and whether cheesecake really is the king of them all. Along the way, we cover Looney Tunes backdrops, wrestling gimmicks, and what counts as a snack versus a dessert.The easy way to remember desert vs. dessertFamous deserts in the U.S. (and Todd’s camping trips there)Why the Undertaker is from Death ValleyLooney Tunes and our picture of what deserts look likeSoft serve machines at home and the hierarchy of ice creamWhat really makes something a dessert (timing? sweetness?)Cheesecake Factory trips and declaring a winnerTurns out deserts are dry, desserts are sweet, and both can spark way more debate than you’d think.

A random Instagram map leads Todd and Eric down a rabbit hole (or pouch?) into the wild world of exotic pet ownership. From kangaroo permits in Ohio to the social acceptability of naming chickens after Power Rangers, the conversation hops between legality, utility, and the sheer absurdity of what people call pets.Which U.S. states let you own a kangaroo (and why West Virginia is surprisingly on the list).Florida Man without a kangaroo? The shocking legality map twist.The difference between livestock, pets, and working animals.Naming chickens, befriending cows, and the slippery slope to bacon named Kevin.Why owning a tarantula guarantees you’re “not normal.”The exotic animal line: goats and reptiles are fine… chimpanzees and bears, not so much.Todd’s faux kangaroo—Rowdie Roo—and the final word on whether he’s dinner.From maps to marsupials, this episode proves that no scroll through Instagram is safe from turning into a full-blown debate on what counts as a pet, what’s just plain weird, and why sometimes the strangest conversations are the most fun.

What started as a 4:15 a.m. thought spirals into a full-blown deep dive on biblical fashion, purple sashes, and why Jesus might have been the original Ninja Turtle. Todd and Eric debate the historical practicality of robes, speculate on sash functionality (storage? style? loaves and fishes?), and take detours into Jedi wardrobe choices, South Park, and Genghis Khan’s surprising contributions to humanity—namely, pants and hamburgers. It’s equal parts history lesson, pop culture mash-up, and random middle-of-the-night musing that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about ancient wardrobes.Why purple is tied to royalty and how it became part of Jesus’ look.Artistic choices in depictions of the Last Supper.The robe-versus-pants dilemma of biblical times.Genghis Khan’s surprising fashion and food legacy.Jedi wardrobe logic (or lack thereof).The Ninja Turtle method of character differentiation applied to apostles.The possible practical uses of a sash (including storing miracles).

Crystal throws the TodCast PodCast boys a challenge: You’re driving for five hours—only one artist, one snack or meal, and one drink allowed. Todd and Eric take the scenario and immediately crank it to 17. Because five hours? That’s amateur hour.• Coffee vs. Mountain Dew: The caffeinated battle of wills• Wendy’s vs. McDonald’s: Drive-thru loyalty, convenience, and spicy chicken logic• Snacks vs. Real Food: Eric wants a crockpot. Todd just wants Chex Mix.• Artist Discography Draft: Weird Al, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and who can survive 17 hours without skipping• Bonus tangent: Why Ohio’s highways might be cursed• Crystal gets a full itinerary in return for a single voicemailWhat starts as a simple travel question turns into a culinary, musical, and geographical therapy session. Spoiler: Eric could survive on honey buns, but only if Google Maps warns him about the patrol cars.

Eric’s stomach might be in distress, but his imagination is firing on all cylinders. In this episode, he and Todd explore everything from obscure medication metaphors to deep-seated shark trauma—and somehow still have room for sock-based hacks and Princess Bride references.Pepto Infinity Stones: Eric wonders aloud—has anyone completed the full Pepto-Bismol symptom gauntlet? And if so, are they okay?Socks and Swagger: Why buy ankle socks when your kid’s crew socks (with sharks on them) fit just fine? Bonus: taunting your 8-year-old about it.Funko Shark Attack: Todd nearly buys Eric a boat-eating shark figurine. He resists. Barely.Bruce Trauma: Eric is slowly, strategically desensitizing himself to Jaws, which still sparks actual anxiety. But hey, live-streamed exposure therapy might help.Pants Time & Podcast Lore: The episode closes with an impromptu glossary of TodCast phrases—from “pork chops” to “pants” to possible future Easter eggs.Bonus Insight: The shark in Finding Nemo is named Bruce as a nod to Jaws. You’re welcome.If you like podcasts that blend anxiety, nostalgia, inside jokes, and gastrointestinal honesty—you’ve found your people.

Eric kicks off his day in style—with actual cake while listening to the band Cake, before 8 a.m. Naturally, it sparks a cascade of randomness that only the TodCast PodCast can deliver. From Spotify stunts to prank store nostalgia, and even Civil War-style Facebook journaling, this one’s got it all.The Cake Combo: Eric achieves audio-snack nirvana—eating cake while listening to Cake, unlocking a new life achievement.Sound Identity Crisis: The guys explore what their brand’s “sound” would be. Spoiler: it’s somewhere between cake and cooking montages.Paul’s Diabetes and the Samba Revival: Craig Bostich’s abrupt punk country tunes inspire dreams of fictional band names and genre fusions.The Prank Store Rabbit Hole: Remember fake dog poop? Todd and Eric rediscover the lost magic of dribble glasses, hand buzzers, and novelty shops in the Amish heartland.Hamburgers Shaped Like Hot Dogs: This cursed idea launches a culinary debate and unlocks horrifying childhood toy memories.Dear LiveJournal: Eric unveils a new microblogging saga—part daily diary, part social experiment, all written like a Civil War letter from the front lines of daily life.It’s equal parts nostalgic, nonsensical, and oddly motivating. Grab a slice, cue up the Cake, and enjoy the chaos.

Eric unveils his latest long-term musical stunt—an elaborate plot to rig his Spotify Wrapped. What started as a rebellion against bad algorithmic assumptions has spiraled into a daily ritual of obscure 90s jams, folksy earworms, and trolling his daughter with Gordon Lightfoot. Todd listens in with a mix of admiration and mild confusion.Hooked on Hook: Eric plays “Hook” by Blues Traveler every day to guarantee it takes the top spot in December.Sundown Showdown: Gordon Lightfoot’s “Sundown” is not going down without a fight, much to Lainee’s despair.The Way It Goes: A third contender enters the ring—Fastball’s “The Way”—and things get even weirder.No Cheats Allowed: Eric lays down strict rules—no repeat-playlist loops. This rigged Wrapped is going to be honest manipulation.Real-Life Streets of Rage: After surviving a cheer competition alone, Eric invents a new game: How to navigate large crowds with as little human interaction as possible.Mascot Mayhem: Somehow, it all ends with the boys planning a fake high school, complete with school spirit and Snow Lions.An episode full of completely unnecessary dedication, 90s nostalgia, and two grown men who really just want to make each other laugh.

Todd and Eric dive into the double-edged sword that is ADHD—does it grant them superhuman multitasking abilities, or does it just make life a constant game of mental pinball? In this episode, they attempt to harness the power of distraction while tackling their usual chaos.Is ADHD a Superpower? Eric and Todd debate whether their hyperfocus and multitasking skills are strengths or just coping mechanisms.Project Purgatory: How do you keep track of all your unfinished projects? The guys discuss their best (and worst) attempts at staying organized.The Danger Room for ADHD Training: If ADHD were a superhero ability, what would the training manual look like?AI as a Sidekick: How Todd and Eric are using AI to document their thoughts, automate tasks, and (hopefully) avoid repeating the same work over and over.Distrust vs. Acceptance: A generational gap emerges as Todd worries about Big Tech listening in, while Eric just shrugs and moves on.This episode is a perfect example of ADHD in action—jumping from deep introspection to absurd tangents and back again. Tune in before we forget what we were talking about.

Todd and Eric tackle an existential crisis—has Eric actually grown up, or is he just a 16-year-old with a corporate card? In this episode, they break down what it really means to be an adult, whether a lifelong love of Disney and wrestling counts as emotional stagnation, and why midlife crises might just be an excuse to finally do cool stuff.Trapped in Time? Eric wonders if his mindset got stuck at 16 while the rest of him kept evolving.Midlife Crisis or Just Having Fun? From wrestling rings to Disney trips, Todd explains why adults just do what teenage them couldn’t afford.The Science of Trolling: Is busting your friends’ chops a sign of immaturity, or just part of a well-balanced personality?Beach Vacations = Torture? Why Eric would rather wander a theme park than sit in the sun doing nothing.What Actually Makes You an Adult? Todd and Eric attempt to define adulthood, realizing halfway through that nobody really knows.It’s a mix of self-reflection, psychoanalysis, and the usual TodCast PodCast nonsense. Tune in and find out—are we all just teenagers with better financial decisions?

Todd and Eric go from a full-blown sneeze crisis to a deep dive on pasta, gluten, and the structural integrity of wagon wheels (the pasta, not the transportation). This episode has absolutely no reason to exist, yet here we are. Sneeze Count Madness: Eric wakes up trapped in a never-ending sneeze loop. Todd offers no solutions. The Origins of ‘Bless You’: Todd drops some medieval knowledge on why people bless sneezes—and why he prefers ‘Gluten Tubes’ instead. Pasta Power Rankings: From spaghetti to bow ties, the duo debates the greatest pasta shapes and why gluten-free pasta is a crime against humanity. The Pasta Art Conspiracy: Did we all make macaroni art as kids, or was that just a 1980s myth? The Great Spoon Debate: Is twirling spaghetti with a spoon an elite dining skill or an abomination? The Todcast team has thoughts.An episode that starts with sneezing and ends in pasta philosophy? Classic TodCast PodCast.

Todd and Eric go deep down the rabbit hole in this episode, uncovering their new life mission: achieving the legendary WIGS status (Wikipedia, IMDB, Goodreads, and Spotify). But why stop there when they could turn it into an EGOT?The Power of Fun: Eric's 2024 mission is to prioritize fun, but does that include trying to game IMDB credits? Absolutely.WIGS to EGOT: The duo unveils their ambitious plan to go from online credibility to full Hollywood domination.The Samba Band That Will Change the World – A simple church sign inspires a musical revolution, but will it be enough to revive the shortage of Samba?Step-by-Step Shenanigans: Guest booking for Step-by-Step is heating up, and apparently, everyone wants in.South Park Parenting: Eric preps a new show where he determines which episodes of South Park his kids are actually allowed to watch.The Great IMDB Loophole: Learn how the Hersey Boys plan to get acting and producer credits simultaneously—in the most ridiculous way possible.Tune in for high-quality shenanigans, an overcomplicated plan for internet glory, and the birth of the most important Samba band of the decade.

What makes one mug superior to another? Is there a proper way to organize your cups? Does a glass mug actually make milk taste better? Todd and Eric dive deep into mug hierarchy, covering the absurd, the practical, and the completely unnecessary rules of cup selection. Cabinet Politics: Todd and Eric analyze how mugs are stored, used, and why some cups are forever banished to the back. The Hunter Conundrum: Special guest Hunter Hersey defends his chaotic cup choices, much to Eric’s frustration. The Great Butterbeer Debate: Can a cup be “too special” to drink from? Hunter seems to think not. Hot vs. Cold Preferences: Should coffee stay hot for hours, or is it meant to naturally cool? The team takes sides. Future Innovations: Todd proposes a Han Solo in Carbonite cocoa mug that might just be the next million-dollar Star Wars collectible. This episode is pointless in the best way possible, bringing deep analysis to the most mundane daily decisions. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a mug connoisseur, you’ll never look at your cup collection the same way again.

In this special bonus episode, Todd is joined by executive producer Abby to dive into a long-lost audio experiment from 2021. What started as a casual observation about Ohio Valley accents turned into a full-fledged linguistic study (or, at least, a hilarious excuse to make people say the same phrase over and over again). The Origin Story: How a simple Anchor ad read sparked an accent deep-dive. The Experiment: Todd and Abby asked friends and family from different regions to record the phrase "I listen to podcasts on my phone." No context. No explanation. Just blind obedience. The Results: Ohio Valley? Columbus? Philly? Arizona? Carolina? Todd plays the clips, and Abby provides her expert analysis on who sounds like what. Nightmare Fuel: Because Todd can’t leave well enough alone, all the voices are mashed into a cursed supercut. Good luck sleeping after this one. A Special Tribute: Stick around after the credits for a clip featuring a very special voice. This episode is pointless, ridiculous, and completely necessary—because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love an impromptu linguistic study?

This week, Todd and Eric get sidetracked (again) and deliver a chaotic mix of accents, podcast nostalgia, and mildly concerning rabbit holes. It’s the TodCast PodCast you know and love—awkward, hilarious, and a little bit absurd. Todd’s Accent Extravaganza: Scottish dwarves, Southern drawls, and a surprisingly passable redneck—Todd’s got them all. Eric? Not so much. Clip-Em-Who? The lost podcast “Clip-Em-Neil” resurfaces in conversation, complete with fake recaps and a desperate search for its long-lost episodes. Family Impressions: From Undertaker growls to Bullwinkle impressions, they explore the (debatable) acting chops of the Hersey household. Everyone’s a Podcaster Now: Eric reveals Lauren’s new podcast and dubs himself the “Santa Claus of IMDB credits.” Join the TodCast PodCast for an episode that’s more about the journey than the destination. Will they stay on topic? Absolutely not. Will you laugh anyway? Probably.

Todd and Eric are back with an episode full of absurdity, nostalgia, and brilliant (yet questionable) business ideas. From debating the worst kinds of pain to envisioning a mac and cheese truck empire, this episode has it all. Tournament of Pains: Toothaches vs. earaches vs. broken bones—what truly reigns supreme? Core Memories: Todd relives a tragic bike crash, and Eric recalls his icy punishment at Wendy’s. Savory Cones & Mac Trucks: Is a mac and cheese food truck the next million-dollar idea? Todd and Eric think so. Shenanigans Galore: Childhood games, monkey balls, and the brilliance of pizza cones.

Cassette Chronicles: Eric stumbles upon a stash of vintage mixtapes, sparking a trip down memory lane featuring Richard Marx, Amy Grant, and 80s Christian pop.

The TodCast PodCast is back, and no, it’s not because you begged for it (although you totally should have). After an extended hiatus—let’s call it a “creative sabbatical”—Todd and Eric return to grace your ears with their signature blend of wisdom, nonsense, and the occasional pointless debate. Hiatus Hijinks: Todd and Eric discuss why they ghosted the podcast world (hint: life happened) and share updates, including Eric’s rise as a multi-podcast mogul. Wisdom for the Ages: Todd leans into his inner sage, determined to leave a digital time capsule of dad jokes, unsolicited advice, and life lessons for future generations—because nothing says “legacy” like a podcast. Back to Basics: Forget the fancy formats and frantic follower-chasing. This season is all about unscripted, unfiltered fun—just two brothers talking about everything and nothing. Whether you’re here for Todd’s nuggets of wisdom, Eric’s SEO rants, or just need background noise for your commute, the TodCast PodCast is happy to oblige. Buckle up—it’s going to be a ride (but probably not a smooth one).

In this origin-story-style episode, Todd prompts Eric to dig deep and open The Book of Eric. From dogs lost to foggy fields of memory, to nap time rebellions and paper mâché wonderlands, they piece together Eric’s earliest moments—with a healthy dose of sibling banter, vague 80s nostalgia, and accidental emotional archaeology.Earliest Memory: Eric remembers blocks, Sesame Street, and a mysterious dog named Lady—later revealed to be a flea magnet sacrificed for Mom’s survival.The Great Move: A half-deflated Easter Bunny and soggy socks mark Eric’s first house move, a memory forever filed under "wet feet and weird transitions."Library Lore: Paper mâché sculptures and a hidden Wizard of Oz display transform a basement library room into a toddler's Smithsonian.Storytime vs. Preschool: Eric didn't go to preschool—he went to storytime, which Todd correctly identifies as "preschool for the working class."The Memory Picture Paradox: Do we remember events, or just the photos of events? The brothers discuss how grainy prints from 1996 shape their current recollections.Muscle Men and Microman: Eric's earliest toy-based rebellion? Skipping nap time to stage a quiet action figure uprising.If you’ve ever had a vivid memory triggered by a smell, a song, or a suspiciously half-deflated Easter Bunny—you’ll feel right at home.
