Description

Live (ish) from Holly Springs... Erin, Jason, and Anthony got your weekly (and sometimes daily) dose of laughter, banter, quirky observations, and shit to complain about around South Wake County and beyond. We live here. We get it... sort of.

We give the business to the inventor of the juice cleanse, Tom Cleanse, and play a new game that compares lingo from above and below the Mason-Dixon line. Speaking of cleanses, we also take a little diversion into a debate over the hygenic properties (or lack there of) of bidets! Stay woke...
With Jason and Anthony overrun and overstressed, Erin took the baton and the "A" chair to drive the bus for an episode. Anthony's podding in a bathrobe and Jason's shoving nuts into his mouth. Let the comedy ensue...
It's a potpourri of you guessed it - quarantine takes and the edge of insanity. Why are the Wassup Guys back in my life?? Why do we "give two shits" and who are we giving them to? Jason questions the legitimacy of gummy vitamins vs the hard stuff and the douchebaggery of fake doctorate degrees.
Cinco de Mayo fell way of the "19" along with everything else this year, and all anyone's doing is binging everything in sight, going blind, and gaining weight. The SWP crew is here to fuel that fire! Let's get into all the shows and movies we're recommending, what universally loved movies have you never seen or just "don't get?" Bands, Food, and more.... Let's get woke y'all!
No, that's not the name of a new Tom Cruise sci-fi pic. It's the crazy topic of "re-sweat" and how it impacts B.O.... another conversation you never knew you needed to dive into with the SWP crew. Jason makes his case for the pre-bedtime deodorant swipe, Erin ponders the concept of an under-boob deodorant, and Anthony reveals his grooming approach for a virtual zoom date!
We've had a lot of shit taken away from us during the pandemic - haircuts, dating, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. - so we decided to buy some of it back... fantasy draft style!

It's a super special episode, as we've got guests joining us in the zoom studio to break down America's favorite quarantine guilty pleasure... Tiger King! Strip in and strap 'em on!
IF you could pick any three people to be quarantined with, who would it be and why? One catch - you have to choose someone who's dead, someone who's alive, and one fictional character. Play along with the South Woke crew...

We binged one of our quarantine quilty pleasures - Netflix's "Love is Blind" and we podded about it! Grab the bud lights and pino grigio and dig in!

Ep. 12: Boober Eats

2020-03-2939:59

As the quarantine continues, we keep podding through zoom, just for you!... This week we discuss the new home delivery businesses that may or may not be popping up out of the new lockdown life. What's going to happen to the current and future states of all of our favorite local businesses in South Wake County, and our predictions on when Trump is going to pull us out of this mess. ;)
We're self-quarantined inside Bean Bag Studios, pumping the Purell, and talking all things Coronovirus!! Woo-hoo, let the hijinks commence! While we do briefly discuss which Steely Dan album had the song "COVID 19" on it (4:40), we move on to other things, including the hot mess that is sweeping the Netflix world... "Love is Blind" (6:45). Then, the crazy toilet paper hoarders make an appearance in a round of America's favorite game... "Who Sucks More?" (10:26). Anthony presents one of our all time faves, CBC's Spring Bock, in this week's Local Beer of the Week segment (13:00). A quick chat about CBD oil leads into a little guessing game about the latest demented ingredients they're stuffing into toothpaste these days - yes, we're looking at you, activated charcoal (16:22). Jason gives an impromptu review of the new Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero (23:27)
After a brief hiatus, we're back with a little public bathroom conversation etiquette right out of the gate. Erin explains the quirky differences between Fuquay AND Varina - yes, they are two places! (3:30). Jason gives a rundown of the latest new businesses coming to Holly Springs, and the gang reacts in all the most inappropriate ways (9:22). The new AT&T store finds its way into this week's "Why are you still in my life?" segment (10:41). We give Dunkin' the treatment for removing the word "Donuts" from their name (15:12). Anthony cracks open some "Sticky Crystals" beer in this week's "Local Brew of the week" (21:15) and we taste it as we're feeling the power of amethyst crystals in this week's "Erin's Reiki Minute". We touch on the ridiculousness of our 3" "snowmageddon" that ended our local 2-year snow drought (30:30). Erin calls our Jason for still having a Christmas tree up in March and the ensuing "Holiday Tree Challenge" that gets thrown down for the rest of the year (33:01).
We open this week's show with the usual pleasantries, including Erin wondering why there are never tacos in the studio for Taco Tuesday. We then dive into the pros and cons of 3-in-1 shower products and the "painters' palette of lathering" (3:30). Anthony shares a coffee porter recommendation in his "local brew of the week" (9:21). Erin pretends to be interested in Jason & Anthony's review of "1917" and discuss the existence of a "dude flick" genre and the future of bars inside movie theaters (13:02). In our new segment "Erin's Reiki Minute" we learn of Erin's possible witch ancestry and the guys get quizzed on chakras (16:10). We discuss the news of the Hurricanes having an outdoor game next season and how we would make it better (20:00). We give our half-ass takes on "8th Grade Formal-GATE" - the controversy surrounding the recent decision to "de-formalize" the end of year dance at Holly Grove Middle School, which of course segues into "promposals" (28:25). Finally, right before our wrap-up, Erin takes one last shot at Arby's in a little segment we like to call "Get Your Ass Back on Track" (33:09).
It's the debut of SWP's new co-host... Erin (not Lisa) Smith!! If you listen to her voice and her hot takes, and you still think she sounds like a Lisa... that's on you. We gab about why foods make the best pet names, why you need to stalk the Cousin's Maine Lobster Truck immediately, the best (Impossible) burger in South Wake County, local beers, why Aldi charges to use their shopping carts, some call outs, some shout outs, and gobs and gobs more. Let's get WOKE!
If you get the joke... you get the joke. Otherwise, Merry Christmakah!!
Christmas season in the south is in full swing!... and we stir up some memories of retro toys from our wish lists of Christmas past and present. Then we ask some serious questions that need to be asked, about the Elf on the Shelf, and let you know the true manner in which he is intended to be used.
Hosts Jason Papagan & Anthony Pisch are joined by interim producer Hunter Piermont as they dive into the greasy intricacies of the house of Pancakes vs. the house of Waffle. And everybody in Wake County is going bananas over Wegman's - we dip into the mailbag of "Potentially Authentic Emails" to read a letter from Tom Wegman about some crazy new additions to the future South Wake Wegman's store! Later in the show we play a round of "If We Ran It" featuring Thanksgiving football games and the beer selection at the Hickory Tavern. Let's get Woke!!
As the new podcast continues to take shape, we're in the heart of fall which means State Fair season around here. We dive in deep trying to figure just how woke or unwoke the State Fair actually is. We play a few rounds of Fair-related "Who Sucks More?" and speculate on Friendly's and In-n-Out Burger coming to Holly Springs.
We're live from the corner of the bar at Pace Yourself Run Company... Getting woke with the running community in Holly Springs, and sipping on tasty beers! Co-owners Randall Graham and Dave Karls join us to play some games, speculate on the first-rounders of a local beer draft, and talk up the talk of the town, as we continue the shaping of the new South Woke Podcast...
