The Early Podcast

Lucia invites Brandon and Michael onto her podcast Rated X to discuss their answers to the famed Rice Purity Test. There's a catch, of course, in classic TEP fashion: at any given moment, Michael and Brandon have to insert 2 lies created by the other host. Lucia has no idea. She's in for the ride of her life. In the editor's opinion, this is Brandon and Michael's funniest episode yet. Don't forget to check out Lucia's podcast here. Please check out her podcast! We had an absolute blast on her show and ultimately we did technically yoink her content so we kind of owe her. Give her a follow and listen to all of her stuff -- it's great. Call, text, or leave us a voicemail at 734-904-9280 to be a guest on a future episode, or to apply for the open Social Media Manager position. The position of Social Media Manager (PAID) is: STILL OPEN (last checked 49 seconds ago) *the above posting will update automatically. service provided by Glassdoor (est. 2008)*

Mike and Brandon are back and better than ever in this special one year anniversary episode of TEP.  It wouldn't be a one year anniversary without bringing back the fan favorite, and favorite fan, Sydney.   Tune in to watch us call Sydney and ask for a job reference for someone that she does not know.  Mike and Brandon then discuss conspiracy theories both true and fake and involving Drake!  Stick through the end of the podcast to listen to our reference interview on Sydney to see if she can be a homie for someone she does not know.
