The Basement Buddies Podcast

#79 We are sanitary but we are not clean

Super stalker Ingrid is back again (I definitely didn't keep her locked in the basement all week). We talked about a bunch of stuff including an argument about the cult Ingrid grew up in being "less cult-y" then Johns cults. Also, John might be a ghost.

#78 My integrity is worth one dollar

Super stalker Ingrid somehow found out where I live and showed up during a recording. She payed the entrance fee by showing up with a roll of toilet paper and a 3/4 full bottle of hand sanitizer. Enjoy.

#77 I love touching my face

 Birthday Boy Koz bounces back to The Basement! We start off with the terror that's gripping our nation, Daylight Saving Time. We discuss our favorite Saints and turning into an old grouch. Brooks had a day date with his wife and learning how to wash his hands. Koz bullies us again into drinking alcohol while John recounts some youthful car shenanigans. We debut a hit new segment "Breaking Apple News" and try to answer some questions from a 7 year old. We go over out least favorite tropes, positive racism, "happy-endings" doctors and Brooks' brain problems. Apparently geocaching is still a thing, we regret not participating in the communal gummy bear lifestyle. John figures out a free blood loophole and loses a water rocket. Our resident Sports Hero Koz brings us home with his famous sports corner segment. 

#76 Dipping my toes in that John water

Hey listeners, you are the true heroes for listening to our silliness. Thank you so much and enjoy an instant classic with just the two of us in the basement. 
We also love emails with anything you want to say or ask us.

#75 Biggity Bob on the microphone

Returning guest Bob from our sister podcast Some Kind of Show. John shares his new obsession with Tik Tok which quickly turns to politics. Bob shares his hatred of youtube tutorials and we learn how easy it would be to sneak into Bob's work. We discuss how to have parties as adults and never invite the 'Barbara". Brooks and John complain about their kids and expensive groceries. Bob tells us some Plaid Pantry secrets and we all hate on Subway. We out Bob as a filthy Californian while we lament Old Portland quickly fading away. Bob predicts drone repair will be the job of the future while Brooks wants to get into the solder lifestyle. John visited an auction site full of bones and office chairs. We talk about scrounging, the allure of free stuff and John is gonna reuse his Christmas tree next year. Our question does a great job demonstrating our poor understanding of history. Everyone is officially invited to BobFest 2020 and you are encouraged to come with no supplies and just mooch.

#74 Sex Ed kitten

Welcome back True Believers™ for a great time in the basement with just your trusty two original buddies Brooks and John (we couldn't get a guest this week).  Unfortunately we forgot to film our intro dance but Brooks regales us with some delightful singing. John talks about how much he hates showers and Brooks loves drowning his kids. Kids don't belong at restaurants unless they have a kid area and Brooks had a mountain adventure while letting his kids run free. John admits his strangely intense hatred of hot air balloons. We figure out new careers for ourselves and peer into the multiverse. Print is dead but coupons will live forever.Rewiring an electric car seems east and getting colds because of the flu shot (that's how they getcha!). Hazing the new guy at work and strange male behavior. John complains about the poor state of sex-ed and we discuss innate human tribalism. 

#73 A hope chest full of beads

Kearsten is back for the third time and she's brought a signature cocktail (along with the clinking ice cubes, sorry about that). Kearsten is hooked into youth culture and teaches us about the Panatone color of the year and how exactly TikTok works. We chat about our kids stealing each others toys, and how much money Post Malone would have to give you to leave a strip club. Brooks is training bees and falcons in his back yard to attack the children. What would we do with 10 million bucks?

#72 Calm down, California

Neighborhood friend Kim comes over to chat with us and help us figure out our opinions on a variety of topics. Carpet vs Hardwood, Crafts vs Art, and separating art from the artist. How to teach our kids to read with comic books or perhaps teaching them to read at all is a mistake. 
Cat Stevens or Yusuf Islam, dead kids vs computers, letting strangers hold your baby and skinny vs fat. We end the show on a controversial note when Brooks finally reveals his awful opinion about dishwashers.

#71 Erection center of the brain

Our first return guest Brett returns, the totally not murdered cohost of Remote Guys Night podcast.
Brett suffered from FOMO for VR so he hunted one down and did some scalping. Always picking the wrong line at the grocery store and efficient line arrangements. We discuss our past experiences of VR and predict the future of VR (don't worry it's porn). The Bounce House Burden has been passed to another unsuspecting parent. Figuring out how much our personal time is worth and playing video games that simulate a real job. Brett's wood carving neurosurgeon neighbor sounds really cool and Brooks teaches us about the biggest part of the brain. We start our new segment, 49 more great questions from SuperFan Tonya. We quickly spin off into a conversation of bitcoin and the logistics of time travel (naked sphere of electricity). Trash talking architects and john tortures his kid by getting a cavity filled. We contemplate the best way to die and how much old people be fucking. We end by playing a rousing game of "Would you rather?"

#70 Ive never seen the center of a mango

Simon Liggity-Lyle is back on the mic! We chat about being weird around our kids, the mysterious mango pit and which Lyle brother would make the best sister. Brooks makes a trip down to Powell's and we chat about reading books, getting a GED and old man foot problems as we approach 40. We finally figure out Brooks' mayoral slogan, getting in school yard fights and how much John hated high school wrestling. Brooks reveals that he is a Black Widow Notary and Simon is half caveman. A Thanksgiving dinner alternative is suggested 2 months late and Simon teaches his daughter the joys of the mixtape. John rants about candy and radio stations while Brooks accepts a truly prestigious, completely authentic award from the POD academy. Enjoy!
