Episode 81 - S-S-S-Sleepy Elton John

Taking an intermission episode before releasing part 3 of the Seth conversation. Justin got us fired up to record on Monday and said he would have a guest, so Nath and Drew decided to pull it together to show up today… and then Justin disappeared five minutes before the recording started. So instead, you got the two sleepy boys giving it their best on topics as wide-ranging as where Justin might be, barbecue sauce, The Home Gunsmith, Bill Burr on NPR, and the history of gambling. Featuring incessant use of “Bennie and the Jets.” We also legally disavow anything we said about politics this episode.

Episode 80 - Podcast History Month with Seth Bullock

Sorry to be late editing, I’ve been playing a lot of live poker the last couple of weeks and haven’t had much free time. And editing this one took a while.

We’re continuing our conversation with Seth Bullock, covering, among other topics, Michael Jackson and Katt Williams, the end of Arthur, new kinds of racism, black entertainment television (not to be confused with Black Entertainment Television), men and their feelings, and some stuff about comedy: How we all met, some of our earliest or favorite jokes, punchlines we’ve written for other people or other people have written for us, our process, and so on.

We’ve still got another part to the Seth episode to come, so stay tuned for that.

Episode 79 - A Farewell to Arms with Seth Bullock

We’ve got a jumbo episode for premium subscribers this week, as Houston comic Seth Bullock joins us for an extra-long conversation. For all you non-paying listeners, you’re going to get it in parts. (patreon dot com slash community shower)

In part 1, we mostly tell stories about doing comedy in Houston (which in Seth’s case involves getting into fights and in Drew’s case involves gay sex), plus some talk about favorite athletes of our childhood and their involvement in video games and strip clubs. Watch this space for the rest coming soon!

Episode 78 - Two in the Plinko, One in the Stinko with Dan Hornstein

We bring Dan Hornstein back as a guest to talk about many topics, including our favorite movies starring comedians, our favorite Price Is Right games, our favorite Jewish rappers and country singers, and also some things that are actually real and not just excuses for puns. We revisit Nikka whiskey and look into comic strip characters Dan looks like. Nath finally tells the Blockbuster story. Jesse was supposed to fill in for Justin as the third mic but he forgot and went to work instead.

Dan’s upcoming show dates:

2/23 - Hosting $2 Bill show at Secret Group

3/6 - Rudyard’s

3/27 - Rudyard’s - Best of Houston 

4/3 - 8th Wonder comedy hour

4/21 - 1743 Post Oak Blvd. (Actual venue unclear)

Episode 77 - P*ssy Beeper with Jesse James

Guest mic in the house! We bring Jesse James back for his third visit to talk to Nath and Drew. Topics covered include stuff we shouldn’t have watched when we were kids, comedy that uses words you can’t say anymore and other words you can say instead, past bits that Jesse missed, our favorite street jokes, and the inverse relationship between weightlifting and cocaine. And we’re a podcast of comedians who say stupid shit, so of course we touched on The Joe Rogan Controversy. But we’ve got such good riffs and banter this episode that the topic doesn’t really matter.

Episode 76 - Christmas with Pitbull (Everybody Should Shut the F*** Up)

I didn’t take any notes while we were recording but I remember talking about sports betting and Pitbull and Rick Moranis and standup stories and why we hate hippies and why we hate Joss Whedon and of course there are more songs. Justin makes a fuckload of noise because he spends most of the episode eating and drinking and playing video games.

Episode 75 - Jeremy-Lin Spears

Welcome to 2022! The Shower Boys are back in full effect, and we cover a lot of topics this episode: G.G. Allin; It’s Britney Bitch; Dan Schneider; Drake’s hands-on approach to Euphoria and Millie Bobby Brown; whether Bruce Willis and Joe Biden pop that pussy; plus much more that I don’t remember. I have “zoologist homophobe” written in my episode notes, whatever that means. Drew and I do some of our best harmonizing yet this episode. We recorded this one on Betty White’s 100th birthday, which I imagine went off splendidly and with no problems.

Episode 74 - Gaynard Flames Queenan

We've got one more episode to close out the year. We pay tribute to the recently departed John Madden; other topics covered include Houston, poker screen names, blowjobs, ad buys, and other people's comedy. Plus there's a lot of talk about eating cookies. And I guess Tool must have come up at some point.

Happy New Year and keep laughing into 2022.

Episode 73 - I’m Dreaming of a White Chicks-mas

Just in time for the holiday, we drop a near double-episode for you to take you out through the end of the year. We may or may not be on hiatus through the end of the year, it remains to be seen.

We cover the holidays, our favorite Christmas songs, the heroes and activists of gay sex, America’s Greatest First Lady, other comedians and comedy podcasts, what we're drinking right now, many other experiences we've had with drinking and holidays and just generally being awful people, and even some original music (sort of).

Justin was here early on but disappeared without explanation. You might hear him in the background at the beginning. Once we determine his location, we'll release the full Justin-included episode on the Patreon (patreon dot com slash communityshower).

Happy holidays, Happy New Year, be safe and care for each other and keep listening.

Episode 72 - Drew Beats Off Covid II: Don‘t Call It a Cumback

Drew's back and we bring you an extra-long episode! Nath and Drew talk about all sorts of stuff: The A-Team, antisocial behavior at parties, Bernie Mac, Bond movies, boxing, the IRA, rum, rap, and probably much more. This episode includes two of our regular segments, "dark corners of the internet" and "random political rant," as well as some corrections to episode 70.
