ProCo 198: MTV Will Smash Your Grandma – Trashed

Here’s some free advice, from the game show professionals to you, dear listener. DO NOT offer any of your personal items to MTV if you don’t want them to get smashed.

Zach’s carabiner is keeping the tigers at bay, Jared is holding a grenade, and Adam has dirt on Chris Hardwick.

Talking Points Include: Baseball is Closed, Government Lock-Ins, Presidential Bowling, The Hardwick Bell Curve, The 90’s Vibe, I Am MTV, Game vs Show, Historical Document NFTs

ProCo 197: Pearl Harbor, Nebraska – My Kind of Town

Apple Spotify Rss

There is no denying that small towns have a certain charm. The quaint environment they provide is something you just can’t get in bigger cities. But know this, every single one also has something weird going on. It might be troll themed. It might have a hyperfixation on a sitcom from the 60s. It might name itself after American tragedies and host an oyster festival despite not being costal. Ok, we made that last one up, but you get the point.

Zach brings sherry, Jared gets roasted by his hometown, and Adam truly misunderstands Alf.

Talking Points Include: Frasier Vibes, Spin Off Combos, Spooky Re-Edits, Bug Pranks, Not Our Hometown, Mayberry Fest, Making a Weird Town, The Landlocked Oyster Festival, Wolf Flu, Cold Hard Cash
