The guys cover all the happenings from a jam-packed couple of Big Brother episodes, but it might be a smidge outdated as of upload because this is going up 3 hours before the Sunday episode.

Your friendly neighborhood podcasters neglect their responsibilities to deliver ANOTHER Big Brother recap episode. They shoot straight and don't miss, so you better be ready for a heaping tablespoon of truth:

• Have-Nots picking the next Have-Nots? Here for it.
• CBS giving Da'Vonne a platform to talk about colorism? HERE FOR IT.
• Memphis' HOH reign? Questionable, at best.
• Dani Donato being a piece of human garbage? Color me SHOCKED, pal.

Your favorite hosts digest 2 straight episodes of Big Brother All-Stars and give perfect, bulletproof, and inarguable opinions about the first week in the Big Brother house:

• Why is Kevin STALKING the bathroom when people are just trying to poop?
• Why was the Veto competition this week so PHALLIC?
• Who ISN'T Cody in an alliance with in this darn house?
• What is the GOLDEN RULE, and why is this the first time Anthony is hearing about "respecting other people"?

Join Andrew and Anthony as we try and get over a real weird gym story that Andrew felt inclined to share at the start of the podcast. Honestly, y'all are lucky I edited it down because BUDDY did it make things uncomfortable.

Just a good ol' vent session hosted by the only white, bearded podcasters on God's Green Earth. And buddy, we complain our little tushes off in this episode:

• HOW did the 2-hour live premiere episode ruin the first week of BB22?
• WHY did Kaysar and Janelle both go for the Safety Suite?
• WHY are BB veterans crying on night 2?
• HOW do you wipe your buttcheeks wearing a large, star mascot costume?

Join Andrew and Anthony in our pursuit of answers and healing - especially after hearing the DISGUSTING words that one houseguest had about another houseguest's disability.

INTERVIEW: The Low, Low Woods writer Carmen Maria Machado and artist Dani join us for an interview to talk horror, the new series, and Hill House Comics.  

• Can you tell us a little bit about how the creative team came together on the title?
• Did you learn anything when creating this series and its first issue?
• Why is the comic book medium right for this story?
• Dani, you're so good at making the somewhat ordinary interesting and scary (I'm thinking of the trash outside the house early in the book as the girls ride their bikes, or the girls trying to remember what happened and their heads are made up of hands, parrots, and other things), how do you approach something static and give it life?
• When it comes to character creation where do you start, Vee and Eldora feel so real!
• So Rob Reiner directed Sea Dogs (we see his name on the marquee outside the theater), which also happens to be the backup story in this first wave of Hill House Comics. Why Reiner?
• Carmen, I had to write this down, "babies were born with placentas black as soot...their mothers were birthing coal itself" god that is horrifying! When working in a visual medium do you need to strike a balance between prose style horror like this and visual horror?
• The use of color by Tamra Bonvillain is fabulous, what goes into creating a color palette for a series?
• I'm always curious, was there a working list of titles for Low, Low Woods?
• Who is on your mount rushmore of creators you'd like to work with?
• Joe Hill was on the podcast 7 or so weeks ago and I asked him to describe Low, Low Woods, and he said it's the perfect mix of david's, 50% david cronenberg and 50% david lynch. Would you agree, or maybe you'd have other directors in mind?
• Do you have any personal heroes in the creative arts?
• Favorite moment or issue in the series so far?

Off Topic Top Shelf: Carmen and Dani give us their picks!

A mais jovem deputada estadual do Rio de Janeiro tem 28 anos, é negra, tem origem na favela e trabalhou com a ex-vereadora Marielle Franco, assassinada em março de 2018 com seu motorista, Anderson Gomes.

Dani Monteiro (PSOL-RJ) sabe o quanto a chance de estudar em uma universidade pública, a Uerj, lhe possibilitou estar onde está: "Eu não teria chegado ao Parlamento se não fosse a ocupação de uma vaga numa universidade publica".

Na Assembleia Legislativa do Rio, a deputada tem como eixos de seu mandato a juventude, o feminismo, a segurança pública e a defesa da população negra.

There's a ghost in the machine!!!  At some point in the episode, Luke gets transported to a lonely gas station bathroom for about a minute, so we apologize for the sound quality.  But on his fantastic adventure, we discover that 2 bad Will Smith jokes don't make a good one.  In this, the 23rd episode of our podcast, the boys tackle a movie over 20 years in the making.  See if the 90s can still make a good movie in the 20-teens!  Want to see if 20+ year old high school students are still relevant?  We got that.  Want to see if a 51 year old man can do a push up resulting in a 3 foot jump?  We got that.  Want to hear a small dog tossing a day around in the background?  Oh you bet your butt, we got that too.  It's Dadgum and Reekus unleashed!!!  The girls couldn't make this episode...
