Discussions included two car accidents that John was recently associated with, stuff from the group page for the first ever “Scoop on the Group”, and the overall debauchery the two get into at such places like Casey’s and “The News Junkie Pinewood Derby”. Speaking of The News Junkie, John and Coleman let the cat out of the bag (but the puke in) on what happened to John during their #125 Secret Show, and they rip the paper bag incident wide open as John tries his best to explain his side.

“Did Ya Hear?” has some popular news stories such as the idea of raiding Area 51, all the Disney live-action movies, the FaceApp’s Old Age filter, and much more!

91. We Just Don’t Get It



John and Coleman find themselves saying the phrases “I don’t get it” or “I don’t understand” a lot in this one. John’s luck has been turning around, the sun has been burning him, and his phone is getting crappier. Coleman made his signature pizza “The Piesenberg” for the KitchenKillaz Monday wrap-up show. They also discuss the Orlando Weekly voting, and encourage you to nominate/vote. Also, Happy late Mother’s Day!

During “Did Ya Hear?” is where John and Coleman’s confusion peaks. Between a guy getting arrested for a silly bumper sticker, to an airplane pilot getting busted at the airport for a triple homicide from 4 years ago. We just don’t understand or get it! People are crazy, and there’s just no stopping that. John and Coleman discuss a number of other things so make sure to listen, and then share, rate, and review. We would love your vote for “Best Local Podcast” under ‘Local Color’ at www.OrlandoWeekly.com .

86. Lost and Found of Voices & Interview with David Batten



This episode John and Coleman interview David Batten from Liberty Health Sciences during the middle portion, or the meat of the show if you will! They were also joined by Rocky from “What’s the Fuss?” podcast, and had some questions for David about being a manager of a Florida medical dispensary. They tried new things, shared laughs, and had a good ol’ time getting informed. Though some of it may seem common knowledge, people just like to pretend they know when they actually don’t.

Also Coleman lost his voice while yelling during an Orlando City Soccer match, and apparently found other voices within himself. They do “Did Ya Hear?” along with the monthly prize giveaway in the last segment. The timeline for this one jumps around and the settings of recording change, but we hope you continue to laugh with us or at us. And tip your pizza maker!


79. MLK Day, Total Eclipse, & Lesley Jo



John and Coleman have on the most recent guest from our Backyard Sessions, comedian and host Lesley Jo! Instead of raffling off a bunch of questions at her though, she just hangs out. Discussions include Coleman and John’s week, Steve Harvey two different times, Nerf dart shooting, and of course a lot more!

For the segment “Did Ya Hear?”, it was too easy to talk about the Eclipse, the Super Bowl match up, and Martin Luther King Jr Day – so that’s exactly what happened! As we get closer to multiple changes with the show, it is coincidental that Coleman has a new living situation as well. Also, how is burnt ash white on black surfaces but black on white surfaces? We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy chatting, legalize marinara, and LAUGH WITH US OR AT US!


78. Phone Games & Double Doink



This episode John and Coleman are sick and delirious, yay! It made for a fun time, as always. Discussing about all of the various types of phone games that there are as a way to pass time on a daily basis. Also, it was a Double Doink!

In “Did Ya Hear?”, Coleman shows John a video he hasn’t seen before, and it is absolutely gross! They talk for a second about the Golden Globes, as well as some iffy scientific research. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy chatting! LAUGH WITH US OR AT US.


Backyard Sessions 10 – Simon Sez of Simon Time Trivia



Episode 10 of Backyard Sessions features Simon Sez from Simon Time Trivia! This interview was an absolute treat. It was a blast going from discussing how far back his trivia goes, to how he controls difficult crowds, and beyond!

Simon tells John and Rocky about his professional wrestling experience, including some nice (and not so nice) interactions regarding the sports entertainment industry. Conversations also include superb fashion and certain racial tension. The discussion was extensive and covered more than this description could do justice. It’s our longest Backyard Session yet, it was fun, and we as always learn in-depth about our very special guest, CHECK IT OUT!


68. Hijacked Areeka Frankren



This episode John and Chris “Pizza_Piesenberg” Coleman chat during the middle of the day, and holy smokes was it hot on the PodPatio!

They try a new beer as well ; also John almost died (Well not really, but the potential was there).

In addition, John and Coleman interpret a music video that may or may not relate to summer, then they have “Did Ya Hear?” covering the death of the “Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin and a stolen plane from Seattle/Tacoma International Airport.

67. Exotic Animals / guest Australian Rapper ‘Mugzy’



On this episode, John and Coleman talk about exotic animals – there are ones that would be cool to own, then there are ones that are underestimated, and of course ones that can fight! We also have our very first international guest, as we talk on the phone with Australian rapper ‘Mugzy’ Brady! It was awesome discussing music from where it has been to where it’s going, as well as discussing his experience making music. We even pick his brain a bit about the culture in Australia, and man can you hear it in his voice!

In segment two we interpret a music video as best as possible, and do some “Did Ya Hear?” – What is the deal with smoked watermelon and watermelon soup? We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting. Stay weird and LAUGH WITH US OR AT US!

66. Chico’s Brain Wit or Witout Cheese Whiz



This episode features Danny Chico and Darkness from the “Chico’s Brain” Podcast! We had nothing prepared and was late to our own show, but despite that they were still cool with us! It was awesome having them on and we discuss numerous things such as bad first impressions, John and Darkness both being from Philly (somehow cheese whiz jizz), and we even try and jump into Chico’s brain for a bit!

We try a new thing in the beginning of segment two. Upon us requesting for unique music videos to good songs, we received a number of good ones and are going to try and break them down as to what we think is going on. We also have a thing or two for “Did Ya Hear?”. We can not thank Mr. Chico enough for staying up past his bedtime to hang with us, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting. – LAUGH WITH US OR AT US! & Get Weird.

Check out her youtube channel www.youtube.com/BritneyStinson or blog “ithotaboutit”. – Orlando Anarchy vs Arkansas Wildcats, Friday 7/27 4pm Fifth Third Bank Stadium on ESPN 3.

In episode 64, John and Coleman catch up after taking a week off, John mentions his new schedule, they recap a bit of the World Cup, and also read some of their wonderful reviews from the listeners! It is extremely humbling to have so much positivity spread in relation to the show.

We also have a gauntlet of topics from a loyal listener (Thanks Rob)! From discussing if John can cook, to discussing which coast is the best in Florida, to straws, and to hardware stores. John and Coleman also discuss whether they prefer being funny, or being informing. – Which do you prefer, information or humor?

Bonus #5 – Georgia, Gardening, and Space Force



Bonus number 5 is Rocky, Coleman, and John shooting from the hip. We talk about a lot from discussing Coleman’s vacation in Georgia (and why he has a black eye), to Rocky channeling his feminine side as he has begun wearing flower shirts, getting tattoos of flowers, and recently picking up gardening as a hobby. And the song during our break is interesting (to say the least).

We also get into conversing about the potential idea of a Space Force, as well as the future event of John fighting Pinkman (in little detail). Aside all of that, we talk about more in between. We always have a good time when the 3 of us get together and this episode was no different. Even though it’s called a bonus, be warned that there is nothing extra! Just a couple of dudes having an awesome time. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording! – LAUGH WITH US OR AT US!
