21 AUG 2025 · Way back on episodes 47 and 48 of the BTB Podcast the fellas took a trip "across the pond" as they say to jolly old South Korea as they covered the explosive Netflix hit Squid Game. Well it's been a hot minute and after the release of the second season (and apparenlty the third) Spencer decided now was the time to revisit hte old pals!
Last we saw, our plucky hero Gi-Hun had died his hair a nice shade of bright pink and was preparing to make his way to America. After all he had a whole bunch of squid money and just wanted to fix his relationship with his estranged daughter. But upon seeing the notorious and mysterious "recruiter," he decided instead to go on a John Wick path of vengeance. He's so vengeful!
The guys talk the first episode of Season 2: Bread and Lottery, and along the way discuss whether or not there really even needed to be a season 2 of this show. They also talk the new characters, motivations, and give out plenty of squid facts

30 JUL 2025 · It's a Boob Tube Boys episode something like 6 months in the making as the guys finally return to finish off the 80s supershow that is Airwolf!Â
Van tells Brian and Spencer all about this Airwolf episode where our heroes hike up a rugged mountain with several of their wheelchair bound friends when a mysterious and dirty mountain hobo named "The Cat Man" appears and does exactly what you would think: he murders everyone
What's that? Why yes this show is about a multi-billion dollar helicopter dogfighting with other powerful weaponry. Why do you ask?

13 MAR 2025 · Things that are cool as hell: Ernest Borgnine crankin' it, Wings Hauser doing a big, fat, Texan accent, Roy Starkey (the Chamber of Commerce's Man of the Year, 1985), The Admiral, and of course an attack helicopter with all sort of buttons that say things like "sidewinder" and "chaff"
Well guess what folks? This podcast episode features all of those things and all at once! That's because the BTBs are FINALLY covering the 80s espionage show Airwolf! But while all those things are cool in and of themselves, there's one thing you can add to make everything EVEN BETTER. Have you figured out what it is yet? No it's not a monkey shooting a bazooka (but close guess) it's a SECOND attack helicoper fighting the first attack helicopter!
If you need more reasons to listen to this episode then you're a lost cause. So strap in, push the button which causes your helicopter to start the podcast, and get ready to be blown away

14 FEB 2025 · The BTBs wrap up their 2024 (but in 2025) Creepy Pasta adventure with three more stories written by the fellas themselves. There's no prompt this week so who knows what these stories could be about?!
First Spencer takes a crack at Brian's mystery thriller Saddled with Suspicion, which features not only the debut of a beloved fake gumshoe from a recently covered Boob Tube Boys episod,e but also the return of one of the show's greatest villains (Kevin Sorbo). Will they solve the theft of Big Moses the horse? Only God above knows...
Van then orates Spencer's heart-pounding horror story The Ricotta Room, a stirring addition to the Pete Lightning: Boy Architect universe. But before we find out about all sorts of architect stuff Spencer turns the tables on Van in a twist no one saw coming
Finally Brian finishes up the year's stories by romping through yet another tale in the Death Race series with Van's Death Race 3000. Can our heroic Sean Penn impersonator win the race to save humanity? What is God Jr's deal? Will the bit about bringing his most prized posession come up again or did Van just forget that plot point? Listen to the show and find out, dummy!

31 JAN 2025 · Sure Halloween has come and gone but that doesn't mean January isn't also a frightening time of year! So in honor of the terror of a brand new year the BTBs have once again written their own Creepy Pasta stories and will be reading them to one another. And on this episode there's a writing prompt so all three stories share a theme! That theme? Doppelgängers
First up, Van reads A Familiar Face, which was written by Brian and features the boys themselves trying to solve the myster of just why Van keeps talking about really horrible things. Next Spencer reads Van's tale The Battle of Felucia, which is about soldiers in a war but may contain certain secrets...
And our final story features Brian reading Crash Brothers: A Creepy Pasta by Spencer Hendricks, which was written by Spencer, go figure. This is a tale of high school basketball team and the struggles of a young boy with a stupid name
As always these things were a lot of fun to write and perform and we hope you check them out!

17 JAN 2025 · The Boob Tube Boys already covered Columbo over 160 episodes ago... BUT THERE'S JUST ONE MORE THING! (Ooh that's the thing Columbo says!!!)
That one thing is that the BTBs want to cover Columbo again. That's all. So they do
In this one our heroic detective has to figure out how a short, horny little man with a silver tongue killed his writing partner. The duo of course are the creators of the hit series of mystery novels featuring Mrs. Melville, and clearly there is strife between them. You can bet the boys make jokes about Columbo being a little garbage gremlin, but what you didn't know would happen in this podcast episode is... (Ahh! I was killed by a villain! You'll have to listen to find out! Ahh!)

28 DEC 2024 · Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! May everyone be devoid of osteoarthritis!
The BTBs have a bit of an abbreviated holiday schedule this year but they knew if there's one thing all BTB-heads out there needed, it's more David Boreanaz and more Bones. So Van takes the helm and leads everyone through the bone-dust infected halls of the Jeffersonian institute once again
This time around most of the cast is trapped in quarantine thanks to an eggnog related incident. This causes Booth to miss Christmas with his dumb little boy son, Parker, and as long time Bones fans might know, that's a big deal to the block shaped man. But while stuck in the institute the crew have a murder to solve! Sure it's from over 50 years ago, but maybe, just maybe everyone will learn to love each other in the end
Don't forget to check out our new friends at the Oh Crap! Our Fecal Misfortunes and Foibles podcast on Spotify!

20 DEC 2024 · Bright lights, big stars, and big dreams all lie ahead dear listeners, and all because Brian, Van, and Spencer are taking a trip back to the very beginning of Boob Tube Boys history and discussing another episode of California Dreams!
This time around the band recieves a bunch of fortune cookies from Sam's Uncle Tse-Tse, and for a few of them it doesn't turn out well. I mean it's nothing horrible, like no one dies in this episode or has an abortion or anything, but it's pretty uncomfortable for Tony, at least. However the racism-laden B-plot pales in comparison to the glorious A-plot which sees Jake running into his lifelong idol: rock superstar Zane Walker
The band auditions for Walker who immediately wants to show them to his producer/manager who says a bunch of stuff that's clearly intended to be about the Chuck Berry song Roll Over Beethoven and there's simply no other way to interpret that dialogue. But is Zane really looking out for the California Dreams' best interests? You'll have to listen in to find out...

6 DEC 2024 · Think of the tallest person you know. No, no. Taller than that. OK are you thinking of Emmy Award wiining actor and activist James Cromwell? You know, the farmer from Babe (and presumably Babe: Pig in the City)? No it's someone else you say? Well then perhaps I could interest you in this extremely bizarre episode of the bounty hunter show Renegade?!
You see Cromwell decided that he was no longer content to be known as the star of Babe, he also wanted to stretch his acting legs and take on other, more sinister roles. But why get bogged down by the pressures of plying your craft in a prestige drama when you can instead head over to syndicated 90s TV and not only chew up the scenery but also set the stage on fire? Look you just need to listen to this episode. If you weren't already sold how about this tidbit: Lorenzo Lamas directed it. Wait, no come back!
