Episode 51: The Boys Go to Disney World
The boys are back! And they're talking about why children's cartoons are so messed up. I know it's been a while, but we've been training in a mountain top monastery deep within the unknown regions of southeast Asia. Unfortunately, that training had nothing to do with podcasting, so we're a little rusty. So nothing really has changed.

Episode 49: Don't Drink the Tap Water, it Will Make You Kill People
This week the boys talk about serial killers and where the ding dang heck they all went. In other news, I am proud to announce that Sonic the Hedgehog is my new best friend. We go on adventures and have dinner together. I know you're all jealous, and I want to congratulate everyone who entered the contest to become my new best friend because you all did very well and should be proud of your performances. But no one did as good as my lifelong pal Sonic the Hedgehog who also paid me $12 when he only owed me $10 for dinner. What a guy!

Episode 48: THE SEXTERRESTRIALS ARE HERE
This week Jeremy is absent (because he's a tool) so it's just Boy on the Case! But that means John gets to talk about aliens and be weird with it. The problem with aliens is that even if they’re wicked hot we won’t be able to talk to them so how would you even flirt with them? I can’t even flirt with people who speak English, much less life from another planet. I can’t even flirt with my girlfriend :(

Episode 47: +2 Stealth for Adultery
This week the boys figure out which U.S. president would win in a battle royal style death match! Spoilers: its not Andrew Johnson. Update for those who have been reading the episode descriptions—we have made it through our joke shortage and now have a joke surplus. We will, however, not be lowering joke prices back to where they were before the shortage. The higher prices will go towards ensuring a stronger customer experience, and raising employee pay rates by 20 cents :)

Episode 46: Ho Ho— OH NO!
This week the boys discuss theme parks and how they went from a place to wash yo nasty body to a Disney themed, overpriced bar. The bad news is I don't have a funny goof or gag for the description for this one. I used them all up. Jokes are a limited resource, and without careful planning and sustainable practices they can run out. In fact, the UN predicts that at our currant rate we will have hit peak comedy by 2050, leading to a global humor crisis. That's why here on Boys on the Case we recycle our jokes as much as possible.

Boos on the Casket: Halloween Special 2021
Happy Halloween ghouls, fiends, and non-binary monsterfolk! To celebrate the spookiness the boys watched John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) and made this commentary track to listen to alongside it. While it is not necessary to watch the movie alongside the commentary, we recommend you do so for the full experience. It'll feel like the boys are in the room with you (minus the odor).
Watch The Thing (1982) on Hulu, Amazon Prime, and YoutubeTV

Episode 45: Ku Klux Klam
The Halloween festivities continue this week with another spooOOoky question. This week the boys discuss why some people don't like the sensation of fear, while others are complete weirdos who want to experience the brain chemical cocktail that happens when being chased by a ghoul or a goblin. Idk what a ghoul is for sure, but I know its different than a gabagool- which is an Italian meat.

Hey fandom, people please don't like cancel us or harass us on Twitter until we quit our jobs. I'm sure some of y'all have great reasons for sending death threats to fan artists and all that cool stuff you guys do. And ignore Jeremy, y'all keep trucking with those bad fan games.

Nat Update: it turns out they are fruit flies but idk where these little bastards came from. I discovered they love beer, which does endear them to me a little bit, but their reign must end. I'm gonna pick up some apple cider vinegar later, which is apparently like a poison apple for these mfs, and I'll get back to y'all on the results.

Episode 40: Oh Lawd Nibiru is Comin'
Aw man, oh geez guys. I don't want to panic everyone but Nibiru is coming and its flippin' huge y'all, it's gonna jack up the poles and everything. I blame Percival Lowell and his insatiable hunt for Planet X which surely angered Nibiru cause it didn't want to be bothered and now its gonna pass by us and mess up the mantle of the Earth's crust and kill us somehow. Man, am I TOed at astronomers for really goofing this one for us, man those stupid math people and their need to mess with planets.

Episode 39: Man, I Wish my Wife was an Anime
I'm going to be honest, I don't have any good anime jokes for the description. I would have more time to think up one, but MY WIFE is always nagging me about unimportant things. You know how women are, "John, go do this. John go do that. John, I can't believe you showed up to the funeral drunk." It's like I can't do anything right.

Episode 37: Genital Talk (Scientific)
This week the boys discuss the bits and bobs on the human body left over from our monkey days. Oh what days those were. Sitting in trees, eating fruit, fighting other monkeys. Even better, back when we were simple fish. No lofty dreams of walking or driving cars. Only swim and eat. Can you imagine? The sweet bliss of fish existence. And then one fish said to another, "Glub Glub" (Translated: "Brother, I long for more! For the surface, where there is open fields and an endless bounty of foods"). The other fish, being older and wiser, responded in kind, "Glub Glub" (Translated: "Nay, you fool! your youth grants you courage and ambition, but it clouds your mind with visions of grandeur and luxury. In your endless drive for adventure you shall doom not just yourself, but your very soul!"). And then the younger fish grew legs and went on land and now I have to pay rent so fuck that fish, I hate him.

Episode 36: Fight Deez Nuts
This week the boys talk about fighting games and if people enjoy being challenged. Hi everyone, It's me John, co-host of the investigative "comedy" podcast Boys on the Case. I have recently started a campaign to get every member of the show with a deez nuts joke, and I have so far been rather successful. If you are a listener of the show, I'm calling my shot now. I will ensnare all the other members. Mark my words. If you are part of the cast, this is a warning. You can lie to yourself and think, "John won't get me with a deez nuts joke, I'm too cleaver." I allow you to feel comfort in this false sense of security. Grasping foolishly to delusions of safety only sweeten the moment when I make the kill. I got Basir, and then Deyson. Its only a matter of time before I get you as well.

Episode 35: IRS Please Don't Listen to This Episode
This week the boys tell you how to fake your own death and disappear. And hey, we make a lot of good goofs about committing tax evasion in this episode, but that was all for show. Don't commit tax crimes. For starters, it seems a lot of work for little reward. And even if you did commit tax evasion how would you max more money without dodging the taxes on that too? Its like that book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. It's real cute, you should read it.

On this weeks episode the boys discuss what your car says about you and how to become the most powerful high schooler. Reality is merely a verbal quilt of your own design. In this inverted sea of feeble cravings you wield the loom by which perception is crafted. Here me now, o weaver mine, go forth and feast on the mental weakness of your rivals. What I'm saying is its fine to manipulate people lmao. Oil is optional.

On this week's episode the boys investigate mermaids and the flatness of the Earth. Oh the Earth is round, huh? Then explain why my wife left me and my kids won't talk to me anymore. If its soooOOOooo round then how come I got fired for "verbally assaulting my co-workers with self-propelled delusions?" If we really live on a globe then explain how come I'm wanted by the FBI for tax fraud. Yeah, checkmate sheeple.

Episode 30: Dysentery's Funny Nautical Cousin
This week the boys investigate ocean madness (spooky) and the reason some songs stay in your head forever and ever and ever. By the way, don't drink salt water. We talk a lot about drinking salt water in this and so now I'm telling you to super not drink it. Tastes terrible btw, no appeal at all. I thought maybe it would deliver some extra kick, but no sir it does not. If you want water with kick just drink vodka or something.

Episode 29: Evolution has a Sense of Humor
This week, the boys talk about possible future animals and the science behind ass. That's right, ass. Butts. Booties. Carolinas. I'm gonna be honest with y'all, this one gets horny, but not in our normal way. In fact, it gets a little gross. Y'all ever heard of sexual farting? I said say look it up, but, ya know. Unless you're into that, in which case chase your bliss. Also, if you are into it, I have a lot of questions. Please email me and let me know.

This week the boys investigate the origins of taxidermy and why people play around. Also, I'm not sure if this is the best place to talk about this, but I'm in the market for a domesticated steer so I can get it stuff and mounted and all that. Not like that, you pervert. I'm talking about skin art. No not like that either. Listen, do you have a domesticated steer or not? Because I'm willing to drop twelve g's to have this thing immortalized as a skin puppet in my foyer.

Episode 27: No One Told Me Lucid Dreaming Was Scary
On this week's episode the boys tackle rude hand gestures and lucid dreaming! Lucid dreaming seems hard, but it's actually very simple. Just follow these easy steps: 1) through out the day do a task that reminds you that you're awake, such as counting your fingers, 2) make a dream journal to help you remember you dreams and focus on them, 3) ignore the sleep demon in the corner of the room and for the love of God don't make eye contact with it or accept any of its deals, 4) Do. not. talk. to the demon. His name is the Sunken One and his sole pleasure in life is mortal torment. The only known ritual to banish him is the impossible task of getting a full nights sleep.

Episode 26: The Name's Danger . . . Vape Danger.
On this week's episode the boys investigate popcorn lung and how many holes the human body really has. Is it 2? 7? maybe a couple trillion? I'm not really sure tbh Jeremy got a little philosophical towards the end. It's kinda like the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey where get to come up with your own interpretation. This episode was not directed by Stanley Kubrick.

Episode 25: Richard Nixon Ate Alone Like a Loser
This week the boys investigate how much sleep you really need and which famous figures would make the best (or worst) streamers! And I don't want to make a habit of discussing spoilers in the description, but Andrew Johnson was a bad president, man. Just look it up, that guy sucked. I'm not talking about Andrew Jackson, but he sucked too. Lot of bad Andrews out there I guess. Sorry to all our fans named Andrew.

This is a horny one, but it's not Johns fault this time. In a very progress episode both our detectives are women! (wozers). And we let them talk about issues that woman have to face! (wowzers so progressive). Also John and Jeremy make some really bad jokes. Consistency is key.

Episode 17: Save it for Marriage, Don't Fall in That Lava
Oopsie, I almost fell into that flowing river of molten rock and boiled all my skin and bones and stuff. This week on boys, Jeremy breaks down which holiday is truly the worst for single folk (He does math, so be warned). Then John talks about all the cool ways lava will destroy the human body, and there are quite a few. My favorite is asphyxiation.

Episode 15: Basir Really Steps in it
Forbidden words are punishable by death. The list includes: "bad podcast," "not funny," and "Jeremy." This week John tackles figures from ancient history and how they might fare in modern day America. After, Jeremy talks about scary, upsetting sea creatures. Also just a PSA, please dont eat sharks. There's like a wicked amount of mercury in them and consumption can be dangerous, especially for pregnant women. This isn't really a goof, I just worry about y'all.

If a juicy ant walks by and gives you the look, just keep walking. it's a trap. This week John discusses that good stuff that bees crave, and, as usual, it gets kinda gross. This one is inherently gross though so its not John's fault, okay? After, Jeremy talks about time travel? Or was it multi-verse theory? I couldn't quite follow.

Sorry, this podcast is only for people who play the trombone. This week Jeremy debates whether participating in marching band is a sport, or a feat of athleticism with some competition mixed in. There's a difference, okay? After that John examines Benny Frank's discovery of changing the clock, and how that still haunts society to this day. Apologies for any jokes made at the expense of fishermen. I'm sure you're all good people.

Episode 7: What, You Think I'm Your Friend? Idiot
Kylie Jenner is my best friend- I swear to Gawd. This week the boys discuss parasocial relationships and how the phenomenon interacts with our culture. Also Jeremy brings up simps again and recycles other comedians jokes because that's just what he does now. I'm really trying to get him to stop, but it's only getting worse. Jeremy, I know you're reading this and we're all growing concerned.
