When We Were There: A Biased Internet History

In the season 1 finale, the boys get the chance to chop it up with the original Indy Moguls, Eric Beck and Justin Johnson! Their impact on independent film making in the internet era cannot be understated, both on our hosts, and on the internet at large. So who better to help us celebrate our first successful season!

Until next time, yours with gusto,

The FriendStyles Boyz

This week the boys take the deepest dive into the muck to discuss the  impact and implications of porn on the internet and technology as a  whole. Online porn is a cesspool teeming with sleezebags, and they  barely scratch the surface.

This week on the world famous When We Were There show, Josh and Thomas plead for the mob's mercy. Fred has suffered enough scorn and desolation. It's time we give the kid a break! Also they talk about entourage.

When it comes to staying power, there aren't many sites that can compete with Newgrounds.com, a first home to many of the web's most influential creators. This week the boys are discussing that influence, and the impact the site has left on them personally.

This week the boys chat it up the machinima O.G. Jon "Digitalph33r" Graham. Together they cover his origins as a creator, his scornful relationship with the Machinima MCN, and how early internet humour has aged like buttermilk.

This week Josh and Thomas forgo speaking with a guest in order to finally expose the scungy business that is Multi-Channel Networks, and what it takes to be a true indie mogul in today's modern world.

This week on the show, the boys chat up a storm with YouTube legend, Judson Laipply, creator of Evolution of Dance! Known for his skills in the physical arts, will he be able to gab it up with the best of them? Only time will tell.

This week on When We Were There, the fellas chat up family friend and cool guy nerd Khayyam Wakil about his online journey. Comparing the state of the web today to the days of the true wild west, they attempt to answer the most fundamental question of them all. Will Asa Akira do the podcast?

The boys sit down with the loveliest guy in town. Liam Kyle Sullivan of "Shoes" and "Muffins" fame tells them all about his journey into becoming a fixture of internet lore. From tights to lipstick, they get into it all!

Working hard or Hardly Working? This week the boys find out the answer with Jeff Rubin of College Humor. Together they go through the history of the site, it's alumni, and the lasting impact it had on the web as a whole.

The boys chop it up with one of Vancouver's seminal artists, and he's not even from here! Together they discuss Vancouver's imminent doom, Fair Use, and maybe even some internet history!

The Boys do a deep dive on one of the greatest villains of time. What makes her tick? Who gave her that awful name? Why is her skin that colour? All these questions and more in the show!

Oh, and they also talk about social media or something..

The boys take a trip to the pre-historic times of the World Wide Web with Aaron Yonda, co-creator of Blame Society Films and the web series Chad Vader: Day Shift Manager. His tall tales take them on a journey from the mid 90s to a magical bus that dispenses money to film makers on the street... but it’s not the Bang Bus!

The boys delve into the seedy underbelly of the justice system that is copyright law, and successfully navigate its twists and turns with the help of indie music mogul, Kevin Macleod.

Thomas will need a new pair of jeans after the boys sit down with one of his favourite channels growing up. From celery to suicide, this week they truly get into it all!
