Ep.49 Hawaii - Flap Slaps
Listen... I take no responsibility for the name... Derek takes the Lads on a grand tour of Hawaii and its... just odd rules involving the islands and the whether or not the man from Minons is allowed to sink them. Brace yourselves as the clock is about to strike midnight! And Watch as our magical carriage ofa podcast returns to its pumpkin shape! (I don't know what I'm saying anymore...) #ThisIsStatehood
Ep.48 Iowa - Papa John's B.B.P.S
Can YOU fingure out the title? Join the Lads as they explore, yet another forgotten state! Iowa may be relitively close to us here in the Midwest. But do we sure forget it's there! Also!

Ep.45 Connecticut - It's Pronounced Pączki
Let's see YOU pronounce it! But yeah, the Lads are back! And the little state of Connecticut has a healthy amount of weird for us to explore! #ThisIsStatehood
Ep. 44 Rhode Island - Nude Magic Tricks
Rhode Island is the smallest state but it surely didn't disappoint. Anthony gives the lads several new ways to look at life and may have lost his mind along the way. See if we have to find his replacement on this weeks comedy packed episode with topics ranging from nude antics, emus galore, and all the ways Anthony looks at life!
Remember to tell your friends and as always drop us 5 stars on whatever platform you listen on!

Ep.40 Alaska - A Western Nessie
What better way to mark our second biggest mile stone with the largest state???

We're officially in the final stretch! #ThisIsStatehood
Ep.39 South Carolina - Too Sexy?
Some say that the stateof South Carolina might just be TOO sexy. Others might not know what you're going on about... 2/3 of the lads are in the latter camp... Derek takes the lads on an adventure through S. Carolina in the ways that only Derek knows how! By making us ask SO many questions and answering very... dismally... few of them. Will also takes us on a detour with a rare Statehood Abroad! #ThisIsStatehood
Ep.38 Arkansas - Drop A Fidy For A Billy

But! the lads are still here to bring the laughs at the weird that is ever present in every state! Tag along as we discuss MORE misplaced animals, visit a place that collects relics of the past, and present another illicit sandwich! (No... Not like last time...) #ThisIsStatehood
Ep.37 North Dakota - The Incident...
The Lads are back! It's been a wild late Autumnal/ early Winter season, but Derek gives us a tour through N. Dakota to get our wheels rolling again. And if you're thinking, "Is there even anything IN N. Dakota?" you'll be happy to know, in fact, there is not! Join the Lads as we discuss Popcorn machine rules, weaponized yo-yos, the numerous large animal sculptures, and what will be here by referred to as, "The Incident" We're rearing toward the end! #ThisIsStatehood

Ep.31 New Mexico - The Weenie Wars!
If 1.2 millions years of porn doesn't excite you what will?! This week we hit the dry alien rich deserts of New Mexico to dip our toes in all sorts of places.

Ep.17 Wyoming - All Bad Everything
We've had some... troubling conversations in this show. And I think that should speak a LOT about the fact that this one is named as it is. Join the Lads this week as they trek through the beautiful lands of Wyoming where people feel a little TOO comfortable in their own skin, where the local nomenclature is just really different, and where you'll hear the MOST upsetting article we've discussed on your morning commute.
