Tangent Quest

Get hyped! The Boys talk about the hottest and most salacious topic this week .. TREES and other tree related topics. We know you have all been waiting for this one so buckle in for terrible intros, breakfast foods, and Andrews new favorite podcast Completely Arbortrary.

Jeff and Hayden try to podcast without their best business associate around. SCRUBS (the TV show), beer labels, ice cream, Jeff is scared that there aren't enough podcasts.

Text Andrew your podcast recommendations.

THE BUGLE vs THE DAILY

The witty, comedic British news podcast up against the journalist rigger of the Daily. It's the March Newsness Finals. Plus a lot of talk about waffles. 

Our review starts at (17:37)

News and more news! It’s getting spicy as we narrow in on the finals of the newsiest news! We make great news points and maybe a talk a little about the important things in life like becoming professional Pokémon gamers.

We're down to the final 8. Some of our favorite comedy news podcasts, bracketed against some actual good news podcasts. Plus, Hayden's back from vacation, Andrew wants to get a tattoo and is interested in your suggestions, and lots of news talk.

In what is, and probably will always be, the most serious episode of TQ every recorded, we return to Making Sense with Sam Harris with a Harris disciple, Al. We talk business, what it being a philosopher actually means, and why our generation has been sabotaged into thinking meditation is just for hippies. 

We're back after a short hiatus! 

This week we start with our March Madness of news podcasts. We pit the entertaining news vs... the actual real news that you would get news from.

T.Q. #39: The Cracked Podcast

Oh boy this one is full of nostalgia! The boys have a heartfelt revisit of Harmontown through a special live event before getting teary eyed over the now deceased Cracked Podcast. We also discuss the superiority of hot beverages and Andrew complains about chess.

Is your Monday morning sad and miserable? Well you probably need some Bill Burr to liven it up! And if that doesn’t do it for you, at least you can always listen to us ramble on about orgasm noises, fancy ice cubes, and Avant Guard artistic movements in the 1920s Soviet Union.

This week the gang listens to a comedic "advice" podcast, and dishes some advice of their own. Also, Andrew has an addiction problem, we sneak in a little video game corner, and the return of Harmontown.

Listen, if you don’t already know what chiclets are and why they are being spittin’ then you may have to study up on some Letterkenny, because we are going full hockey-bro-mode is this episode! We also talk over cereal podcasts, fax fraud, and make some grand plans to hawk a T.Q. vinyl record on the streets so you don’t want to miss this one.

The gang really gets into it on this one. Costco, Extravagant Purchase Corner, TQT, and Andrew dropping his knowledge bombs about business and just doing stuff you like.

Email us a great thing you did for a chance to win a sweet TQ hat.

Will we spend too much time talking about Peloton erotic fan fiction and cultivating the perfect marketing campaign to get that sweet sponsorship money? No! Because this week’s podcast Revisionist History is so good we need the time to talk about it!

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd here we go, his week the gang gets into politics, but not really. We're talking about More Perfect, a surprisingly interesting podcast about the Supreme Court.

This week the gang tries to cope with a week without Hayden by diving into a music podcast. Also, if you haven't heard, though how could you have not, Andrew is getting a Peleton, and it's going to be glorious. 

Listen. You would think that in this episode we talk about The Joe Rogan Experience. I would think so too by the title, but here is the thing … we don't. We basically talk about the Joe Rogan's guest in episode #1554, Kanye West, and how crazy he is the whole time. And you know what? I’m not even sorry about it! This one was a ton of fun.

Wow. A Thanksgiving episode? This is real proof of our devotion to this podcast. This week the gang dives into an NPR history podcast. Jeff doesn't like history. Hayden LOOOVVEESS history. Andrew.. who knows what that guys into, he's got a Peleton so that's all you really need to know. Extravagant Purchase Corner makes a return. The guys role play what Mad Men in 2003 would be like. It's quite the time. 

The boys finally live their dream podcast scenario and just spend wayyyy too much time talking about Taco Bell. It's very possible that the Taco Bell talk was longer than the Podcast talk. What does that say about us as people? Probably not good things...

If you don't like Taco Bell, skip ahead to 32:12 (sorry).

This week the Gang dives into a true classic and reviews Hello Internet (starting at 25:25) after we get distracted with purchasing love stocks, infinite tiling, and our match making sponsorship. Oh, also Andrew cuts his finger off.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Wow, what an episode. This is the end of season 1, and really the end of an era. This week we're talking about the perhaps problamatic podcast, Pardon My Take. If you don't like football, don't worry, because we spend maybe 5 minutes talking about it.
Is Jeff grumpy in this episode? Yes. Do we go way off the rails? Yes. Is there a mental health corner? Absolutely. Is this episode way too long? I don't know, you tell me.

The Gang comes back together this week and attempts to focus on the Dollop podcast while mostly getting distracted by naked cats, happiness per dollar ratios, and Battlestar Galactica. Does it get any better?

Well we messed up this one... here's a quick update on the future of the pod, and on our "lost" episode (which you can find in the description below). 

Buckle in and embrace your inner nerdiness as we in depth on D&D podcasts and our very our Dungeons and Dragons campaign. I can hear the D20s rolling now! For those out of the loop, don’t worry, we also talk about less cool stuff like bow-hunting fish from motorcycles.

The gang tries to listen to a productivity podcast, and it goes exactly how you'd imagine it would. Plus listener mail, ANTS!, future ideas on talking about Korra, poopy soup, and other tangents.

LETS GOOOOOO! The lit fam hype squad talks over new lingo, Avatar, being able to touch your toes, D&D, and eating poop for health. We even get to the feature Enormocast podcast eventually, but I mean, who cares about climbing mountains if you don’t win prize money? Bet.

Another Harry Potter themed episode… What are we even doing anymore? Why even talk about podcasts? We all know where this is going… We're just dissolving Andrew's psyche one show at a time. 

The gang gets some female flare added in as guest star Niki talks the boys through cheating dreams, hair style judgements, and how to be a comedian as we focus on Whitney Cummings Good For You podcast featuring Taylor Tomlinson.

The boys relax with jade rollers and palomas while taking about Dr. DisRespect drama, Vonnegut books, and conspiracy theories. We dive into the feature 99% Invisible podcast and re-haul all of your favorite sports with improved rules. This is a good one for sure.

The Harry Potter bet comes to an unsurprising end! The group listens to the most bizarre podcast thus far, Welcome to Night Vale. Andrew has some rants, the group makes up a game on the spot. All around good stuff.

Oh boy... the time has come. The whole group gets together to discuss a true beauty of a podcast, My Dad Wrote a Porno. 

The gang discuss one of their favorite podcasts, Freakonomics. Andrew starts a challenge to read the first Harry Potter book. And the group has a long discussion about how far away we are from a babelfish. 

The group gathers to talk about canoeing, news podcasts, politics (but not for long, I swear), and alcoholic beverages. This week we listened to the Ologies podcast, and specifically the Mixology (COCKTAILS) episode of Alie Ward's podcast. Plus Andrew commits to reading Harry Potter.
