Terminally Chill

The boys discuss the national events unfolding on November 8th, Hunter updates Matthew on the things going on on the internet, Matthew finds out about toots, the boys talk about fashion (and capitalism?) and then do an extended outro segment on restaurant freakouts. Also, Matthew lies about who he voted for in the last election.

Mama mia! Special guest Friar Nick (@FrNickOFMConv) shows up on the pod to chat with the fellas from alien jail. They talk about the Buffalo Bills, jails, ice cream, movies, and what the most important thing to know about Catholicism is. You're not gonna wanna miss this one! Unless you do want to. And that's okay too. 

Hunter and Matthew are--well, they're tired. They're angry and they're tired. And you haven't been helping out around the house at all lately, and it, well it just makes them sad. They wish you'd do your share. They've been having a really hard time at work lately and it's just not helping to come home to the place like this every damn day. Get it together, man. We need it.

Beef beverages, AI generated podcast prompts, writing advice, and stories about that kid.

Matthew and Hunter go through their top ten things list, and boy, is it a wild ride. Are they in any order? Are they even things? Who's to say, but they talk a whole bunch, and at some points, might even make you smile. Or laugh! The world is a crazy, mixed-up, beautiful place sometimes. Jazz!

Podcasting live from alien jail, the fellas have gotten themselves in a real pickle these days! They discuss the 2007 classic Evan Almighty, some classic rom-coms, read some listener mail, and discuss meatloaves. The second half of the show goes into weird European food, former nations, and why Clemson should secede from the union. Stick around to see if they live or die!

Those wild and crazy boys continue their traverse through space as they discuss baking, board games, and relationships. Some are saying this is the best opening five minutes anyone has ever done on a podcast, ever. If you stick around until the end there might even be a twist. Who's to say? Not me, I'm just the manager who moonlights as a podcast description writer. Guess it all works out the end for us all...or does it?

Holy wow! The fellas go all over the place in this one, as they launch their first episode from space, and somehow create a Patreon account while doing so. Topics discussed include mailing yourself, fish oil, what to get your loved ones for the holidays, the dark side of the moon, and young earth creationism.

The gang gets back together to tell the story of Touchdown the Bear, as well as some other notable bears. They talk about zoos and cocaine, too.

We're back.

Finally, the internet episode! The one about the internet! The boys talk social media, old YouTube, and give some recommendations for content they enjoy. A blast, I tell you, a blast!

Stop me if you've heard this before, but the boys really do go all over the place in this one. From hot boy summer and their attempts to lose some weight, to fruit, to immortality, there's a little something here for everyone. Even the scurvy deniers!

Egg.

Salutations! The fellas hit all the high notes in this one, starting with labor politics before moving to death, mercy, grace, and filling a pool with soda. We're having a great time--I hope you are too.

In what is perhaps their most incredible project to date, the gang fills out their bracket of Top 16 Terminally Chill episodes! Some fun reflection on the past and how far they've come in the podcasting world, and if you listen long enough, you might just hear the SHOCKING episode that wins it all! For those who want to play along at home, check our Twitter @tchillpod to fill out the bracket yourself! Wow! Happy bracket!

Yowie! The boys have their good friend and repeat guest Kluver (@IowaKatholic) on the show to catch up. The gang discusses very important political issues such as frozen pizza, short plays, Margaritaville, and hot tubs. It's a blast!

Yeehaw! The fellas ride into this one talking about some more music. They rally back to discuss the oft-forgotten Justin Bieber/Bill Clinton saga, and then take a turn into cancel culture and mercy. Wowza! They sure did put out more content.

Our long national nightmare ends as the dudes get back together to chat all things Lent! In a very penitential episode, the boys talk weird Midwest food (we love you Midwest fans), Lenten practices, peeing, and McDonalds. Really there's something for everyone here. Here's to another delightful season of odd topics and many laughs!

In this surprise episode, Hunter takes you through one of the classic stories that has just been released into public domain: The Great Gatsby. He reads you the first chapter of the critically-acclaimed novel in a terrifying slew of voices that can be described as somewhere between "generic brand New York City" and "time-traveler from the 50s". Also some of the women are British? It's not very good, and the voices get mixed up, but you can't say he didn't try. And in the end, isn't that what matters?

Happy Valentine's Week! The boys celebrate the only way they know how: a 15 minute discussion about which Weezer song is the most romantic. But hey, if you don't like Weezer, be sure to stick around--they also give out many a love tip and cute date idea after that! Probably not their best work, to be honest. But they sure did try!

Wowee! The boys wander around Podcastland before settling in on....no topic in particular. Matthew airs his frustration with "alpha males", and Hunter gets desperately side-tracked by the Goofy movie series. Lots of tossing and turning and storytelling before a discussion about what the fellas want to get up to after covid and some thoughts about party fouls.

Hooooo boy! The boys start off with Kermit impressions and amusement parks, and then go into a solid discussion on Disney, media obsession, and fandom. Along the way they make stops at Homer Simpson, Santa, Dolly Parton, and Jim the Rhino. Who's Jim the Rhino? Oh, you'll find out all right. They'll all find out. They close with a couple takes on evangelization and being normal for a lovely little lead-up to the season finale!

Oh baby! Not another episode of my favorite podcast! Yes indeed, that is what this is. The fellas do a Tight Five on football and then try out a new endeavor on the show: Reviewing Twitter accounts! Here are the accounts they reviewed on the show: @downbadpatrol @makeupaguy @tchillpod @MaleBulldogs @the_ironsheik. If you liked it be sure to let them know and they'll do it again in the future!

Holy cow! A magnificent crossover episode with Brother Theresa and Reilly (@BrotherTheresa_, @reillycosgrove, @breillypod), KB (@kmcb_22, "Thoughts I Should Keep To Myself" podcast), and Friar Nick (@FrNickOFMConv). We have a grand ol' time hanging out, and topics discussed include: car pope, shark pope, Jell-o, RVs, and a lot of silly stories. Enjoy the chaos!

Wowza! Another hot and fresh episode right off the presses! This one starts with some bangin' Alex Jones impressions, and continues with talk on accents, impressions, musicals, stage fright, classic novels, and art. Those boys sure do love being silly and they don't stop with this one!

For the final episode of 2020, the fellas fire off a range of spicy opinions on everything from movies and cultural media to bowling and young adult activities. If you stick around to the end, you'll get to hear some great Papa John's talk. A little more serious than the other ones, but we think you'll love it all the same. 

It's the Christmas episode! But you'd be forgiven for not thinking that based on the title. The fellas chat a bit about what happened this year and reflect on good times and bad. Lots of fun little anecdotes and stories about this strange year. Hope you enjoy, and here's to more podcast in 2021!

Guess who's back? Back again? Podcast's back? Tell a friend? The boys talk irony and being normal online for a bit before launching into listener questions. Wacky roommate stories and nachos take the forefront until--oh no, what is that THING approaching at the 37 minute mark, my goodness, what could it BE--it's Fuddruckers, folks. The podcast takes a hard left detour to talk about the burger chain and uncover its wild past, present, and perhaps future.

Milk.

As always, the boys set to talk about a topic and veer off wildly throughout. A little chatting about Confession and Confession times to start off, followed by the meat of the episode wherein they discuss weird things they were scared of as kids. A bit over halfway through the episode takes a sharp detour as they get distracted by the tale of Tony Meatballs. All's well that ends well, and this one sure does.  

The boys are back on air--and this time, it's personal. They complain about stuff that makes them upset, talk about being upset online, and really go all over the place. Lots of jokes, some serious talk about empathy and God's mercy near the end (sorry in advance). Matthew and Hunter...might just be getting along this time. Hopefully that one sticks. Also, bowling. 

The boys talk about monkeys for a bit, before diving into the Internet and all of the amazing sites on offer. The Internet really is a magical place! Hunter unfortunately didn’t bring it this episode. He is becoming a liability at this point. *sigh*  I just wanted this to be a good podcast.

Boy howdy! The boys get a little clerical as their first guest, Friar Nick (@FrNickOFMConv) joins the show. They talk about everything from Wario to Wu-Tang, the Muppets to Microsoft Excel. Matthew and Hunter administer a game--Who Said It, Friar Nick or The Grinch?--to their esteemed guest.  Meanwhile Matthew, and stop me if you're heard this one before, makes a complete and utter fool out of himself before they take some listener questions. Yeehaw!

The boys reminisce about college, trading tales of stupidity. Hunter of course embarrasses himself yet again. He really is a buffoon. The boys also unwittingly create a new kind of guy -- the respectful cowboy.

Hunter and Matthew talk about emails and rappers at men's talks. Hunter, an embarrassment of a human being, lays out his opinions on the wasted potential of email as a form of communication. It's super annoying. Classic Hunter am I right? Enjoy the episode. 

Matthew and Hunter discuss a curious purveyor of breakfast meats and his documenting thereof. An attempt to introduce this new maiden voyage occurs and is subsequently botched. Matthew—a hack and complete fraud—comments on the origin of “white knighting” before the boys launch into a full-scale discussion on the rise and fall of the Roman Empi—just kidding, they talk about simping. They decide Matthew is one but Hunter isn’t. The boys wrap up with a couple missed outros and one half-decent one.
