The Beach Boys are so f*****g lame. The beach, surfing, happy sunburned white boys singing in perfect harmony? And remember how John Stamos joined the band? What the hell was that?

Two words: THE KEEPERS. I'm sure you've at least heard of the terrifying true crime Netflix documentary everyone is talking about these day that tells the story of what an impossible vortex of horror the Catholic church in Baltimore was and still is.

Dunkin Donuts is another one of those chains that lost it's touch a long-ass time ago. The 1980s were obviously the heyday of Dunkin Donuts when their brown/orange/pink color scheme made sense and people actually wanted to see a depressing commercial where an old man toiled away at donut-making. These days, we don't have many nice things to say about Dunkin Donuts. What's to like? Kassia Miller is here to tell us. Kassia Miller is a writer and actor known for her award-winning pilot Imaginary...

If only eating plants is a good idea for human beings, then why do I have this row of insanely sharp front teeth? Oh, that's not normal? Oops. But seriously, humans are supposed to eat meat. Sure, Dan and I are vegetarians, but we still eat dairy and eggs and did we mention that Kelly is eating fish these days?? So what's so good about an entirely plant-based diet? Andrée Vermeulen is here to tell us! Andrée is a fantastic actress and writer who stars on TBS's Angie Tribeca as Dr. Monica...

Superheroes are a make believe thing that we as humans think we need to save us from bad guys. What bad guys? Donald Trump? I kid.

Wow, talk about topical, amiright? The daily unfolding news about our current president draws more and more comparisons to ol' Tricky Dick and his undoing: Watergate.

Collecting vinyl records might just be the biggest waste of time and space possible... next to collecting cassette tapes, I guess? They collect dust, they get warped, you have to play 'em on a record player. Vinyl was a level of hipsterdom that we never got into. What's the appeal? Andrew Steele, who has been both of our bosses at different times, is here to threaten to fire us if we don't change our minds! Former head writer of Saturday Night Live, Andrew Steele is behind so many amazing...

Oh boy, where do we begin with 4chan? We don't really even know what it is other than the fact that it has to do with reddit? And conspiracy theories? The trolls of 4chan are probably reading this right now and there is nothing we can do to stop them from calling us a bunch of snowflake cuck JEWS. "Jew" is an insult on 4chan so that is a reason right there to hate it's guts. Jesus Loueesus can we just all agree that being racist sucks!? ANYWAY... Our nuts-as-hell friend Matt Klinman is also a...

In another Kelly likes it/Dan doesn't episode, we welcome Jon Beckerman to talk about the lame, dorky characters and comic books behind the new hit CW show, Riverdale.

This week we did a bit of a different format. We addressed the broad subject of being married with one of our favorite married couples, Tracey Wigfield and Adam Countee! What's their marriage like compared to ours? What was their wedding like compared to ours? Was their's better? WHY? For one, their wedding was covered by the G.D. New York Times... So like, I guess that's "better" than a wedding not being covered by anyone but a bunch of people's Instagrams that showed the extensive wreckage...

Apparently people camp for fun. Do mosquitoes, ticks, dirt, and rain sound fun though? I mean like, not to a total weirdo. Because we know weirdos like dirt and ticks. WE KNOW.

Opera has been lost on us basically our entire lives. Opera is something to parody, to make fun of, to look at from afar and say "That seems very boring and strange." So why on earth is it so popular for some people? They have whole big fancy buildings dedicated to these performances! There must be some appeal, right Josh Ruben? "Right!" said Josh Ruben. Josh Ruben is truly one of the funniest humans I've ever seen. Please go and watch all of his old College Humor character videos. They are...

The Bachelor Season 21 just came to a close this week in perfect timing with our episode about it! But wow, what a horrible idea for a show.

But Lang Fisher LOVES The Bachelor and so do a ton of other weirdos so we will give it a whirl! Lang Fisher is a fantastic writer for The Onion and such shows as 30 Rock and The Mindy...

NoFap or No Fap or No Fapping or whatever the hell the boys on the 'net are calling it, is a non-masturbation movement. Is it religious? Is it just for men? Is it dumb? Probably. Don't people need to like, have an orgasm regularly? Isn't that what we've learned after hundreds of years of stifling our urges? Are you serious, George Kareman?

Anime may have been a much bigger subject than we bargained for, we admit it. There are so many different aspects and facets to anime! But a lot of them are really boring, unoriginal, and often sexist. Anime is also really weird but we can't pretend that's a reason to dislike it. Hee-hee. Nate Fernald really wanted to talk about it with us today! Nate Fernald is a writer and buddy of ours who is known for The Pete Holmes Show, Six Degrees of Everything, and for his role as comedian Bart...

Death, Diabetes, and Squalor. This show has turned into a real sad doozy, huh? But we had to do it. This topic is too weird and who on earth "likes" squalor? Well I guess Sam West does.

Diabetes is an epidemic in the US. Many people have died or lost limbs to the disease. We don't know what else to say because our understanding of diabetes is pretty limited.

Craig Rowin is a very talented writer and performer and a great ol' friend of ours. He stars in the Adult Swim show, Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell, wrote for The Jack and...

Make Me Like... DEATH? HAHAHA! Okay, dude... whatever you say. In all seriousness, death is awful. Everyone knows that. Joe Randazzo, are you evil? Joe Randazzo is NOT evil, you guys.

What if you had to wear a big piece of plastic or metal on your face every day to see better? According to the top of my head, probably millions of Americans and even more human beings worldwide do this. Every. Day. Sounds like hell to us. But so many people do it? WHY? Amanda and Michael Klein might have an idea... Michael Klein is Dan Klein's brother. Weird right? They are both products of the same two people having sex. Actually that's pretty cool when you think about it. Sex is cool. B-)...
