Episode Drunk (Bonus Episode)

This was meant to be episode 7, but Chris was depressed and got drunk. Tanner took it upon himself to try and make Chris "feel." As a result, there's not a whole lot of structure to this episode, so we decided to not make it canon. It's still well worth a listen.

What you're in store for: the limits of white bourgeois politics, massaging teachers, Deadpool, a gunfight and a murder, encyclopedias, cat burping, Wilson Phillips, and not feeling anything.

Episode 4: Chris Lives! (Solo Episode)

Episode 3: Bars, Pete and Pete, and Unlovability

Chris rants about loud bars and too-serious bar trivia teams. Tanner declares Pete and Pete the best children's show ever, and is shocked to find out about a convicted sex offender director (who isn't Roman Polanski) that continues to make movies. And then...things take a turn. Chris is depressed and in crisis, convinced he'll never find love. Be advised folks, this is a rough last (after credits) segment.
