Here's your ad free Super Mario Bros Super Show Show episode! Holy shit we spoke to John Stocker who was the voice of Toad (and more!) in the original 1989 show, who is just incredibly cool and charming. John told us a ton about working on the Mario show and gave us his take on whether that’s Toad’s head or his hat. Plus, Mark and Jeremy discuss the podcast thus far and how they missed Mario saying “Fuck you Luigi” in episode one. This episode is sponsored by a man of mystery named Je...

Bill and Matt sit down with Cro-Mags legend John Joseph and get real about John's life and struggles. It's an intense conversation but John's story telling is something you got to hear for yourself.

OK so Jeremy hates this episode and Mark thinks it’s about drugs, which it definitely is. As usual Mark, forgets most of the major plot points of the show he just finished watching, but there’s a pretty whiny genie who shows up and (twist) she’s pretty funny. Listen as Mark and Jeremy FIGHT over this episode (they actually just discuss it like normal but they disagree).

Here's your ad free episode! Matt and Bill talk interview Andy Hurley, drummer of bands like Earth Crisis, Racetraitor and the little indie group Fall Out Boy. They talk about idyllic straight edge life, competing vegan coffee shops and Anarcho-primitivism (Don't worry, it gets explained).

Mark and Jeremy discuss a shocking cover of Michael Jackson’s BAD that appears in this episode and Jeremy pretends he knows what’s happening even though he does not realize until he edited it that the song does not appear in the Netflix version of the show. Mario and Luigi hang out with a very sad orphan in the live action segment and that’s the guest star. It’s an orphan.

Join as Mark realizes a lifelong dream of having a conversation about Sgt. Slaughter with a WILLING PARTICIPANT. Also, Mouser makes his first appearance, but that’s Sheriff Mouser to you, you vermin! That’s because Mario and the gang have a bounty on their heads in this extremely thin reference to Westerns that actually really rules.

Oh Jesus Christ, Toad has been kidnapped by a goddang BIRDO but Hard Drive editors Mark and Jeremy on the case to figure out what the hell that even means, to be honest. Also there’s a pretty important discussion about how Pasta Man is a religious symbol and Nicole Eggert shows up in the live action segment.

Which podcast team do you think will become the first to hate each other but also be too succesful to stop doing the podcast and just have to keep the whole hatred thing secret and pretend to still be buds while recording?
