Help! The Christmas spirit is fading away! Puppies are being nabbed off the streets! Late-Playstation-era CGI is running rampant! Christopher Lloyd and Richard Kind need a paycheck! This sounds like a job for none other than our LSP favorites: The Buddies. The 2009 straigt-to-DVD “Santa Buddies,” to be precise. Get ready to JO w/ ur bros, Lonestarinos, it’s time for a children’s Christmas movie. Brought to you by your gin and egg nog addled Uncle Greg.

The father/son duo brave the Fatburger Turkey Cranberry Burger, IHOP Jolly Cakes, Coca Cola Cinnamon, Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry (yes, they too don’t quite know what “winter spice” is), and the Doghaus Turducken Dog. Tune in to find out which one of these food items doesn’t absolutely suck! It might not be the one you think. Brought to you by… nobody. When Ben is gone, so goes the money.

In the whimsical world of so-bad-it’s-good cinema, we at the Lone Star Podcast tip our hats to the greats: Wiseau’s infamous “The Room,” Fragasso’s prequel-less “Troll 2,” Warner’s 0% Tomatometer-awarded “Manos: The Hands of Fate…” the list goes on. Among the grand devisors of these insufferable cult classics lives a titan by the name of Neil Breen. For the last decade, Breen has gifted the world with a panoply of true Lone Star content. Today, Alex and Ben will guide you through his awful, wonderful, baffling masterpiece(ofsh*t), “Fateful Findings.” Hide your laptops and your daughters, folks–Breen has no mercy for either.

LSP 37: Ug Like Veiled Racism

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 06:01:36 +0000

The GEICO Gecko might be cute, he might save you money on your car insurance, but he never got his own single-season TV show with an 8% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Poor little bugger. Join Alex and special guest Larry Morgan, host of the Snark Monkey podcast (that’s the only reason he was invited on the show, there’s definitely no other connection), as they dive into what might be one of the worst sitcoms in the history of television: “Cavemen.” Yes, there was an actual 2007 TV show based on the GEICO Cavemen commercial–you probably missed it and you’re better off for it. And hey, don’t forget to check out Snark Monkey, available wherever you listen to Lone Star.

LSP 33: Sharper Image Divorce Recovery

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 15:29:24 +0000

It’s 2002. You’re in a Sharper Image. You’re getting over a recent break-up. Phil Collins’ brand new comeback album, “Testify,” comes on over the speakers. You remain uninspired. You sit in a massage chair–decide you’ll wait until you get a bigger place before you buy it. You leave. Flash forward 17 years: you sit down and listen to the Lone Star Podcast. Alex and Ben give voice to your moment of ennui from that dark time. We cannot feel it coming in the air tonight, folks. Brought to you by… nothing. Nobody. Nothingness.

LSP 31: Teen Scene Ponzi Scheme

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 08 May 2019 22:59:52 +0000

Last year, The Garbage Boys took a deep dive into the hellscape of monologues written for teens. This time, they’re diving even deeper and mustering up their acting chops to tackle some two-person scenes for teens. Like the monologues, these scenes are not from plays, but a magical database full of standalone pieces written by–um, whoever, it would seem. Buckle up, Lonestarinos, Oscar season is only nine months away. Brought to by… a very mature joke made by two adult men.

Eclectic and joyful as ever. Brought to you by jokes.

On today’s episode, your premier purveyors of garbage content are joined by in-house Lone Star Reality TV Consultant Maggie McCaffery to talk about “Age Gap Love,” a British reality show that’s about exactly what it sounds like.

LSP 28: There’s an App for That?

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 17:46:08 +0000

Finance, fitness, podcasts, cooking, social media… kissing? Mock shaving? Games that aren’t games? This week, Ben and Alex dip into the underbelly of low-rated, non-rated, and, shall we say, PG-13 rated apps available on the App Store (not Google Play, because we’re not that hip).

LSP 27: I Am The One Who Barks

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 13 Mar 2019 14:45:10 +0000

One year ago, Alex and Ben first ventured into the talking animal purgatory that is the “Buddies” series and promised they would return to it when the time was right. That day has come. In this episode, we take a closer look than anybody has probably ever taken at “Treasure Buddies,” the “Indiana Jones”-ish, straight-to-DVD “Air Bud” knock-off you never knew you needed to see.

Your premier purveyors of garbage content are back and we’re kicking off the reboot by taking on the King of Crud, The Sultan of Sewage, The Dictator of Debris: Donald J Trump. It was about time. But we’re not here to take down the presidency–we’ll leave that to Bob Mueller. No, friends, we went to Trump Grill at Trump Tower. We ate the food. We went to the MAGA store. We’re here to tell you about it. Strap in, Lonestarinos, it’s as bad as it sounds.

LSP 23: Not ‘Robo Cop’

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 01 Aug 2018 12:56:55 +0000

When the bright minds over at Blumhouse brought us masterpieces like “Get Out” and “Whiplash,” we almost forgot that they also brought us schmaltzy horrors like “Stranded,” “Mockingbird” and all 700 “Paranormal Activities.” From this lineage spawns the recent box-office buster “Truth or Dare,” a film whose title… pretty much tells you what you need to know. Join Alex and special guest Larry (spoiler alert: it’s his dad again) as they DARE to uncover the TRUTH beneath this Lone Star horror show.

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Thu, 19 Jul 2018 04:22:09 +0000

There are many Lone Star quality comedy specials out there, but for this episode, we thought we’d reintroduce some familiar faces: Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy. Coming at you live from inside the “Liberal Bubble” (which, we come to learn, is not really much of a bubble), Ben and Alex unpack the racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and generally marginalizing dumpster fire that is “We’ve Been Thinking.” Available now on Netflix.

Chekhov. Shaw. Miller. Churchill. Stoppard. Nottage. Baker. Jeff from accounting. Join BFA-holding experts Alex and Ben as they explore the Lone Star world of youth audition monologues that are written by God-knows-who and posted on the internet. Trigger warning: episode contains dramatic readings of material that addresses what it’s like to be a “typical teen” who “doesn’t want to chill with [their] cousin anymore” and/or needs to be “fully committed to figure skating.”

LSP 17: Not “The Room”

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 16:46:53 +0000

Today, Ben and Alex tackle the garbage behemoth that is “Troll 2,” a cult classic horror written and directed by Claudio Fragasso. “The Room” has been getting all the attention as of late, but we should never forget this scrappy contender for best worst movie ever made.

Today, Ben and Alex are joined by special guest Maggie McCaffery as they venture into the Holy Grail genre of garbage content–reality television.

Back on the Garbage Grind, the boys came across a Reddit thread that posed the question: “What’s the worst thing you’ve ever done?” Thus, an episode was born.

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 16:01:26 +0000

Today, Alex and Ben try to figure out exactly which kids Brokencyde are referring to with their 2009 scrunk opus “I’m Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It:” a punk, metal, hip-hop Frankenstein of an album (if Frankenstein was a fifteen-year-old racist with phallic insecurities) that emerges as a contender for the trashiest Lone Star content yet.

LSP 2: The Pixie Stick In Your Child’s Eye

lonestarpod@gmail.com (Irrelevant Media) — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 15:46:11 +0000

Today, Alex and Ben dive into the talking-animal purgatory that is “Super Buddies,” a straight-to-DVD children’s movie from the creator of “Air Bud.” Join us as we reflect on a career dedicated to this ultra-niche genre and the proverbial sea of Big Macs in which we are drowning our children.
