EPISODE 221 - PANDEMIC SPECIAL
Free the Show comes back to bring peace to an ailing world, and maybe even save us all. Like a shot of healing balm straight to the heart of the virus, Will and Jimmy fire up the old phone call machine and force some dear friends of the show to talk. We check in with Eric and Gabrielle and Sage…

EPISODE 220 - WILL’S DVD BINDER
In the late 90s, through most of the AUGHTS, most people who liked movies had a DVD collection, and probably lots of them who were young and didn’t own large pieces of furniture in which to house them kept their DVDs or CDs even in portable binders. These binders, like time capsules created and...

EPISODE 219 - 20 QUESTIONS: THE REDEMPTION
Free the Show’s bleeding edge content rarely feels repetitive; when it does, it’s because the creators are bored and have no original ideas, so they just repeat the most tepid bits of all in what critics might call “anti-humour,” were any British comedy writers to review the show. This week, the...

EPISODE 218 - DRAFTING TWEETS
Being a young comedian with no real direction or representation in 2019 is a long, lonely road. There’s never really enough stimulation from successes, or validation through seeing a project do well, and when there is, it’s after a seemingly inordinate amount of time and hard work. So where…

EPISODE 217 - PIZZA
Will and Jimmy are New Yorkers through-and-through. They get by on tomato sauce and pepperoni - subsist on melted mozzarella - their veins course with olive oil - they have pizza faces with all their acne. So it’s only natural to finally, FIIINNNAAALLLLLYYY, bring out their NYC pizza rankings for...
-
EPISODE 216 - HALLMARK CARDS
With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching, Jimmy and Will decided it would be sweet and precious of them to call a bunch of Hallmark stores and talk to their sweeties about cards. They were so good this year and were such sweet boys that their reward is to talk to nice (mostly) ladies on the phone...

EPISODE 215 - FRIDGE MAGAZINE
Refrigerator Magazine was founded in 1949 by a refrigeration enthusiast and his wife, Donna. As America’s (but not the world’s) leading refrigeration-focused periodical. Generational changes brought steady evolution to the magazine, including a name change to the simpler “Fridge Mag,” but the…

EPISODE 214 - READING TWEETS OUT LOUD
Tone of voice. It’s a wily little thing, isn’t it? Think about it. Take the phrase “My dentist loves doing ecstacy,” for example. Here’s one way it could be read: “My DENTIST loves doing ecstacy.” But now imagine it this way: “My dentist loves DOING ecstacy.” Uh…what’s he doing with that ecstasy...

EPISODE 213 - 2018
Folks, it’s January 17th, 2019, so you know what that means: it’s time to talk about 2018 year end lists! Listeners, we’re talking Billboard, we’re talking New York Times, we’re talking Obama, and Spotify. We want to know what everybody was talking about, what everybody was reading, what…

EPISODE 212 - IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
Time again, time again for all Christianfolk to gather round the decorated pine tree, chug a glass of milk, pound some cookies, and watch one of the dozen or so holiday-appropriate classic movies. This week, Will and Jimmy watch the all-time greatest xmas movie It’s A Wonderful Life to see if…

EPISODE 211 - KARL’S REDEMPTION
In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped the island of Elba, where he was exiled, and marched through France toward Paris, slowly but inexorably gaining soldiers and supporters with each passing day. Though his most powerful royalist enemies doubted him, even threatened him, they all eventually joined...

EPISODE 210 - CBD
It’s the drug craze that’s tearing through the nation like a pot-addled teen opening a baggie of kind. Will and Jimmy decided to see what the fuss behind CBD is about. It turns out it’s the non-psychoactive component of cannabis that promotes tension and pain reduction. The boys settle in for a...

EPISODE 209 - PERSONAL ASSISTANTS
Will and Jimmy are personal assistants to some of the biggest male stars over forty, don’t you know? We call some restaurants and try to get reservations for tonight for some of our clients like Laurence Fishburne, William Shatner, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. We want to get these old boys a little…

EPISODE 208 - HOSPITAL WAITING ROOM
Hospital waiting rooms are among the most stressful places to pass time on this god-damned planet Earth. No one wants to be there. Everyone hurts, in big or small ways. But when two men, fated to cross paths in a Fargo-season-one kinda way, meet and swap stories in this particular waiting room…...

EPISODE 207 - WILL IS IN THE CLOSET
The premise for this episode is that Will, one of the hosts of Free the Show, is in the closet for the whole episode. Not figuratively, it’s not some dumb joke. There is a closet right next to where Will and Jimmy record, and Will went inside of it and they recorded the podcast like that. Once...

EPISODE 206 - HALLOWEEN
Once again, it is late October, and on Free the Show, we’re pretty keen on celebrating the holidays, no matter how trite and tired certain tropes might be. To wit - everyone knows what happens on Halloween, and yet here we are again bonding over an open fire, singing carols and exchanging gifts...
-
EPISODE 205 - PLEDGE DRIVE
As you know, Free the Show could not bring you the kind of groundbreaking and innovative content we do without the support of listeners like you. As we simply must once every year, we are taking this week off our normal content to spend an hour with you talking about why we need money from you....
-
EPISODE 204 - SLOGANS
Ba da ba ba baaah. It’s McDonald’s Time. Did you read that first sentence in sing-song, without even needing a primer to know it’s the McDonald’s jingle? Followed of course by we’re pretty sure the famous McDonald’s slogan? Well that’s because the marketing industry has so deeply laid its hooks...

EPISODE 203 - JOHN’S STRANGE TOUR DIARY, VOL 2
Y’all remember John Ambrosio, and his band Long Neck, and how they are a touring rock band that we have covered on this podcast before? Well, success has not yet eroded John’s ability to connect with the little people, and after returning from a 34 day tour across America, he returns to Clinton...
-
EPISODE 202 - LORDE’S JUICE
A nicely paced, well-executed monoscene about a man who escaped from a cult interviewing for a job at a juice company. This is enough of a description to hook the listener. Listen to Episode 202
