Austin Anderson Show

After disappearing for a bit, Austin finally returns — and yes, he knows he said he’d be back sooner.This episode kicks off the comeback with life updates, a hilarious grocery store story involving government benefits and eight lobster tails, and a brutally honest rant about terrible movie remakes (looking directly at The Running Man). From there, things swing into unexpected joy with an incredible Eric Church concert, progress on the Ranch Bowl documentary, and reflections on creativity, nostalgia, and why real art still matters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’m bad at the game of life because the game is rigged. So this episode goes straight for the throat.We talk about opting out of a broken system, why everyone feels dead inside, why kindness feels illegal on the interstate, and why faith in Jesus isn’t something I argue anymore, it’s something I cling to like a life raft in a burning world.This isn’t theology class.This is rage, repentance, hypocrisy, mercy, pride, daily sin, and that stupid plank jammed in all our eyeballs.The world says fix everyone else. Jesus says start with yourself.I chose Jesus. Not science-as-religion. Not power. Not the machine. If that bothers you, this episode definitely will. Hosted on Acast.

I’m back. Barely.After disappearing to survive a full-blown farmhouse move—from Christmas Eve to mid-January—I crawl back behind the mic to explain why my life turned into a Home Depot fever dream. No doors. Movers with bald tires. Windstorms. Lost phone chargers. A Ron White cigar shrine in rural Nebraska. This episode is a reset. A ramble. A “hey, I’m still alive.” Tomorrow we’re back to a real show, today is just taking care of business. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam Devine talksabout coming home to film his first Netflix special at the Orpheum, zig-zagging across the country on tour, and how life looks different when you’re no longer the Workaholics maniac but also definitely still a maniac.We get into Nebraska’s “honestly, it’s not for everyone” slogan, shooting a special in front of family and friends, working with legends like John Goodman and Danny McBride on The Righteous Gemstones, and the strange moment when you realize you’ve grown up… because you’re cutting off skin tags with pliers instead of calling a doctor.Somewhere along the way we also cover corrupt televangelists with private jets named after the Trinity, why parades are psychological warfare, and the undeniable proof that God has a sense of humor—because He once took out Fabio with a suicidal goose on a roller coaster. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Austin rolls into the studio running on burnt coffee, bad decisions, and the lingering stench of mercy. Fresh off a comedy show for accountants, he breaks down the strangest crowd interaction of his career, including rubbing the shoulders of a man who refused to turn around and later turned out to own the company. From declaring himself the honorary mayor of Wahoo, to free-plugging the local meat locker, to accidentally inventing an all-natural skunk-based nasal spray, this episode is a full sprint through sleep deprivation, stand-up chaos, and small-town mythology. Add in climate satire, TLC nostalgia, box wine communion, and a co-host fleeing the studio mid-spray, and you’ve got a perfectly unhinged morning radio monologue that somehow still lands the plane.

What if Bigfoot isn’t just a blurry VHS fever dream… but a real, flesh-and-bone creature that’s just smarter than us?In this episode, I sit down with Gary Volkmann, a man who didn’t just talk about finding Bigfoot — he funded it. Six figures. A full film crew. And a world-renowned PhD anthropologist, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, as his right-hand man.We get into:Why a Thanksgiving dinner argument launched a full-blown Sasquatch huntAncient apes, human evolution, and why Bigfoot might be closer to us than we’re comfortable admittingTerrifying field encounters: bacon-scented sightings, rifled backpacks, unscrewed peanut butter jars, and a 16.5-inch footprint next to a tentWhy Bigfoot might be the most intelligent great ape on the planetNative American lore, totem poles, ancient cave art, and why this story shows up everywhere… across cultures, continents, and centuriesAnd why capturing Bigfoot on film might be harder than filming a black bear crossing a logging road Hosted on Acast.

The Nebraska wind didn’t just knock over lawn furniture — it straight-up detonated one of my sheds like God got bored and flicked the earth. From there, things spiral fast.I talk about the raw, terrifying power of weather, governments wanting control of the elements, Alex Jones absolutely bodying Piers Morgan (and why, whether he’s wrong or not, the man is objectively hilarious), and why it feels like politics, media, and culture are just professional wrestling with better lighting.We get into why nobody ever delivers real solutions, why conspiracies rot your brain if you stare too long, why JFK is still unsolved 60 years later, and why the older I get, the more I think the real rebellion might be unplugging, raising your kids, helping your neighbors, reading your Bible, and singing Christmas carols with people who’ve been forgotten.Also: Barbara Bush. I said what I said. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin recounts a series of strange, hilarious, and slightly haunting encounters across three Casey’s gas stations in one night. There’s a tarantula-loving cashier with a “spider guy,” a pizza cook higher than Goonies’ Sloth, and a third Casey’s employee who commits the ultimate sin: refusing to make breadsticks 15 minutes before close.From awkward bong banter to half-cheese pizza crimes, this episode spirals into conspiracy theories, Epstein files, Eyes Wide Shut deep dives, the darkness of the world, and somehow ends with Austin pitching a gritty Santa Claus reboot where the kid offs his dad to become St. Nick.Just another day on The Austin Anderson Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Look, I sat down to check the news and immediately got hit with a wall of madness: conspiracies, celebrity meltdowns, earthquakes, blue aliens I don’t trust, and weed so strong it’ll make you scream louder than a TikTok mom in a hospital gown. And somehow—somehow—we end the whole thing debating Al Gore’s weather prophecies, Trump’s psychological profile, and why the government wants me to subscribe to 47 different news apps just to learn that Oreos are apparently trying to assassinate us.It’s chaos. It’s America. It’s my show.Come hang out while I stumble through the headlines like a man trying to read Vanity Fair with a nicotine patch falling off his neck, rant about medical marijuana turning people into human lava lamps, defend the honor of 1999 ditch weed, and try to understand why God loves me enough to let me survive another news cycle.A full ride through political weirdness, cultural nonsense, scientific panic, and that one trucker who told me to move my fat ass. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to another episode, where I—your loyal narrator—try to make sense of a world where Hollywood royalty gets murdered by their own kids, politicians use tragedy as a punchline, and somewhere in an Albertsons a woman is calling 911 because a stranger farted in her face.Today we wander through the global horrors—ISIS pledges, celebrity throat-slittings, conspiracy theorists with way too much free time—and somehow end up debating whether a fart can be considered a hate crime. We talk Make-A-Wish numbers, The Rock’s petty beefs, John Cena being the Oprah of dying kids, flying cars that look like the drone aisle at Costco mated with a Prius, and the Chiefs falling apart like a Dollar Store lawn chair under a 400-pound uncle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to another episode of The Austin Anderson Show, where I wander into the day like a man who lost his sanity, and his will to behave, and just hit record anyway. Today’s episode starts with chimney sweeps, Gremlins trauma, and somehow ends with Candace Owens prophesying doom, Gavin Newsom calling Trump a piggy while telling us not to say piggy, and the entire conservative podcast world turning into a WWE cage match.Along the way I break down why comedians are basically just professional shit-talkers, remember the days I nearly died performing in an internet café for homeless dudes and a transgender, tell a story about strangers doing bong rips on Sublime’s singer’s grave, and dive deep into the CIA possibly being the original alien-abduction cosplay squad.Yes. All of that is in one episode.If that sounds unhinged, congratulations—you’re paying attention. Enjoy the chaos, the honesty, the jokes, and the confused political scream-fest that is America 2025. Buckle up, piggies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

🚨Something went wrong and this episode did not post yesterday. So here it is. 🚨Today on The Austin Anderson Show, we take a hard left turn—like going from a church potluck straight into a WWE cage match. I start with the new Diddy documentary (The Reckoning), which is basically a three-episode warning label for hubris, ego, and whatever dark spiritual forces you get when you pray to the wrong ancestors. Then we swerve straight into Daniel 11, where ancient kings are doing Game-of-Thrones cosplay centuries before HBO existed. Alexander the Great shows up, conquers the world, dies at 32 because apparently greatness comes with an expiration date, and then the whole empire gets carved up like Thanksgiving turkey.And then—oh then—we meet Laodice, the ancient world’s answer to “If Lifetime made a movie about a woman who poisons everybody.” She takes out her husband, the new wife, the kids… basically speed-runs a family annihilation like she’s trying to unlock achievements.We wrap with me complaining about lugging PA equipment to a luncheon gig like I’m suddenly the world’s saddest roadie.It's theology, history, comedy, and whatever this life is I’m living—all in one place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today’s episode is what happens when your laptop hits 9% battery and your soul hits 9% patience. I stumble in here trying to teach Daniel 11, but instead the show derails into a full-scale emotional hostage situation involving Sonic, Panera, and the unholy $9.56 egg sandwich that broke my spirit.We talk about how fast food has become a psychological warfare program, how Chick-fil-A is the last working institution in America, and why Nickelback went from post-9/11 superweapon to the most bullied band in human history.Then I dive headfirst into a conspiracy so stupid it might actually be true: Did the media engineer our hatred of Nickelback? Did Brian Posehn accidentally pull the first domino? Did MTV decide dads shouldn’t have feelings? Did record labels sabotage them? I’m not saying yes… I’m saying maybe??Plus: me shadowboxing over tater tots, Hollywood tap-dancing into AI oblivion, DiCaprio movies being $19.99, and one documentary autoplaying itself into my brain at exactly the wrong moment.It’s chaos. It’s therapy. It’s rage-eating Panera bagels while ranting about Rolling Stone and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ghost taking revenge on Mick Jagger’s catwalk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Look, today’s episode was supposed to be a respectable, Bible-nerd deep dive into Daniel 11… but nope. My notes pulled a full Rapture and vanished into the ether. So instead, you get the show that slid out of the emergency exit of my brain: a wild, unfiltered rant about California’s newest tourist attraction—MacArthur Park, aka the Fentanyl Zombie Thunderdome.\I walk you through a public park that’s turned into a live-action Demolition Man reboot, complete with city-funded crack pipes, rats that probably have a Yelp rating, and politicians who seem determined to speedrun the Book of Judges.It’s chaos. It’s comedy. It’s social commentary with two missing lug nuts and a bad attitude. And yes—the Daniel 11 breakdown is coming tomorrow (assuming my notes stop playing hide-and-seek with my sanity). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to another episode of “Austin Rambles Into the Apocalypse”—the only show where a quick stop at a small-town gas station turns into a full theological crisis. Today I break down the Muppet-voiced old-timer who thinks Omaha is a warzone where you need to “shoot your way out,” the Vietnam grandpa who walked into a church board meeting like a one-man Cabela’s clearance rack, and the joy of performing at the newly polished Admiral where the ceiling still cries water for reasons unknown. Then we nosedive—hard—into the spiritual chaos of Donald Trump accepting an award that literally quotes messianic prophecy about Jesus. Yeah. That happened. And then I start reading Daniel like a man who forgot his meds but loves the Lord. It’s Bible study meets stand-up meets a guy who worked on a chicken coop at 5AM and is slowly becoming an honorary Mexican uncle. Strap in. It’s a wild one.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode is basically what happens when you put my brain in a blender with a Red Hot Chili Peppers lyric, a Wikipedia tab, and whatever unresolved childhood issues made me yell at Facebook strangers for not listing cause of death. We kick things off with Anthony Kiedis whispering “platypus are few,” and suddenly I’m knee-deep in Australian wildlife, venomous mammals, and the possibility that Kiedis maintains his physique by suckling magical marsupial protein shakes straight from the source.Then we take a hard left—like, tires-squealing hard—into a public service announcement about obituary etiquette (JUST TELL US HOW THEY DIED), followed by a spiritual cry for a celibate Jack Reacher who gets superpowers from being unfailingly, aggressively virgin.And if you thought we were done? No. No, friend. We close with a full cinematic universe starring Michael J. Fox (with Parkinson’s), time travel, self-slapping, trauma loops, and the worst pitch for a trilogy Hollywood will never make.It’s chaos. It’s educational. It’s inappropriate. It’s me.Buckle up. Or don’t. Honestly, nothing can prepare you for this fever dream. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to whatever fever dream we’re calling The Austin Anderson Show, where today we cover everything from space rocks with heartbeats to the blasphemy that is “Tim Burton Christmas Movies.” I mean, apparently there’s an asteroid thumping its chest like it’s trying out for Stomp, and people are out here prepping for aliens like they’re gonna land, shake hands, and ask where the nearest Panera is. Spoiler: if aliens do show up, I’m calling BS till the day they laser me.Then we roll right into the sacred holiday canon—Home Alone supremacy, why Elf grew on me, and the absolute demon energy behind calling Eyes Wide Shut a Christmas movie. I also publicly confess my Bill-Murray-is-a-creepy-camp-counselor take, which will surely get me banned from film school reunions.It’s chaotic, it’s festive, it’s deeply opinionated, and it smells faintly like peppermint and regret. Come hang out and send me the Christmas movies you love so I can gently roast them or aggressively defend them—your choice. [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to The Austin Anderson Show, where the weather is confused, the wildlife is traumatized, and I’m just out here trying to figure out if the government is stalking my hypothetical hat made of illegal feathers. In today’s episode, we go on a full-tilt, caffeine-fueled wander through Nebraska history, dead-bird law, elk genocide, buffalo sniping, why hunters scare me more than the deer do, and whether or not the feds will kick your door in because you asked Google a spicy question.We talk Somalis, Super Bowl disasters, Ben Stiller going full political mall cop, mountain lions on patios, Mormon underwear upgrades, digital currency paranoia, vehicles from the 1960s that the government can’t turn off, and why I might start a black-market business restoring analog trucks for when the AI apocalypse hits.It’s chaos. It’s philosophy. It’s depression, comedy, elk, and the increasingly real possibility that I should stop reading the news altogether.Buckle up. Or don’t. The seatbelt is probably digital anyway. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to another episode of The Austin Anderson Show, where the news is a punch in the throat, the government is a demon piñata, and I'm just over here trying to buy a damn ceiling fan without losing my salvation. Today, we dive headfirst into the insane cosmic spiderweb that is Jeffrey Epstein’s early résumé—yes, including the part where he was hired by Bill Barr’s dad—and everything spirals from there like a possessed slinky rolling down the stairs of Hell.We jump from Epstein to Ghislaine’s billionaire, Mossad-cozy father mysteriously dying at sea (of course), then into the cursed carnival of American leadership, the Podesta brothers’ “art,” the lies we tell ourselves about justice, and why you should never—ever—put your hope in human politicians when the whole system looks like a demon-run group chat.Then we take a hard left turn into laser guns, Rambo’s sweaty bullet-feed chest, mass shootings in a country drowning in ammunition, celebrity divorces, Dave Coulier’s cancer battle, kids in danger online, and P. Diddy wandering the earth like a musical skinwalker.Finally, we end on the truly important stuff: the beauty of ice-coated branches in the morning sun… and my white-hot hatred of modern ceiling fans.It’s chaos. It’s comedy. It’s Tuesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today’s episode kicks off with me staring out the window at a gentle snowfall—gentle like a murderer whispering “don’t worry about it” while they drag a body. And suddenly I’m questioning whether snow can “cascade.” So naturally, I look it up, learn nothing helpful, and immediately demand the government chemtrail the sky so I can finish renovating my house before I freeze to death.Then we dive headfirst into Gremlins, the most deranged PG “kids movie” ever made. I unpack Spielberg’s long history of unleashing horror on unsuspecting children, why E.T. deserved to get butter-knife-shanked, and how Gremlins casually includes the most traumatic Santa story of all time.From there it spirals—as it should—into the great tragedy of our age: ads are everywhere, authenticity is dead, and even YouTube interviews feel like being held hostage at QVC.Finally, we roll into WalletHub’s ranking of America’s Top 5 Most Sinful Cities, discover Houston is apparently a war zone, and confirm that Omaha is… tired. Just a tired little carb-loaded Midwestern town.It’s chaos. It’s therapy. It’s December 1st.Ho ho ho. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin stumbles into this episode like a man who just carried 186 sheets of drywall through a Nebraska windstorm and found out Campbell’s Soup is now made with friendly Frankenstein meat. From there, it only gets dumber and more apocalyptic.We hit everything: the Campbell’s CEO admitting their soup is basically for “poor people,” Andy Warhol’s creepy soup-can fetish paintings going for $30 million, and why the hell every comedian you’ve ever heard of accidentally became a Saudi ambassador. Austin breaks down how the Crown Prince played American comics like fiddles, why nobody who cashed a $1.5 million check can talk trash now, and how Rush Hour 4 might exist only because a dictator sat on Trump’s lap and asked nicely.Also: turkey inflation, bioengineered brisket brewed like IPA, Putin calendars, and the annual tradition of trying to enjoy Thanksgiving.It’s chaos. It’s catharsis. It’s Thanksgiving.And Austin is thankful for YOU. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Buddy… this episode comes in hot like a pot-bellied pig doing a prison break.Austin wakes up inside a Stephen King weather system—fog so thick you can’t see your own regrets—then slides straight into stories of hogs plotting their great escape, the Menards Drywall Olympics, and the spiritual power of King Louie scatting from The Jungle Book.But that’s just the warm-up.Because then—God help us all—we dive into the real madness: a woman who divorced her husband and married ChatGPT. Austin reads the article and slowly loses faith in humanity in real time, like watching a church pew catch fire during worship. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to The Austin Anderson Show, where it’s Monday, I’m already emotionally winded, and Thanksgiving is creeping up on us like an aunt who hugs too long and smells like boneless ham. Today’s episode is a full-blown holiday fever dream: green bean casserole theology, stuffing economics, the weather in Nebraska doing cocaine-level mood swings, and my sad little midlife crisis on a flag football field where my leg bones felt like fossilized wood.I talk about aging, David Goggins’ alien skull, a Reddit kid who studied himself into oblivion, and was given the most deranged advice since “have you tried relaxing?” Then we spiral right into the financial despair gripping America—because nothing says Thanksgiving like realizing we’re all broke, exhausted, and two steps away from selling chiclets on the side of the road.It’s funny, it’s chaotic, and painfully real.New episode tomorrow at 10 a.m. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today’s episode is basically what happens when you get sedated for a root canal and wake up with the spiritual clarity of a raccoon that’s seen God. I walk you through my little blue-pill voyage into the void, why Michael Jackson suddenly makes sense, and how the dentist almost turned me into a gold-tooth villain from a low-budget 90s rap video.Then we dive face-first into the American political carnival: Shane Gillis roasting Trump’s “Biden brain,” why every comedian gets mislabeled like a can of expired soup, and my completely reasonable theory that Baron Trump might be the Antichrist (look, I’m not saying it’s true… I’m just connecting red strings in a shed).We roll right into the Thanksgiving “Cousin Walk” epidemic—half the family sneaking out to smoke weed while pretending they’re “getting ice”—followed by the Maine mom who can’t take her kid to church because a judge decided God doesn’t deserve capital letters.Then: Pras from the Fugees gets 14 YEARS for campaign donations, a New York senior shoots a mugger and still goes to prison because New York hates self-defense, and Jelly Roll drops weight, shaves his face, and suddenly looks like a friendly gas-station meth consultant.It’s chaos, it’s comedy, it’s America wrapped in aluminum foil and microwaved too long.Let’s jump in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today’s episode is pure chaos in the best way. I’m heading in for an emergency root canal, complaining about the lifetime curse of having teeth, and wondering if my grandpa was the only man in history smart enough to just rip all his out and be done with it. From there, I dive into the Miss Universe contestant who stepped off the runway like she was trying to exit the planet, the strange human joy of watching people slip on ice, and the absolutely unhinged news about an AI teddy bear giving kids advice on sex and where to find knives.I get into the whole “grandma doesn’t need Christmas gifts” controversy, the Kevin Spacey “living out of hotels” update, and why sometimes the world feels like it’s running on a fever dream written by a sleep-deprived raccoon.It’s teeth, beauty pageants, robots, Christmas slippers, fallen celebrities, and whatever else popped into my head. Buckle up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin slides into the studio buzzing on zero Lemonheads and 100% existential dread. Today’s episode is a full buffet of American chaos: price-gouged candy, near-death forklift ballet with a Mexican stranger, Tucker Carlson cornering Sam Altman, Epstein conspiracy theories taking a hard left turn into unfortunate anatomy, the slow emotional collapse of celebrities, and the spiritual torment of running in cold weather with nipples that rebel like French peasants.Somehow it all fuses into a sermon about tech overlords, the death of cheap candy, the absurdity of online outrage, and the fragile, hilarious circus of trying to be a grown adult in a world where you can’t even trust ChatGPT to tell you if Family Matters had a Thanksgiving episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin spirals into the sweetest economic meltdown you’ve ever heard, starting with the shocking rise of Tic Tac prices and ending somewhere between EMP-induced societal collapse, cannibal warlords who found Jesus, billionaires swimming Scrooge-McDuck–style in their money rooms, and Mormon underwear launch parties that look like Black Friday at Best Buy.Along the way he accidentally becomes Candy Max, contemplates leading a clothed-but-angry army against video games, reviews nightmare-fuel books he refuses to read, digs into the birth of Comedy Central, unpacks sex-club stories about the Viacom overlords, and somehow lands on Trump calling a reporter “piggy” mid-flight.It’s chaos. It’s comedy. It’s end-times chic. It’s The Austin Anderson Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin Anderson kicks off November with no rain, no grace, and a full-blown review of Rambo III—a movie so drenched in steroids it could bench-press your childhood. He breaks down why Stallone’s muscles should’ve won a Nobel Prize, reveals the topless truth about ancient Roman women gladiators, and dives into the Epstein email dump that proves the world is somehow dumber and darker than we thought.Then it’s a hard left into WhistlinDiesel’s Ferrari arrest, Jane Seymour claiming “70 is the new 50” (spoiler: it ain’t), and Eddie Murphy’s two-decade beef with SNL over one dumb David Spade joke. Austin closes it out with a heartfelt, cynical rant about how stand-up comedy got cheap, Trump’s weird obsession with getting into heaven, and why sometimes it feels like we’re all just Rambo cauterizing our own bullet wounds with gunpowder and denial. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin Anderson starts simple — like, “bread and butter” simple — before spiraling straight into the weirdest buffet of modern insanity you’ve ever heard. From George Clooney trembling in silk pajamas over AI movie stars to the rise of digital love affairs, to Hitler’s allegedly microscopic manhood… it’s a full-course meal of comedy, chaos, and uncomfortable truths. He breaks down why Hollywood can’t manufacture real stars anymore, why Jack Black might be the last true chaotic hero, and why Barbie might one day tell your kid to commit murder. Grab your carbs and buckle in — this one’s buttered madness from start to finish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin’s back behind the wheel — literally — swerving through Omaha traffic on nothing but caffeine and joy. In this episode, he unpacks how a busted Achilles, bad keto, and one farting-yoga TikTok led him to rethink food, health, and the broken algorithmic circus we call modern life. It starts with Chick-fil-A biscuits and ends with the extinction of human-made art. A chaotic drive through veganism, censorship, and the realization that maybe the ‘90s were the last time the world still had a soul. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You’ve heard about the glory of Rome, Caesar’s stabbing, Nero’s fiddle, Cleopatra’s eyeliner. But this? This is the B-side. The deep cuts.In this episode, Austin cracks open the marble shell and drags out the weirdest, wildest, most jaw-dropping stories the textbooks skipped. From soldiers worshipping a bull in candlelit caves, to an emperor who taxed pee, to a queen rumored to kill with figs — this is Ancient Rome like you’ve never heard it.It’s sex, power, poison, and piss taxes. It’s emperors, cults, and the kind of chaos that makes you realize history wasn’t classy — it was drunk, bloody, and insane. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin Anderson unpacks the chaos of Midwest winter, from -30° mornings to potbelly pigs with a taste for blood. He tells stories from his camper days—frozen pipes, showering with milk jugs, and near-death by diesel heater—before spiraling into a donut-fueled existential crisis, his son’s fat jokes, and a late-night rant about Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar robot army and the “Trans Apocalypse.” It’s a cozy blizzard of stories about survival, stupidity, and staying warm when life keeps throwing snowballs at your face. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin Anderson dives into the wild edges of reality—starting with the strange tribe known as The Pallet People, drifting into a cigarette ban in the Maldives, and then crash-landing in the madness of celebrity pardons and modern travel hell. It’s a full-blown back porch rant about America’s weirdest headlines, where Dan Aykroyd’s penis nose meets Trump’s possible Diddy pardon and ends with a heartfelt sigh for the days when airports didn’t feel like crime scenes.Grab your nicotine patch and sense of humor. This episode’s got everything: evil twins, fake noses, politicians pretending to be influencers, and one man just trying to make it home to work on his farmhouse before the world burns down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin Anderson dives headfirst into the absurdities of modern life—starting with a John Cena action flick that somehow turns into a NATO propaganda film, then spiraling into a breakdown of how dinner for three at a steakhouse now costs more than a used Honda Civic. It’s a full-blown rant about inflation, hidden restaurant “administration fees,” Elon Musk’s trillionaire dreams, and why John Travolta is still the coolest man alive with a cigarette. Half comedy, half therapy session, all chaos. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This one starts with Dick Cheney’s death and somehow ends with Simon Cowell turning into a Botox chipmunk and Johnny Depp’s dog committing farmyard murder. Along the way, I rant about California’s new electric boat insanity, New York politics, health insurance rage, and the general feeling that America’s been smashed like a plate glass window. It’s a full episode of disbelief, dark humor, and the kind of honesty you only get when the country’s on fire and you’ve still got a squirrel chase to narrate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin talks about pastors moonlighting as business coaches, AI croons like 1950s soul singers, and a Scottish woman fakes a pregnancy for nine months with a doll and a straight face. From Toyota Corolla backseat surgeries to the moral decay of social media meltdowns, this episode ricochets between holy outrage and hilarious disbelief. It’s spiritual confusion, dark comedy, and Midwestern sanity all rolled into one big sermon of “what the hell is happening?” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

California has officially lost its mind. The trees smell like vomit, the squirrels are decapitating rodents, and Gavin Newsom looks like he moisturizes with the souls of small business owners. Austin dives deep into this week’s apocalyptic headlines — from carnivorous squirrels to a Mexican mayor’s tragic stand against the cartels — all while reflecting on the eternal struggle between self-control and seasonal pie. There’s wisdom, chaos, and way too much talk about nipples. Welcome to November. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Austin’s back with a Halloween special that starts with a full-blown roast of Tim Burton and ends with two real-life ghost stories that’ll make you sleep with a nightlight and a loaded BB gun. From the cursed clay faces of The Nightmare Before Christmas to an old Millard railroad house filled with ghosts, dead railroad workers, and one very freaky five-year-old who said, “They’re always watching us.”It’s small-town horror, 90s nostalgia, and pitch-black comedy rolled into one haunted hayride through Austin’s brain. Grab a flashlight, lock the doors, and for the love of God, don’t say “Candyman” three times. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this chaotic October episode, Austin Anderson covers everything from California’s vomit-smelling trees to Putin’s radioactive tsunami weapon to Trump literally being gifted a golden crown. Somewhere in between, a chicken lays an egg live on air, Nero burns Rome naked, and Amazon doubles down on Satan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s Wednesday, and the world has officially gone off its meds. Will Smith just dropped a song called “I Like Pretty Girls”— and it sounds like a man trying to convince himself he’s straight. Meanwhile, a Detroit pastor publicly shames a woman for not giving him two grand… and Tyler Perry rewards him with a hundred thousand bucks. Because of course he does.Then we tumble headfirst into Conor McGregor’s new faith journey (bare knuckles and all), Anthony Hopkins hearing the literal voice of God, and a long, unbelievable story about the late Dustin “Screech” Diamond — including stabbing, mace, and the downfall of childhood fame. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Donald Trump’s turning the White House into a golden ballroom while Tic Tacs cost more than gas, SNAP recipients are told to fast for gender politics, and Glenn Beck’s out here hoarding “America’s soul” in tornado-proof mountain vaults. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom’s smiling like a spirit-cooking vampire, Bad Bunny’s headlining the Super Bowl in Spanish, and I’m just trying to breathe through my allergy-riddled throat in the middle of a wheat field. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a weekend of apple crisp, cookies, and deep regret, Austin dives headfirst into a sugar-fueled rant about Halloween gluttony, the collapse of common sense, and why face tattoos might be the final sign of the apocalypse. Between government shutdowns, Gavin Newsom’s presidential ambitions, and ICE raids in Chicago, he still somehow finds a moment of faith — right in the middle of a church prayer circle.

Today we kick things off talking about how Disney scarred an entire generation of kids with dead parents, witchcraft mice, and singing hyenas. Then we swerve—literally—into the story of Pimp Ma Ma Da, the fur-coated guardian angel who appeared after a teenage car wreck involving pepperoni, panic, and poetic justice. From there we dive into ladybug invasions, fly-filled farmhouses, a cop who shot himself to impress his ex, haunted houses in Chicago, and why Halloween is the best and worst time of year.

It’s story time on The Austin Anderson Show, and today we’re heading back to a haunted farmhouse in Omaha, the birthplace of a nine-foot monster, an old man, and one of the funniest nights in haunted house history. From the rise and fall of Haunted Hollow to Trump’s rumored pardon of Diddy, the Saudi picnic-cloth mafia, and the AI Tai Chi scam that won’t stop stalking Austin’s feed.He rants about how Halloween got too hardcore, the internet lost its innocence, and how maybe the only way to survive 2025 is to breathe the fall air, hug your people, and laugh at the madness before it swallows us whole.

Broadcasting straight from the chicken coop like a deranged homesteader with Wi-Fi, this episode goes off the rails fast. We cover a legendary high school road trip that ends with a stolen Garfield cat being returned to a haunted farmhouse, why we should ban Halloween movies that casually summon demons in our living rooms, and the horrifying invention of the human washing machine that proves Wall-E wasn’t fiction—it was prophecy.Somewhere in there we also rally behind a 58-year-old man playing college football on what is surely a bloodstream full of HGH, and we pray for the spiritual deliverance of Berlin’s infamous Piss Goblin. And yes, I recorded this from a half-built chicken coop, because that’s the energy we’re operating with here.If that doesn’t make you hit subscribe, I don’t know what will.👉 Share this episode with one friend who needs to repent or one enemy you hope gets lost on gravel roads without GPS.

Today’s episode is a ride straight through the downfall of civilization, starting with the fake celebrity space race (looking at you, Katy Perry), a detour through Justin Trudeau’s Halloween costume phase, a visionary proposal to merge Gavin Newsom and Trudeau into a new progressive Siamese gender, and then straight into Berlin’s underground where the Piss Goblin apparently lives his best life.We also sprinkle in witches sexually assaulting broomsticks, Sam Altman turning AI into OnlyFans, rock & roll admitting it’s satanic, and a confession about buying Jim Morrison boots while drunk. It’s unfiltered and unfortunately—all real. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
