Bottom of the Barrel

The crew returns to yammer on a bout advertising. This time, this visual side of branding and marketing gets the treatment with everything from font phonetics to ligature lingo. There's even enough time to discuss the size of John Swasey's asterisk.

There simply was not enough time to cover all the unfortunately famous folks out there. The gang takes a ride with Kai the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker, get lost with Franz Kafka, and drink with Charles Bukowski and Emily Dickinson.

All aboard! And place your bets! It’s time for a BOTB ride down-steam on a riverboat casino. The boys explore the murky waters of the legally fluid life along the river. There are no rules. And there is no bottom.

The meteoric rise to notoriety continues until it comes crashing down in a ball of fire. The boys Tripp with Linda, Bink with Jar Jar, go to Reno with Janet, cut some Jewels with Richard, and shame a whole slew of Karens.

Eat it, nerds. It's time to get personal. Your favorite Bottoms get to unload and explore the wonderful stupid world of verbal abuse. All the way from Groucho Marx and Dickens, to Bea Arthur's dick and your big fat mama.

After their valiant efforts of disparaging some of the world's most beloved works of art, the boys aren't done. Not with Van Hagar and Audrey Hepburn's diner orgasms still living pristine and untouched.

The boys take on the honorable task of offering rigorous drunken scrutiny on some of the so-called sacred cows of art, music, film and other things. From Mother Goose to Gwen Stefani, and Candy Corn to Cockhorse, it's time to knock down some statues.

Still spiraling from the holiday season, the Barrel gets a blurry, murky look into how we celebrate and denigrate the new year. From 10,000-year-old hanger cures to just plain bad advice, get all you need to ring in 2026 in shame.
