Episode 24 brings us the second ever interview on CUWAGD as we welcome Brian Niece, from the Reimagining podcast to discuss his past pastoring to his present podcastoring. We touch on religion, God, and all the other things that make Sunday mornings the most divisive part of the week. Our interview with Brian went so well that we decided to cut it in half and make you wait for more, because at our core, we are just assholes.

Episode 23 runs and runs and runs and stops and throws up and runs and runs and falls down and cries and gets up and runs and runs and has a stroke. Oh yeah, we also talk about Disappointment Panda, Rick Steves, and a little indie film called Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

On Episode 22, we GIVE you reasons why you should GIVE. Spoiler alert: It's a good thing to do.

Episode 21 takes a break from telling you how to live your life(hey, you've earned it) as we sink back into the comfortableness of earlier free for all shows. We discuss Beard's first impression of Chris's son, the trees(enjoying and destroying), Ginger's upcoming European Vacation and a friend's gofundme to help three adopted siblings stay together(Go to https://www.gofundme.com/dufrenes-rescue-fund to help). We also talk about competitive choking, fearless statues, and getting lesbians from point A to point B. Oh, and Chris has a pretty dang ol' big announcement right off the top. Enjoy!

Our Acceptance episode brings you our first interview. Episode 20 accepts the truth about ourselves in that we are not "gay" enough on the show, so we bring our good friend Josh McTiernan in to give us the scoop on the real gay lifestyle. Turns out, not so many sparkly hotpants and feather boas as you would think. I know, crazy, right?

CUWAGD has a new theme song, handcrafted by the finest musicians in the Beard's dining room.

Episode 19 hits you like a pie in the face as Wade, Chris, & Beard discuss, jokes off all types, the ones we love, the way they make us feel, and the people, from Adolph Hitler to Garfunkel & Oates, that bring them to us. Wade kicks things off by reminding us even jokes are cruel, and just before we slit our throats, he brings us back with Tales of Chit with Pancho Villa.

Four friends talk about more friends that adore friends. We discuss what it takes to be a friend, and what it takes to step it up to the vaunted role of "best" friend. If you want to be our friend, drop us a line at [email protected] and say, "Hey, friend", and then dance....if you want to.

On this episode we praise the outdoors. Yeah, you know where it is. It's right out there. Hike it, Camp it, Breathe it, Feel it, Sit your butt right down in the middle of it. Oooo, ANTS! Oh God, ANTS! Disclaimer: No ants or butts were harmed in the making of this episode.

Episode 16 does it's best to untrump you as we discuss laughter and the importance of it to your head and butt. We touch on how and why we laugh, our favorite laughs, and the practice of laughter.....um...yoga? We also ask whether or not animals laugh, and Ginger runs through a cartoon character laugh quiz. Well, maybe not runs. How about a quick shuffle. Check us out at cuwagd.wordpress.com, twitter.com/cuwagd, & www.facebook.com/cuwagd, and throw us some love at [email protected].

As we don our boots and pants and boots and pants and boots and pants, we climb atop our high horses so we can tell YOU what you need to do to cheer up. First up, Get a hobby, ya dullard. Enjoy!

Welcome to the end of the nightmare that was 2016 and the promise of an even crappier 2017! We go lo-fi for Episode 14 as we record from the campfire of Torreya State Park. We discuss hiking and camping and the wonders of natu...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....ooh, sorry, just so relaxed. We also talk about the future of Cheer Up, We're All Gonna Die, as we take a leaner, meaner, and possibly more weiner approach in the coming year.

Wade Whack-A-Mole's in and out of Episode 13 as we discuss voting sorrow, Pen Pineapple Apple Pen, Stephen King for Kiddies, The Walking Dead Premiere, The Greatest Name Ever, Ginger's Recall Follies, an indestructible black man, and nothing finer than being in Caroliner.

Episode 12 shambles toward your neck as we discuss, The Walking Dead, The Cinematic Dead, Surviving The Dead, The Jogging Dead, The Amusing Dead, The Floating Dead, The Storming Dead, Looking At My Dead, and the Digressing Wade.

Double Ones stands tall as we say goodbye to Zorak, relive and preview Wade: The Experience, discuss scary furries, camping tips, Disney danger, some sort of debate that happened, some sort of twerking that happened, and more pleading for iTunes reviews(PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF PANTS!!).

It's a CUWAGD exclusive! It took 22 minutes to write and 22 years to record. Beard and Ginger bring their monster to life with some overbearing accompaniment from the CUWAGD Boys Choir.

Double Digits! Who knew! Episode 10 is all about Umbilical Shrinky Dinks, Third Party Johnson, Friendly Racism, Very Popular Fish and the Salt Water They Inhabit, Things, Things, Things, and the Reverance of National Payroll Week.

We break out the razor and go Beardless for Episode 9 with excessive excrement, frightening chickens, Bry-an the Fan Man, crank calls from space, and the many uneaten faces of James Van Fleet.

There's Trump and Dick and sex with a van, Who's that in the High Castle, Hey look, it's the man! There's Potter and Hamm and Muppets and drones, with laughter and joy that's followed by groans. The tie-in to Clapton can't get any lamer, but we're all saved in the end by our friend, Larry Chambers.

We go in a different direction for this show(several different directions to be exact) as Wade takes us to the Pacific Northwest, Brian takes us to Atlantic Northeast, Bryan takes us deep into the bowels of Tennessee, and Chris finds the straight truth from the folks at Straight Talk wireless.

Wade returns as we discuss man time, relationships and the Gods and run them, Harry Pooter, trivia time with the Dueling Briyanjos, the kooky North Koreans, the best of 1994, and thing exposure.

Episode 5 filibusters through the hassle of giving, our Facebook footprint, lake naps, God magic, steamrolling through Northern Ohio, getting racy with Petey & O.J. and the mindful powers of crossstitch.

If he couldn't convince you before, NOW do you believe him?!

Evil takes a nap as we discuss kissing Morrissey, desert island movies, circles made of plastic, early MTV, the fickle Brits, and the wonder that was 1983.

We pop the top on Episode 3 and discuss good sounds, bad sounds, the British vamoose, NBA shenanigans, a trip to the drive-in, and the greatest year in music: 1971?

On Episode Two, the group tackles (hehehe...sports reference) Mel Brooks, conspiracies, Dr. Cosby, selfies and fetisheseses.
