Boob Tube Boys ·

2022/07/14

Ah Hawaii, the last recognized state to join the United States of America (take that Guam!), it's a land that brought us Lu'aus, ukuleles, leis, and Hawaiian shirts. But that's not all... it also brought Tom Selleck showing off his balls in tiny shorts! Van, Brian, and Spencer trudge their way through the gun-totin', ugly woman-hatin' piece of 80s history that is Magnum P.I., and the guys fumble their way through watching a man try and guilt a woman into loving him

Being lifelong friends the Boob Tube Boys have many things in common. They all love pizza, they all lived at this one house on Pinehurst in Springfield, Missouri at one point, and they of course all love the works of one Steven Seagal! Seagal typically saves his antics for the silver screen but one time Seagal managed to convince a show developer to give him a a 26 episode series that debuted in Spain (I'm not joking).

Ep 54 | Father Knows Best: "The Weaker Sex"

Boob Tube Boys ·

2022/05/05

You know Seinfeld called itself the "show about nothing" but that statement is wholly incorrect when you take into account the wonder that is Father Knows Best. This week's episode of FKB is aptly titled "The Weaker Sex," and we say aptly because the show beats you over the head with the fact that women are of course inferior to men in every way. We learn this because Betty, our Anderson family teenage girl, is so desperate to get a date to the hottest social event of the year (the town picnic) she

Along they way they discuss Kathy's giant head, Bud being an insufferable teenager, and of course learn the best way to silence your detractors is to be invited to a gala as the honored guest of a famous author!

Boob Tube Boys ·

2022/04/20

Look: maybe Bibleman is actually awesome. This week brings a very different episode featuring a new caped quoter of scripture and less concern for trimming the rough edges of an obviously low budget production. Van, Brian, and Spencer get tangled up in a world of high-tech business cards, a cackling bad guy, Bible Bowls, and the sweetest lil' southern dandy your ears ever did hear. Stick around until the end to find out what show (and what decade) Spencer chooses for the team next!

2022/04/13

Put on your Sunday best and listen to what those lovely Boob Tube Boys have to say about the children's direct-to-video superhero show Bibleman! Brian guides Van and Spencer through the world of middle school bullies forged by magic dust, villain lair scenes that abruptly turn into music videos, and more tucked-in clothing than you'd see on a yacht in 1988. You'll be "Livin' La Furiosa" by the time the episode ends!

Boob Tube Boys ·

2022/04/06

Sure the Vorlons are cool as hell, but so are the Shadows! That means it's up to Van, Brian, and Spencer to determine which made up space monster is the right choice to be our caretaker. To figure it out, the guys watch Babylon 5 S4 E6: "Into the Fire" in which our hero (a charming, well-groomed plank of a man) the Captain leads all of the universe's forces into battle to determine the fate of said universe. Is there a smug alien know it all? You betcha. Tune it to hear the guys not chant "Gyor

THEN IT ISN'T AS COOL AS THIS EPISODE!Van, Brian, and Spencer strap on their spacesuits and rocket their way onto the Babylon 5 space station where they encounter space rabbis, weird ghoulish men creeping in the shadows, the weirdest hairline you've ever seen, and of course Gyor- the greatest fighter to ever grace the Mutai!

2022/03/25

The BTBs return to the scary, violent world of pitting people against one another in deadly competitions only to actually instead take a look at the scary, violent world of... well... everyday life! Spencer, Brian, and Van check out Squid Game episode 2 where our characters vote to leave the Squid Compound only to realize life on the outside is maybe worse for them. Is Gi-hun as big of a dick as it seemed in the first episode? Where did Sang-woo go to school? How many fingers does Ali have? And why

Ep 46 | Holmes and Yoyo: "Yoyo Takes a Bride"

Boob Tube Boys ·

2022/02/23

We all know Yoyo can solve a crime, but can he fuck?! Brian posits this question and more to Van and Spencer as the Boob Tubers return once more to the '70s cop-and-bot show Holmes and Yoyo. There's a burglar up to no good at the local motel, and the only TV-logical way to nab the culprit is to have Yoyo and Maxine pose as honeymooners to catch him in the act. Will our main characters get their man, or will the whole motel find out Yoyo has a wrench for a crank before they get the chance? Listen to
