The Ron and Brian Podcast

This Is America (Still)?

We throw away the usual format to discuss what's been going on in America the last couple of weeks. Protests over the death of George Floyd have taken place in all 50 states, and around the world. The police have been responding to accusations of brutality with more brutality. The LA Police Commission has been holding Zoom meetings, but probably regret that choice. We play clips of black voices speaking their truth, and we discuss the future of This Week in Racism.

Political Point/Counterpoint

This week we're joined by Ron & Brian Senior News Correspondent, Scott K., to give us the conservative point of view on today's issues! We discuss This Week In Racism, Amy Cooper, and the Minneapolis Killer Cops. We also talk about the Trump Administration, the pandemic, and Gov. Cuomo. If you're looking for fair and balanced, you've found it here! We also have Drink of the Week and Beef of the Week, so buckle up and listen!

Grand Re(Opening), Grand Closing

As areas around the country start to re-open, some are finding that's not a great idea. Churches are finding you can't pray the COVID away, 5 sailors seem to have been re-infected, lockdown protests may have helped to spread the disease, and the coronavirus really seems to hate obese people! A German soccer club has found a unique way to fill seats, Aunt Becky is going to do some hard time, and Ron explains to Brian what the hell the Snyder Cut of Justice League is. We discuss What We're Watching, This Week In Racism makes its unfortunate return, and we had way too many celebrity deaths again this week!

Special Episode: The Newlywed Game

Just like all of the cool kids, we're getting into the game show world! Ron and his wife take on two celebrity couples in our version of the classic Newlywed Game. Unfortunately, legal issues prevented us from playing the celebrity audio, but see how Ron and his wife fared!

Brian Conquers COVID

Brian fought corona, and corona didn't win! The toughest man in podcasting tells you about his amazing antibodies, while we update you on the latest COVID stories. COVID may be causing Kawasaki disease symptoms in kids, Singapore is relying on robot dogs to handle social distancing, and we discuss the pros and cons of tracing. People of color are getting arrested the most fo COVID-related issues in NYC (shocking), a NYC tourist who lost her legs got to go home with the 'rona, and we have a cavalcade of celebrity obits to go through! Former WWE superstar Alberto del Rio got himself into some trouble, and we talk about the final episodes of Dark Side of the Ring. All this, and your weekly favorites!

PlanDemic, Shamdemic

We're celebrating our 2-year anniversary by debunking the latest COVID-19 conspiracy video, PlanDemic! Penn Gillette pays his regards, we review the Celebrity Obits for the week, and talk about What We're Watching. And you know it's not a show without talking about refrigerated trucks - join in the celebration!

Liberate America

Yeah, yeah...we got more coronavirus this week - you literally can't get away from it anywhere! A Brooklyn funeral home found a new use for U-haul trucks, the Pork Industry clarified all the acceptable ways to off a pig, and Brian mentions refrigerated trucks a few more times. Churches and the Re-Open movement share a love of ignorance and spreading COVID-19, and we discuss what we're watching. We've got your weekly favorites, and what the heck is going on with Kim Jong Un? Your guess is as good as ours!

Wet Market Bingo

The Canada mass shooting distracted us a bit, but then we got back into our coronavirus groove! Trump punished the head of BARDA, a pastor almost ran over a protestor with a church bus, and an Ohio man who said that COVID-19 was a political ploy ended up dying from it. People protested their states being shut down, a basketball tournament ended up being a cesspool of disease, and Mayor DeBlasio ended up with way more dick pics than he was expecting! We finally have a contender in This Week In Racism, our DOTW week intern is still missing, and we air our beefs!

Wrestling the Virus

Bringing you the most important news of the day - that's right, we give you an update on how both of our quarantine beards are coming along! Lots of pro wrestling this week, between The Big Show Show, the Dark Side of the Ring, and the passing of WWF/WWE legend Howard Finkel. Netflix put out a new Tiger King episode, so you know we had no choice but to watch it. The Guide for Opening America is here, but some churches never closed, and their death count keeps rising! There were big losses this week in Celebrity Obits, and all of your weekly favorites too!

Episode 100: Started At The Bottom, And Still Pretty Close To It

Top of the world, ma! Our 100th episode almost makes you forget about the global pandemic raging right outside your front door! Our Drink of the Week intern took some bad presidential medical advice, we discuss how we're spending our days in self-isolation, and we air our Beefs of the Week. Our long-awaited review of 90 Day Fiancé is finally here, and we talk about what else we're watching to make the endless hours go by! Of course, coronavirus talk is back - Boris Johnson has it, a Rochester man gave it to his pregnant wife, and it caused a Shootout at Sheetz! We review the celebrity obits for the week, as well as giving ourselves a huge pat on the back for 100 amazing episodes!
