About
This is a comedy podcast hosted by Jakob Burrows and Anders Backlund. We dig out absurd and amazing things from hidden corners of the internet and take apart our favourite (and least favourite) TV-shows and movies.
Other Things
#163 - Pipe Spinning
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
This week Anders updates us on his "get up at five in the morning and do meaningless things" experiment. Yeah, I don't understand it either, but it doesn't matter – Anders loves a hater.
- THE DRAKE OF PODCASTS: Let's talk real quick about how we're the best. Except today.
- THE 100: Let's talk about some television that we don't hate, for once.
- BASIC STORY STUFF: Talking about the sliding scale of predictability and absurdity leads us into red herrings, Chekhov's gun, pipe spinning, and other popular terms that everyone knows and uses a lot.

#161 - The City of Lights
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
After a top-notch Ronda concert and some northern lights we were extra pumped for podcasting.
- KNIGHTS OF MANPOWER: Today we're joined by Johan W, the modern day Edward Tesla. He (eventually) tells us what it's like working with – you guessed it – Tesla coils.
- METEOR SHOWERS VS NORTHERN LIGHTS: Do you ever look up at the night sky, bro?
- THE 10,000 HOUR MYTH: Another patented Jakob Burrows motivational speech. This is the video we were talking about by the way.

#159 - Where Dreams Come True
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
You want podcast? We got podcast! This episode marks the return of former (and current?!) show member Carl/Calle. Listen to the end for the first instalment of On The Road With Carl.
- DREAMS ARE DUMB: A subconscious pitch for a movie where Spider-Man and Kingpin eat ice cream on the pier leads to us taking apart why being a mindreader would be terrible. Unless you were reading Anders' mind maybe.
- MAKING THE CRAP: It's the hardest part of any creative process. Anders was going to be drawing a lot this summer – how is that going? Was it all talk?! (Yes.)
- ANTI WALTER WHITE: Get your finances in order! Have you sorted out your pension?!

#157 - Tony Potatoheart

The episode where we talk smack about everyone who has ever been on the show.
- WOW YOU STILL DO THAT: A new review from an old listener sparks a retrospective where we lift away the kimono and allow you a peek inside the inner workings of the show.
- SECRET COMPETITIONS: They are the basis of all society, and the reason you look at "happy people" and hate them. (Everyone does that, right? It can't just be me...)
- PASTA VS RICE VS POTATO: The ultimate battle of ultimate cookery.

#155 - It's Robin Hood I Want
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
We've been to an archery range so of course our brains are buzzing with bows and arrows. Why does Jakob hate talented people? What would we do in the apocalypse? (Die immediately.)
- WINKING 101: Jakob manipulates Anders' eye-lids, feeling his eyeballs move underneath and oh god so gross. We also explore Anders' body in other fun ways.
- PULL WITH YOUR BACK: Let us tell you how and when and why to archer.
- PRIME VS. ZOOM: So you want to be a photo-type person? Hope you're looking forward to spending all your money on lenses forever.

#153 - Subversive Social Media

Midsummer again! Aagh! This junk again!? With the costumes and the fiddles? Oh okay fine let's do it. Join us this week to find out about the Swedish crusades (no, not the ones you're thinking of), and we also puzzle out the origins of the Swedish flag – and why the dalahäst is a much better national symbol.
- STOCKHOLM BLOODBATH: As always, we start with a quick history lesson. Actually I wrote that as a joke but then I realized that we actually do that every week so yeah.
- A DALA HORSE SKULL: Come learn our one-step guide to crafting a unique online persona. Here's a hint – it involves throwing up. Also more history.
- SUNSCREEN: Everybody's free (to wear sunscreen (except Anders)).

#151 - Describing in Negatives
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
Sweden's had it's National Day again and again no one really noticed or cared. Except us! Except you! Except Google!
- PATRIOTISM: Racist assholes occupy huge chunks of our cultural heritage – what parts do we need to reclaima? What parts DON'T we need to reclaima? And will Anders EVER pass through a subway barrier without flinching?
- IMPRESSIONISM: Anders has finally finished his stupid thing so we're done with that. In the end it's probably a great thing that he's been forced to slightly diverge from his usual impressionistic way of reading text.
- PIXARISM: There hasn't been a lot of video content coming out of the Awesomepedia factory these past few years. Is that about to change...?

#149 - Actually an Arachnid
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
Anders is using words like "social construct"; he's been hanging out with too many liberals, or maybe he's a fascist, it's actually hard to tell. Jakob, of course, is a capitalist who wants your iPods.
- CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF: You say tomato; I say I'll see you in court! You say "we're human beings and want to be treated as such"; I say "mutants must be registered, you monster"!
- DISSERTATION: University level science is a farce. Or is it a bowl of rice?
- CAT PERSON OR DOG PERSON: It's a trick question.

#147 - Fanzine VS Francine
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
Remember to not describe in negatives and that "funny" is not the same as "fun".
- SIS2015: Jakob is back from Stockholm International Comics Festival where he filled up on thoughts and gin! We talk zines, vinyls, and delve into the history of CD, for some reason.
- POOR LITTLE NERD: Look at Anders, nailing himself to the cross of education over here. Pfft.
- WE'RE ALL IN BANDS: Let's have some reviews, from VANT to James Holden to Hollie McNish.

#145 - The Rainbow Bridge
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE EPISODE
This was recorded two weeks ago but is only up now because of our lifestyle choices. Hope you enjoy!
- FLASHBACK: Netflix made a new Daredevil show! So of course talking about that leads to Anders telling lies about the past, and we need to go have a look in a few flashbacks.
- INSIDE ANDERS: Favourite colour, food, weather, book... You know, things you always wanted to know about Anders! This is absolutely not because we have nothing else to talk about.
- THE ARTIFICAL TIME MATRIX: We're stuck in built in mechanism of accelerating insanity!
