The Weekly Substandard Expanded Universe: Recent Episodes
Thomas, Chris, and Ryan
Weekly podcast in tribute to The Subbeacon podcast, formerly known as the Substandard podcast, full of garbage opinions, star war arguments, and pioneers of the podcast genre Dudes Counting. Described as "mediocre terrible" by Flagg Taylor.
Ryan takes the elderly on their first uber-ride, Chris does Oregon, and Thomas is upset about the quality of a certain genre of movies.
Thomas is on a roll with the jokes (not favoured by Chris and Ryan), Thomas has watched Bridgerton, Chris has a story from the WSJ about sex symbols, and Ryan exposes himself as a mobile phone pocket barbarian.
Ryan recently went on a roadtrip with a singular focus, the boys have watched James Marsden's vanity project, Thomas is excited about cruising in parks, and Chris thinks he is playing the Price is Right.
Ryan shares some recent experiences from Indiana such as rodent pizza and a traffic update. Chris has watched Celebrity Jeopardy and was not impressed. Thomas is already on top of Twitter-alternatives. And how many teams are there in the Big Ten?
Thomas went on a trip, Chris has just learned about the Nobel prizes, and Ryan had a birthday!
The new circular economy is here to stay. Thomas brought a game for Chris and Ryan to play. Ryan has found a new Walmart. Chris is excited about the Gophers going undefeated late in the season.
Ryan struggles with his blower motors, Chris has discovered twins (not the Minnesota ones), Ben watched The Bear, and Thomas comes ready to share a new Swedish delicacy.
I love it when a podcast plan comes together. Chris has a new favourite comedian, Ryan got into a fight with a gas station, and Thomas introduces the Lassi-cut.
Chris and Thomas cover a wide variety of topics in Ryan's absence. Vanity plates, brown noise, the rate of tampon consumption in space, tipping and more!
Our lost executive producer returns to the show and chats with us about Putin's bodyguards, Thomas' new set of wheels, Ryan's adventures with pets, and much more on this weekly podcast.
Thomas wants to talk about a different kind of cruise, the boys discuss a brand new type of toilet, and how much are Minnie and Mickey actually worth?
Chris has been to a "family wedding," Thomas has come up with his best game yet, and all Ryan can think about is the new Top Gun.
Thomas got a bathroom story (and got a watch! Not related!). Chris has watched a bunch of movies. Ben Parker joins the show and helps the boys create the next, big Hollywood blockbuster that will win all the Emmy's.
After an all too long hiatus (it becomes clear in the show who is to blame), we return for the SSEU Week of podcasting. In this episode, one of the hosts goes to bat for Emily in Paris, we discuss the meaning of a "men's breakfast", and complain about a host of new movieshows.
Thomas explains where tacos really come from, Ryan and Chris get to play a game, and no one on the show has a future career as a baker. Oh, and the boys also discuss Inventing Anna.
The boys have watched Netflix's new Bubble-movie, which would have scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes had it been the only movie ever released. We also review the Academy nominees' swag bags and give helpful advice in our frequently recurring advice column.
The boys are briefly joined by the fourth Beatle, Ben Parker at the beginning of the show before they descend into discussing the new, hot show that everyone is talking about: Downton Abbey. They also discuss its American twin, The Gilded Age.
Tim joined the episode to chat about Station 11, Euphoria, and a bunch of other things. Honestly, it is a must list listen.
This episode has two signature features. The first is the longest quiz ever produced by a human podcast. The second is Shannon Last's EXTENSIVE thoughts on the movie Encanto.
Chris and Thomas are joined by (now) frequent guest Jim Swift! They chat about grilling, take a sports quiz, and Chris' experience meeting working man America for the first time.
Ben and Ryan are back with another episode of Ryan, What Is This? Is this the episode where Ryan finally scores a point? Listen and find out!
The boys gathered around the microphones to celebrate Christmas with a game, apartment hunting in Dubai, hated actors and lady actors, Holiday in the Wild, Rob Lowe, and more!
The Beatles are reunited when Ben joins the boys to chat about Swedish Christmas traditions, Chinese Christmas restaurants, Succession, and to play a quizgame!
Two episodes in a week? Yes, we do believe in miracles here at the Standard Podcast. Some miracles happen while you are flat skiing and others when you are getting raped by a beast of a horse. That (and much more) on this week's episode.
The lads get together to chat about a bunch of movies they have recently watched (including the Hangover and Stillwater) as well as escape rooms, self-checkout (who would have guessed), and shoplifters!
Ryan has picked out Halloween costumes for his kids. Chris went to a car wash. Thomas went drinking with a Dame? Dane? We also chat about the new season of Succession and DUNE.
On this episode, Ryan and Thomas chat with Ben Parker (again), Matt Robarts, and Jason Cooper about the latest instalment in the Bond Universe. There is disagreement. We also get more rankings than we have ever had in a single episode. And who is going to be the next Bond?
We invite a Russian expert on the show to chat about cars, Seinfeld, and the Ivy League.
In this episode the boys answer the question "Is Matthew Perry Dead? And if so did he die in a fiery car crash?" Press play for the answer. In other minutes the boys learn how to glue their dickholes closed. For sex. This is an episode of the SSEU Podcast and it contains content recorded during this recording of this episode of the SSEU Podcast plus other content that was not recorded during the recording of this episode of the SSEU Podcast and F1 talk. We hope you enj
With Thomas gone, Chris and Ryan take the opportunity to talk about their favourite sport: Formula One. Ryan also has some vivid dreams and Chris can't quite figure out how Hulu works.
Thomas wants to be the next host of Jeopardy. Chris is (again) buying appliances. Ryan is moving into the Kinney Palace. And we have all watched Primer, the masterpiece from the genius Shane Carruth. (this is not like a PBS Masterpiece garbage. I actually mean it is a masterpiece.)
The gang's back together! We chat about Chris and Ryan's holiday trips throughout the US. Thomas wonders whether Chris is actually white trash. Ryan questions his brother's choices and chats about his appeareance on the Subbeacon Podcast. If you want all the juicy behind-the-curtain stuff, we've got it. Chris and Ryan have also seen The Suicide Squad.
The show is down two hosts because they have escaped on vacation. Matt, friend (and frequent guest) of the show, have dug up a movie from the 1990s that provides a great look at today's social media (and college) culture! Come for the jokes about the Olympics, stay for the discussion on causeheads and merkins.
We can't even describe how excited we are to be able to use "poop" in the episode title two weeks in a row. Almost as happy as America's Mayor in drag. Or Kanye living at the Mercedes Benz Stadium. We also chat about other things on the show. Like the movie Abduction and Ryan's new gig as a booker and manager.
Chris returns to the podcast fully loaded with thoughts and criticism about Thomas and Ryan flying solo in the previous episode. The boys have tons of billion dollar ideas for inventions, Ryan has signed up for a mystery box, and Chris is watching Bosch.
The podcast storms back with an episode discussing the greatest Englishman who ever lived (Christopher Nolan). We also have time to chat a little about weddings from around the globe and learn about other cultures. Thomas has been on dating apps again while Apple is releasing a new watch and William Shatner has gone senile.
The boys delve back into a threesome of nonsense talk after their megathread guests last week. Plus Chris has watched Succession (mention Greg impression in some form). John Mayer - music and musicalistics.
We brought three members of the Megathread on the show to give us some of their rankings. What is the best state in the union? The answer might surprise you. Which Disney Channel Original movie is in the top 30 movies of all time? And who are the hosts of the Subbeacon/Substandard/SSEU Podcasts with the best opinions?
Draft Day? More like Daft Day! We have one question for Kevin Costner: Why? Are you in financial trouble? Listen to the boys discuss the way-too-long NFL promotional movie known as Draft Day (2014). Chris dives into a manhole, Ryan has thoughts about Adam Neumann and Thomas creates an awkward silence when he wants to discuss Odell Beckham Jr's attractiveness.
On this week's episode, Chris and Ryan gush over some space show that they have been watching. The boys also provide marriage advice although Thomas is concerned about how long those things can actually last. Chris and Ryan also get their NBA and movie skills tested in two separate quizzes.
Our own Matty joins us to chat about the 2021 film Me, You, Madness. We watched it so that you do not have to. Chris struggles to find a nice pair of shorts, we learn everything we need to know about Tysons Corner, and take a quiz on the escapades of conservative media so far this year.
JVL hops on the show to discuss the greatest dick joke of all time. We also have time for ladder porn, Flash's baseball career, and a quick preview of movies left to come out in 2021.
In this episode, we add another foreign accent to the SSEU menagerie. Shay Khatiri joins the show to chat a bit about Iran, Hungary, and his life in Phoenix/D.C. We also find out why the Bulwark editors hate him and hear Ryan trash the otherwise universally loved show Entourage.
Here is a new expansion in the ever extending SSEU extension universe. Lara, Tonya and Jan recorded the first ever Lady SSEU but never one to be upstaged Chris demanded to host.
In a first for the podcast, we are joined by an Aussie to discuss all things Vienna! Okay, maybe not. But we are joined by an Aussie. We chat about Aussie rules, disappearing prime ministers, Andrew Jackson, and how Kansas is actually just like the Gold Coast. Our guest also chose a movie starring Russell Crowe (we get a Crowe-ranking!) and Cate Blanchett to round off the episode.
The boys were supposed to discuss News of the World but no one liked it (and only the Swede finished it), so instead we are treated to a discussion about explorers in the Amazon, college basketball, a celebrity game, and a ranking of the worst people that you find online.
The boys return to 2004 and the second installment in the most successful heist-franchise of all time. Ryan has thoughts on Potato Head, Chris has watched some movies he wants to talk about, and Thomas is happy to once again live in a civilised country.
The boys chat about Chef, birth control, Star Trek, movies about Wall Street, and review the draft from the previous episode.
The third biannual SSEU Draft took place with Thomas and Chris at the helm together with guests Adam and Steven. Adam also eats crow about his NFL predictions while Chris is quizzing the youngster Steven on ancient methods of telecommunication.
How many kids can Ryan fit into a three bedroom condo? We might be about to find out. Chris has been immersing himself in Swedish culture. Thomas has a crush on an epidemiologist.
In the second (or so) hour of our chat with Tim Miller we address the really hot topics. What does Tim actually know about the Denver Nuggets? Does he think Hilaria Baldwin is Spanish? And Ryan informs Tim (for no reason) about how well equipped the gentlemen of the 90s Indiana Pacers were.
Transition! It is important to remember that we are a podcast of culture. From our own SSEU Music Group comes the hit single "No Shame in Counting" by Flaggie Boy. Tim Miller returns in the next episode.
Tim Miller joins the boys to chat about, well, everything! In the first of two episodes we chat a little bit about Tim's run-in with Corey Lewandowski, his favorite type of ice cream, his verbal abuse of Scott Erickson, the Bee Gees, and the fact that he doesn't know what prAna is.
The boys are joined by Jason (and Huxley) to chat about Home Alone and The Christmas Chronicles.
There's no consistent theme to this episode. We find out that Ryan doesn't know how to use Facebook, discuss the latest advances in console technology, got a new sponsor, and complain about the weather.
We dug deep in our archives and finally prepared a pre-Thanksgiving episode for release. Vanessa Hudgens, Kristi Noem, and Tulsi Gabbard on the same podcast? Unclear what else one could want. Chris and Thomas has news from France, pigeons are expensive, and what's up with the alligator sex?
We are once again joined by Mrs. Last to chat about her husband's eccentricities, what went wildly wrong when she tried to buy him a watch, spicy poop, minivan problems, and their upcoming move to N. Alaska.
The Pepsi Center gets a new name, chimneys cause problems, Ryan gives Thomas advice on which apartment to pick, and Chris has discovered a new streaming service.
On this week's episode, we dive into a discussion of the movie PASSENGERS from 2008. At Ryan's behest, we sat down to enjoy what we all expected to be an epic movie. It was...interesting. Anne Hathaway, call your office.
Ryan has a new favorite kids show. Chris discovered space toilets. More Ted Lasso. If you thought the food choices on the last episode were disgusting, wait until you hear about South Dakota cuisine.
Can anything be a pizza topping? What are all of these strange dishes? On this this week's episode, Ming joins us to (mainly) chat about delicious food items. We also discuss the recent comedy, Ted Lasso, from Apple TV.
Lara returns to the podcast! Together with our beloved hosts, she tackles airplane food, feet, hurricanes, and animal movies. Lara has also been to the movie theater since it opened back up and has a report on the new The New Mutants movie.
Flagg Taylor returns to the podcast after his sabbatical to chat about his vacation, surfing, and ice cream. Thomas wants to talk about TikTok while Ryan is trying to survive in the harsh Austin-weather.
Sonny bunch joins us for our second movie draft! We had so much fun with the first one that the only way we thought would improve the draft was to invite someone from the Subbeacon to do it with us. We also talk about The Bulwark Goes to Hollywood, what JVL and Michael Fassbender have in common, Zoom school, and Thomas' journey back home to Sweden.
Ryan gets stuck in a vat of pickle brine, Chris does not like sportsmanship in sports, and Thomas wants to get rid of movie theaters.

Can you guess how much Tom Hanks is worth? Where in the world is Palm Springs located? Chris is back, Ryan offers up a ranking, and Thomas is not a fan of traffic/speed cameras.
On this week's episode, Ryan and Thomas are joined by two guests (Haiku Jonah and Mustangman) to chat about Apple TV's new movie, Greyhound. Is it better than Dunkirk? The guests also give their submarine movie rankings, discuss Tom Clancy, and read haikus.
We have a guest from the Garden State, Ryan talks about his neighbors, Chris is going on vacation, and the hosts fight over The Rock.
On this week's episode, the boys return to a classic Substandard topic: fireworks. They also talk about Christopher Nolan and Thomas has prepared a quiz for Chris and Ryan. Our beloved hosts have also watched The Crazy Gang, a documentary telling the story of Wimbledon in the 1980s with Vinnie Jones as one of the central figures.
Two-thirds of the hosts failed to watch the assigned movie for this week so this is an episode about nothing where we talk about the show about nothing. And Mosquitoes. And buying gold. We also introduce a new sponsor.
The second inaugural liveshow of the SSEU Podcast features discussions of minigolf, Seinfeld, and the 1991 movie Backdraft (which predicted a world without police). We also have an important announcement!
Ryan is learning more about his neighbors, Chris tries to assemble a trampoline, and Thomas seems irrationally angry at kids celebrating their high school graduation. Our hosts also watch the 51st State.

Thomas has been traveling in the time of the Corona, Ryan is hurting, Chris almost killed a kid, and (fat) Ben Affleck coaches a high school basketball team.

JVL joins the podcast to chat about everything besides politics, including the future of podcasting (it's bleak), GE appliances (he hates them), counts, and continues to lavish absurd levels of praise on 1917.

In a throwback episode, our hosts hit a bunch of topics including scripted vs. unscripted shows, the Irishman, the Mandalorian, and a useful lifehack!
We might not do any single topic better than any other podcast, but we do ten topics better than any other podcast. If you're bored with a topic on this episode, wait 5 minutes and it changes. Everything from the Astros to A Marriage Story to nudity on treadmills and appliances
