The Boots, The Cats, and The Ugly: Recent Episodes
WUBS
3 amateur beatboxers cover everything beatboxing, and everything BUT beatboxing. So...basically everything, then.
And they said we'd never do it! To be clear, I'm talking about upload another episode within the month, but here we are, at the summit...of Mount BBK. Join us as we talk about who's on our beatboxing Mount Rushmore! Unlike the real one, ours isn't part of a huge propaganda machine venerating our decidedly mediocre patrons into bigger, better versions of themselves, it's just a small propaganda machine doing that. Hope you enjoy!
SPOILER ALERT!!! We talk about movies & shows in this one, and don't really spoil them, but I never cared about having things spoiled for me, so I figured I'd add a disclaimer here. Fortunately, all of the things we talked about are at least 2 years old at the time of release. If you think there's a chance we spoil something on your watchlist, then go watch it before listening to this! You've been warned.This was actually recorded around the new year, just, you know, a different year than this one. Cap'n doesn't like dealing with bugs. We're making a movie! Not really, but it's fun to talk about making one like we actually know what we're doing (to be fair, there is exactly 1 film/film adjacent degree between the 3 of us, so exactly 1/3 of the podcast DOES know what it's talking about, it's just that none of us know which third it is). We also talk about anime, and everyone's favorite anime merch store Hot Topic, for some reason.
P.S. You're not gonna believe this, but we're actually not dead, and sitting on ~10 hours of unreleased (and VERY unedited) material, at least 90 minutes of which will NEVER see the light of day :) Thanks for listening and happy new year! <3

Happy New Year beloved listeners! WUBS is BACK and BETTER THAN EVER in this latest episode that was recorded around 8 months ago, and was actually completed 7 months ago, but I forgot to upload, so here you go!
As the former exec board of "the most thriving beatboxing institution in the suburban midwest," the lads talk about the long-awaited - and perhaps not well prepared - Last Week Tonight reunion
This episode is brought to you by: Us! We're literally just doing this for fun
Episode Edited and Mastered by Roman
Happy April Fool's! This year, we did a little prank on ya! The prank is that we're gonna be semi-regularly posting podcasts again, except, wait...no, It can't be! We actually ARE posting podcasts again? We are, indeed. Thank you all for your patience and hopefully this isn't the nicest prank someone's done for you this April Fool's. Additionally, apologies for the low audio quality, we're working on it! The most important thing is: we're back! And better than ever! Or some of us are, as you're about to hear in this thrilling tell-all tale of the Crossroads Beatbox Battle 2023 held in Kansas City attended by the one and only GUI! (and also D-Koy, and Unhinged, among others)
Huge shout-out to Anchor for sponsoring this episode once again, and another shout-out to Otoboke Beaver, definitely check 'em out! Happy 2023, y'all! <3
Hope everyone's enjoying the summer! Now that pride month is out, it's time for wrath month to begin, so what better way to incite wrath than by coming up with our own list of the top 10 drops in GBB (and also not GBB) history!!! Since the original video from SBX is a few years old now, there've been plenty of bangers since then, and we thought we'd talk about it! Join Roman, Oliver, and Jon as they go back in time to correct the wrongs of top-10 lists past.
Wow! This is the 34th episode! We've been talking about many things for a very long time, much longer than any of you would know because we rarely upload anymore (trying our best here, to borrow terminology from a famous gaming channel, the backstreet boyz reunion tour is a really difficult time, thanks for sticking with us! <3). In this episode, the three amigos talk about the clock app, dwindling attention spans, and whether they have anything to do with one another. Just kidding, it's about beatboxing again

Editor's note: Had some technical difficulties on the last 5 or so episodes, which is why they're coming out out of order. We should have everything right as rain after episode 22 is finished and released!
How are we still releasing these out of order? Which director should Jon work with? How did we all meet? Why is videogamedunkey the pod's official favorite comedian? Will Roman ever not bring up the Beat of the Week score when he's winning? What's Oliver's favorite movie? All these questions and more answered this week! SHOW-GO's Beatbox Only Vol. 1 came out recently (at the time of recording), and we thought we'd take a stab at an album review. The album is available on Spotify, iTunes, and wherever else you get your music. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
