Getting Pretentious

Comedians Jayce Michael Hill and Connor Preston Bentley prove to the world how pretentious they are by covering a variety of artists. They take their low-brow comedy and apply it to high-brow topics. They cannot stress enough that they have no idea what they are talking about.

Your Uncle Bill's Friend I just wanted to say that I don't care what you think. I don't. But I hope you like us. Please. We'll do anything if you just say you like us. We'll bake a pie. We'll mow your lawn. Hell - we'll even call your mom for you! /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/26829447

Tiny Swiss People 05/13/2023

Tiny Swiss People Europe is a strange and magical place full of dragons, wizards and Emmanual Macron. Sit down drink some tea and enjoy this amazing episode of Getting Pretentious.

Episode 53: President Biden's War on Podcasts Instead of listening to whatever this is. Stop. Drop. And Roll. Then meditate. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/24019086

Episode 52: Cowboys and Nerds 08/10/2022

Episode 52: Cowboys and Nerds Well it's been a minute. And that's because we care. It's called self care and get use to it. You know sometimes things happen in this world. And when they do, you need to be prepared. WD-40. That's right. You need WD-40. Not WD-39, not WD-41, but good ole fashion WD-40. WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT THIS PODCAST IS ABOUT. Please and thank you, Jesus Christ. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/24019044

Episode 51: The Supreme Court and Their Dubious Deeds 07/02/2022

Episode 51: The Supreme Court and Their Dubious Deeds Hey there, sometimes you just gotta get out there and be yourself. Other times, definetly don't do that. It could be dangerous. Because sometimes you're just not good enough you know? I mean, I'm not suppose to say that, but the truth hurts sometimes. This week we sing, play music, and generally suck at both. But whatever. Please like this, you could share it if you want but you don't have to. I love you. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/23614085

Episode 50: Ezra Miller 06/21/2022

Episode 50: Ezra Miller We have recently been accused of clout chasing with our episode titles. We argue that we are simply shameless oportunists who love a good easy way to get viewers. Anyways this episode we really dive into what it means to be an artist, the finer points of freedom, what it means to be an American, and why you should think about other spirits in this realm we call modern day earth. Also hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon are the building blocks of life. Here's the thing... those are super common in this universe. So we can assume the ingredients of life exist on other planets. Seems simple to assume we're not alone in this universe. Fart. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/23490050

Episode 49: Bob Dylan 06/11/2022

Episode 49: Bob Dylan We have guitars too! This episode Jayce takes a break from music and lets Connor do the heavy lifting. It's hard work making stuff up all the time. You should follow us on whatever we have on social media. How does one even do that? /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/23398004

Episode 48: Richard Nixon 05/23/2022

Episode 48: Richard Nixon I would like to apologize for the behavior and attitude that was displayed this episode. It was not right nor fair that these two had air time to discuss this nonsense. I think we should boycott their show and boycott any live performances they partake in. For example, they are performing live on June 21st in Athens, Georgia at the Flicker Bar. It will be around 8pm. So make sure to boycott this. It is important that we don't show up... on June 21st, in Athens, at Flicker Bar, at 8pm. Tickets are either $5 or free. But don't buy one. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/23193977

Episode 47: James Franco 05/08/2022

Episode 47: James Franco We talk about things, stuff, and subjects on this weeks episode! We put on our thinking caps and discuss things in this world. If you want be smart listen to our podcast and you will know the things about the world and all that stuff. Be curious, learn, go to your public library and pub. You too can be a smart person like us? /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/23040362

Episode 46: Mr. Charles Schwab 04/16/2022

Episode 46: Mr. Charles Schwab Do you need to retire? Well that's dumb. You'll never retire. That's like something you do when you 90 and also rich. How does one get rich? Hard work, perseverance, original thinking, blood of the innocent? Who knows! Also here at Getting Pretentious we are offering to buy Twitter for one more dollar than Elon Musk is offering. That's the game Elon, you play to win and win to play. Or whatever rich people say. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/22812626

Episode 45: Hillary Swank 04/01/2022

Episode 45: Hillary Swank April fools isn't real and we live in a simulation. The only way out is pepto bismal. Hear me out. I am 100% not kidding. Those in charge don't want you to drink an entire bottle of pepto bismal because THEN WE WOULD KNOW THE TRUTH. OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE REALITY YOU SHEEP! I hope one day you see the light. Until then. Stay safe. Stay alert. Stay alive. Also - bigfoot is real. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/22644110

Episode 44: Patrice O'Neal (featuring Damon Sumner) 03/16/2022

Episode 44: Patrice O'Neal (featuring Damon Sumner) It's weird that people listen to this show. I honestly don't get it. You know what's ever weirder? People wanting TO BE ON the show! Like who with a working brain would even consider it? Damon Sumner. That's who. Damon has a new album coming out soon so be sure to check that out. He is a great stand up comedian, father, and podcaster. Check his stuff out. Follow him on instagram at @damonrj2 to get information about his shows and his upcoming album release. Whew... that plug was exaughsting to type. But also laugh at him for the insane decision to come on a middling improvised musical podcast. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/22468094

Episode 43: Zelensky 03/10/2022

Episode 43: Zelensky We go over everything Putin needs to do to make ammends to the Ukrainian people and to the world. This is a very special episode. Kid's stay in school and dont be dictators. Also eat your veggies. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/22399667

Episode 42: Charlie Day 02/07/2022

Episode 42: Charlie Day Here we go. It's time. Let's get ready to rumble. Wubba lubba dub dub. Did I do that? Bite my shiny metal ass. We need a catchphrase. Those are pretty good. I need coffee. This podcast is weird. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/22048973

Episode 41: Adele 01/25/2022

Episode 41: Adele Where are we and how did we get here? The universe is constantly expanding at a rate that we cannot fathom and we are but specs of dirt on window pain, hardly noticeable and barely perceived. What can we do to live rich and fufilling lives in a space where time is but a blip on a vast canvas of matter and energy? For now, you can listen to this new episode. It'll help you drive to work, mow the lawn, or just forget about how tiny our little lives are in this massive void we call existence. I need a coffee. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21890948

Episode 39: Sir Paul McCartney 01/09/2022

Episode 39: Sir Paul McCartney Dear Listener, We are confident that the music in our podcast, which is made up on the spot, is better than The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Tupac, Mozart, The London Symphony Orchestra, and Cher COMBINED. If you disagree, then you're wrong. Sincerly, Jayce and Connor /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21720131

Episode 38: The Beatles 01/07/2022

Episode 38: The Beatles Hey there! We are existing along with you in this reality, if you can believe it! Believing is everything and everything is built on your ability to believe. So don't stop believing or reality will cease to exist. That's a lot of pressure for a humanoid. I am human. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21707705

Episode 37: Harry Styles 12/11/2021

Episode 37: Harry Styles We're back and ready for action! What does that even mean? Like who says that? "Ready for action?" What a stupid thing to say. I feel bad for leading with that. I really shouldn't have. You know what, I am sorry. These descriptions don't do the show justice. It's really a shame that they make me write these because they don't make sense. At. All. Okay, you know what? I can read the room. Effectively immediately I, Jayce Hill, am resigning from writing episode descriptions. I need to remove myself and bring in someone who needs the exposure and who has the hunger to do a good job. We are now taking applications for my resume. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21449330

Episode 36: The Atlanta Braves 11/24/2021

Episode 36: The Atlanta Braves Take me out to the ball game. Seriously. Please take me out to a ball game. I want to see a ball game. If you can invite me to a game, I'd go. I really would. I'm fun to hang out with and I barely need to be fed. Just one hot dog, that's it. This episode we talk about bringing me out to a ball game where I can romp and play and have a grand old time. We also talk about other things too, and sing, and do other stuff. Baseball. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21263702

Episode 35: Kim Kardashian 11/23/2021

Episode 35: Kim Kardashian You are faced with an important choice. You can either listen to this podcast or you can not listen to this podcast. If you choose to listen, then you'll have a good fun time filled with banter and funny songs. If you choose to not listen, you can do pretty much anything else. Like cook, clean, go to work, eat a bagel, eat a flan, or even shop at Hot Topic. The choice is yours. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21244799

Episode 34: Jason Sudeikis Part 2 11/08/2021

Episode 34: Jason Sudeikis Part 2 Dear Haters, Stop hating. It's rude to hate. This week we spent an entire 30 seconds talking about Ted Lasso and Jason Sudeikis. We saw that there was a ton of downloads for that episode so we went full clout chasing madness. And now for our desperate attempt to piggy back off his success by trying to manipulate SEO... Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis. Thank you, Jason Sudeikis /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/21093179

Episode 33: Stanley Tucci Poops 11/01/2021

Episode 33: Stanley Tucci Poops Have you ever come home from a long day and just passed out? Because you were so tired and worn down from a long day's work? Well that how we hope you feel after powering through this so called episode on this so called podcast. Sometimes life is just a gift and sometimes it isn't. It could go either way. Sometimes I question my ability to write episode descriptions. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20972882

Episode 32: H. John Benjamin (Barb is on this one) 10/12/2021

Episode 32: H. John Benjamin (Barb is on this one) There was a mixup in scheduling. Instead of John Bonham we accidentally booked Connor's fiance, Barb. Come listen as we figure out Connor's issues with fruit, we discuss the finer points of nuclear physics, and Jayce feeling like a third wheel. #TedLasso #NateTheGreat /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20792750

LIVE! Getting Pretentious at East Atlanta Strut 09/29/2021

LIVE! Getting Pretentious at East Atlanta Strut Get this... a bunch of total idiots decided to watch us record this thing live. I mean first off, I don't know why someone would even watch this when we record it in a studio. Like why? I mean keep doing it, I just mean this type of podcast really isn't my thing you know? Personally, I'm not a fan. Anyway - thanks to all who showed up and ate, drank, and put on sunscreen with us. We love some of you. #EastAtlantaStrut #EAVstrut /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20644589

Episode 31: Spongebob Squarepants (including Khaled Elchoufi) 09/27/2021

Episode 31: Spongebob Squarepants (including Khaled Elchoufi) Dude it gets super cool and super fun. Don't miss this episode. If you miss it there will be consequences. Including but not limited to: missing out on some laughter, having a slightly more stressful day, making me feel bad, making Connor feel bad and most importantly you will reduce the revenue of the show by 100%. Which was already 0. So way to go now we're poor. Please tell your friends about this show. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20539580

Episode 30: Sigourney Weaver 09/20/2021

Episode 30: Sigourney Weaver For the first time in awhile we don't have a guest. Which was kind of sad but still pretty fun. We talk about things, stuff, and subjects! We even speak about one specific thing that happened at a specific time. Time space is interesting right? Like it's an entire universe we have here that's just vast objects in motion. What is space? Are we space? What are we? What is we? What is what? Find out this episode on... Getting Pretentious! /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20533208

Episode 29: Novak Djokovic (including Matt Maher pt2) 08/30/2021

Episode 29: Novak Djokovic (including Matt Maher pt2) We actually don't talk about Novak Djokovic at all. I just hope he listens to this before he gears up to grab the coveted "Calendar Grand Slam". Good luck Novak. In this episode, we try to solve the mystery of "who stole all of Matt Maher's shit". The crime occured in the parking lot of The Local, a bar in Atlanta, Georgia. If anyone has information please don't go to the police. Go directly to our instagram inbox and provide us the details of the potential thief. We will perform our famous citizen's arrest on these miscreants. Reminder: Shaunak is still banned from the podcast. #atlanta #thiefing #lordoftherings #jasonsudeikis #mattmaher #novakdjokovic /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20286773

Episode 28: Billie Eilish-ish (with Jude Waguespack) 08/20/2021

Episode 28: Billie Eilish-ish (with Jude Waguespack) Jude came over and recorded with us. It was fun. We sang about the fate of seagulls and made some outlandish statements regarding Conyers, Georgia. Also you should check out Jude's band Good Luck, Humans, Jayce is in that band too but he's not the guest is he? Anyways SEO is important so comedy, music, improv music, improv comedy, Atlanta, and Jason Sudekeis. /episode/index/show/gettingpretentious/id/20205581
