We Read Reddit Stories That's right, we're giving into the millenial content machine and reading r/AITAH stories. First, though, Jonathan shows you his bonsai tree and tells us about a friend's remembrance he went to, and then I make a mockery of American racism in all its forms. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/36643895

I finally got to headline in my own town 05/13/2025

Jonathan did WHAT with a Llama? 04/01/2025

Jonathan did WHAT with a Llama? Sorry Jonathan is so quiet, I tried a cloud thing for recording and it went terribly. Me and Jonathan are still on our old man shit talking about oatmeal, Jonathan's pooping update, and how our beautiful art will age. I talked about reviewing music and the album "My Apologies to the Chef" by Winona Fighter, then we get to more drunken stories and strange goings-on before dipping HARD. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/35960870

Two Men Age 100 Years Over a 30 Minute Podcast Jonathan and I (your host Bobby Benedict) sit down to talk about his constipation, chickens, the Costco hot dog, and what types of vegetables we like.

My dog died but I wanted to argue about soup 02/18/2025

My dog died but I wanted to argue about soup I sit down with Jonathan Allgood this week for an extremely brief podcast. We verify that Marilyn Manson definitely removed his ribs, I eulogize my dog Phat Boi with some AI Minecraft parkour brainrot, we finally take the Soup vs. Sauce debate into 2025 after some proper studying, and then we cap it all off with the people's favorite new game Man or Bear. Then we get cut off by the free Zoom call because I'm doing broke boy activities. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/35335350

The Soup vs Sauce debate 2025 02/04/2025

The Soup vs Sauce debate 2025 Where do you draw the line on soups vs sauces? We don't know, and we've never known. I'm burnt out and you're getting a clip show, there's a bit of new commentary though so that's cool. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/35148890

Jonathan HATES Seinfeld and also I got married 01/28/2025

Jonathan HATES Seinfeld and also I got married I got married, a self-driving car yelled at me, most importantly Jonathan HATES Jerry Seinfeld and if Jerry ever sees that you should make sure Jonathan knows that you hate him too. Also I debut my new game show "MAN OR BEAR" where I make guests guess whether a news story was perpetuated by a man or a bear. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/35042520

My Cringiest Choices of 2024 01/21/2025

My Cringiest Choices of 2024 That's right, the podcast is back! I talk about what I did in 2024, including a cringy millennial music parody YouTube show. I completely forgot to talk about getting married; maybe next time. What we do get to is Costco monkey slavery, Jonathan's bible verses, wrestling, and all our classic Petri Dish banter. My WiFi didn't like this podcast, and because of the weird app I used for editing, I can't fix how out of sync my voice is from the video. Sorry! /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/34932495

See Ya Later, Fart Brains 01/23/2024

See Ya Later, Fart Brains THE PODCAST IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE PODCAST. That's right, the podcast as we've known and loved it since November 2016 is finally coming to a close. When I first fired up this feed as "Post-Nuclear Reno" I never thought it would become and almost 8-year-long obsession over the dumbest jokes possible that I would then try to call a "content strategy". The first 100 episodes were a labor of love for a comedy scene that I was way too active in. The next 100 episodes were a deep dive into myself and the people I surrounded myself with. I think the energy expended could be better utilized in some new creative ventures. So I will say goodbye to this beautiful podcast feed. Youtube will still have a few of these newer hybrid video episodes up, I may keep releasing long-form podcast-type videos on that same feed but right now I'm going to focus on edited things. EDIT: None of the projects I was working on worked out and I miss having a podcast. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/29613158

Getting Yoinked 01/09/2024

Getting Yoinked I've got Jonathan Allgood here to ring in the new year, we have almost nothing to talk about other than dick sweat. So strap in, it's just a straight-up hour of dick jokes and broader scientific dick concepts. While that's not entirely a lie we also get into In-n-Outs french fry secrets, the rise and fall of Huy Fong Sriracha, apocalyptic Taco Bell Plans, anger issues, and getting back into the standup mood. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/29406108

What Would You Fight For $2000? 12/05/2023

What Would You Fight For $2000? Me and Jonathan are here to talk about fighting animals with our bare hands, Jonathan's Tetris mastery, Spotify goosing Green Day's numbers, and some other things. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28938303

Traveling T-Shirt Salesman 11/28/2023

Traveling T-Shirt Salesman The alternative title for this episode was going to be "Old Man Yells At Cloud" but instead I went with something more to the point. I complain about the music industry and 15 minutes and then you all get to go back to your lives. Here's the article I was talking about: https://killerguitarrigs.com/bumblefoot-musicians-t-shirt-salesmen-record-deals-loan/ /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28825388

Live Die, Free Hard 11/21/2023

Live Die, Free Hard This week Jonathan and I summoned the strength to talk shit about all our Gen Z haters, then I talked about my dead dogs, and that's pretty much it, see you later. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28740308

Depersonalization Steamroll 11/15/2023

Depersonalization Steamroll I have a wonderful guest this week, Luke Demus! He runs a podcast called Topics and Tangents that I was on a few weeks back, and he's been one of the most consistently funny comedians I've shared the stage with. The bad news is you won't get to hear ANY OF THAT SHIT cause I've got TOO MUCH BRAIN WORDS and not enough SHUT THE FUCK UP. Watch as I pelt Luke with words for a whole ass hour about comedy history, my personal psychology, sad stories of dead people, and random opinions about stuff. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28655473

20,000 Leagues Under The Stink 10/31/2023

20,000 Leagues Under The Stink Austin Baca and Jonathan Allgood are the two in my stink this episode. Sorry. That's just indicative of the subject matter we discuss this episode which is mostly shitting. I get accused of blowing up an Airbnb, Jonathan walks us through his wiping routine, and then there's wrestlers and Tim Allens and a whole thing going on, watch on Youtube to get the full effect of this one because I actually edited it this time. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28466015

Can't Stop, Won't Stop 10/03/2023

Can't Stop, Won't Stop I sit down with ol' Jonathan Allgood to wax philosophic about, like, 5 years ago or something? I compare bits with a way better comedian, talk about Greta Van Fleet, and then there's a bunch of other words in there too. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28207115

Earthworm Chin and Protein Sleeves 09/26/2023

Earthworm Chin and Protein Sleeves Austin and Jonathan are here to roll my body around so that gas escapes it and hopefully that gas will flap my vocal folds around enough to sound like an audible joke. This week we bag on Jonathan for whatever just happens to be happening currently, see how many condoms you could eat with proper form, I give them a brand new type of Joe Rogan experience, and then I go on a 20 minute rant about food Tik Tokers that somehow also devolves into me talking about my weird high school program. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28146803

Brainathan Braingood's Nuisauncery 09/19/2023

Brainathan Braingood's Nuisauncery Sometimes I podcast tries its hardest not to come together. Never before has an episode of the podcast struggled so hard to exist but we did it because we're champions of comedy. This week we talk about Jonathan's NASCAR Buddhism, we get dueling Austins, I apparently don't know who Peter Gabriel is, then Jonathan creates a production studio and pitches us a cooking show. /episode/index/show/postnuclearreno/id/28073475
