Oct 31

Welcome to the extra special Super Eric Hates Halloween Special! Where we definitely had the forethought to realize this episode airs on Halloween and planned accordingly!

Oct 3

As we finally return to the world of Dragon Ball Super, Goku instantly puts the entire multiverse in grave danger! Guess we shouldn't have left him on his own for so long. Our bad.

Sep 19

Fanmail returns in the epic conclusion, as special guest Eric joins us on our quest to devour all of your wonderful voicemails! Also talk about random stuff. It's gonna be great!

Jun 13

Well, well well. We're back with another conversation about the infamous Future Trunks Saga! This time, there are actual stakes, and no matter who loses, you all win. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's gonna make for some good content, so enjoy!

May 30

John and Spencer talk about life, the universe, and everything while they wait for the metaphorical manga to catch up to their metaphorical anime. Do they even say the word Goku in this one?

May 2

What could be better to celebrate the return of Future Trunks than the return of...Bulmalo? Yes, you read that right. Eric is once again writing Dragon Ball Fan Fiction.

Apr 18

The (other) Future Trunks saga is over! What did our boys think of the ending? Uh...they've got opinions, that's for sure. Let's do this.

Apr 1

We found something amazing in the depths of the Internet, and even more mysterious...Eric isn't completely against it? At the very least he ran away a lot less often than a usual episode.

Mar 21

It's time for this saga to start winding down, which means the action is really heating up! Plus John and Spencer talk about their latest Patreon escapades and why YOU should care. Or not.

Mar 7

Well, they did it! An incredibly entertaining few episodes that don't disappoint in any way. After all, how could someone possibly complain about something that's 96% perfect?

Feb 21

Voicemails! Texts! Emails! Oh my! It's time to take a short break from Dragon Ball Super to dive into your fan questions, and it's the longest series of them yet! Let's dive into the weird, the wild, and the surprisingly mundane with John and Spencer, shall we?

Feb 7

Some stuff happens in the future that really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, so let's check out a chunk of episodes where our heroes end up exactly where they started! (Goku and the gang, not John and Spencer. Those dudes are still evolving every day.)

Jan 24

Hey who is this Goku Black fella, anyway? The pieces start falling into place as some of our heroes (and Goku, for some reason) investigate! Meanwhile, other stuff happens too!

Jan 10

We're back with more Goku Black! Time travel and character drama abounds in these three episodes that probably aren't for everyone. But they're soooo good!

Dec 30, 2024

We're in Vegas celebrating Spencer's birthday, so what the heck, let's do a quiz show. It's John vs Spencer in a fiece competition of Dragon Ball knowledge, both true and fictional! Let's go!

Dec 13, 2024

Whoa, time travel? That's right! It's time for the return of a beloved character, a post apocalyptic wasteland, and needlessly picking apart plots and logic in an ill-fated attempt to digest that which is the new saga of Dragon Ball Super. Enjoy!

Nov 30, 2024

Finally, FINALLY. It's time for a new arc of Dragon Ball Super. Get ready for some...filler? It's all filler? Yep, it's all filler. Cool. Very fun and cool. Also, I wish I had come up with the nickname "Jelly Vegeta" while we recording, because it is very good.

Nov 15, 2024

It's time for everyone's favorite game: Dragon Ball Mad Libs! Get ready for some crazy hijinks as Eric tries to figure out what's going on during the otherverse tournament.

Oct 4, 2024

Aug 9, 2024

It's the beginning of something wonderful, as John and Spencer dive into a brand new Dragon Ball Super saga! There's jokes, there's tangents, there's even some genuine enjoyment with some Goku shaming sprinkled in. Universe 7 awaits!

Jun 28, 2024

What starts as a casual conversation among friends turns into an intense battle of wills as the boys draw themselves into a contest unlike anything else previously on this podcast. Okay, so it's not THAT great, but it's pretty interesting. Give it a listen.

Jun 14, 2024

The end of Freiza's reign of terror concludes with an equally bad reign of terror from the podcasts hosts. This episode is garbage.

Apr 19, 2024

Trust us, we do review the saga...eventually. Come hang out with us as we talk about everything under the sun, including the absence of the sun. There's like 20 minutes of Dragon Ball Super talk, too. And Spencer makes a complete idiot out of himself. So that's fun.

Apr 1, 2024

It's time to leave Dragon Ball Z (and Super) behind and dive into something that's going to be better for everyone. That's right, we're finally doing a podcast about Frasier.

Mar 22, 2024

It's been a while since they've had a dedicated fan mail episode, but the boys are back to answer your questions, inflate their egos, and talk about random crap. Enjoy!

Mar 9, 2024

Feb 23, 2024

We're in the thick of the Battle of Gods now! The stakes are high (and well done!), but will the universe survive? Will John and Spencer's sanity?! Find out this time on this show we do!

Feb 9, 2024

You looked at the episode length and either groaned or got excited. Either way, welcome! During this five episode journey into Dragon Ball Super, we'll see how these episodes stack up against the Battle of Gods movie, and go on plenty of random tangents as well.

Jan 26, 2024

Dragon Ball Super is finally here! Look, we could only watch the first three episodes. But we have a really good reason...we got lazy. I don't know man, blame Funimation. We're back!

Jan 12, 2024

Dec 29, 2023

It's time to talk about the last movie before jumping into Dragon Ball Super! Was the original vision for Resurrection F any good? Well...no. Not really.

Dec 15, 2023

Dec 1, 2023

Mar 10, 2023

Recapping the entire Final Saga of DBZ, Eric, John, and Spencer use questions and comments from the fans to fill in the gaps, but these episodes are so insane that they still talk a lot anyway. And Eric revels in John and Spencer's reluctant hatred, so that's fun.

Feb 24, 2023

Covering Episodes 287-291 of Dragon Ball Z, the boys finish the show. Finally at long last, somehow they made it. There's a fun epilogue in the future as everyone in DBZ grows up a little (except Goku), and Eric joins in the fun because Patreon said so. This is it, all!

Jan 27, 2023

Covering Episodes 274-278 of Dragon Ball Z, it's finally time to exit the innards of Buu and John and Spencer couldn't be more disappointed that this anime continues to go downhill.

Jan 13, 2023

Covering Episodes 269-273 of Dragon Ball Z, Spencer and John are probably going to get a little bit of heat for this one. The nostalgia goggles come off as Vegito arrives because he's so cool he can do anything except what he was brought into existence to do and that's just a little strange.

Sep 9, 2022
