    Billy & Willie’s Workshop EP 3.31: Ross Peterson Hinterland Corn Shucking, Full Bush Stories & “Baseball Player, Porn Star or Country Singer

    Willie is out, so Ross Peterson steps into the Workshop for a freewheeling episode packed with Hinterland festival war stories. Ross recounts four days of corn-shucking, people-watching (butt cheeks are the new cleavage), the infamous “full bush” stripper conversation, Instagram photo poses, armpit-hair observations, and why the festival crowd never really changes. The guys dig into body positivity, Lizzo, cultural distractions, and the lack of nuance in today’s team-picking politics before launching into a chaotic round of “Baseball Player, Porn Star or Country Singer.” A late-show real-estate question about being naked in your own backyard turns into a full legal deep-dive with special guest attorney John. Plus: Tony Rock is coming to Chuck’s on September 3 for a special live Billy & Willie show, the new B-Side Boys Rugby Podcast launches tomorrow, and plenty of the usual unfiltered Workshop energy.

    Billy & Willie Workshop EP: 3.30 Hinterland Mode, Trump’s Stand-Up Bombs & Uncle Frank’s Koi Pond

    Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studio and powered by Revelton Distilling Company. Billy, Willie, and Chris lock in for another unfiltered Tuesday of real talk. They break down the packed, dialed-in energy at their recent Chuck’s show and the magic of those five questions that always spawn the best road stories. Trump’s White House Correspondents Dinner “stand-up” gets roasted after he bombs jokes (possibly written by Tony Hinchcliffe) and starts blaming the writers mid-set. Celebrity and athlete height surprises, short-guy observations, and a wild email pitching clean-comedy Rabbi Bob Alper as a guest all get the full workshop treatment. Uncle Frank returns with classic stories involving speech impediments, bar-stool reveals, water moccasins, and a Mexican koi pond that ends in thrown flowers and knockout punches. The crew plays their favorite name game—singer, baseball player, or porn star?—with Levi Lowry, Logan Porter, Cole Harvey, Kale Tyson, and Casey Daniels. Weird news rounds include a Costco employee and the famous $1.50 hot dog, plus a professor’s invisible “Madagascar” AI trap that flunked 32 out of 35 students. School cheating confessions, tuxedo-shop stories, conference skepticism, and a deep dive into the gender-bending, people-watching chaos of Hinterland round out the episode.

    Billy & Willies's Workshop EP 3.29 Bill Meets Hawkeye Legends: Desmond King, Brad Banks & a Story Years in the Making

    Bill finally gets the opportunity he has waited years for—telling former Iowa Hawkeye star Desmond King the hilarious story inspired by King’s interception against Pitt. The guys relive Bill’s unforgettable day with Desmond and Heisman Trophy runner-up Brad Banks and wonder how Hawkeye Hangover can possibly top its first major guests. Plus, Billy and Willie debate the entertainment value of soccer, break down the dramatic acting of injured players, revisit the strange world of Branson comedy, share more classic stories during Tuesdays with Willie, reveal their redneck power rankings, and play another round of Baseball Player, Porn Star or Country Singer. It’s another completely unfiltered episode of Billy & Willie’s Workshop, LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studio.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop EP 3.28 The Boys Are Back: Home Run Derby Dominance, Caitlin Clark Defense Drama & Wild Bison Attack

    Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios and powered by Revelton Distilling Company, Billy and Willie are back in the saddle for another unfiltered episode of Billy & Willie's Workshop! The guys kick things off recapping the Home Run Derby — that effortless young Cardinals slugger, Schwarber's performance, the new format, and why they miss the old-school one-on-one battles from Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays days. They also dive into WNBA talk, defending Caitlin Clark's heavy defensive attention, turnovers, and pushing back hard on critics who twist their words into "MAGA" narratives. Real talk on respect, physicality, and why she's guarded like that. Willie shares Vegas gambling influencer stories (Max Bet Omar, Vegas Matt, and those suspicious slot machine wins), epic trip wins/losses, and hotel room heists. They roast stand-up life, chat with insights on Greg Warren and Mark Gross, ball-busting, clean comedy, and the grind of the road. Plus: the hilarious "Baseball Player, Country Singer, or Porn Star?" game, a Des Moines robbery story that involves forced push-ups, solid dating advice for a coworker who keeps reaching out, and a full breakdown of that insane Yellowstone bison attack video that had everyone dying.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop EP 3.27: Willie's Back from Vegas

    Willie’s back from Vegas and the Workshop is in full swing! Billy and Willie kick things off with wild weather, Wizard of Oz analogies for politics, and plenty of nostalgia about old-school baseball, Little League glory days, stirrup pants, and the wild lies kids used to tell before the internet. The conversation bounces from Trump at NATO and soccer drama (red cards, diving, and why Americans still don’t fully get it), to misheard song lyrics, Paul stories, AI billboards, and a chaotic game of “Porn Star, Country Singer, or Baseball Player.” JT joins in with USA soccer talk and more.

    What happens the day after your first-ever live comedy show? Absolute chaos, of course. Billy, Willie, and Chris break down the night at Chuck’s in Des Moines— the crowd energy, the “tag” game that took a minute to catch on, Willie's never-ending battle with being photobombed by a bottle of Revelton, and why the goal for the next one is to turn people away at the door. From there the show goes completely off the rails (as usual): Defending local businesses against ridiculous Facebook food reviewsA deep (and surprisingly educational) dive into the origins of slurs and Italian last namesThe return of the legendary “Country Singer, Baseball Player, or Porn Star?” game with some truly unhinged revealsReddit rabbit holes: sexual incompatibility breakups, post-breakup hookups, and the worst dirty talk fails ever recordedViral stories that will leave you speechless — including an Airbnb host who used security cam footage to blow up a guy’s marriage and a woman who quit her job to breastfeed her 36-year-old boyfriend full-timeAll LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop EP 3.25: Haters Comments, NCAA Rules and Saying goodbye to our friends at KXNO

    Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studio, Billy and Willie return for Episode 325 with a full load of Father's Day shenanigans. The guys kick things off hyping their upcoming live comedy show at Chuck's featuring Danny T, Kurt Fletcher, and AJ Simmons — tickets are almost gone, so grab yours before they shut the door. They react to the latest wave of haters and wild comments on their clips (including the John Jones/Michelle Obama moment and the tax hypocrisy rant), break down the NCAA's new age-based five-year eligibility rules and what it means for redshirts and JUCO players, dive into the latest NIL money rankings (Iowa's looking strong at #16), and react to the shocking KXNO layoffs including Heather Burnside and Sean Roberts — plus their bold idea to start their own local radio station. Things get completely unfiltered when they fire up their favorite game guessing which celebrities are baseball players, country singers, or... well, you already know. Reddit questions about dating switcheroos and questionable post-pants habits bring the usual chaos, impressions, and running gags. Real talk. No filters. No scripts. Just two dudes saying what everyone else is thinking.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop EP 3.24 Welcome to Chuck's (New Mic Chaos, Knicks Riots & High School Mayhem)

    Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios and powered by Revelton Distilling Company. This week Billy and Willie kick things off with major tech struggles and a brand new $600 mic that still can't stop the freezes. They dive into the Knicks playoff run, wild NYC celebrations (bus burning and all), and debate if they'd lose their minds if Iowa or the Hawks finally won it big. Billy shares the wild story of a last-minute headlining gig after Steve Trevino's show got canceled hours before showtime — 60 disappointed fans, surprise sets, and all the chaos that followed. Plus, epic high school homecoming stories, chasing down trouble in Des Moines, and plenty of unfiltered real talk. They break down their latest commercial masterpiece for Chuck's Family Restaurant (five families, Family Circus, and Family Guy walk into an Italian spot), Mad Men nostalgia, Reddit ridiculousness (including a McMuffin lawsuit), Jelly Roll divorce drama, and the return of the classic "Baseball Player, Country Singer, or Porn Star" game.
