    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. This episode is powered by Revelton Distilling Company and sponsored by Iowa Beef Steakhouse, Jenny Farrell with RE/MAX Concepts, and Styled by JJ Boutique. Grab your tickets for the live show at Chuck's this Saturday through the link in our bio or at ThreeBeardsMedia.com.

    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.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop EP 3.23: Hit the Lights - AI Apocalypse, Japanese Porn Stars & Wild Reddit Confessions

    Billy and Willie are LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios with unfiltered banter on the wild new AI documentary that’s got everyone questioning the future. From apocalyptic fears and robot takeovers to optimistic visions of curing disease and exploring space, the guys debate jobs vanishing, the China arms race, and whether we should just unplug it all. They dive into classic docs, Lorne Michaels/SNL stories, Betty White dropping bombs in Hard Rain, J-Lo swearing, Karate Kid memories, childhood dreams of instruments and martial arts, family loyalty (“blood is blood”), and friend beefs that complicate life. Plus: a hilarious “F**k You Billy” QR code mystery in downtown Des Moines, the Japanese porn star name game, and Reddit deep dives on men owning sex toys, whether stand-up is harder in the TikTok era, and if being too wild in bed scares guys off.

    This week on Billy & Willie's Workshop, the guys are back after a killer Saturday night comedy show and dive straight into Primary Day chaos. Willie voted (sort of skipped it, and they break down family politics, straight-ticket voting strategies, Ron Paul memories, and why some races hit different. From there it’s classic unfiltered territory: gas prices that feel rigged, Iowa football tailgating debates, Josh Turek’s insane campaign hustle, the wild world of Murderball, relationship advice gone wrong (including a brutal “I slept with your sister” confession), and a deep dive into the greatest movie openings of all time. Plus plenty of tangents on Godfather vs. Casino, Star Wars skepticism, and the usual no-filters chaos you’ve come to expect. Real talk. No scripts. No filters.

    Live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios and powered by Revelton Distilling Company, Billy and Willie are back for Billy & Willie's Workshop! Willie kicks things off with a wild Memorial Day story — he accidentally set his house on fire while playing Arnold Schwarzenegger with a propane weed torch. From flying embers to bucket brigades and the fire department tearing the place apart, this one had everyone laughing (and thankful his wife was home). They also dive into why dads in their 70s suddenly turn into pyromaniacs, yard maintenance debates, and natural prairie burning gone wrong. Plus: A breakdown of the Kevin Hart roast, roast culture, and where the line should be drawnThe changing stand-up comedy game and why open mics are full of YouTubersHilarious "Porn Star, Country Singer, or Baseball Player" name game with Wolf-heavy resultsA 2019 lottery winner alimony nightmare, prison "would you rather," and a wild 1989 Iowa State basketball robbery storyReal talk, no filters — from sports to culture, they say what others won’t.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop EP 3.20: We're Live! McDonald's Playground Nightmares, Mafia Hitman Stories & AI Hamburglar

    Join Billy, Willie, and Chris for a completely unfiltered, no-holds-barred live episode straight from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios and powered by Revelton Distilling Company. This one’s a wild ride: Willie survives a Pilates session that feels like a medieval sex dungeon, the guys go deep on forgotten McDonald’s mascots and terrifying playground equipment (Officer Big Mac’s mouth jail, anyone?), reminisce about Grimace slides and ball pits full of mystery turds, then spiral into legendary Chicago mafia tales from Willie’s family — including Uncle Frank the hitman and some absolutely insane stories you won’t believe. Plus: AI turns the hosts into McDonald’s characters (the Hamburglar voice is comedy gold), a hilariously trashy Facebook Marketplace mirror ad, a savage “country singer, baseball player, or porn star” game, Reddit advice gone wrong, and plenty of zero-filter banter.

    Billy and Willie's Workshop EP 3.19 Willie's Back! Iowa Hoops, Caitlin Clark, Jordan Conspiracies & Childhood Chaos

    Willie is finally back in the studio and the boys waste no time diving in! From Iowa basketball talk — Fran McCaffery’s squad, Caitlin Clark’s game, and what NIL money really means — to debating Michael Jordan’s defense, modern athletic freaks like Victor Wembanyama, and whether MJ’s baseball retirement was actually a gambling suspension cover-up. The conversation gets wild with childhood nostalgia (Ring-a-Bell hoops, sock balls, yelling at painted trash cans), Kevin Hart’s roast, insane hot food stories, Reddit hookup horror tales, and deep dives into celebrity conspiracies: Scientology, Ashton Kutcher, Natalie Wood, and more. Plus guardian angels, interdimensional close calls, and plenty of unfiltered real talk. Recorded LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios.

    Billy & Willie's Workshop: EP 3.8 Ross Peterson - Zoophilia, Selling Gay Virginity for a Hawkeye Natty & Wild Reddit Confessions

    Ross Peterson joins Billy (Willie-less tonight) for a completely unfiltered, no-holds-barred episode of Billy & Willie's Workshop live from the AKC Andrew Downs Studios. The guys kick things off with radio war stories and FCC “overnight bucket” cussing rules, then spiral into one of the most ridiculous conversations in podcast history: the difference between bestiality and zoophilia, true empathy, and whether your dog actually loves you that way. From there it’s pure chaos — would you sell your gay virginity for an Iowa Hawkeyes national title? How much for basketball? They play “Country Singer, Baseball Player, or Porn Star,” roast AI, debate police videos and First Amendment auditors, and dive into Reddit gold: noisy downstairs neighbors who sound like air-raid sirens during sex, telling your fiancée you got your side chick pregnant, dating coach advice, and why we all stay up too late “reclaiming me time.” Raw, raunchy, and real — exactly what the Workshop was built for.
