    Who Needs Advertising When You Have Hate? | Ep 127

    This week on Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ Qualls and Kelly Blackheart, DJ and Kelly start with the important questions: Is LA dining actually a scam? Why are people spending $22 on Erewhon smoothies? And why does losing weight require your body to betray you in precisely the wrong order? DJ prepares for an extended trip to Vancouver, reveals the consequences of taking entirely too much magnesium, and shows Kelly the nearly 300-year-old Chinese plate he's donating to a charity auction. Somehow, this leads naturally to J. Paul Getty, trickle-down economics, and politics. Then the conversation turns serious as Kelly and DJ discuss the allegations surrounding the Cornell sexual-assault case, the institutional response to sexual violence on college campuses, victim blaming, and why a survivor's behavior after an assault doesn't determine whether the assault happened. They also get into the latest political circus surrounding Jack Smith before discovering a potentially lucrative new business model: if you hate the podcast, pay them to read your insult on the air. They'll apparently also consider breaking up with someone for you. Pricing TBD. Join DJ and Kelly for another episode of comedy, culture, politics, personal stories, and whatever the hell happens when these two try to have a normal conversation.

    This Plane Is Exceptionally Horny | Ep 126

    DJ has been designing bathrooms, Kelly is manifesting a Costco door, and somehow this leads directly into a discussion about a United Airlines passenger allegedly masturbating next to another passenger—and DJ immediately begins investigating the legal loopholes. Then it’s time for another edition of DJ & Kelly at the Movies. This week: Resident Evil gets high marks, 4D snow changes the theatrical experience, DJ explains his profound hatred of tentacles, and a discussion about Austin Abrams sends DJ into a full anti-method-acting manifesto. Next up is The Weight, featuring Ethan Hawke, Russell Crowe, an inexplicably well-equipped woman in the wilderness, and the realization that Regal Unlimited is exactly how you discover movies you otherwise never would have seen. Also: internet problems briefly remove Kelly from her own podcast, leaving DJ alone long enough to perform Frozen from memory despite never having seen it. 00:00 DJ's Actor Warm-Ups 01:02 DJ Finally Watched Anchorman 02:04 Purple Drink vs. Yellow Drink 03:10 DJ Becomes a Home Renovator 06:03 Kelly's Dream House & the Costco Door 09:12 Is the House Next Door a Front? 10:09 DJ Completely Stops Listening 10:34 The Least Sexy Sex Show in Amsterdam 12:25 United's Airplane Masturbation Problem 12:58 DJ Finds a Business Opportunity 13:23 Sodom, Gomorrah & Airline Policy 14:16 Is It Illegal Under a Blanket? 14:44 "The Man Is Innocent" 16:10 DJ vs. American Airlines 17:53 AD BREAK 18:01 DJ & Kelly at the Movies 19:10 Resident Evil Review 20:31 "DoorDash From Hell" 21:24 What Worked — and DJ Hates Tentacles 23:24 Austin Abrams & Method Acting 24:59 DJ Declares War on Method Actors 27:37 Why Resident Evil Works 29:13 The 4D Movie Experience 30:53 Kelly's Internet Dies 31:11 DJ Performs Frozen 33:12 The Wait Review 34:34 Avengers: Endgame Encore 37:05 The Wait Ratings 38:11 The Mary Poppins of the Navajo 39:28 DJ Hates Nerdology 41:09 The Wait Superlatives 42:35 DJ Performs Frozen...

    DJ & Kelly at the Movies: Witches, Aliens & Tax Revolts | Ep 125

    This week on Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ & Kelly, DJ is drinking purple drink, trying to fit back into his suits and discovering that his New Year's resolution to have more fun may have been a little too successful. Kelly proposes a solution: the same amount of fun, but more naps. Eventually, they settle on Fun Zero. DJ also has an update on his SAG health insurance, including an unexpected route back to coverage through his newly approved influencer contract. He is now, very reluctantly, an influencer. Kelly would like to remind everyone that social media works. Then it's time for the debut of DJ & Kelly at the Movies, our new review segment featuring star ratings, five-word movie descriptions, what we'd keep or change, and extremely specific superlatives. This week's movies: Hope: Spectacular action, a confusing alien subplot and a movie that Kelly describes as “Grand Theft Avatar.” Practical Magic 2: Witches, nostalgia, generational trauma and a very attractive magician who desperately needs to stop doing tricks. The Uprising: Medieval tax grievances, accents that require subtitles and camera work that makes Kelly feel like she's watching The Office at a Renaissance fair. Along the way, we reconsider our entire rating system, DJ prepares to die on the Fahrenheit-versus-Celsius hill, and Kelly offers a remarkably specific prediction about the temperature of his casket.

    This is the Dive Bar of Podcasts | Ep 124

    This week on Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ & Kelly, DJ has returned from Orlando with absolutely nothing left to give. He's recording from bed, the television has only barely been muted, and his social battery is officially dead. That doesn't stop us from covering the important news, beginning with the most perfectly constructed headline imaginable: 42 kilos of fentanyl and a small alligator were found in a Los Angeles luxury apartment. This somehow leads to DJ's SAG health-insurance frustrations, the possibility that anything we've ever said on this podcast could someday be entered into evidence, and preliminary plans to flee to Costa Rica should either of us ever need to evade the law. Things get more serious as we talk about public figures choosing whether to speak about Gaza, the distinction between governments and civilians, and why neither of us wants to become so overwhelmed by the state of the world that we stop caring about what happens to vulnerable people. And then, because this is apparently the only podcast we know how to make, Kelly changes the subject to a professional fitness competitor who shit her pants during a Hyrox race and kept using the equipment. DJ would like to formally object to being told this story. Finally, we get into Sydney Sweeney's latest campaign, the sexualization of female athletes, Shailene Woodley's baffling Emmys outfit and the fashion lesson everyone should take with them this week: if you need a cape to make your outfit make sense, change. CHAPTERS 00:00 – DJ Is Broadcasting From Bed 01:30 – Orlando Killed DJ's Social Battery 02:25 – DJ Just Wanted to Be Left Alone 02:45 – Meet Danny From Germany/North Carolina 06:00 – Moving to Orlando on a Whim 06:40 – Fentanyl Bust. Small Alligator Found. 08:07 – Please Be Patient, We'll Get to the Alligator 08:44 – DJ vs. SAG Health Insurance 11:28 – “I Hate Everything.

    I’ve Got Some Things I Don’t Love | Ep 123

    This week on Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ & Kelly, we're off to an appropriately chaotic start: Kelly is bleeding, DJ's face is bright red from tretinoin, and we're discussing the strategic value of loudly talking about anal sex while sneaking an entire meal into a movie theater. Kelly has been watching videos from this year's Halloween Horror Nights and has concluded that the scariest part may actually be paying to stand in a three-hour line for a two-minute haunted house. Then her internet disappears mid-recording, so DJ gives everyone an impromptu tour of his antiquities collection. DJ is also preparing to travel with an astronaut costume—and has already learned the hard way that once the helmet is assembled, getting it home is another problem entirely. Last time, a gate agent's solution was simple: wear the astronaut helmet onto the plane. Then things get slightly more serious as we talk about the inability to admit when you're wrong, cancel culture, Pink's reaction to Macklemore, generational conflict and why humanity sometimes seems considerably closer to running toward the thunder than evolving past any of this. DJ & Kelly at the Movies returns with Buddy—a bizarre comedy-horror movie that both of us loved—and Onslaught, which worked considerably better when the theater was literally spraying us in the face. We also discover DJ's perfect podcasting outfit: shirt, underwear, socks and shoes. Finally, Kelly explains how a neighborhood walk nearly turned into a true-crime documentary when a coyote got within inches of her nephew. Good news: the child survived. Better news: DJ is now accepting babysitting jobs for only $3 million an hour. Chapters 00:00 – We're Off to a Hot Start 01:02 – DJ's Face Is Regenerating 02:36 – DJ Starts Rumors About His Friends 03:12 – How to Sneak Full Meals Into the Movies 04:23 – Halloween Horror Nights Is the Actual Nightmare 05:27 – Kelly's Internet Dies & DJ Gives a House Tour 07:53 – Halloween Horror Nights, Take Two 08:24 – DJ's Astronaut Costume Problem 09:31 – The Disposable Astronaut Helmet 10:18 – “You’ll Have to Wear It on the Plane” 11:15 – Nothing Is Easy 12:05 – Airport Gate Agents Choose Violence 12:29 – The Cop, the Cell Phone & the Missing Hand 14:36 – DJ's Fear of Losing a Limb 15:01 – Grandpa's Ice-Factory Finger 15:22 – Holly, Jim, Holly & Jim 16:19 – DJ's Tennessee Storytime 17:09 – Do We Still Cancel People? 17:33 – Pink, Macklemore & Speaking Out 19:50 – We Just Lost Mayim Bialik as a Listener 23:42 – We're 15 Minutes From Running Away From Thunder 25:17 – DJ & Kelly at the Movies 25:28 – Buddy Was Weird as Fuck—and We Loved It 27:00 – Onslaught Was Fine 27:49 – Weird Movies That Are Weird Just to Be Weird 29:01 – DJ Needs to Do “I Don't Think So, Honey” 29:45 – I've Got Some Things I Don't Love 29:57 – DJ Is Podcasting in Underwear and Shoes 31:00 – DJ's Fargo Stunt Story 33:14 – Kelly Has Had Enough of Children 34:15 – A Coyote Almost Took Kelly's Nephew 36:26 – Don't Lose Your Dog to a Hawk 37:18 – More Onslaught & Getting Sprayed in 4D 38:44 – DJ Can't Quit P.F.

    Dump Him. Thanks for Listening | Ep 121

    DJ has returned from New Jersey exhausted, Kelly deliberately cuts off the intro, and this week's episode of Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ & Kelly is officially coming to you live from DJ's bed. We start with boundaries—and DJ's increasingly toxic relationship with American Airlines after a seemingly endless series of delays. After dozens of flights and hours spent stranded in airports, DJ has one request: if the airline is going to make him live there, could they at least upgrade him from the lounge that looks like a bus stop? Then we get into travel, cultural differences and the danger of assuming your own values automatically apply everywhere. DJ remembers trying to overpay a woman doing his laundry in the Philippines before being told to stop imposing his Western assumptions, while Kelly remembers being asked to stop tipping so much during a trip to India. We also talk movies that may or may not make any sense, the apparently essential inclusion of dinosaur sex, modern parenting expectations, people who desperately need to mind their own business, and the strange internet trajectory of Lohanthony. Then we finally dig into the listener inbox. One listener has been with her boyfriend for four years and has always been clear that she wants marriage. Now he says marriage is “just a piece of paper”—but wants them to buy a house together. Is refusing to buy property without marriage an ultimatum? And more importantly… is an ultimatum necessarily a bad thing? Kelly also explains why Daniel Sloss's Jigsaw relationship metaphor has stuck with her: sometimes the answer isn't forcing another person into the life you've imagined. It's recognizing that the pieces don't fit and choosing yourself. Plus: movie theater snacks, gaydar, asymmetrical faces, shareholders, sex in Thailand and DJ's revolutionary new philosophy: If it doesn't fit, get it away from me. I'm tired. Chapters 00:00 – Kelly Refuses to Finish the Intro 01:14 – DJ Is Setting Boundaries From Bed 02:10 – Live, Work, Sleep? Absolutely Not 03:23 – We're Beholden to Our Shareholders 03:38 – DJ's Toxic Relationship With American Airlines 06:44 – DJ Wants Concierge Key 07:40 – Airport Sleeping Pods & Travel Trauma 08:20 – California Summer Is a Scam 09:41 – Dolly Parton & Owning Who You Are 10:56 – A Very Honest Tourist in Thailand 13:17 – Sex Work, Judgment & Minding Your Business 15:17 – DJ's $1 Laundry Lesson in the Philippines 16:40 – Kelly's Tipping Story From India 17:43 – Why Does My Face Look Different on Camera? 18:49 – Listener Emails 19:10 – Another Straight Man Has Found the Podcast 19:48 – What Happened With Black Summer? 21:31 – The End of Oak Street Was… Weird 22:12 – Yes, There Is Dinosaur Sex 23:05 – What Movies Are We Seeing Next? 24:02 – When “Surrealistic” Means “This Makes No Sense” 26:27 – What Is Back-to-School Night? 27:03 – Parenting Expectations Are Out of Control 28:25 – Leave Britney Alone & Lohanthony 29:32 – Lohanthony, Christianity & Conversion Therapy 32:25 – Back to the Listener Mail 32:36 – “My Boyfriend Doesn't Want to Marry Me” 33:34 – Are Ultimatums Actually Bad? 36:40 – Daniel Sloss's Relationship Theory 38:11 – If It Doesn't Fit, Get It Away From Me 38:38 – Patreon & Happy Hour Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Didgeridoo Exorcisms & Why Women Underrate Their Pain | Ep 120

    DJ is finally FREE from corporate tax prep, Kelly has popped blood vessels in both eyes from too much research, and somehow that’s only the beginning. This week on Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ & Kelly, we get into Kaia Gerber’s story about being spiritually cleansed with a didgeridoo, Chris Hansen’s thoughts on Robert Pattinson playing him, the upcoming Anthony Bourdain movie Tony, and why having a Regal Unlimited pass has basically turned going to the movies into our part-time job. We also talk ADHD, visual clutter and the impossible task of getting rid of stuff you’ve owned for years; celebrity impersonators who may look more like the celebrity than the actual celebrity; whether yachts are secretly terrifying; and the important financial strategy of sneaking a four-course meal—with dipping sauces—into a movie theater. Then Kelly brings up a theory about the way men and women interpret the 1–10 pain scale at the doctor: are men comparing their pain to the worst thing they’ve personally experienced, while women compare theirs to the worst pain they can imagine? And could that be one more reason women unintentionally downplay their pain when seeking medical care? Plus: New Jersey, hangovers, soft pretzels, mushrooms, tiny thumbs and entirely too much information. Locked & Probably Loaded with DJ & Kelly New episodes weekly. Chapters These should work nicely as searchable YouTube chapters: 00:00 – DJ Survived Tax Prep 04:00 – The McDonald’s Flash Mob 06:23 – New Jersey & DJ’s Legendary Night Out 09:06 – Hangovers, College Drinking & Boone’s Farm 10:49 – Kelly’s Internet Is Still Fighting Her 12:01 – Kaia Gerber’s Didgeridoo Exorcism 13:49 – Robert Pattinson Is Playing Chris Hansen?! 16:48 – The Anthony Bourdain Movie Tony 17:18 – We’ve Turned Going to the Movies Into a Job 20:42 – ADHD, Clutter & Getting Rid of Everything 23:29 – DJ’s Extremely Disturbing New Art 25:00 – The Tupac Murder Trial 26:33 – Celebrity Impersonators Are Getting Too Good 29:45 – Are Yachts Actually Fun? 31:07 – Why Terrible Things Keep Happening on Yachts 32:42 – Do Men & Women Rate Pain Differently? 38:39 – Maybe Going to Bed Sober Is Unhealthy 39:15 – Never Look at Your Hands on Mushrooms 41:09 – Patreon & Live Happy Hour Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
