  1. Mermaid Farts

    14H AGO

    Mermaid Farts

    In Mermaid Farts, we explore the ridiculous side of ocean mythology, questionable mermaid biology, and the chaotic sibling logic that turns a simple topic into a full comedic exploration of head shaking human hobbies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    3D AGO

    Caligula and the War with the Sea

    Nerd alert. This week, we explore one of history’s strangest legends: Emperor Caligula’s “war” against the sea. Through humour and imaginative storytelling, we re-create this legend with our usual chaotic commentary and laughs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  3. Tree Frog Farts

    APR 26

    Tree Frog Farts

    This week, the siblings spiral into absolute nonsense — starting with a breakdown of one sibling’s latest stand‑up set and somehow ending up knee‑deep in conversations about animals, the feline element of surprise, and whether tree frog farts would actually sell. This episode is peak sibling energy: unfiltered, unserious, and weirdly educational in the worst possible way. Tree Frog Farts merch available in the near future. You heard it here first, folks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  5. I Should Probably Keep My Pants on During This

    APR 19

    I Should Probably Keep My Pants on During This

    I Should Probably Keep My Pants On During This is an episode where questionable ideas, half‑baked jokes, and unfiltered sibling banter collide in real time. Ella helps Rick prepare for comedy night We test jokes, roast each other, overshare, spiral, recover, and then overshare again. Some stories are embarrassing. Some jokes are questionable. Some moments make us wonder if we should be supervised. If you’ve ever thought, “This is funny, but also… should I be hearing this?” — congratulations, you’ve found your people. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  7. You Probably Shouldn't Listen to This - Joke Construction Part 2

    APR 11

    You Probably Shouldn't Listen to This - Joke Construction Part 2

    This week, the siblings go deeper into the strange art of joke‑building. One sibling brings the jokes. The other acts as the unofficial ethics committee. Together, they break down why some punchlines work, why others implode on impact, and how to navigate humour in a world where everyone has a different threshold. What counts as inappropriate? What actually lands as funny? What topics are fair game, and which ones are too sensitive to touch? Expect honest debate, accidental wisdom, and a few jokes that will never see the light of day again. It’s comedy dissected, deconstructed, and occasionally destroyed — all in the name of figuring out where the line really is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  8. You Probably Shouldn't Listen to This - Joke Construction Part 1

    APR 9

    You Probably Shouldn't Listen to This - Joke Construction Part 1

    The sibling session you are about to hear has been dissected into multiple episodes. Expect joke testing, joke roasting, joke rescuing, and the occasional “please never say that in public.” Does a joke belong on stage or straight in the bin? It’s messy, funny, and very, very real.
