Look, we’ve had a good streak going, but it’s finally here: our first bad episode in a long, long while. We’ll cop to it, this episode is a mess. Interference from foreign hackers interrupted our show not once, not twice, but like five times. It grates on the nerves a little. That said, we still try to cover as much of what’s going on as humanly possible. Russian mistakes. Chinese spying. Dave Chapelle. Millie Bobbie Bean. We’ve got most of that and some more crypto related things as well, right...

John has returned to us from his marriage to bring us tidings of what it’s like for him to have been wedded at a wedding and boy are his arms tired. With a spattering of what’s going on with Twitter, he’s really just happy to be back. Meanwhile, tech VR genius Palmer Luckey has devised a device that will blow your mind, quite literally, if you die in game. We’ve got that plus the latest Colorado River Toad news right here on Zero Credit(s).

For most people, midlife crises might end up in an exorbitant purchase in a vain attempt to recapture some of those bygone youthful days of yore. Some people might not even experience such things, as they are mature enough to acknowledge the passage of time without flipping out. But for one business genius Elon Musk, that purchase and that crisis is the purchasing of Twitter for whatever reason, with no ideas of how to turn a barely profitable company into a somewhat profitable company other tha...

This is it, the finale to the Frightentimes 2022. John’s received two gifts thus far, but will he be prepared for this, his final gift? Let’s find out the only way we can, by LISTENING TO THE EPISODE! And everyone congratulate John for getting married!

John’s back this week and boy is it time for giving him just more of the great Frightentimes gifts in celebration of his upcoming nuptials. This week we’ve got an update to his all time favorite movie The Animal starring Rob Schneider. Yes, that’s right. After 20+ long years, that cult classic is finally getting the sequel it deserves and John couldn’t be happier. Then we get bogged down with buying US Treasury Bonds because of inflation, which is the scariest of the flations. It’s all right her...

We’re pretending John’s back on this episode, so everyone pretend you can hear him as Henry finally delivers the great gift of Good Content unto him. What the heck does Disney’s Frozen have to do with an unsolved mystery dating back over 50 years? You’ll have to listen to find out. That and a brief stint into workers’ rights before Henry goes off about the ZA/UM Artist Collective dissolution for entirely too long, right here on Zero Credit(s).

The air is growing cooler (not really), and the nights are growing longer. It’s time once again for the frights to rule the nights. The Frightentimes are upon us once again and Henry and John are her– wait, where’s John? Oh no. John is not here. John is missing. Does Henry know? He doesn’t? He does? It’s both? Alright, well, we’ll see what he can do against the scary things that threaten us in the night. It’s the first ever Frightentimes Less Than Zero, right here, on Zero Credit(s).

Henry’s back from vacation to cover as much ground as possible, so we gotta talk about this chess scandal. Vibrating anal bead computers? Boom, we’re there. With a vengeance. Did Niemann cheat in his defeat of Magnus Carlsen? That’s a question. Let’s explore. Also, James Earl Jones sells his voice for legs like in The Little Mermaid and John has a lot of Don’t Worry, Darling thoughts, all right here on Zero Credit(s).

Yes, it’s true. The Queen died. I know, I know, you’ve already moved past that fact and here we are dredging up the long forgotten past, but it’s true and we must face it. The Queen is dead. Luckily, we don’t really want to talk about it because we’re Americans and all, but the fact of the matter is the Queen died. And we must talk about it. For like. A minute. What else do we talk about? It would be improper to say in the face of the light that is the Queen’s death, so you’ll just have to find ...

You’ve asked for it and it’s finally, finally here: the Zero Credit(s) Supplemental Reading of the Spideredman who refuses to go home. What insights and tricks of the trade did the ZC Boys pick up on upon this rewatch of the final movie in the Spider-Man Home trilogy? You’ll just have to find out by listening, fams. All of our opinions and a couple of facts (and more) are right here, on Zero Credit(s).

It’s August 31st and you know what that means. That’s right, it’s officially fall. Gone are the hot 100+ degree days of summer and here are the [checks thermometer] 99 degree days of the fall season. Pumpkin spice is in the air as are so many cloves. And this fall, it seems a certain President of the United States is on a tear – finally doing some of the things he should have been doing the entire time. That and John explores the cultural phenomenon of “quiet quitting.” It’s all right here, on Z...

Henry is basically recovered and John is solidly back from Vermont, so it’s time to get back to work. Boy, are things upsetting. We tackle the big media merger that is the acquisition of Warner Media by Discovery, a move that honestly shouldn’t be too upsetting, but of course it is because CEOs are involved. Then, we pivot to the world of finance as GameStop, the once-upon-a-time errant knight is back again with a hairbrained scheme that seems more malicious than cool, which is to say, uncool. W...

The Zero Credit(s) boys are mostly back this week with tales of their harrowing adventures through sickness and health. Henry’s sorta here after surviving covid (we edited out his coughs, to be sure), and John’s back from being in a different state, the state being Vermont. Not a lot of examining the zeitgeist in this one, folks. We’ll get back to the ole grind in a minute, but for now, let’s go over what happens when one has covid and when one visits Vermont. All, right here, on Zero Credit(s).

This episode was recorded last week – before Henry came down with Covid and John ran away to Vermont. So if things feel a little dated, at least you now know why. Henry’s been doing much better, by the way, and John’s still in Vermont. Regardless, let’s talk about Guy Fieri and his love of the band Rage Against the Machine. We also have some private jet discussion as well as a little update on a local alleged hitman hirer. All right here, on Zero Credit(s).

It’s the sensation that’s sweeping the nation: unimaginable wealth the likes of which the average person will never see in their life time. That’s right, it’s Mega Millions time! John’s been swept up along with everyone else in the country (where it is legal to gamble), and he’s dreaming big of what he’s gonna do with all his winnings when they eventually come to hi– and he lost. Whoops. Uh, this is awkward. Did…you guys hear about the chess playing robot that broke a child’s finger? No? Okay, u...

Wait, why are you leaving? This is a factual thing and I can prove it using the best logical of all – factual logic. That’s right, Henry’s back onto his insane theories of connecting everything happening today together in order to find the truth of what’s going on in the world today. No one can hide from his keen eye and questionable intelligence. So come on, join John for the ride, cause just like him, you are powerless to stop this conspiracy train from derailing all over the truth. Right here...

In 2011, a small company had a vision – to trick the elderly and confused into finding their movie in the bargin bin at the checkout of the local gas station and think it is one of the best action movies of all time (Fast Five). That company is The Asylum and the movie they made is 200 mph, a thrilling movie with “fast and the furious like” action that we had the unfortunate pleasure to uncover, and boy is it unfortunate. From terrible CGI to baffling plot and setting choices, this movie is a lo...

John returns to the podcast to help Henry get to the bottom of this new Avatar movie only to crack open the largest well kept secret in Hollywood: James Cameron’s secret agenda that he’s been carrying out over the length of his career. Not much more needs to be said, but John does introduce the concept of GentleMinioning only for it to get banned by theaters the very same day. This is an all-timer, folks, if you only listen to one episode of Zero Credit(s) this summer, make it this one, right he...

John is away for business this week, so Henry has tapped deep into the Zero Credit(s) reserves to scrounge up a guest. Friend of the show Jeff (@Gifsaidwrong) is here to bring us cheer. What delightfully fun topics does Jeff have for us during this very awful, no good, pretty bad time? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s by listening to Zero Credit(s).

John Interviews AI Inspired by covering text-chain generators and artificial intelligence in recent days, John has invited a guest, Cathy, onto the show in order to test her abilities and determine if it can pass for human. What he finds scares not only himself, but the very guest he’s interviewing. Will robots rise up and replace humanity? This interview holds none of the answers. A Little Henry Chat Henry is alone and dangerously anxious and sober. His ranting and rambling leads him to the ...

John is back from having Covid this week and boy is his mind just the Swiss-est of cheeses. Can he hang in there for our first inaugural 10-hour Marathon Episode? Probably not. The phones are still ringing folks, and they’ll keep ringing till the end of time. There’s nothing that can be done for them. We also have the latest hot takes on Joker 2: More Joker as well as whatever the heck John is on about when he starts ranting about Danny Elfman.

It’s John’s birthday! But he came down with covid, so he isn’t here to celebrate. Instead, we bring back a guest host we haven’t seen since reality split that one time. Does she remember what happened back then? No. She does not, because that wasn’t her. Instead, please enjoy the comedic stylings of Jamie as Henry and Jamie navigate some headlines (and their marriage) to get to the bottom of why all the villains are getting movies and sequels. We’ve got that and a little more, right here on Zero...

The internet is an all powerful but ultimately all dumb force. Through sheer memery and willpower of bad jokes alone, Morbius is seeing a second life. After smashing through the box offices without picking up so much as a couple of loose pocketfulls of change, Morbius is being re-released in 1000 theatres all because the algorithm doesn’t understand irony. We didn’t know this outcome when we were recording, but we nailed what was going to happen – jokes reviving a dead god no one wants to worshi...
