Advertise on podcast: Something Funny with Bill and Eric

What’s the difference between a smart dirty joke and one that’s just… dirty?Bill and Eric unpack the line between clean and blue comedy, arguing it’s not about how crude a joke is—it’s whether the crudeness actually serves the idea. Using anal bleaching as a jumping-off point, they dive into vanity, niche beauty standards, and the strange things people quietly care about.Along the way, they explore the gap between public identity and private insecurity, mixing in surreal metaphors, odd hypotheticals, and dark observations about sex, aesthetics, and what people really care about.

Ever watched a movie set in the American South during slavery and thought, “If I’d been that slave owner, I would’ve been kinder, fairer, and the slaves would have seen me as ‘one of the good ones’”? Yeah, us too. In this episode, Bill and Eric take down the delusional fantasy of modern people imagining they’d live up to today’s moral standards if they were born and raised in a much darker time. They explore a world where slave owners try tomotivate their slaves with golden tickets (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style), modern tech perks, and gimmicky loyalty reward points. Warning: If you’re not afraid to cringe at some seriously racially charged act-outs, we dare you to stick around for this wild ride.

Bill and Eric say the quiet part out loud—homelessness is society’s favorite horror story, designed to scare the rest of us into clocking in to our crappy jobs every day withoutcomplaining about it too much. Let’s be real: for people who live outside, the homeless sure do suck at survival. How do you have zero survival skills when nature is your landlord? And if Survivor: Bum Edition were a reality tv show,you know you’d watch it, then the after-show show Survivor Bum Edition Talk. So strap in, unclench, and see if you can make it through this episode without at least cracking a smile.

Every name eventually becomes problematic. Ryerson? Gone. Dundas? Erased. But who decides when a name is too toxic to keep? And why do some get rebranded while othersescape scrutiny? In this episode, we explore the absurdity of renaming things. Is it about justice, or just covering up history with a fresh coat of paint? What if your name suddenly becomes a problem? One day you're Jeffrey Dundas, the next, your namesymbolizes historical atrocities. Do you change it? Double down? O try to tweak the pronunciation? Tune in to this hysterically offensive episode to discover why there’ll never be a Something Funny Boulevard.

Bill and Eric delve into the classic action-fantasy world of Highlander, where swarthy looking immortals share a bond that goes way beyond head chopping, trench coats and 'bro stuff.' From speculating about why immortals form such intensely complicated friendships, to what it would be like when your bestie wants to decapitate you, Bill and Eric are all in on the sublime silliness of this super dramatic action franchise. Prepare yourselves.

In this food-based comedic two-fer, Bill and Eric take a deep dive into the hypocrisies of food and ask, “What exactly is a salad?” Is it just a pile of food with dressing? Does it have to be tossed, or can any ol’ pile of food cut it? Why is macaroni salad a salad, but mac and cheese isn’t? And if you throw some lettuce on top of nachos, does that make it a taco salad, or a casserole covered in astroturf? From there, they take a wild detour into the world of perogies—the pocket food that’s boiled, then fried, goes well with sour cream, but somehow has no traditionalpaired dish. It’s not a side, not a main, and barely enough to be a meal on its own. How did a food so delicious end up so tragically alone? And is it really a meal if you’re still hungry after eating a dozen? Find out what happens when two funny guys pick a random food and ask themselves “why” over and over until they either reach enlightenment or completely lose their minds.

You’ve heard of auto-erotic asphyxiation, but have you ever stopped to wonder... who started this? Why is it always dudes who are found dead from it? And is there some secret underground society of women who are just really good at not dying from it? Well, we have no idea. But that won’t stop us from guessing. In this episode, you’ll join us on a deeply irresponsible journey into one of the weirdest (and most dangerous) bedroom activities. We didn’t do any research,but that won’t stop us from speculating wildly, forming ridiculous theories, and letting our imaginations run amok. So, take a deep breath (while you still can), and let’s get into it.
