Description

This long-running comedy and pop culture podcast launched in October 2010. The "Swish Edition" is hosted by Scott Wallis from his 'secret underground studio' in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Robbie Barnett, coming to you from just outside Walla Walla, Washington. The weekly show features news and snarky commentary on the entertainment industry, travel, marketing trends, crazy celebrities, crazier criminals, people behaving badly, and much more. Scott, along with the now-retired Dale Blades, originated the show in Washington, D.C., before moving to Las Vegas in 2018. Episodes have been heard in over 144 countries, have featured hundreds of guests from all walks of life, and, once upon a time, the show reached the top 2% of Apple Podcasts' comedy list. New episodes drop every Wednesday from September until the end of June.

We Will Always Love You - A Tribute to Dolly Parton
2026/08/27
This is a very special SWISH EXTRA --  As everyone on the planet knows by now, Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80-years-old this past Tuesday, August 25, in Nashville. And we just had to fire up our cameras and mics and record a loving tribute.  She was universally loved by literally everyone. She was more than just a singer. She was also an actress, a businesswoman, and a humanitarian who loved everyone for who they were. She was self-deprecating and wickedly funny. She purposely steered clear of discussing politics so as not to offend any of her millions and millions of fans. Dolly will be greatly missed and she was definitely taken too soon.  This is our love letter to a true angel.  Y'ALL CONTACT US: [email protected] AND FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/swisheditionpodcast/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/swishedition/ X - https://x.com/swishedition

Everybody Here is a Work of Art
2026/08/05
Back in their respective studios this week, Scott and Robbie are talking about how Grandma's happy hour is happier now that the liquor laws were changed in Minnesota; because Generation Z and other young people aren't drinking much at all, bars are going the extra mile to court Gen Xers and Millennials with themed events and earlier start times; DoorDash has received FAA approval to develop and deploy their own drones to deliver food (and we're scared); how a New York state school district nixed their plans to buy $60,000 robots to help teach and tutor children; a Florida woman was booted off an Alaska Airlines flight for standing up and preaching about God in the aisle; 85 year old "Knot's Landing" actress Donna Mills has joined OnlyFans; and 90's singer Taylor Dayne announces a Las Vegas residency and Scott bought tickets to opening night this coming November.

Things Can Only Get Better
2026/07/29
Things can only get batter when Robbie is LIVE in Las Vegas in the flesh with Scott! This is our very special July 29th episode in a nifty new studio. Together, your co-hosts are talking about the retro 1980's concert they went to with Howard Jones, Modern English, The English Beat, and Wang Chung at Resorts World…Washington, DC's new Resale Act that goes after ticket resellers…this Fall's "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" tour…and then a discussion about television shows that were either cancelled too soon (think "My So Called Life") or stayed on the air way past their expiration dates (we're looking at you, "The X-Files"). After all of that, the boys started a new podcast segment where they pull random questions from Scott's "Six Million Dollar Man" lunchbox to take the conversation in unexpected directions.

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Podcast
2026/07/15
In honor of National Hot Dog Day, Scott and a reluctant Robbie ('cause he doesn't eat real hot dogs, doncha know), are talking about Pringles' new line of Pringles-flavored hot dog buns (say what?!); Jenifer Lewis' "Jackie's Back!" mockumentary is also celebrated today, Jackie Washington Day; a California Chinese restaurant levies fees if your kids act a fool; Pepsi apologizes for a funny social media post, because people are too sensitive these days; we don't have any love for Meta's Threads because we don't understand why it exists; and, we talk about "Jaws" again (because we're always going to do that, especially in the Summertime) and how even actors who had tiny bit parts are still capitalizing off the shark attack classic. But that's not all. folks! We also talk about a new "Nightmare on Elm Street" that's been green-lit at Paramount; another sequel to 1992's erotic thriller "Basic Instinct" is coming, this time written by the original movie's screenwriter, Joe Eszterhas; you can buy Bruce Wayne's Wayne Manor from the 1960's television show (but the Batcave is not included, sadly); a naked stand-up comedy show kicked off a naked bike ride in Chicago this past weekend (why?); the first-ever FIFA halftime show is happening this coming Sunday afternoon (along with a soccer game, supposedly); and, we pay tribute to singer Bonnie Tyler and actor Sam Neill, who both left u s this past week. It's a lot, y'all, but it's a super fun, all-over-the-map conversation.

I'd Like to Express My Extreme Point of View
2026/07/08
Wow! We're excited, and hope you'll dig it, too, because we've brought back old-school 'Swish Edition' by spending the first 20-minutes of the show in a free-flowing, all-over-the-map conversation. We think it's fun, y'all.  After that, Scott insisted that this week's new episode should be dedicated to the world of country music of the 1970s, but Robbie kinda sorta mandated that we HAD to discuss the official release of Madonna's new "Confessions II" album. So, we do the whole Siskel and Ebert treatment on that. And, man, Robbie gets FIRED up. It's both fun and a little scary to watch. He's passionate about his Madonna and he's bringing ALL the facts and insights. We also discuss Disneyland celebrating their one-billionth guest; AI-powered actress Tilly Norwood landing  a feature film role; Weird Al and Madonna say no to AI (but is she telling the whole truth?); the late Willy Wonka actor, Gene Wilder, is being resurrected for a new reality show; and, much more pop culture silliness of the week.  Stream, download, and subscribe to the audio version of the show on most popular podcast distribution apps and sites, such as Spotify, iHeart, Apple Podcasts, Audible, YouTube Music, and Podbean.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Pop Culture
2026/07/01
A few days before America's big fat 250th birthday, hosts Scott and Robbie are talking about one of the most American things of all time—Dolly Parton's new Tennessee truck stop! Then, they're talkin' about the increasing (and very troubling) Big Brother-like AI surveillance systems that are being deployed in the U.S. at places such as bars, stop signs, and crosswalks. Plus we have the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds taking over the skies of Las Vegas; Bed, Bath & Beyond coming back in a big way; a crazily frivolous lawsuit is targeting Waffle House's advertisements; physical media—like DVDs and vinyl records—are more important than you thought; "Murder She Wrote" has it's time to shine again on the stage; and, our word of the week is 'mononymous.' You know lots of mononymous celebs, like Cher and Madonna and Seal and Sting. If you had a mononymous name, what would it be? All that, and more pop culture topics…stuff you just HAVE to know, y'all…for Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

Two Beers and a Puppy
2026/06/17
As we all get older and our time is more valuable, do we actually know the best way to weed people out of our inner-circles? Well, it's actually pretty easy and It involves two beers and a puppy. Are you ready to put 'em through the test? Then, Scott and Robbie talk about Coors Light's new 18-inch 'Tallerboy' beer can cooler promotion for the FIFA World Cup…why a Pennsylvania neighborhood said "no way Jose" to a permanent Michael Myers mannequin…we continue with our "Summer of Madonna" when we talk about how she released the official music video for "Bring Your Love" this past Monday…fans are slamming 81 year old rock icon Rod Stewart for drinking and whooping it up at a FIFA soccer match hours after cancelling a concert in San Diego the night before...and we have a fun discussion about the surprising 1980's pop hits (that we all know very well) that never placed as high as the Top 40. After that, we discuss Steven Spielberg's new "Disclosure Day" movie (decidedly WITHOUT spoilers, 'cause we don't play that way)…and talk about how Martin Scorsese is getting slammed by the Art Directors' guild for collaborating with AI to take jobs away from human artists and career filmmakers. It's NOT a good look for an iconic American film director, to say the least. All that, and much more pop culture silliness, for Wednesday, June 17.

Jason Voorhees' Least Favorite Friday
2026/06/12
Two episodes in one week?! Yup, it's true. In this Friday BONUS episode, we try to figure out what those people are doing in New York City's sewers at night…question Elmo's allegiance to the Knicks…tell ya what we thought of "Scary Movie 6"…find out why a new movie is being released exclusively on VHS…why an environmentalist drag queen is getting sued by a clothing company…and warn you that AI voice cloning scams are on the rise big time (don't send anybody any money without triple checking if Grandma really is in jail, people). All that and much more. It's a super special bonus episode for Friday, June 12, which is, as you can probably imagine, Jason Voorhees' least favorite kind of Friday.

Lipstick on the Airbag
2026/06/10
Sometimes great plans don't come together as intended, but then something altogether different happens. This week, Scott wrote an inspired 10-story outline, but he and Robbie only got to four of the topics! So, y'all get today's show, then a bonus episode this coming Friday, June 12. Yup, we've got A LOT to say this week. Episode 518 curiously starts with an age-old question: "Is ketchup an appropriate condiment on a hot dog?' before we pop over to Madonna's surprise mini-concert in Times Square (plus, a review her new short movie that dropped this week on YouTube)…ask if people really should put the phone away at concerts and live in the moment (Madonna says YES, as do we, sort of)…ponder why Hollywood isn't making rewatchable and quotable movies in the 21st century…and then, break down our history with Broadway shows including a little bit about Sunday's Tony Awards. It's certainly a myriad, but it's super fun. We promise. And you always believe us…right?   Stream, download, and subscribe to the audio version of the show on most popular podcast distribution apps and sites, such as Spotify, iHeart, Apple Podcasts, Audible, YouTube Music, and Podbean.
