30. Bookstore Boys

November 21, 2019 11:00 - 53 minutes - 62.8 MB

Ben and Judah are on the hunt for a children's book in this episode. They talk about Joel Osteen, childhood memories and lots and lots of books. Come along and crack open your favourite book. WAIT. Don't do that. Just listen to this podcast instead! Thank you for tuning in and our humblest of apologies!

29. Don Cherry

November 14, 2019 11:00 - 59 minutes - 76.7 MB

That's right boomers. It's relevant! Hockey Night In Canada host Don Cherry was fired and Ben and Judah thought they would toss their opinions into the ring. They also talk about other cancelled celebrities as well as Disney+. As if we all needed their opinion. Which we really and truly don't. Bit of a waste of time if you ask me. So thanks I guess. But really, on behalf of me, I'm sorry.

28. What Are The Odds You Poop Your Pants ft. Josh Dale

November 07, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 129 MB

The title is hauntingly fitting. What was going to be a birthday episode for Judah and a Harry Potter movie with friends quickly devolved into a horrible podcast episode. Josh Dale is here to hang with Ben and Judah and things get WEIRD. Thank you for listening. And seriously for real this time, we are actually sorry. 

27. Barely Ghoul Boys ft. Eggscuse Me.

October 24, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 99 MB

The boys have a special guest: Kieran Williams! They take him along to a haunted bar to commemorate Halloween! Is it haunted? Listen and find out! The boys talk about ghosts, Scientology, and definitely absolutely not being gay. Come along for the ride and hear a sneak peak of Kieran's unreleased EP! ( Check out Kieran's Instagram @kieran.williams.900 )

25. Lil Sicky Boys

October 17, 2019 10:00 - 58 minutes - 75.8 MB

*COUGH COUGH* We have a couple of sick boys in this episode. Ben and Judah talk about Ben's ex, a hypothetical dream girl for Ben, and our future! Come along for the ride while Judah and Ben laugh and goof and gaff. *COUGH THANK YOU* *COUGH WE'RE SORRY*

24. Blind Water Taste Test

October 10, 2019 10:00 - 59 minutes - 92.4 MB

It's a real MOIST podcast as the boys stay hydrated trying out different waters and reviewing them. They talk about toothbrushing, fitting in at high school, and "the ideal pee". You're in for a wet one. Come along and see which waters are best and which waters can kick it to the curb! We owe ya one and we also owe you a big fat apology. 

23. The Boys Bump A Long One

October 03, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 132 MB

I just want you to know that it's 2:49AM as I upload this. So you're welcome! Because in this episode Ben and Judah talk about weed and cocaine, bad drivers, getting old, and more! It's a real long classic episode of two boys chatting! Thanks for stopping by and also we're sorry you stopped by.

22. Interviews With Strangers

September 26, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 85.8 MB

"Hey do you wanna be on a podcast?" That's the question Ben and Judah so frequently asked in this episode as they tried to turn strangers into guests. We talk about favourite colours, university and more! It's a good laugh and a good time! Thanks for being on the podcast and thanks for listening! We also would like to formally say that we are sorry.

21. We Have Hemorrhoids

September 19, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 77.6 MB

Your hosts Ben and Judah find themselves in a grocery store recording a podcast. They try to do some EPIC pranks, they pretend to be on the phone, and they also actually go on the phone to call up some guests. And, most importantly, they talk loudly about having hemorrhoids in an attempt to garner reactions from strangers. Join us, won't you? We're indebted to you and equally filled with remorse.

20. Podcast But Inside

September 12, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 77.7 MB

In a direct reference (ripoff) of one of our favourite podcasts, "Podcast But Outside", we named our episode "Podcast But Inside". In it we talk about the podcast, "Podcast But Outside", tapeworms, vaping, and more! It's a really good episode I think. (Lots of silly antics.) We also talk about our Patreon! Really cool! Thanks for tuning in and also I personally apologize. 

19. The Murder Forest

September 05, 2019 12:00 - 56 minutes - 68.9 MB

It's a late night podcast as Ben and Judah explore a forest where an attempted murderer once hid from police capture! Wow! What a blast. They talk about crazy customers, a bunch of birds, and some haunted locations in Canada. Turn your flashlights on and hide under your blankets because this one might get a lil spooky! Thanks for tuning in, also sorry as well.

18. I Think You Should Leave/Dr. Ho

August 29, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 88.6 MB

Ben and Judah talk about tea, police brutality in Paw Patrol, and absurd hypotheticals. We start the episode off watching the hilarious Tim Robinson do his thang on Netflix, and we end the episode strapped into some Dr. Ho Pain Therapy! It's our most edited and hectic podcast yet. Ben has a wee pee in it! We apologize so much and we also thank you equally so.

17. Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

August 22, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 86.8 MB

BOO! Scared ya there! Judah and Ben go to the movies to see Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark! In this first ever, two-part split podcast, the boys chat about funny gang names, living in Star Wars, sneaking snacks into the movie theatre, and their first sponsor! (Sort of.) Come along for the ride! We sure had a blast recording it in the movie parking lot! My condolences in advance, and thanks anyways!

16. The Boys Are Back In Town

August 15, 2019 12:00 - 52 minutes - 64.7 MB

15. The B+B Episode ft. Breanna Hayhoe

August 08, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

Wheres Judah?? Hes jetted off to lounge on a beach for a week and left the Barely Cool Podcast in the capable hands of the better barely cool boy Ben! However a podcast with just one guy is boring, so Ben invited on a special guest whose identity has been hidden up until this point...ITS BREANNA HAYHOE...So please give a warm barely cool welcome to our special guest and enjoy as we make cupcakes, talk about star wars, lord of the rings, the office, AND have a cupcake decorating contest.

9. We Ate A Carolina Reaper ft. Aaron Sirota

June 27, 2019 12:00 - 56 minutes - 68 MB

Today we have a very barely cool guest named Aaron Sirota on the cast and he's brought some sweet heat treat for us to eat. We eat some peanut brittle made with Carolina Reaper peppers dipped in Ghost Chilis and interview our friend. You might know Aaron from such great things as him being Jew-"ish", falling off his bike without a helmet on or even that time he went to Israel! Truly a spicy hot episode for our listeners!

Bachelor parties, Chris Brown and John Wick 3. The boys talk about it all! And they're outside for this one on a lovely Spring day! Wow Springtime sure does remind you of all the wonders of life.

We humbly ask for your apologies and thank you oh so much.

5. Harry Potter and the Barely Cool Podcast

May 30, 2019 12:00 - 2 hours - 175 MB

Welp it's happened. In this podcast we watch one of our favourite movies, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and commentate while it's on. Can you hear it? Sort of! Is it worth it? We hope so! It's two and a half hours of nonsense. Spoilers if you haven't seen Harry Potter yet. But if you haven't you probably weren't going to anyways. Also, sorry and thanks as always!
