December 20, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 91.8 MB

It's Santa time baby, so we're all putting a little bit more DYR in your end-of-year holiday large socks.

Plus, u/myfreeday's kids are high school bullies now, Dog is still the x factor, and itsyerdad exists. Happy holidays from us to yours. May Krampus only st...

200 (!): Dead Internet Theory and the Great DYR Siesta

September 24, 2021 19:24 - 1 hour - 69.3 MB

Well ladies and germs, the day hath cometh. We are officially at our 200th episode, and like any great time-based achievement, we relish in our past while reflecting on our increasingly deflating future. So to celebrate, we go full Ranch Dressing Studios energy and discuss a bunch of semi-related Internet things, eventually landing on a concept we've been thinking a lot about called the Dead Internet Theory, which basically suggests that all of us are constantly manipulated by bots, none of ...

199: r/sims4, and u/myfreeday returns from the land of lasagna

September 07, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 69.9 MB

Finally, u/dogboobes gives us a much-needed introduction to the world of the Sims, by way of r/sims4. Plus, Free Day returns from Italy, so obviously, we racially profile him to mark his return. ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as yelletwin and Dr.Spacheman on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.

198: r/throawaylien - So Tom Delonge was right all along huh?

August 23, 2021 17:47 - 1 hour - 59.6 MB

This week, we discuss a bit of famous Reddit lore - u/throawaylien - who claimed in 2013 that they had a history of credible alien abductions and that July 2021 would be when aliens finally made themselves known. Well, July 2021 came and went, but we did have a lot of alien chatter around that time. So what's the deal? Was this person just doing some clever LARP stuff? Is the government in cahoots with the greys? Was Tom Delonge right all along? We don't really have answers to any of these q...

197: r/blaseball, how sports fandoms work, and why something this confusing is so fun

August 10, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 73.7 MB

Listen, we love splorts on this pod, as you may have noticed by now, and there's no better splort than the galaxy's interdimensional pastime, Blaseball. You may have heard us briefly talk about Blaseball on a recent FPR, totally ignorant to the profound nature of this sport, but after spending a few days fully invested, we decided to spend the full episode trying to break down what it is exactly that we love so much about this bizarre Internet phenomenon. So, this episode we talk about how B...

196: The Bystanders, featuring the creators, and FPR Olympics Edition

August 06, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 101 MB

In today's special episode, we have a lovely conversation with the three women behind the scripted podcast 'The Bystanders', a murder mystery comedy from BLEAV network. Before we talk to Jaclyn Hales, Ash Lendzion, and Heather Morris however we do hit an FPR featuring some of the hits from this year's Olympic Memes on Reddit. ---Check out 'The Bystanders' anywhere you can find podcasts. You absolutely should because it's really good and stars Jane Lynch and Kristen Chenowith. ---Join us, ...

195: Front Page Review - Jeff's Wein Rocket, Reddit Statistics, and improving the rules of baseball

July 26, 2021 19:54 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB

It's time to get back to a nice little Front Page Review. With week 2, back in Ranch Dressing Studios, we decided to take a look back at some of the goods from this past week's front page, starring our sweet baby boy Jeff Bezos, some quite frankly expected NSFW subs, and guest starring Blaseball, some sort of dramatic improvement on the sport of baseball. Friday morning pod energy ladies and germs and theys. ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as crustedpineapple and yelletwin on h...

194: r/howtonotgiveafuck and the return to Ranch Dressing Studios

July 19, 2021 22:21 - 1 hour - 78 MB

It's a big day ladies and germs and theys - we are BACK in Ranch Dressing Studios for the first time in about 2 years, and the show is definitely better, way more candid, and u/itsyerdad did way less editing out of our dumb stuff. Why? Because today we're covering r/howtonotgiveafuck, something we actively try to do on a daily basis, but at least one of us fails to do so. ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as timmypbass and PhilipJFry on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear ...

193: r/freebritney, dad's corporate communist takeover dream, there's a fire in the ocean

July 13, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 82.6 MB

Today we discuss the full timeline of Britney's bizarre pop-cultural fall from grace, conservatorship struggles, and quest to be a just be a good mom. Plus, the r/freebritney subreddit is a great resource for broadly understanding the complex discussions around mental health, volition, and the problems with caring too much about celebrities. ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as CASEY K and PhilipJFry on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.

192: r/structuralengineering, using Reddit to make sense of catastrophe, and The Cosby show is back (ugh)

July 05, 2021 18:35 - 1 hour - 92.9 MB

There's been a lot of wild news over the last week or so. John McAfee, the Internet's favorite weirdo, died in a Spanish prison. Bill Cosby was released from prison on a legal technicality it seems. However, the biggest news is the collapse of an expensive high-rise apartment on Miami Beach that will go down as one of the first great tragedies of our increasingly corrupt and outdated infrastructure system. To help make sense of how this could have happened, and understand some of what Sleepy...

191: r/royalsgossip goes PRIVATE, snark subs, and why do we even care about these people anyway?

June 28, 2021 20:49 - 1 hour - 85.1 MB

Well we WERE going to talk about r/royalsgossip, but in a hilarious twist of fate, the sub went private in short time period between when we decided to talk about it, and when we actually recorded. So in this episode, we speculate on why the sub might have gone private, why snark corners of the internet (and the grocery store isle) are so captivating, and why in queen's name do we even care about the royal family in the first place? ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as YelleTwin a...

190: r/zillowgonewild, Joe Francis Mob Mouth Stretches, and carpeted bathrooms with carpeted ceilings

June 11, 2021 15:24 - 1 hour - 84.9 MB

Everyone's talking about how bad the housing market is right now, but no one's talking about how good it actually is if you're looking for a mixed-theme Disney princess mansion in Ohio or a hand-carved wooden BDSM basement in Pennsylvania. And because of this, we're discussing r/zillowgonewild, one of Reddit's greatest resources for interior decoration inspiration, if your idea of high design is fake shadow cutouts of cowboys and coca-cola signs. Plus, we talk Joe Francis, mob stuff, and cof...

189: Front Page Review, AMTRAK's YOLO spirit, Meteors, and everyone's cancelled

June 04, 2021 21:22 - 1 hour - 84.7 MB

Back by popular demand, and also because u/itsyerdad was eating bad airline food on an Amtrak all last week, this episode we decided to do a full-length Front Page Review. We know you guys love it when we talk about Reddit's up-to-the-minute (or two days later) news stories, like meteorites, John Cuck Cena's mastery of mandarin, and cancel culture stuff, so we thought it'd be best to dig in. ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as YelleTwin and ShiaLaDouche on https://www.twitch.tv/...

188: r/investing (kind of) with teen author and investor Jack Rosenthal

May 24, 2021 19:16 - 1 hour - 93.3 MB

So a guy named Jack emailed us last week and said that he was 19 and wrote books about investing. We're suckers for a good pitch, and as is well documented, we think (know) teens are smarter than us, so we took the bait and invited young Jack to join us and discuss a few of his tactics for convincing fellow teens to get into investing. We kind of talked about r/investing, but it's a douzy, so we're going to revisit this one again later. Plus, Harry is an illegitimate son of a horse instructo...

187: r/creepypasta classics - the tip of the iceberg

May 17, 2021 18:51 - 1 hour - 99.3 MB

Today, we decide to start what will surely be a long ongoing series of r/creepypasta readings. r/creepypasta is less the beginning of the Internet's own urban legend continuum, and more a celebration of the characters and stories at its core. It's hard to say if creepypastas will ever really see another Slenderman or Jeff the Killer-level superstar, with the whole world stuck in a proverbial urban legend it seems, but that's not to say the impact of these stories, and the ones that come afte...

186: r/nobodyasked, badly predicting the future of roadside food, and 4 years stranded on a boat...

May 10, 2021 18:20 - 1 hour - 89.4 MB

r/nobodyasked is the very popular repository of basic social interactions online where someone just shared a little much information. Maybe they're a little too eager to talk about how much SEX they just had. Or maybe they're quick to remind you, unprovoked, that they're just not that into you. Either way, there wasn't a clearly appropriate time for them to announce this deeply personal fact to you, but they found a way regardless. Plus, we riff on the future of roadside food vendors, and di...

185: r/decidingtobebetter with Monica Livingston, and online Danish shopping addiction with u/dogboobes

May 04, 2021 17:52 - 1 hour - 93.8 MB

In this episode, we speak with CHARISMA queen, Hall of Fame running back, and life coach Monica Livingston about some of her tips and tricks for how to make your life better. We loosely focus the conversation on the very popular subreddit r/decidingtobebetter, which is where people share their stories of triumphs over their own distractions. This one is all positivity folks. Plus, u/dogboobes almost buys Danish luxury furniture. ---Join us, DYR Fandom all-stars such as Blaustein and Dr. Sp...

184: r/stopdrinking w/ Travis Morningstar, producer of Last Podcast (and Stream) on the Left

April 26, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 99.1 MB

Travis Morningstar joins DYR to discuss his experience using r/stopdrinking to get over his personal challenges with alcohol. Aside from discussing the very real value of the group-help communities on Reddit, we also relive the moment Travis decided to quit booze, and the reason he refuses to go fishing with strangers. Quite frankly, it's a pretty good reason. Plus, u/dogboobes tells us about her latest and quite frankly greatest trial and figulation, and our Twitch stream chat gets complete...

183: r/InternetIsBeautiful and meat libertarianism with Steak-umm and Meatball Hoagies

April 19, 2021 18:07 - 1 hour - 87.1 MB

The Internet is a beautiful, horrible, traumatizing, loling place, and r/internetisbeautiful is a great resource for finding all the best that the Internet has to offer without the rotten dot com-ness of the other parts. Plus, we discuss the Neil Degrasse Tyson vs. Steak-umm Twitter "beef" (ugh) at depth, in conjunction with a lengthy chat about the 'Don't Tread On Me' libertarian attitude of meatball hoagies. Riveting stuff everyone. ---Join us, and DYR podsquad all-stars such as PhilipJF...

182: r/SimpsonsDidIt w/ Mike Reiss, Simpsons Writer and Executive Producer

April 09, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 82 MB

The Simpsons is undeniably one of the most important influential TV shows and entertainment properties...ever. On this episode we're joined by Mike Reiss, one of the shows original creators, writers, and executive producers, to discuss r/SimpsonsDidIt, a document of the prophetic Simpsons writing. But honestly, we just kind of talk about the Simpsons in general, Weird Al, and Mike's new podcast 'What Am I Doing Here?' about his bizarre travel experiences to places no one really want...

181: April Fools 2021 on Reddit and Beyond

April 03, 2021 23:20 - 1 hour - 83.6 MB

April Fools is basically the unofficially holiday of Reddit, both because of the jokes and gaffs on many of the biggest subreddits, but also because every year Reddit does a sort of social experiment to engage the entire community in a massive game. So because we recorded this episode at 7:30 in the morning on 4/1, we briefly discuss the first wave of Reddit (and not Reddit) April Fools jokes, and speculate on what Reddit's social experiment might be this year. ---Join us, and DYR Fandom al...

180: r/outoftheloop on the Cinnamon Toast Shrimp Event, and Reddit's Recent Hiring Controversy

March 29, 2021 17:56 - 1 hour - 80.1 MB

This past week has been peak Internet, so we wanted to talk a bit about two of the biggest stories to dominate the underground fiber-optic cable network (I couldn't think of another word for INTERNET). First, we discuss the recent controversy surrounding the hire of a mod from UKPolitics, which caused a bunch of subreddits to go private in protest. It was and continues to be a complicated story. Then, we discuss the HOTTEST news of 2021, the great Cinnamon Toast Shrimp incident, and the fall...

179: r/askredditafterdark, an unexpectedly sex positive mecca of Reddit

March 23, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 69.7 MB

r/askredditafterdark is a truly, undeniably NSFW subreddit. However while we thought we were going to be dancing with the narcs over at Twitch throughout the course of our livestream, we quickly discovered that r/askredditafterdark is actually an extremely positive and honest force of open dialogue about sexual health. We still talk about butt stuff, but in the way that we wish the rest of the world did too, thanks to u/buttstufflover69 (probably). ---Join us, and DYR Fandom all-stars such ...

178: Random Roulette #1, muscle girl drawings, Jessica Rabbit, and the joy of pet rats

March 16, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 79.4 MB

In the first of what will probably be many editions, we spend the entire episode smashing that random button and testing our fate with whatever our sweet Reddit lord decides to give us. Plus, a nice discussion about building PCs and F*ck, Marry, Kill with cartoon babes. ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.--- ---Check the official DYR subreddit for the latest hot goss from the community. https://www.reddit.com/r/didyoureddit/--- ---Follow https://ww...

March 09, 2021 18:57 - 1 hour - 77.1 MB

There is hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of subreddits and r/wowthissubexists is there to document the weirdest ones. In this episode, we casually explore some of our recent favorites, some of which we can't technically open without getting kicked off our stream. Buncha corporate prudes. ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.--- ---Check the official DYR subreddit for the latest hot goss from the community. https://www.reddit.com/r/didyoureddi...

176: r/letstalkmusic with Kevin Weisman, actor and host of the 'Did We Do It?' podcast

March 03, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

As has been well documented on the podcast, u/myfreeday and u/dogboobes don't listen to music. We think it's music anhedonia, but maybe they just need a famous actor to tell them otherwise right? That usually solves the problem, so we attacked it headfirst with our new friend Kevin Weisman of Alias and a bunch of other great things, including the 'Did We Do It?' podcast, which he hosts with Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. So, with Kyle's help, we discuss some of the hot posts on r/letstalkmusic, t...

175: r/heck, wake & bake u/dogboobes energy, and a trip down r/cocofleshlight memory lane

February 23, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 68.5 MB

There's heaven, there's hell, and then there's this place somewhere a few floors up from hell called HECK, where all your worst annoyances are constant, and golf has goalies. In this episode, we look at the r/heck subreddit, where users post their own examples of what r/heck would be like. Plus, u/dogboobes expresses elite morning energy, we casually revisit our beloved r/cocofleshlights, and Kidz Bop sings WAP. ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.--...

174: r/starterpacks with @campgoodboy, fine purveyors of the starter pack craft

February 17, 2021 16:52 - 1 hour - 68.3 MB

Starter packs are one of the cornerstones formats of the meme universe because of their simplicity and ability to pack a brutal characterization in a small space. This week, we are joined by @campgoodboy, hosts of the Camp Goodboy podcast and prolific creators of both action films and starter packs, to break down some of our favorite starter packs, their process, and malls from the 90s. ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.--- ---Check the official D...

173: r/the10thdentist, cereal with orange juice, and a brief WSB update

February 06, 2021 01:00 - 1 hour - 76.5 MB

After covering what can only be described as the most Kathy and Hoda moment in Reddit history, DYR gets back to its roots to discuss extremely gross anomalies of the human condition by way of r/the10thdentist, a sub that asks the question - Who exactly is the 10th dentist that disagrees about the toothpaste, and what other weird stuff does that 10th dentist seem to do, think, and eat? ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live.--- ---Check the official DYR...

172: r/wallstreetbets, GME Diamond Hands, and Reddit's Greatest Hour

January 29, 2021 18:32 - 1 hour - 75.7 MB

Brothers...sisters...HOLLLLLLLLDDDDD. By now, you've probably been asked by your aunt what a "Reddit" is and why it destroyed the stock market. Last week was probably the most important moment in Reddit history, if not Internet history, though only time will tell, and it's all thanks to a bunch of market nihilists and a company whose whole model is buying old video games from teenagers at 5 bucks a pop. HOLD DIAMOND HANDS, WE'RE GOING TO THE MOOOOOOOON. ---Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/...

171: r/LeopardsAteMyFace and the great Bernie Meme of 2021

January 26, 2021 19:53 - 1 hour - 63.9 MB

The Internet doesn't forget guys, and neither do the vindictive lurkers who document it. r/leopardsatemyface is all about basking in the schadenfreude of people whose vocal opinions backfired in catastrophic ways. It's mean-spirited, but typically mean-spirited towards mean-spirited people, so that that kind of cancels it out right? Plus, u/dogboobes wears makeup to impress construction works evidently outside her window for the entire podcast, and Bernie makes a meme. Catch us on https://w...

170: r/conspiracy #3, Armie Hammer, And the Insurrection Aftermath

January 19, 2021 18:00 - 1 hour - 79.8 MB

To absolutely nobody's surprise, r/conspiracy has been ablaze over the past few weeks of American turmoil. So, we revisit our collective favorite sub to dig into a bit of where all the free-thinking ant-globalists predict all this weirdness is going. Needless to say, straight to the reptilian fascists.

169: r/antiwork Pt. 2, the 2021 Taft portrait theft insurrection, and memes about Vikings

January 11, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 68.8 MB

In Pt. 2 of our look into the r/antiwork community, we further our discussion by getting a little deeper on the texts that the sub considers its core curriculum. But since it's the first week of 2021, we also get completely enthralled by the week's bizarro insurrection, some of the memed aftermath, and most importantly, where the two topics come together in our silent war against overworking pointless jobs. Catch us on https://www.twitch.tv/didyoureddit to hear (and see) us live. Check th...

168: r/antiwork Pt. 1, work in a world where we can't stop working

January 04, 2021 21:47 - 1 hour - 80.6 MB

This pandemic has done a lot of strange things to our relationship with most parts of everyday life, but it's our relationship with "work" that could end up being one of the most detrimental. In the first of our two-part series on the philosophical subreddit r/antiwork, we look into a centuries-old conversation about why exactly we work in the first place, and what purpose it serves us in a world where many people are now sleeping in the same room as their office. This subreddit is a very in...

December 23, 2020 01:09 - 1 hour - 72.2 MB

With the PS5's outrageous demand, and such little supply, we're entering a whole new era of scalping. Thankfully a whole new era of scalper retribution is coming with it, by way of Reddit. In this episode, we discuss the new(ish) subreddit r/scamthescalpers, which profiles new and fun ways to scam new console scalpers, which also introduces some interesting narratives around why scalpers happen in the first place, and what empath we should lend their way during a Covid-ravaged economy.

166: r/respectthreads and the birds & the bees with R-rated Sims expansion packs from u/dogboobes

December 16, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 69 MB

We've all spent countless hours debating who would win in a fight between two entities that probably will never actually fight each other despite our collective attempt to will it into existence. It's fun, silly, and if you're lucky, will generate a real fight between two people who were apparently just one argument about the Easter Bunny and Captain Crunch away from violent blows. Well, if you want more artillery next time you need to outwit someone with your raw knowledge of Ronald McDonal...

165: r/malelivingspace, the great whale explosion of 1970, and the Patrick Bateman lifestyle

December 09, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 71.9 MB

Are you even a young male professional if you don't have an Eames chair, artisan cocktail bar, and uncomfortable Ikea sectional? r/malelivingspace thinks not. Less cynically, it's a sub dedicated to men making the steps they need to start feeling organized, independent, and enthusiastic about their solo (often) living quarters. It's a great resource for young men looking for tips and tricks on how to feel more organized in a new city, where the rest of their world may feel disorganized. It's...

164: r/AskDocs Pt. 2 - The one where we read the sad story about dying

December 03, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 77.7 MB

In pt.2 of our two part series on r/AskDocs, we read the story that brought us to the sub in the first place, a truly beautiful but painful story of death, redemption, and hospice care. This is an emotional episode, but it's an important one, and truly one of the most beautiful and profound things we've ever seen on Reddit.

162: r/AskDocs Pt. 1, Ben Affleck's Back Tat Stock On the Rise, and Sims Social Media Accounts

November 24, 2020 06:36 - 1 hour - 86.6 MB

It's not new information that America is in the middle of a serious medical crisis right now, and when it comes to consulting your GP about personal physical anomalies, it's quite frankly difficult to get their time and attention. We all know that WebMD is an absolute nightmare of paranoia, and searching "I have a cough, what does that mean?" in Google will inevitably lead to the conclusion that you have a brain tumor with 3 days to live, so we think that r/AskDocs may be the best s...

162: r/humanwatch, haunted house innovations, and we've officially joined a network

November 17, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 93.1 MB

I know there's a lot of division in the world right now. But if there's one thing we can all agree on as a society, it's that aliens live amongst us and are constantly monitoring human behavior to build alien spreadsheets for their alien bosses. This is why r/humanwatch exists, to speculate on the kinds of conversations that aliens may be having about their human test subjects (all of humanity actually). However, we don't think sub is nearly as good as it should be, so we take some liberties...

161: r/darthjarjar, Bernie Sanders as Colonel Sanders, and legalish meth in Oregon

November 07, 2020 17:52 - 1 hour - 87.3 MB

Well, the election happened. It turns out that America isn't as much as an aging bald eagle carcass as one may often think. Why? Because you can now get a parking ticket for meth possession in Oregon! But that's not what this episode is about. It's technically about politics, but Palpatinian politics, by way of Star Wars's most prolific narc, Jar Jar Binks. In a particular Reddit theory from almost five years ago now, Jar Jar isn't the dumb idiot that people think he is, but rather, a skille...
