August 10, 2022 19:27 - 1 hour - 154 MBWell it's been a minute. And that's because we care. It's called self care and get use to it. You know sometimes things happen in this world.

July 02, 2022 15:48 - 1 hour - 174 MBHey there, sometimes you just gotta get out there and be yourself. Other times, definetly don't do that. It could be dangerous.

Episode 50: Ezra Miller
June 21, 2022 00:10 - 1 hour - 150 MBWe have recently been accused of clout chasing with our episode titles. We argue that we are simply shameless oportunists who love a good easy way to get viewers. Anyways this episode we really dive into what it means to be an artist, the finer points of freedom, what it means to be an American, and why you should think about other spirits in this realm we call modern day earth. Also hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon are the building blocks of life. Here's the thing... those are super com...
Episode 49: Bob Dylan
June 11, 2022 23:59 - 1 hour - 168 MBWe have guitars too! This episode Jayce takes a break from music and lets Connor do the heavy lifting. It's hard work making stuff up all the time. You should follow us on whatever we have on social media. How does one even do that?
Episode 48: Richard Nixon
May 23, 2022 00:25 - 1 hour - 105 MBI would like to apologize for the behavior and attitude that was displayed this episode. It was not right nor fair that these two had air time to discuss this nonsense. I think we should boycott their show and boycott any live performances they partake in. For example, they are performing live on June 21st in Athens, Georgia at the Flicker Bar. It will be around 8pm. So make sure to boycott this. It is important that we don't show up... on June 21st, in Athens, at Flicker Bar, at 8pm. Tickets...

Hard work, perseverance, original thinking, blood of the innocent? Who knows! Also here at Getting Pretentious we are offering to buy Twitter for one more dollar than Elon Musk is offering. That's the game Elon, you play to win and win to play. Or whatever rich people say.

January 25, 2022 16:41 - 1 hour - 104 MBWhere are we and how did we get here? The universe is constantly expanding at a rate that we cannot fathom and we are but specs of dirt on window pain, hardly noticeable and barely perceived. What can we do to live rich and fufilling lives in a space where time is but a blip on a vast canvas of matter and energy? For now, you can listen to this new episode. It'll help you drive to work, mow the lawn, or just forget about how tiny our little lives are in this massive void we call existe...

Episode 38: The Beatles
January 07, 2022 18:19 - 1 hour - 148 MBHey there! We are existing along with you in this reality, if you can believe it! Believing is everything and everything is built on your ability to believe.

December 11, 2021 01:37 - 1 hour - 86.5 MBWe're back and ready for action! What does that even mean? Like who says that? "Ready for action?" What a stupid thing to say. I feel bad for leading with that. I really shouldn't have. You know what, I am sorry. These descriptions don't do the show justice. It's really a shame that they make me write these because they don't make sense. At. All. Okay, you know what? I can read the room. Effectively immediately I, Jayce Hill, am resigning from writing episode descriptions. I need to r...

November 24, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 97 MBTake me out to the ball game. Seriously. Please take me out to a ball game. I want to see a ball game. If you can invite me to a game, I'd go. I really would.

Episode 35: Kim Kardashian

Like cook, clean, go to work, eat a bagel, eat a flan, or even shop at Hot Topic. The choice is yours.
Episode 34: Jason Sudeikis Part 2
November 08, 2021 22:09 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBDear Haters, Stop hating. It's rude to hate. This week we spent an entire 30 seconds talking about Ted Lasso and Jason Sudeikis. We saw that there was a ton of downloads for that episode so we went full clout chasing madness. And now for our desperate attempt to piggy back off his success by trying to manipulate SEO... Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis, Jason Sudeikis. Thank you, Jason Sudeikis

Well that how we hope you feel after powering through this so called episode on this so called podcast. Sometimes life is just a gift and sometimes it isn't. It could go either way. Sometimes I question my ability to write episode descriptions.

LIVE! Getting Pretentious at East Atlanta Strut
September 29, 2021 15:44 - 1 hour - 85.9 MBGet this... a bunch of total idiots decided to watch us record this thing live. I mean first off, I don't know why someone would even watch this when we record it in a studio. Like why? I mean keep doing it, I just mean this type of podcast really isn't my thing you know? Personally, I'm not a fan. Anyway - thanks to all who showed up and ate, drank, and put on sunscreen with us. We love some of you. #EastAtlantaStrut #EAVstrut
Episode 31: Spongebob Squarepants (including Khaled Elchoufi)
September 27, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 138 MBDude it gets super cool and super fun. Don't miss this episode. If you miss it there will be consequences. Including but not limited to: missing out on some laughter, having a slightly more stressful day, making me feel bad, making Connor feel bad and most importantly you will reduce the revenue of the show by 100%. Which was already 0. So way to go now we're poor. Please tell your friends about this show.
Episode 30: Sigourney Weaver
September 20, 2021 13:23 - 59 minutes - 137 MBFor the first time in awhile we don't have a guest. Which was kind of sad but still pretty fun. We talk about things, stuff, and subjects!

Are we space? What are we? What is we? What is what? Find out this episode on... Getting Pretentious!
Episode 29: Novak Djokovic (including Matt Maher pt2)
August 30, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 30.9 MBWe actually don't talk about Novak Djokovic at all. I just hope he listens to this before he gears up to grab the coveted "Calendar Grand Slam". Good luck Novak. In this episode, we try to solve the mystery of "who stole all of Matt Maher's shit". The crime occured in the parking lot of The Local, a bar in Atlanta, Georgia. If anyone has information please don't go to the police. Go directly to our instagram inbox and provide us the details of the potential thief. We will perform our...
Episode 28: Billie Eilish-ish (with Jude Waguespack)

Also you should check out Jude's band Good Luck, Humans, Jayce is in that band too but he's not the guest is he? Anyways SEO is important so comedy, music, improv music, improv comedy, Atlanta, and Jason Sudekeis.

Did you want a list of topics we covered or something? I mean look, you know the drill. If you are wanting to hear a bunch about Evil Knievel go read his Wikipedia page. That's what we pretty much did on the show. Come for the subject stay for the weird conversation that goes nowhere and says nothing. Please don't listen to this podcast w...
