Goes straight to the publisher. podnod takes nothing.
Did ya miss us? Did ya think we ditched the ol podcast? Did ya think Jess may have watched one too many true crime docs and disappeared Brad? Well you can't get rid of us that easily! We are back for a catch up and yes, some explaining to do. Grab yourself a drink, sit back and enjoy!
In today’s episode, we pull a page straight out of Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld’s book and do a show about absolutely nothing. But hey, at least we get to catch up with you guys! And as an added bonus… once you’re up to speed on the shenanigans that are the days of our lives, it seems Jessica has yet to conquer her a$$h*le, and boy are y’all on for a doozy. But ya gotta wait until the credits roll to get inside of her mind that says “Hell no” to all logic eje it comes to her digestive tract. We laughed, we cried, and yes, we are still fu€*ing awesome. So tune in, ya gluttons! Let’s ride!
In today’s episode, we sit down with an incredible and inspiring human being: The Emmy Award-Winning Video Producer/Filmmaker, Budro Partida. Fresh off of a press and screening tour of his soon to be released documentary on Austin’s infamous Back Room, Partida shares his inspiration to make ‘Bloody & Bruised: The untold story of The Back Room’ and what it was like reliving those days while interviewing some legendary participants in this bygone era. Founder of Penny Rock Productions, Partida has a long list of killer projects and he gives us a sneak peek at what’s to come. So get ready to wish you were back in the 90s having ten cent shots while watching Motörhead perform on stage - the Time Machine is now leaving the station. Let’s Go!
In today’s episode, we have on our finest, fanciest clothes as we sip from our teacups - pinkies out. For we are in the presence of royalty: none other than Mark and J’Net Prattz (spelling?), former owners of the late, great, one and only, Liberty Lunch. We were honored with 2-1/2 hours of their time as we went back in time and rekindled some dear memories from our generation and beyond. This is one you simply cannot miss, so get in, pop in your favorite cassette, and let’s get hyped up as we travel back in time to a place that helped shape our very lives.

To celebrate one full year of oversharing on the internet, we did what any emotionally unstable podcast duo would do: handed the mic to someone funnier and ate pain-level chicken wings. Local comedian and chaos conductor Chris Hills guest-hosts this very sweaty episode as we attempt the Hot Ones Challenge—and by “challenge,” we mean “unhinged descent into mouthfire, regret, and revelations. We have no idea how Sean Evans does this. Come for the near-death spice levels. Stay for the stories, screaming, and some very unexpected facts about Brad and Jess. 🎉 Thank you for one year of laughs, listeners, and lactose.

Bodies in the lake. Rumors in the air. And two podcasters with no investigative credentials whatsoever. This week on Latchless, we’re diving into Austin’s murder lore and the mystery of the so-called “Rainy Street Ripper.” Is it a serial killer? A cursed sidewalk? Or just what happens when you mix tequila, tech bros, and late-stage capitalism? Come for the theories, stay for the chaos—and if we disappear after this… check the river. And Brad’s search history.

In today’s episode, we get caught up with all things Jess and Brad. From our recent foray into the world of high fashion, to celebrating Mothers Day, it’s a can’t-miss scorcher. Brad seems to be struggling a bit as he adjusts to his new status as a multi-faceted entrepreneur. It’s a first-world problem, and we feel so, so sorry for him (insert heavy sarcasm here). We try our best to stay awake as he walks us through his “problems”. But relief soon comes when our kick ass hype man servant Doug takes over Jessica’s mic for a bit and gives us all a heaping helping of sh*t talking mixed with pure love. So saddle up, you gluttons for punishment - your weekly lashings are overdue! Let’s go!!

In today’s episode, we reunite with our dear friend Laura, and we relearn so much of our past as some of those memories have become a bit fuzzy through the haze of the booze and other extra-curricular chemicals. Laura has lived ten lives so far, and she is about to embark on yet another exciting adventure in the world of fashion design. She can drive a semi truck, give you the lowdown on the law, design your clothes, and kick your ass - all at the same time. She’s a force of nature and we couldn’t love her more. So hop on board as we take the last train into crazy town to take our rightful seats at the throne. All aboard!

In today’s episode, we give it all to our best stage performance of getting older and comparing our ailments. Oh… wait, we aren’t acting - it’s real. We’re falling apart at the seams but we still look amazing while doing so. We bet our kidney stones and viral infections are better than yours - just try us! Our defiant bodies aside, we get deep into all things SXSW. From what it was to present day and beyond, we ponder aloud just what this coveted festival may become in the coming years.

In today’s episode, we’ve become a bit verklempt during our deep dive into a show that continues to define one generation after another - Saturday Night Live. We’re not just talking about our favorite skits and actors, we’re talking about the music. In our opinion, GenX has witnessed the most pivotal, controversial, and purely magical musical moments of the shows 50 year reign and we’re going to relive them. So plop down on the couch with a bowl of Colon Blow and a tall boy of Schmidt’s Gay - we’re going back in time. Let’s go, ya bunch of cork soakers!

In today’s episode, we get caught up on all things Jessica and Brad. From what we’ve been up to (yes, we know it’s been a minute), to our bright, innocent eyes looking forward to the NFL’s very first three-peat by our beloved Chiefs (be gentle, we’re still mourning, dressed in black), the shenanigans are back on track. For those of you wondering just where the hell we’ve been, let’s just say we got some awful Xmas presents in the form of a violent and relentless illness. ‘Twas NOT the season.

Come along as Gibbs walks us through his humble beginnings that laid the groundwork for his meteoric rise in the entertainment industry. Also, if you listen closely, you’ll hear jingle bells as Santa was merely days away from destroying our rooftops just to put lumps of coal into our stockings.

Get ready for a scenic tour through dating in your 50s and - gentlemen - take some notes because the d*ck pics have run their course.

In today’s episode, we’re talking sh*t - 1800s style. As you’ll soon see, the 19th century was the golden age of slang and talking smack. Hell, even the fart catchers joined in the fun! Buckle up as we take you on a carriage ride through America’s age of adolescence, where innocence was lost and the insults were abundantly eloquent. We’ll stop the ride in the modern age as we examine whatever the hell these kids call slang today. Maddox, our panel expert on dumb ass kids, walks us down that windy and confusing road.

That’s right, you’re going to hear the news we want you to hear and NONE of it will be about politics. Keep scrolling along with all the other doomsayers for that mess.

In today’s episode, we’ve teamed up with Scooby and Shaggy as we saddle up in the Mystery Mobile - complete with a flux capacitor - and head to the heart of Austin, TX, circa 1885. We’re on the hunt for the world’s very first serial killer - The Servant Girl Annihilator. It appears that the city’s residents of the time got this guy confused with Santa Claus, though… instead of leaving out cookies and milk, they opted for the family axe and a sandbag or two. Seems like door locks weren’t all the rage back then either. If you’ve ever wondered what all of those seemingly odd towers around Central Austin were for, tune in and get your history on!

In today’s episode, we’re not dicking around. We cut right to the chase as we embark on a (literally) sobering tour of Texas’ spookiest spots on the map - and Brad isn’t having it. Not only is he shaking with fright in the corner, he’s butchering the sh*t out of the stories. He can write, folks, but he needs a crash course in 3rd grade level reading. Jessica is in her element, though, and decides it would be fun to sick one of her creepy haunted dolls on Brad. We’re pretty sure he cried in the car on the way home. So whether you’re into spooky season or not, you don’t wanna miss this one. Let’s go!!
