Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are joined by Molly Regan to discuss the film Yesterday, which they all arbitrarily agreed to watch on last week’s show since it is streaming on HBO Now and they all have time.
So join the three of them as they dive deep into this unimaginative world where some guy gets hit by a bus and becomes the Beatles and Cocoa-Cola and cigarettes don’t exist for some reason. Also, stick around until the end of the show to hear a hilarious discussion about lemon parties.
Since the last time Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle recorded a show together, daily life has descended into chaos. They try to make sense of this new COVID-19 quarantine world on this week’s show.
They take a look at the state of wrestling (which is somehow still producing new shows), share what they’ve been binging and out each other’s HBO GO guilty pleasures (which include Hobbes and Shaw and Detective Pikachu.) Also, in these dark times, Joel turned to Fred Stoller.
The tragedy of Better Call Saul is that we know going in that our protagonist’s fate is sealed. As much as we may empathize with and root for Jimmy McGill, we know that he is destined to end up being the Saul Goodman we watched in Breaking Bad (and eventually, the Gene Takavic we see glimpses of in Better Call Saul).
But perhaps, if things had gone a different way, Jimmy could have turned out like Bill Oakley, the trans fat loving, “petty with a prior” spouting deputy district attorney that serves as a foil for McGill on BCS.
We explore this alternate universe Jimmy with Peter Diseth, the actor who plays Oakley. We also discuss how he landed the role (which included an awkward bathroom encounter with Bob Odenkirk), what it’s like being a day player on TV shows and how hard it is to eat food take after take in a scene.
This week’s music:
Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
Interstitial – “Vishnu Meets Funk,” “Give It (All Night Long” and “Ancient Ritual” by Lucas Perný & Miloslav Kollar
This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle check in on the latest with two iconic rap groups – Public Enemy and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Public Enemy is being torn apart over a dispute involving a Bernie Sanders rally and a trademark infringement lawsuit and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is being “torn apart” by boneless chicken wings.
They also remember the late, great James Lipton from Inside the Actors’ Studio.

They talk about the process of making the film, how the first day on set almost broke him and the stress dreams Tony has been having leading up to the film’s release.
This week, Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle share their thoughts on the 92nd annual Academy Awards, which were held this past Sunday. After voicing their disappointment over underwhelming slate of nominees on a recent show (including snubs for things like The Farewell, Knives Out, Midsommar, female directors in general and all of the actors in Parasite), they were pleasantly surprised to discover the Academy was shamed into actually picking the best nominees this year. Joel also shares his thoughts on all nine Best Picture nominees, which he and Molly recently finished watching.

Often the best segments on Hobo Radio are those unplanned moments when Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle stumble onto a bizarre, unexplored topic and dive headfirst into it. This week, that happens again when an anecdote by Lars sends them down a rabbit hole that leads to a lengthy examination of Billy Gunn’s early 2000s theme song “Ass Man.”
They also discuss the ridiculous notion that Birds of Prey is doomed to fail because, according to Internet trolls, the women in it don’t look hot.

This year’s Academy Award nominations are out and they are once again so white and so baffling. In a surprise move, Joker receives the most nominations of any film and it joins Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, JoJo Rabbit, Little Women, Marriage Story, 1917, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood and Parasite on the list of Best Picture nominees.
Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle share their thoughts on all of the nominations. They also discuss Hollywood’s love of remakes and the new Birds of Prey trailer.
It’s may be a new year, but things haven’t changed all that much. The Golden Globes still continue to be a ridiculous awards show and this year’s host, Ricky Gervais, continues to pride himself on “taking the piss” out of the celebrities in the room; who he wants so desperately to love him.
Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle share their thoughts on the Golden Globes and Gervais’ “edgy” jokes. They also discuss Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the Royal Family and the show Wings.
