The sun is hot, the speed of light is a fixed constant, and VERSUS is funny. There are certain things in this universe that are immutable laws, which cannot be broken. If you're not a fan of this concept, hey, don't get mad at us, pal! Take it up with God! (The right one, you know which.) On this week's immutable force of nature: the team performs …

Switch that signal and gently caress that third rail, because VERSUS is back on the tracks and chugging into Grand Central Stupid. We can carry as many passengers as you can throw at us AND we've got a bar car. Every car is a bar car. There are no seats. Chaos reigns. On this week's crazy train: the fellas go on a road trip of iMaGiNAtiON, explore …

Well gaba my entire gool because here comes another episode of VERSUS crashing through the gates of the estate and charging for the guest house. It's running. It's jumping. It's dodging security. It's making a damn fool of itself if you ask me, but I was never one to judge too harshly. Fly my little baby podcast. Fly into the arms of the forever...…

Due to recent allegations against the podcast, we find it necessary to take a moment here and use this space to make it clear that the podcast VERSUS and everyone associated therewith DO NOT CONDONE arson of any kind. Even though burning stuff with fire seems like it would be really cool and fun, it is not a forbidden delight that any of us partake…

Did you know that nearly 40,000 Americans died in car crashes in 2020 alone? That's nuts. If you're texting and driving then cut that sh*t out.

Whoever said three is company and four is a crowd must have been a friendless jerk, because the VERSUS gang has yet again been graced by a fourth angelic presence and it wasn't crowded at all!

Once again, the gang from VERSUS rises like the morning sun to cast light upon the dark, cold corners of the planet Earth—bringing warmth, contentment, and the very definition of beauty to the masses simply because they can. How do they achieve such celestial splendor by way of a stupid podcast where three dudes yell at each other? Well, partner, t…

Listen y'all: It's late, I've gotta go to bed, and I'm just plain out of juice. Can we pretend like I wrote something funny for the descriptive copy this week? Can we just envision a world in which I didn't entirely phone it in, and sat down to write something clever and worth your time? That would be super helpful for me. I promise to do better ne…

Awwwww lordy, it's happened again! Like snow tumbling down a mountain, VERSUS is picking up steam, gaining traction, and growing to a size so massive that it will easily destroy the small village at the end of its path. Nobody is safe, because this juggernaut of improvised comedy is about to crash through buildings with no regard for whether said b…

After a big old four-week stretch of the gams, the VERSUS gang is back from summer hiatus to bring you more unscripted comedy that the FDA has proudly labeled the first non-food/non-drug item deemed unfit for human consumption! This week, the sailors find their sea legs once again by disagreeing with one another, getting groovy with astrology, and …

This week, we're gonna try something new. We're pivoting to salads. Starting off with a trio of classic Caesar, a nice watermelon/mint/feta salad for the summer, and one with like roasted squash and arugula or whatever, probably like some pepitas that sounds good. I dunno man, podcasting is hard, we're feeling like salads might be more interesting …

It's the year 2022. A human being sits hunched over a mechanical computer keyboard, feverishly typing. He's trying to keep his right knee extended. He asked too much of it when he rode his bike from Manhattan to Queens to record his podcast last weekend—it's healing fine, but slowly. He sighs deeply. He's not a young man anymore. He feels young of …

Heaven is a house on a lake on a warm day where your only care in the world is looking after the ones you love. Unfortunately, in the real world, lakefront property is extremely expensive and our loved ones all left us because we kept putting "air quotes" around "everything." Thank the Deity for squatters' rights though, amiright? Just a few more m…

You ever wait until the very last second to edit your podcast? Are you ever uploading files and feverishly writing descriptive copy mere hours before a new episode of your podcast is due to release? No? Is this not relatable? My bad! This week's exercise in procrastination is exceedingly special as the inimitable Skulk, the Hulking joins the VERSUS…

Everybody knows the well-known phrase "VERSUS is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get." The first time we heard this was, of course, in the movie Forrest Gump, which begs the question: how did a nearly 30-year-old movie predict not just a podcast that wouldn't release its first episode until 2022, but predict all of podcast…

Shocking! Horrifying! Out-of-this-world! Adjectives! These are all words that have been used to describe VERSUS. Also "kinda gross sometimes" and "couldn't you guys just swear a little less?" Which...are fair. Fair criticisms. On this week's group-therapy session: the gang randomly explores different rungs of the gentry classes, meets a few Mister …

Mares eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy too—wouldn't you? Well, you definitely shouldn't, because that'd almost certainly poison you! What would you do without us? You'd get poisoned! We've got all the answers today. Coming out of the stomach pump this week: the gang gets sartorial (m'lady), receives a mysterio…

A shaft of light breaks through the ceiling and cuts the darkness below. A sturdy cord unravels through the hole and slaps against the floor of the chamber. A handsome archeologist repels down the rope; dust kicks up from the ground as his boots make contact. He kneels down and grasps a nearby relic, brings it into the shaft of light. He wipes mont…

Dearest Listener, It has been ninety-and-one days since we embarked West on our podcasting journey. Mama has grown quiet of late and all Papa does anymore is stare one thousand yards ahead of himself and drive the caravan forward, his knuckles white for gripping the reins. Grandpa has dysentery. It is gross. We used to be a family, but I fear this …

Do you know why they call New York the Greatest City in the World? It certainly isn't because of its highly segregated public education system! It's for two reasons: 1) You can just throw your garbage anywhere you want! and 2) It's where the popular podcast VERSUS is recorded! Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. If you fall for that sort of t…

There comes a time in every person's life where they must ask a question: why? Then they might ask it again: why? The "whys" progress relentlessly until the person who is being questioned is reduced to a simple "I don't know" or perhaps a "That must just be how the gods want it to be." Yes, there comes a time in every person's life when they do thi…

Herding cats. That's what we're doing here, folks. Every week, Game Master Drew is locked in an impossible challenge—to keep John and Malachi on topic long enough so that they can do a fake game show. Sometimes we fail. This is their story...

Slice me off a big piece of that silly pie because VERSUS is back and it's just as dumb as the last time, if not dumber! How do we cram so much dumb into such short, perfectly portioned episodes?

Comfort. Luxury. Yacht. Crystal-blue water. Silver cutlery. Morsels. Engorgement. These are some words that I typed out just now. You too can play along with the fellas from VERSUS in your own home, free-associating and bebopping your way across this particular expanse of space-time. The solar system is literally a spaceship bro. Look it up online.…

The VERSUS gang is back with another saga for your earholes. This episode is bookended with murder so we may pivot to true crime after this. True crime seems like a much more popular genre than improv comedy. Why would we do improv? Why would anybody? It was created as a tool for theater but was co-opted by some of the most annoying people on the p…

This week on VERSUS, the gang confronts a lot of harsh truths about the realities of being a celebrity (we are, after all, experts on this topic). Malachi makes things harder for John than they need to be, the boys find gainful employment at a unique manufacturing facility, and are tortured by the BELLS BELLS BELLS! All of this, and more (but hones…
