Yosemite! Tahoe! Burritos! The Brothers Raskin are reunited and it feels so good. Brother Patrick takes the reins (again) and hosts another banger of a show. You’ll love his wit and observations, especially if you hate California. Brother Ben shares an update on his knee recovery and makes the parallel between wearing a wound vac and being a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. Don’t tell housekeeping. Ben also discusses The Last of Us. SPOILER: He gives away no spoilers. The fellows round out the show talking about the Golden State. Patrick has some very, very, very specific thoughts about California. Ben thinks its cool because he only visits once a year. Be on the lookout for Dutch Bros. coffeehouses and gentrifications. Plus, Ben shares his love of Olive Garden and why you still need Mom and Pop shops. Help out kids in need. Donate to the Beacon Heights Elementary School fundraiser.

Eleventh Hour Sandbag
Colorado! State! University! Welcome to the Brothers Raskin. Brother Ben is flying solo; Brother Patrick is on assignment. It’s been a hell of week and it all came crashing down on Ben.

He goes into details about his knee and the complications that came from the surgery. In addition, he shares stories about the program and having friends in places like New Caledonia. It’s light on Patrick but still heavy with mirth. Help out kids in need. Donate to the Beacon Heights Elementary School fundraiser. All monies go to help kids who need food.

Chicken Fried Jockey
Wag! The! Dog! Brother Patrick is taking the long mic on the Brothers Raskin. Host with the most, Patrick brings a raucous, brash, and exciting energy to the MC role and we’re all better for it. Brother Ben takes short mic and that means he’s in the hot seat for most of the show. Ben does a health update, talks about the bachelor life, and breaks down Robert De Niro’s illustrious career. BONUS: Patrick saw The Minecraft Movie and explains what a Chicken Jockey is. Well, sorta. The Brothers politely ask for a rating, review, and recommendation. Be a mensch and tell a friend. Plus, the Brothers Raskin could use some help raising money for kids in need.

Courtyard Mimosa
Les! Herb! Larry! The Brothers Raskin get feisty. That’s right (or rather left) when Brothers Patrick and Ben decide to dip a toe than a foot followed by a leg and then the whole damn enchilada into the political pool. It’s a broad conversation ranging from levels of Trump sucking to the importance of keeping Sean Duffy honest and why it’s good Sanders took his anti-billionaire message to the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City. There’s a lot of talk about toxic masculinity and how podcasts have shaped our political environment. Ben shares why he doesn’t listen to certain shows anymore and how we can do better entertaining and informing folks through free pods. Patrick has a major announcement and challenges the listeners to look back 50 years for inspiration. It’s a tough back and forth. The kind of show only brothers can do.

Leading man good looks playing supporting roles—that’s Brother Patrick—talks about his spirit animal and gets into Thunderheart. Brother Ben talks a little 401K financial planning, Colorado State grad school, and why he will be the new face of Burger King by the end of the year. The boys finish the show relitigating the 1994 MTV Awards and why some westerns aren’t as good as others.
