Deep in an underground bunker, protected from all forms of fact-checking and rhetorical accountability, Henry and John tackle the definition of life for about five minutes before discarding it and instead discuss the week’s hottest topics. They discuss and show you politics and plagiarism in your daily lives. That is a lesson that they continue to pass along to their son: Ghostbusters. And they need to pass those lessons on to the many generations of Julia Louis-Dreyfuses to follow. Because they want their Julias in this nation to know that the only limit to their achievements is the strength of their dreams and their willingness to be a deaf woman trapped in a house.

Zero Credit(s) returns from a mountain to discuss the most important mobile phone app that has ever or will ever exist: Zero Credit(s) Go, the game where you walk around things. Catch topics like white water rafting, the beauty of Colorado, and, of course, Pokemon. Then it all turns into a pinata filled with bees as John whips out his tyrannical piece of paper. Introducing Epiphitize Me Cap’N, a segment in which John has realized. . .something, while Henry tires his hardest to derail everything out of sheer fear of the unknown. We also see a return of Fire the Literary Canon, in which everyone who has ever existed puts Moby Dick on notice. Your move, Melville. Come. Watch. Walk. Catch. It’s time to duel, Digifriends–this is Zero effin’ Credit(s).

Welcome listeners, philosophers, and Russian computers to this episode of Zero Credit(s)! You braved the swamp of inexplicable depression and have found yourself thrust into the sunlight of mild contentment. This light falls on a land of Tetrilogies, intertextuality, and coding. As we all cope with life in a post-Schultz world, we comfort ourselves with some snappy walk-and-talk dialogue about the ease of getting into coding before we descend into a cool bath of What Did You Watch fluid. Dory just wants to tell the news, and the news is that she is delightful. Rounding out the episode is some good old Questions from You with Statements from Us, during which we divulge our most closely guarded secrets. This one’s a good’un folks. Strap in. Hold on. Get ready. Stay frosty. Okay Google, take me to podcast.

A sad cloud moves into the Zero Credit(s) house and refuses to leave Henry or John alone, so buckle up for an anti-rousing diatribe against depressing business practices and job hunting woes. But first, let us learn of the somewhat confusing and totally not made up legend of Ralph McGinnis, who ventured forth to return a bag of marbles at a party and ended up defeating the devil by accident in a desert looking for treasure. It’s a grand ole time, complete with our first ever fan-art celebration corner, so come on down to the SadShack and enjoy the special of the day: PityPartyPatties.

Not all is as it seems in the Pacific Northeastern town of Zero Credit(s). When is it too late to “get into” something? What does it mean to “be into” something? Well, you’re into this podcast and we’re into talking about our lives, the nature of offense, and hotdog throwing. Join us this week as we discuss hollow-eyed EMTs, John Goodman, the state of Tom Sizemore, and the robots that may or may not be taking our fictional superhero jobs. BRX FDQQRW WUXVW KHQUB.

Oh wow, listeners. It’s been 20 episodes already and to celebrate, we invited a special guest into the Zero Credit(s) home to join our close-knit family of love and respect. She then broke our chair, for like, no reason. Come listen to conversations about the secret classist discrimination of furniture, America’s inept and costly prison system, as well as bugs. Also, Maddi really wants pandas to die. It all culminates in our shortest but most earnest “Questions from You with Statements from Us” before Maddi decides to continue her reign of destruction elsewhere. Can the Zero Credit(s) boys band together to stop her ceaseless and wanton carnage?

After a night of fun and friends, those ZC boys head into the recording studio to knock out a drowsy episode of that time honored podcast you love and know all too well. Here they discuss the finer things of parentheses, world building, and the nuances that go into preparing for a show while on air. Better Call some Nice Guys, cause you’ll need them to get through the cloudy haze of discourse that is this week’s What Did You Watch? Then, some fan mail! And it’s all wrapped when our lovable hosts light themselves on fire and hit the submit button, forever cementing this episode in the annals of “Things That Happened.”

It’s a doozy this week, folks as we start a journey into the inner-geek/philosophers of those no-good Zero Credit(s) boys. What begins as a minor discussion of the finer nuances of holding a door open for another person devolves quickly into a brief millennial bashing before we skip off to the merry fields of glory and storytelling that is Dungeons and Dragons. *Commercial Break* Then join hands and jump right off the Cliff of Reason as we fall headlong into the wondrous cavern of What is art? What is art, listener? What is it. Tell us. We’re dying to know. We’d kill to find out. Murder.
