Barely Cool

Hi, we're Ben Routley and Judah Middel. This podcast is just us talking about anything, anywhere. We're usually not planned and we're usually pretty dumb. But we're just a couple'a goofballs having fun.

It's time to get scared! Judah is away on (another) cruise, so Ben is all alone for this one. He plays Outlast 2 which is super duper scary! It might not be as funny as some other video game streamers but word on the street is Ben has got that new dad who is having trouble adjusting and gaining weight vibe going, and I mean who doesn't love that! Haha. Thanks for listening and watching.

Ben and Judah are sitting in a house with a ton of radiation buzz. Whose house is it? Ben's of course! Get a geiger counter out to test the radiation levels of your house today! The rest of the episode is the usual stupid yammering that you've come to expect. But that's probably because of the spare uranium hanging around.

Judah is putting on his thinking cap. Or should I say BALD cap. Cause Northernlion is bald. He's everyone's favourite bald streamer. And Judah's favourite of course. So now Judah is back with the DLES, they call them that even though they're anything but.

Judah is being put to the parenting test! The test made by New Dad Ben that is. 14 questions to determine whether or not Judah would make an adequate father. And, much like his G1 test, he's going in sans-study. How does he do? Does he answer these sort of niche parenting questions correctly? Will he score high enough? I mean... they're saying he's kinda cracked.

Everything turns to chaos when we’re on the roof. Our stuff falls over, Ben is doing some weird metaphor for a real world issue, and then our stuff falls over again. What a mess.

I sure hope Ben doesn't go to JAIL. He's a big part of our country's deficit. He's accountable for the loss of $2000 into the ether. Where could it have gone? Did he steal money from the government? Hard to say. He says no, but I'm not sure if I'm convinced. But hopefully he doesn't end up in prison. That would REALLY put a hit on this podcast.

Is this the WORST movie of 2025!? Not according to Mr. Prime (Amazon...that is). It's number 4 in Canada! At least it was when we recorded this. Survive, directed by Frédéric Jardin, is 2025's BIGGEST STINKER. Starring Émilie Dequenne and Andreas Pietschmann, Survive is movie about the ocean disappearing and having to fend off hungry aquatic wildlife...sort of. It's mostly about a bunch of other crap.
