Columbus Is Real

We're back! Join as we discuss our daydrinking excursion to Seventh Son, Budd Dairy, and a little shopping at Flower Child.

Closing out 2025 with a look at Nocterra's new location - Nocterra Audubon. The guys also discuss some stats about the time between Christmas and New Year's. Apologies in advance for the wonky sound in spots, we have some new hardware and the manual may or may not have been completely read. The issue has been isolated and will be addressed before the next episode, I promise!

Hi! Sorry we're late! It's been crazy busy lately. But hey, we're here now. Tom and Mike. talk about Ren Fest, catch up on the police blotter, laugh and drink, then say night night to Emily. All in record time!

I know, I know! I'm super late. But the episode is here now! Tom and Mike rave about High Bank Distillery, and then discuss a guy who got a beatdown for his jukebox choices. Depending on the selection in question, maybe the asskicking was justified? Tune in to find out!

The guys chat about the greatest of all central Ohio festivals: Comfest! Then they follow it up with the police blotter, which includes a story about a man pleasuring himself in the sample sheds at Lowes and an up-and-coming coke dealer passing out free samples with his contact info.

Sorry for the delay! It's been hectic around here.

Anyways, Tom and Mike talk about Tom's hectic concert schedule then we discuss our favorite movie theater in town, Studio 35!

Holy crap - after 5 years and 60+ hours of audio, the boys have finally added video!

This month Tom and Mike discuss their visit to Nocterra in Powell, and cover a couple of fun stories from the police blotter, including a man that breaks the golden rule of crime and a potential actor for the inevitable live-action King of the Hill movie/TV show that breaks the golden rule of the post-9/11 world.

New name! New concept! New content! Here we are starting our sixth year!

Welcome to Columbus Is Real!

Of course, now is when our trusty mixer goes on the fritz, so the first minute or so were eaten by the audio gods, but fear not, you didn't miss much.

Tom and Mike discuss changes to the show, our recent trip to Natalie's Grandview, and some dude caught naked in a laundromat. You literally asked for that last part, by a wide margin.

Hard to believe, but Tom and Mike have been doing this show for five years now! To celebrate, we look back at where we've come, ponder where we're going, and talk about a guy that eluded arrest while dressed in a Dalmatian onesie.

Once again we hooked with our friends Jenny and Jean-Paul over at the WTF Did I Just Watch podcast for some movie shenanigans. This time Randy from the Last Roundup Horror Show podcast joined us as well! We gathered the troops and watched Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare in a mostly empty theater.

Join us now as we discuss our cinematic outing.

Have you been waiting to hear what two straight, middle-aged white guys thought of the Wicked movie?

You shouldn't be! But it's here for you either way!

Also, we discuss hands down the best movie theater in the city, Studio 35, a guy that holds up a liquor store wearing a shower curtain, and a woman that calls 911 to narc on her meth dealer. Happy Thanksgiving!

Meet Kimberly Marie Robins. In this episode (which I incorrectly refer to as 55 during the show) we discuss her journey to a job interview from North Carolina to the Florida Keys. It...doesn't go well. There's Crown Royal, there's running into a building, there's spitting on a cop.

But hey, content, am I right?? We also talk about a dude that is cloning giant sheep to...wait for it...hunt. Insert your Sure Jan gif here.

Tom and Mike recorded in the brand new Studio A! This month's episode focuses on the most rewatched shows in the US and Canada by State/Province/Territory. The guys comment on North America's taste in TV shows, and offer some better alternatives.

Holy Crap, Tom is back in Ohio...to stay!

What better way to celebrate than to talk about a man who literally sneezed his guts up, and another classic naked rampage, but this time, with a drunk monkey.

Sorry for the delay, finally getting the May episode up! Tom continues to track down the most interesting naked rampages around, and a company built a live-streaming portal between NYC and Dublin, Ireland...what could go wrong??

See that guy? That's Jonathon Perry. In this month's episode, Mike and Tom discuss his recent arrest and why it's never a good idea to wear clothes with your name on it when attempting a kidnapping. Oh, and a guy got stung in a really bad place by a scorpion. And no, I don't mean Vegas, I mean his testicle.
