Jack and David are joined by Jack's longtime friend, Underemployed superfan, and actual respected journalist Jessica Albert, along with mutual friend and friend of the show Julie Sawitzky! They discuss Jessica's long journey across various cities and stations in her career, from her time at JMU to ending up in Baltimore, despite not yet having a proper Bawlmur accent or pants with the Maryland flag on them, covering a Billie Eilish concert despite not knowing who she is, going to Disney World every weekend while working in Orlando, how they all became friends in the first place, David's mom being a respected journalist herself, Jessica finding a love for running, and hating water-skiing squirrels. Plus Julie reminds David she's still not a CPA, and talks about the... unique event she and Jack almost went to years ago in Pittsburgh.

70 - Ebony and Ivory and Ivory and Ivory (feat. Jessica Albert and Julie Sawitzky)

Cue the Mariah Carey, pour yourself some nog, and get your affairs in order, because Christmas is back, and so are the coveted, prestigious Undie Awards! David and Jack join you from the long-condemned Richmond Coliseum to hand out awards (including an album of the year no one sees coming), praise themselves for not killing a 103-year old woman, make multiple Homestar Runner references, settle grudges with fistfights, observe the rise and fall of Ash Ketchum, look at the wild rides of Elon Musk and Dan Snyder, discuss the insanity of the World Cup Final, read a bizarrely beautiful speech from their de facto guest of the year, and so much more.
Plus Jack coins the phrase "his ceiling is through the roof" because he's not well-equipped to handle English.

69 - The 5th Annual Undie Awards

Fresh off another wonderful Jay-Z Day, Jack and David discuss their Thanksgivings, including how David now preps his mac and cheese, he goes in-depth on the World Cup and the U.S.'s loss to the Netherlands, as well as the future of the program, sports apparently matter again because the Lakers are playing well (with Jack seeing their dominating win against the Wizards in-person), David has flaming hot takes even by his absurdly high standards, legalizing prostitution, Virginia drivers are apparently ass, and they preview the Undie Awards. Also, sports actually don't matter because Aaron Judge didn't sign with the Giants.

68 - Return of the Mac

David and Jack talk about missing part of the Chris Rock show because they're idiots, David’s excited for the World Cup while Jack has a soft spot for Brazil, sports don't matter because the Lakers are mediocre, Jack likes Taylor Swift's new album while they talk about the shitshow of her concert tickets on sale through TicketMaster, Kanye can't even get into Sketchers, and News Jabs, with someone trying to sneak a gun through a raw chicken at an airport!
(Also, for legal purposes, don't actually keep your oven open.)

67 - Keep Your Oven Open

David talks about his trip to Philadelphia to meet friend of the show Colin Mackey for Premier League Fanfest, and he and Jack discuss which US cities are still on their bucket list, the concerns of the Lakers, the status of an Underemployed Curse, Jack's suggestion for turning around the Jaguars, he uses the nonsensical phrase "Lightning in a pan" for some reason, and they have a long discussion about the downfall of Kanye West and if it's possible to separate art from artist. Plus the long-awaited return of News Jabs, including the winner of Fat Bear Week!

66 - All Falls Down

David and Jack want to buy the Phoenix Mercury, and they need your help (Hint: It involves giving them money). They also talk about the impact of Hurricane Ian, Aaron Judge's impact on the record books, the miracle run of Albert Pujols, them feeling not-optimistic about the Capitals and Lakers, Jack's experience at the state fair, Rihanna performing the Super Bowl halftime show (while John Cena got snubbed), Jack's anger at Joe Flacco getting benched, and more!

65 - Glue Gals/Thems

Jack and David discuss getting to see Lupe Fiasco perform The Cool in its entirety (along with a verse they never thought they'd get to hear live), Joe Flacco retaining his eliteness, the Jaguars are probably Super Bowl bound, David's hot take of an NBA Finals preview, the Lakers are doomed, and Jack ponders the benefits of getting a fake butt. Plus David tells the story of his parents' once-in-a-lifetime vacation nearly being derailed by Queen Elizabeth's death.

64 - BBL = BDE?

An update on the #MarkMcGwireChallenge, etiquette of wearing sweatpants in public and shorts above the knee, David may be classist and also doesn't want to go to strip clubs, Eminem is nearly an EGOT winner, an Underemployed NFT and mascot, mustaches coming back in style, which sports are actually sports, Jack wants to chat with Jay-Z at the Roc Nation Brunch, and more! Plus David's beautiful tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

62 - Summer G’s

You people asked, we... people answered! In the first Q&A in nearly 2 1/2 years, David and Jack answer rude questions about their alleged advanced age, Weird Al's lyrical prowess, getting hit on by old people at the gym, escaping a deserted island with Bobby Bonilla, tons of questions about food, making new friends at their age, what city they'd want to live in, and much, much more. Plus David loudly and unnecessarily gets something wrong that's easily searchable, Jack would gladly shill for some blood money, and they pay tribute to the Bodega Boys in the wake of their breakup.

61 - Q&A V: Daddies’ Gotta Eat

New city, same nonsense! Jack's moved down to Richmond, so he and David celebrate with the return of old pal Nick Livingstone! They talk about Nick's scholarly success since he's last been on, being stunned by hearing his past trash talking, the best spots to eat in the city, how Nick copes with David's hot takes, Nick's love of cats (while David proudly owns a surly, fat cat), getting out of the bartending business and the fact that Nick is also somehow the most downloaded episode of the podcast ever. Jack also talks about his nerves of giving another wedding toast, and he and Nick make fun of David's various medical ailments, but, you know, in a sweet and loving way.

60 - Flying Squirrels Fever (feat. Nick Livingstone)

Once again bringing you the NCAA Tournament preview that proudly features absolutely no actual college basketball analysis, David and Jack are back and picking a winner between mascots in each matchup in a theoretical free-for-all brawl. From the sizes of various big cats, to the fighting skills of a refined gentleman, to how Sister Jean and a random homeless guy were intertwined once upon a time, it's time for what is truly the most wonderful show of the year!

59 - March Madness Mascot Melee IV

In anticipation of the State of the Union address, David and Jack decide to drop their own address to you people, where they give very presidential speeches on the goals, future, and clear amazing societal impact of this beautiful, sexy podcast!

58 - State of the Show

Much like some deadbeat dads, despite being a little late, David and Jack return to celebrate their baby's fourth birthday! Featuring the return of Joe "Peanut" Dweck to face the music on his questionable Mitchell Robinson and New York Knicks predictions, another slap in the face from Nick Livingstone, plus a look back at the Drexel Dragons magical tournament run, the return of their favorite guests, their new podcast art, more talk on what constitutes being culturally southern, the Super Bowl's halftime show, and more!

57 - Our (Delayed) 4th Anniversary!

Coming to you live from the decaying corpse of RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., while respecting the squatters' rights of the racoons that now call it home, David and Jack return to hand out some gold-plated pantaloons! Including a Woman of the Year near and dear to their heart, a perfectly meme-y yet litty Song of the Year, a Hot Take of the Year that saw a beloved athlete shoot himself in the foot like, 5 or 6 times, baseball having some national relevancy again, the return of the In Memoriam segment, and the 2nd annual Lifetime Achievement Award going to a centenarian who they hope doesn't continue the trophy's string of bad luck!  

56 - The 4th Annual Undie Awards

With the holiday season now in full swing, how about a new Underemployed to whet your whistle? Jack and David discuss their Thanksgiving, including their favorite food and Jack staying in a spot with... weird history for him. They also talk about going public on the NASDAQ, the awful new name for the current-Staples Center, Waluigi not coming through in the clutch, an update on Joe "Peanut" Dweck's hot take on Mitchell Robinson, Jack wanting more money for no work, ways you can get Underemployed merch, an announcement on their next episode, and in a bonus clip, Jack talks about a musical act at the end of a Dave Chappelle event that got him geeked!

55 - Milk Sonic

Back with another guest, this time David's semi-famous frisbee pal, Joe "Peanut" Dweck. They talk to Peanut about growing up in Brooklyn before going to Indiana University, the craziest rumor around campus about a future NBA lottery pick, his tenure in law school and why he wanted to get in law to help kids, David telling him about the Chandra Levy murder, Rutgers' condom mascot, his wedding, and the delusions, depression, and blind optimism that comes with being a New York sports fan!

54 - Frisbee Clout (feat. Joe ”Peanut” Dweck)

Despite David sounding like they were recording way past his bedtime, it's another exciting episode of Underemployed! Featuring the wild rides of Urban Meyer and Jon Gruden, Newcastle's new problematic owners buying the team from a guy who apparently throws up in fireplaces, Jack getting an ovation for a wedding toast he didn't even give, David's long haul to a wedding of his own, getting blue-balled by "Return of the Mack", visiting Kobe Bryant's old high school, the coldest the wedding they've ever been to, not embezzling money when you're a former NBA player, what song they'd geek out for at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and more!

53 - Thuggish Ruggish Pod

Jack and David return to the podcast earf to talk about how Drake's "Way 2 Sexy" is a gift and Kawhi Leonard's star-making cameo in the music video. They also discuss the end of Summer and the annoyingly hot weather as it went out, their chance encounter on public transportation (!), Jack's vacation, David getting back in the wedding groove, Jack's pathetic attempt to name the branches of the military, David's head shape, Jack's last concert, them joining the U.S. Space Force, and remembering Norm Macdonald while discussing some of his favorite bits and jokes. And in some bonus bits from before the official start, David talks about Urban Myer's lack of success with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and a potentially spicy Halloween costume.

52 - Way 2 Funny

Coming to you from the morgue of Area 51 (*cue the X-Files theme), it's Underemployed! With an update on the poll on whether or not David was correct in saying Texas isn't a culturally Southern state, bad storms, the 25th birthday of ATLiens, the rollout for Kanye West's album, Drake's album cover, David giggling like a titmouse at the Washington Nationals' win percentage, the pleasant success of the San Francisco Giants, Jack getting a proper vacation, and the return of the Wedding Bois!
