RamblingBeachCast - Episode 029
It's back to school week on the Rambling Beach Cast, and Nick and Seth's secret itch to join a sorority was scratched by special guest Kristen Popovich. Kristen is a student at Clemson, who serves as a recruiter for Delta Zeta, an RA for a male athletics dorm, and is famous for "leprechauning" the 2016 Clemson football poster. Discussion centered on debunking, or in some cases proving, the stereotypes of sorority/college life as well as Nick and Seth's reflections on their own joint fraternity experiences as members of Phi Mu Alpha. Random questions about dolphin sex and dog suffering took a dark turn, as did a discussion of skinny jeans and "worship pastor" fashion, but were redeemed by a furious defense of cargo shorts.

RamblingBeachCast - Episode 028
Nick and Seth were pleased to welcome fellow AiPT writer Alyssa Jackson to the podcast. This week's episode of the Rambling Beach Cast is a veritable geek-fest about Star Wars, including the anticipation of Rogue One, the success of Episode IV- I mean, Episode VII, and our personal forays into the Expanded Universe, may it rest in peace. But first, it's all about Lochte-gate at the Olympics and nude Trump statues. Listener questions include our best/worst/favorite Olympic events and more Star Wars!

RamblingBeachCast - Episode 027
This week's episode of the Rambling Beach Cast features one of Nick's former students, Mary Ketchum, who was more than happy to demystify the wonders of pregnancy with stories of supermarket weeping, cravings for Publix cake, sleeping difficulties, and the ultimate "free-pass" card. Seth and Nick geek out about the recent frustrations about Star Wars collectibles, and plenty of listener questions at 35:30 about bodily scars, Snickers commercial actors, and which fictional universe we'd prefer to live in. This episode is a few days late, but give us a break, pregnancy math is hard!

RamblingBeachCast - Episode 026
The ever-gregarious Seth "Vatt-opotamous" and the mighty, noble Nick "Nafplio-beast" are joined by special guest Lauren Ruoploi on this episode of the Rambling Beach Cast. Featured are some incredible stories of the food service industry, including bondage, pick-up lines, and Office Space moments. Listener questions include our thoughts on political platforms and alien visitation, and they reflect on the exploits of the semi-legendary @FakeLouHoltzKSR. Mildly amusing, completely absurd. We ramble on because we can!
August 1, 2016
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 025
This week's Rambling Beach Cast is NOT brought to you by Massengill Douche Bags and William Shatner.

Some great listener questions start around 16:00 about tattoos, peeing in the pool, and horrible pickup lines. Mildly amusing, completely absurd. We ramble on because we can!
July 24, 2016
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 024

Listener questions start around 23:30, and Seth gets an epic rant in on one-sided, for-profit journalism as it relates to Trump and Fox News. Mildly amusing, completely absurd. We ramble on because we can!
July 16, 2016
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 023

Catch up with Nick and Seth about the hiatus, as they specialize in making everything awkward including pop culture, politics, and listener questions. Topics include: The curious phenomenon of man-child shaming. Is canned cheese real cheese? Is our country about to be engulfed in the flames of a Trumpnado? These are the issues of our time. Listener questions start around 24:30

It's the height of summer, so join Seth, Nick and Francesca as they recap the Trayvon Martin incident, and bask in the effervescent glow of the new B-movie classic, Sharknado. Also, listener questions from AskFM on topics like summer jobs selling Cutco, waterballooning sorority chicks, breaking the law, and "tresspassin'." Apologies for the delay in posting.

July 1, 2013
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 021

June 21, 2013
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 020
Seth and Nick are joined once more by Francesca, as today turned into a bit of an inadvertent poop-cast.

Francesca finishes things off with her own version of a Dale story in this edition of the Rambling Beach Cast.
June 11, 2013
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 019
Seth and Nick are joined by Francesca, one of Nick's former students and the lucky co-host who correctly guessed Joe's nickname.

March 4, 2013

RamblingBeachCast - Episode 015

October 31, 2012
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 014

October 9, 2012
RamblingBeachCast - Episode 012

Lots of Kentucky football talk, and Seth celebrates a birthday, but our guest Katie Kerns bailed on us tonight. Katie is our friend Brad’s wife and she was supposed to be our guest for the Dale segment, but she was forbidden from podcasting with us.
