S2 E32: Butterfly Massacre

Sometimes Ben makes mistakes in life. One of those mistakes was letting Bryan interpret one of his segment ideas. Join Bryan and his formidable sidekick Zachary as they do an equally formidable job of saving what could very well have been one of the most royally doomed pod-casts of all time. Also, this episode is sponsored by Gary Johnson. Or something.

S2 E31: The Ben Show!

On today's show Ben talks to himself! No, not like an insane person. Similar to a person who was the only person available to record and decided instead of skipping a week, he'd just talk to himself! He discusses food, fashion, and tells some stories. Enjoy!

S2 E30: Talking about life

In today's episode, Bryan, Abigail, and Ben discuss things they've learned from their jobs and talk about how each of us deals with stress. In addition: What is October, without Zach requiring some

S2 E29: Stephen's Back!

S2 E27: What a Cluster Cuss

Ever wanted to know how good you are at pairing a marketing catch phrase with a company? No? Well regardless, now you can! This episode we discuss eating, gaming, and play a game that has little to no re-playability (which is totally a word.) Enjoy!

SPOILER ALERT:

Bryan: Have you ever wanted to wake up with wings?

Cameron: I'm thinking of going vegan

Ben: So, because we're always so fragmented when it comes to playing games together, Cameron has convinced me to play Destiny.

Abigail: ... She didn't actually say hers... so... yeah.... sorry :(

S2 E23: Return of the Billy

Guess who's back! In case you didn't read the title, you might be curious. It's Billy, the one and only! I mean, there are other Billys in the world, but ours is a unique model. What has he been up to in the last six months? Why, he's been watching a not-anime series called RWBY (and yes, we suspect he has been watching it for six months straight). Cameron is back, too-- you know, from Bryan's Trip to Not-Sand Land! He has many jovial bladder-related stories to share. Stephen and Zachary aren't special, though. They're just dudes hangin' out. The episode concludes with a fun round of De-FIN-itions, which reveals a shocking Australian fact about Billy that ewe won't want to miss!

S2 E22: Bryan's Trip to Not-Sand Land

Long ago, Cameron came to visit Stephen and Bryan in the far away land of Texas. To Cameron's addled mind, Texas was a land comprised entirely of sand. He was sorely disappointed with the reality.

In July, however, the tables turned. Bryan instead set forth to venture out to Cameron's home of the West Coast! Dubbed appropriately, Not-Sand Land. The two embarked on a road trip down the west coast in search of... nothing in particular. San Francisco, I guess. They also created a haphazard collection of audio logs along the way, which they were kind enough to share with the world! 

Warning: these were minimally edited and hastily recorded, so don't expect our usual stellar sound quality. Or sanity, for that matter. It was a long trip.

S2 E21: One Fingerless Glove

Stephen, Ben, and Abigail-- all best friends with consideration of their respective first names-- are to do some word talking, one of their many hobbies. Other hobbies include reading, gaming, parkour, and more, which you will learn about during The Best and Worst of Kind of Everything. But before you get all self righteous, desists! They don't just talk about themselves; they also give other people unsolicited advice in a brand new edition of Whale Mail! Also you will learn Ben's dark secret, so that's fun, right?

S2 E20: An Episode About Something Probably?

An assortment of Whales are Whales folk gather together to chat about the pressing topics of our age, including... um... you know, stuff. So... okay. This is Stephen and I haven't actually listened to this episode, so I'm just gonna blindly upload whatever's on this MP3 and we'll discover it together!

S2 E19: Trivia, Trivia, Trivia: Questions

Big time game-show-host-without-a-license Benjamin Smith bursts onto the scene with a brand new question-filled trivia segment called Trivia, Trivia, Trivia: Questions! I mean, the first ten minutes of the episode consist mostly of a confusing argument about Whales are Whales: Civil War, but don't think about that part. YOU signed on for the confusing head-scratchers about American presidents and eSports (a combination made in heaven). Better grab your pencils, because you're keeping score! Actually, Ben is keeping score, so... you might not need the pencil. It's your call, I guess. Okay, so, bye. Drive safe.

S2 E18: A Problematic Episode

Abigail is in Houston visiting her BEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WORLD Stephen and Bryan. Zachary and Cameron are sitting at home. (Ben is lost at sea.) Each and all of them carry harmful and personal problems that can only be solved through the power of groupthink. Can the fractured, recently at civil war bunch of plucky podcasters manage to crank out another episode of supreme quality and good old fashioned laughs? I mean, kind of.

S2 E17: Answers, Answers, Answers: Poetry Slam

Whales are Whales comes to a tense stalemate as democratic vote fails our heroes and villains once again. What does a nation at war do when they can't kick each other and light cars on fire? Well, as the U.N. decreed in 1993, "introduce two new segments and have a silly good time." Whale Mail has Liam, Cameron, Abigail, and Ben giving offer advice to advice columns while We Make Crappy Poems Yeah is a feast for the emotional spectrum thanks to some snappy free verse poetry. Despite rumors of Bryan and Zachary killing each other off, you'll have plenty to smile about!

S2 E16: Questions, Questions, Questions: Civil War

In direct retaliation of last week's episode from Cameron, Zachary, and Abigail, the second half of the network host their own question-fest, ensuring that fate humanity always dreaded to live through: the Whales are Whales Civil War. "Brothers" in arms Stephen, Bryan, and Ben burst into battle as the cannons of life roar their entropic death knells, the military devises cloaking technology and possibly flying suits, and soldiers fall like Styrofoam from a mysteriously packed package.

S2 E15: HIT THAT BUTTON

Bryan isn't here this week and neither is Stephen, so... so... wait...

Who's steering the ship?

Why, 'tis Captain Zachary and his merry crew Cameron and Arrrrrbigail! They sail the choppy seas of randomly generated questions to glimpse hidden caves of mortality, resist the siren songs of lovers long gone, do battle with scallywags once named friend, and stumble upon buried treasure valued at one million dollars (before taxes).

S2 E14: A Whole New World (feat. Ariel)

Abigail is here for this episode of the Whales are Whales Pod-Cast, sure, but do you know who she brought with her? That's right! A female human being of very similar DNA structure and familial descent: her sister Ariel! This figure from her past conjures up thoughts of nostalgia, such as very specific childhood memories involving $16 jeans. The dual Endsleys vanish to the winds of time before the credits roll, leaving Stephen, Bryan, Zachary, and Ben to play a new segment called De-FIN-itions, during which they take turns guessing the meaning of words by going around the table widdershins-style.
