Podcast / Mean Boys

A scripted comedy podcast featuring topical jokes, games and irreverent nihilism hosted by comedians Keith Carey, Connor McSpadden, and Tom Goss. The podcast was mostly recorded in a house in Echo Park and it deployed uses of offensive humour, sketch comedy, and insult comedy. The podcast initially began with a different lineup featuring comedian, Fifi Dosch in the place of Tom Goss, but she quickly left well into the show's run. The podcast began in 2015 and concluded its run in 2019.

This Podcast Provides Examples of:

• Apocalypse How:
  • Class 3b: In the Omega Tom a virus is released that kills most or mutates most of the population.
  • Class 6: In another sketch, a nuke goes off in California, almost immediately killing the three podcasters before they can get to safety.

• Cloudcuckoolander: Tom Goss. Full Stop. Tom's on-mic and in-sketch persona is of a man who creates bizarre alternative definitions of words and names (i.e., The Devil is Edgy God). But he also has claimed that as a young man, he believed himself to be the Zodiac Killer. He also tends mic to not remember things that were just spoken to him. As an outside example, fans have gifted him with multiple medieval weapons. All of these were featured in a You Tube video about cooking a burger.

• Omnicidal Maniac:
  • Carnok The Bloodfeaster is a demonic overlord from the hellish realm of Daggeroth who ran a failed campaign for the presidency in 2016.
  • The Fudge Lord is a semi-alien entity that is focused on sacrificing all life to The Fudge. He is the Fudge Lord.

• Power of the Void: The Void is a presence in several sketches where it is presented as being a non-speaking character in sitcom settings.

• Serious Business:
  • The Fudge Lord: If you speak ill of The Fudge, you are branded as a heretic and either killed or driven to madness by the powers of the Fudge Lord. As demonstrated by beloved television scientist Bill Nye the Science Guy.

• Southies: Mark Malloy of Mark Malloy's Anime Emporium is a violent Bostonian reprobate whose main pastimes include creating sketchy businesses, eating random pills, and committing horrible acts of violence. Though his acts of terror are often directed at those who deserve it.
• The Plague: In the unfinished sketch series The Omega Tom, Tom Goss is survives an apocalypse where a horrible plague kills a good chunk of humanity, while the remaining survivors either mutate into horrible cannibalistic ghouls or are immune. Like our dear, Tom.

• You Are Fat: Is the only joke Connor seems to make about his co-hosts.
