Ernest Goes to Podcast

Still coming to terms with the final Ernest movie. We investigate Ben-Ali's soap opera acting, puzzle over where Ernest's magnetic draw to the army fits into the Ernest multiverse, and have long delayed realizations about what KNOWHUTIMEAN™ means.

Ernest joins the Army Reserves, vomits gummies, teams up with two Bens, and fulfills his destiny as the Great American Warrior of prophecy in "Ernest in the Army". Join us as we hold back tears and salute our good buddy in his final film.

Erin and David ride a golf cart deeper into the heart of Ernest Goes to Africa, as Ernest's late puberty is examined and the mysterious past of Ernest's other half—Rene—comes to heavenly light. Also: other things!

Harem girls, British golfers, Indian palaces—it must be Africa! Erin, David and Dan get swept up in the romance of Ernest Goes to Africa, as Ernest and his lady love Rene flee from international jewel thieves (just like in that Illinois Smith movie).

Erin and David visit the locker room and strip down Slam Dunk Ernest some more! We bond over the subliminal messages, Quincy's brutal insults, loving Dr. Love, explore Barry's role as an Ernest middleman, and check out some Ernest fanfiction.

Erin, David, and special guest Cindy take a utopian flight through an unexpected religious allegory—featuring Ernie Ali Worrell, the Archangel of Basketball Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, demonic sports scout Zamiel Moloch, and GOD. This is SLAM DUNK ERNEST.

We continue unraveling the tangled (and possibly sinister) ball of yarn that is Your World as I See It! Bunny's ad career, Coy's possible origins, and Ernest's videogame potential are discussed as we plummet deeper into the bowels of Ernest P. World.

Gain some culture with the long-suffering Astor Clement in "Your World as I See It". Erin, David, and special guest Valerie discuss Ernest's questionable family in terms even common persons like you can understand. But seriously—what IS this?

Grab a number 2 pencil for some "Ernest Goes to School" extra credit! We discuss what the world looks like through Ernest goggles, tear-jerking meatloaf servers, Ernest's programming/irreparable brain damage, and some Worrell Halloween action.

Go Muskrats! Ernest goes to school—with the aid of the world's first subatomic brain accelerator. Erin, David, and special guest Lauren cover all the major subjects: Nazi allusions, maniacal scientists, football glory, and what it means to be SMART.

Our hillside cannon trip continues with an "Ernest Rides Again" extra! We read listeners' sad Ernest theater experiences and lament Ernest's unmade alien encounter scripts (for real). Also, Erin cosplays Ernest at NYCC '15, to the confusion of many.

Hop on your Revolutionary War cannon and ride down the mountain with us as we tackle "Ernest Rides Again"! Erin, David, and special guest Alisa discuss Indiana Worrell's drifter tendencies, Dr. Abner "Vern" Melon, the REAL Crown Jewels, and more.

In this "Ernest Scared Stupid" extra, we take a look at The Art of the Title, a celebrity news writer goes swoony for Varney, Ernest gets stereotyped again, and we get presents.

Ernest Scared Stupid BLEW OUR MINDS. Erin, David, and special guest Nelson ride an emotional roller coaster of earth shattering revelations. Ernest's contradictory genius, parallels with Back to the Future, steampunk Eartha Kitt—it's all too much.

Get polarized with this new "Ernest Goes to Jail" Extra! We talk more about Felix, the parallels between Ernest and James Bond, Bruce Arntson's musical contributions, and Jim Varney's comically oversized hands.
