Oops, We Made Fun of Jesus

Three guys walk into a podcast… and immediately apologize to Jesus 😅. This episode is part therapy session, part comedy club, and part “wait… are we the problem?” We unpack faith, childhood, nostalgia, and why we might accidentally joke about sacred stuff (oops). It’s honest, messy, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. No hate—just humans trying to figure it out. Come laugh, reflect, and maybe forgive us.

Three guys, zero prep, and one glorious identity crisis. Welcome back to the Upward Spiral (aka Biofriendly… aka Schrödinger’s Podcast). From “Busch League” chaos to AI doomsday, Mecha-Hitler glitches, Hawaiian airlines vibes, and why laughter might save humanity—this episode zigzags harder than your WiFi. We missed a few months… our bad. But hey, we still give a crap. Maybe. Tune in and touch grass.

The Last Biofriendly Podcast

We wanted to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to all of you out there that have listened, supported and shared The Biofriendly Podcast over the past 5 years. We've spent this year writing, filming and developing our new uplifting series called "Upward Spiral" which has finally ARRIVED! You can watch it on YouTube, but we've also made a podcast version if that's still your jam. As you know, The Biofriendly Podcast focused on how we could work together to help clean our planet, but we wanted to shift our focus to the listener's experience of the world and try to elevate human nature and launch everyone into the UPWARD SPIRAL! You'll hear the same silly banter as before, but the show has grown immensely and we are incredibly proud. Thank you for a wonderful 5 years!

The cicadas are coming! What ever do we do?! In a rare occurrence, a trillion cicadas from two different broods will fly in the skies over the Midwest and Southeast regions of the U.S. in the end of April, but have no fear! Cicadas are harmless and actually very good for our environment. Join us for a famously tangential Biofriendly Podcast full of Shakespearean quips and portable office cuisine as we eventually find our way to this historic swarm of cicada broods.

You won't believe the amount of toilet paper we use every year, especially in the United States. In an effort to reduce the amount of Canadian forest we rely upon to wipe our sweet patooties, startups are springing up all over the place with treeless toilet paper-- but what does that mean? Toilet humor takes center stage in this week's Biofriendly Podcast where we give a crap about everything from wiping our behinds to winning a game of darts for chocolate.
