2 Als 1 Pod Vol 363: In these turbulent times this is the podcast that will not help.

January 12, 2026·49 min·5 clips

The episode opens on a spinoff's usual loose footing. The show traces itself back to the web series The Two Dicks, says April will mark six years of the podcast, and repeats the running joke that more than $3 million in Bitcoin is stuck in a wallet after a phishing loss, so the show keeps going until that money is ever recovered. Albie Sharma is on a Princess cruise ship, Al Romas is docked in Castamaya, Mexico on the Star of the Seas, and the conversation quickly turns into a back-and-forth about how much the world is happening and how little either of them can control it. The banter stays blunt and comic, with true-crime talk used as both credential and joke, and with the hosts swatting at each other between interruptions. A stop in Cozumel leads to a dentist visit, a memory of cheaper cleanings years ago, and a comparison between out-of-pocket costs in Mexico and dental coverage at home. The show keeps circling practical travel details, like being docked, heading home in two days, and dealing with unstable internet, but it never settles into seriousness. The closing stretch leans into the podcast's own bad behavior, with rate-and-review plugs, insults, a reminder to subscribe, and the familiar joke that the whole thing was a horrible mistake. What survives is the chemistry, the friction, and the stubborn refusal to make any of it respectable.

As heard by us

Cruise ship banter, a locked Bitcoin wallet, and a dentist run keep this loose, rude hour moving.

This episode leans into a cruise ship riff, a locked Bitcoin windfall, and a dentist run in Cozumel. The best stretch comes when the talk flips from world chaos to true crime swagger to simple price checking, then keeps circling back as one running joke.
