Friendship, arguments, and beautifully stupid detours.
Regulation Podcast is a fast, messy panel hang built around friends trying to make each other laugh. A mall trip, a song draft, a stale note, or a technical glitch can become the whole machine.

Regulation Podcast is friend-group comedy with the brakes mostly off. It is not built around tidy interviews or polished segments. The show works because the panel keeps turning low-stakes moments into loud little events. A trip through Lakeline Mall becomes a running inventory of Macy's vibes, shoe stores, closed storefronts, late-opening shops, and one jacket that almost fits. A milestone episode becomes a celebration, a technical argument about hotspot bits, a custom Game Boy image, mushroom logic, and a cupcake mashed into paste. The stakes are usually ridiculous. The commitment is real. Regulation Podcast is funniest when someone brings a note, a complaint, a draft category, or a stray memory and the others immediately start testing it for weak spots. The group corrects each other constantly, but the corrections usually make the bit dumber in a useful way. An argument about whether proof can be edited in later turns into its own courtroom. A discussion of old notes somehow lands on Y2K, forgotten phrases, and whether the bit has already been done. Even the supplemental episodes treat hot takes like tiny public hearings. Public restroom etiquette at Disney World gets handled with the urgency of civic infrastructure. Food-song drafts become a reason to question taste, strategy, and whether someone has ever ordered anything alone. The show is blunt and irreverent, but its center is oddly warm. These are people with shared language, old references, and enough trust to let a conversation get strange without losing the thread. Regulation Podcast is for listeners who like comedy that feels social, fast, and overgrown with callbacks. It rewards attention, but it does not demand formality. The fun is watching a group turn almost nothing into a problem worth arguing about.
Made for: Best for listeners who enjoy fast panel banter, recurring bits, absurd arguments, and comedy built from ordinary frustrations. It fits people who prefer messy chemistry over polished interview structure.
What sets it apart: The show turns tiny observations into full-group events, then keeps escalating through callbacks, corrections, and mock-serious disputes. Its strength is not the topic list; it is the speed and familiarity of the people bouncing off it.
The Regulation Podcast is a show about friendship and embracing absurdity. Join Andrew, Nick, Eric, Geoff and Gavin in a never-ending pursuit to make each other laugh at almost any cost. Whether it's Podcasts, Let's Plays or Anal Waxings something incredibly stupid is always happening and we'd love for you to be along for the ride.
