This week’s episode is late and full of nonsense because Pat’s battling bronchitis and Franchesca is pulling ridiculous hours at her 3 jobs. So we have no clue what the heck we’re talking about this week, but you’ll just have to deal.

Jon Hamm’s got some dirty laundry, Miley’s sister’s in a new PETA ad and the tragic case of Walter Scott. Questions, thoughts about the episode or suggestions for next week’s show? Tweet us using #LastNameBasis!

Jay Z’s app is making waves, an Indiana pizza parlor banks off their bigotry and Trevor Noah’s in trouble over some old tweets. Have questions or topic suggestions for next week’s show? Tweet us using #LastNameBasis!

Our theme song search continues, news media keeps trolling and we try to offer marriage advice but it doesn’t go as planned.

Starbucks wants us to talk about race, a bunch of animals are endangered and Patrick struggles to hold onto his white card and use “fleek” in a sentence.

Play it cool, we recorded this week’s episode last week (since Fran’s still in Austin for SXSW), so instead of covering trending stories, we went kinda random. This week we talked about middle school growing pains, the immanent threat of vegetable enslavement and white people rocking flip flops in the winter.

We’re back after an unexpected week off! Did you miss us? Promise we have a good excuse for missing last week: Megabus. This week we chatted about #BlackOutDay, the problem with “asking for cookies” and some really random science awards.

This week we discussed New York’s terrible weather, Rudy Giuliani shit talking Obama and Vanilla Ice’s recent arrest, all while trying to use secret hand signals to move the show along.

This week we chatted about Valentine’s Day, the Chapel Hill Shooting and the New York Time’s advice for falling in love.

This week we discuss our show’s non existent theme song, one easy and super natural way to make 13k and the unidentified crap floating around the subway.

We’re back after a week off! Did you miss us? This week we discuss NY’s underwhelming snow storm, online trolls and the golden dog that’s got Filthy and Kaya shook.

This week Pat and Franchesca chat about the Oscars along with their dog’s diet and in what’s seemingly becoming a pattern, a bunch of other random non-related stuff. Give it a listen and tweet us with #LastNameBasis to let us know what you thought of the episode!

Check out our very first episode of “Last Name Basis”! This week we talked about the problem with #JeSuisCharlie, some of our new years resolutions and our new favorite show “Black Mirror”.
