EverythingNothing

Last fall Amir Blumenfeld and Streeter Seidell started a new podcast entitled EverythingNothing.  They use the pseudonyms of Dannis O'Connell and and Dennis O'Connor respectively.  They even have their own twitter feed for the podcast, mostly consisting up of updates on new podcasts and extended jokes.  And this podcast is hilarious.  It has a different type of humor than Jake and Amir.  Their catchphrase is, "The only podcast in the known universe dedicated to arts, science, literature, philosophy and everythingnothing in between."  It also opens with some smooth jazz music.  But this podcast is far from the serious air they ironically put off.  One character (I get them mixed up but whichever one Streeter plays) was raised in a unconventional way and keeps track of time in lunar years.  He has interesting stories to frequently "interject".  Amir's character is seemingly more normal, but often does stupid things, like losing the use of his feet.  They both act as if they are extremely well-informed while in reality they are completely out of it, and it make for great comedy, especially when combined with a game of minesweeper (which is a whole different topic).  It's best if you start from the beginning, episode 401.  Highly recommended.
