2021-09-22 15:23:35 +0000 UTC View PostO'Neil of course does not rise.
But this is Modelland's final episode. Per our stunt Mike did not read it so it's all in the capable hands of Conor, who, for the first time gets to read a passage to the poor bedraggled "little girl"! Loose ends are sort of acknowledged, the body horror ramps up a...
2021-09-17 17:27:04 +0000 UTC View PostJackal of the Month Nathaniel sent Conor a box of Tyra's SmizeCream. Will he somehow manage to injure himself while opening a box of ice cream? Watch and find out! Full tasting report to come.
2021-09-16 14:25:56 +0000 UTC View PostWe asked for letters and then you sent in letters and then we read the letters for like an hour. We're talking standup stories, novelizations, gratuitous self-compliments, KroftLand, and much much more. Plus, the reveal of Jim Theis' long-lost second story??? Check it out and judge for yourself: 2021-09-07 12:30:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Got a question you've been wanting to ask? Theory you want to put forth? Unhinged rant your family has learned to tune out! Send it in! Email us at 372pages@gmail.com with "Mailbag" in the subject line and we'll read the good ones before we both take some time off next week.
Doesn't have to be about Modelland! Doesn't h...
2021-09-01 22:38:58 +0000 UTC View PostMike catches Conor up on the the plot, which involves a lot of filth, sores, blood, detached limbs, wounds and severed torsos. In other words, just another Tuesday at Modelland!
As this is a Very Special Episode, we'd love your opinion on whether or not we should match it for the final episode of Modelland (we ...
2021-08-30 17:25:30 +0000 UTC View PostListener Edmund pointed out to us that we posted our first ever episode four years ago today. He was even kind enough to make us a banoffee pie. We hope it doesn't taste like Maxim.
I dug through the archives looking for something to pos...
2021-08-25 16:24:03 +0000 UTC View PostSwitching it up for next time and ONE of us will have to read the book while the other retires to the Maldives for a week of luxury and gherkins. Who will it be!? Watch and find out!
2021-08-20 19:38:17 +0000 UTC View PostA huge thank you to listeners Mike & Carol, who came to our VIP event in Nashville on Tuesday and had this sheriff badge custom made for me. Evidently the maker makes lots of badges for actual sheriff's departments, so it took some convincing that I wasn't going to try to actually arrest people with this. Now I just have ...
2021-08-19 17:33:41 +0000 UTC View PostOur longest episode yet - making it, clearly, our best.
A shocking admission from Mike and a HUGE announcement coming up! By coin toss Mike OR Conor will do the next reading SOLO!
Next Assignment: Read through chapter 40!
2021-08-13 17:45:34 +0000 UTC View PostFans of our theme song will want to tune in for tomorrow's episode for the first new material by the Pocket Operators since the remix of our theme song at our first, un-recorded live show. I hope I still have some vocal chords left to record tomorrow...
2021-08-12 23:03:31 +0000 UTC View PostMany great memes were memed in this contest, but two stood out, and were also the memes that received the most votes!

2021-08-12 18:21:30 +0000 UTC View PostTry not to laugh. It's really not that hard.

Please post a link to your finest Modelland inspired memes in the comments below, and then come back to vote for your favorites by liking them. We'll pick a judges' favorite, as well as the one that gets the most votes and send them a prize!

2021-08-03 13:34:33 +0000 UTC View PostEdmund sent this to us on Twitter. Looks like there's a new Wilhelm in town!
2021-08-01 14:57:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe underutilization of O'Neil is downright criminal: as though A Confederacy of Dunces just mentioned Ignatius J. Reilly and then moved on.
Still, plenty of good stuff in the episode, including a detailed look at Bravo, some disturbing "hot for teacher" vibes from Chaste over the half-bald troll-man, ...
2021-07-28 21:12:19 +0000 UTC View PostIn possibly the worst song ever produced that for some reason continues to be played, a man and woman snipe at each other over a terrible synth bed. There's a lot to comment on but let me ask this question: She was "working as a waitress at a cocktail bar" 'til she met Him but he claims her (unnamed) success...
2021-07-25 21:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostWhy? Because this mega-successful billionaire has been getting away with his chicanery for FAR too long! I think this mildly stinging rebuke by my family who generally like him should set things right. (Real story: my sons were home for a few days and I wrote this silly thing with them in mind because we all do Gordon Ramsey ...
2021-07-19 16:50:37 +0000 UTC View PostA testament to how weird this book has become: A "sloppy, love-filled reunion hug" is the most normal thing that happens in this episode's reading.
The Cronenbergian body-horror levels are off the charts but Conor and Mike comfort themselves with the euphonic Modelland Anthem, some Real or Fanfic and a nice dose of Dumb...
2021-07-13 21:25:15 +0000 UTC View PostTaylor, as promised, has uploaded the entire 372 themed Billy Joel parody album to youtube. We had never even heard of some of these *originals* so it was a real delight to hear some references to books past which we had forgotten. Go give it a listen then tell him how awesome he is in the comments! New ep tomorrow!
2021-07-12 18:35:58 +0000 UTC View PostYou might remember Taylor, a dedicated jackal who recorded a hyper-specific Billy Joel parody about minor Digital Fortress character Greg "Halite" Hale. Well, Taylor has been hard at work on a complete album of hyper-specific 372 focused Billy Joel parodies and we are pleased to share the first one with you here. This is "Air...
2021-07-09 13:38:16 +0000 UTC View PostHello jackals. Writing to you from my second to last day on vacation in scenic Utah. Today I lugged this two pound book three miles in 90 degree heat to a waterfall in order to take an ironic picture that may garner upwards of nine likes on here. My only regret is that nobody asked what the hell I was doing. Thank you all for...
2021-07-03 21:18:03 +0000 UTC View PostUnable to record a new Modelland until next week, but in the meantime, Conor decided to see how Lauren would do on some Classic™ Real or FanFic segments. With the knowledge that she has not actually read these books, will she be able to best Mike's performance??
2021-07-01 14:19:59 +0000 UTC View PostAfter watching Mike tote around a giant Tyra Banks novel for several weeks, Bridget finally gets to sound off.
2021-06-26 18:21:54 +0000 UTC View PostConor and Mike wade into the fever dream like madness that is Tyra Banks' Modelland but not before Mike gets his comeuppance on an issue of pronunciation.
And since no Dark Web recreators could possibly capture the insanity we're left with lots of Sonic Challenges, tons of Dumb Sentences, top not...

In this edition of Meet The Authors, Mike, Conor, & Bob speak to Wilbur Lee Sturgill, a resident of Appalachia who has turned his childhood love of a novelty store in the mall into a burgeoning literary career. We'll discuss his ...
2021-06-17 22:20:28 +0000 UTC View PostMike and Conor quickly discover that Tyra Banks' only novel is Cr8Zee! (Cr8Zee is pronounced "crazeee" because the "t" sound at the end of "8" is silent and the two "ee"s at the end are pronounced like three "eee"s.)
They soon discover parallels to authors Pappy Pariah, Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, Dan Brown, Ern...

2021-06-02 22:17:53 +0000 UTC View PostA famous person wrote a book so it would be rude of us not to read and discuss this person's work.
