    2024/08/15

    Hey Stinks! Thank you sitting with us (for the last time for season one!) on the Wet Bench!


    It's the ELEVENTH Episode!


    Thank you again to Garrett for talking monster high with us, we had an incredibly time with him and hopefully our path will cross again in the future. This episode, we talk more about the Monster High influences as Owen goes in depth on what Monster High means to him as Garrett shares anecdotes of similar stories he's heard in his time at conventions. And we get a sneak peek into his newest and upcoming project, Gravestone Guardians!


    Thank you so much for joining us for the entirety of season one! putting this season together has been a true joy, and a huge learning experience for us both. Our understanding of what this show should be is at an all-time high and our understanding of how best we can sustainably run it is, now, also at an all-time high. We expect to be back soon with some short form content so you don't miss us too much. We do already have some things in the pipeline to get together for you. But season two will be happening., and it will be bigger and better than ever :)


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one. It's an interview, so there's none of our personal stories in this one which tend to be the triggering stuff (I don't know what that says about us?) but just lay back and enjoy the company :)


    Bret & Owen ~ xoxo

    Hey Stinks! Thank you for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    This is a very special episode. Not only is it our first ever interview, it's none other than Owen's childhood hero, Garrett Sander! Together, the three of us uncover the creation process behind a multi-media franchise like Monster High and Garrett offers a brand-new perspective into the creative process and shares his views on what Monster High went on to become.


    The second half of the interview will be coming very soon! :)

    2024/07/31

    Hey Stinks! Thank you for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    It's the ninth episode! Somehow! We're pretty tired. This episode is very close to Owen's heart as he formally introduces you guys to Monster High, to his collection, and why it means so much to him. Touched upon as well we have to unpack how frustrated Damla was to hear the Taylor Swift slander on the pod, as well as several example of what makes Bret such a good partner. Owen is so lucky (Bret writes these)


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one, but there is a short storytime from Owen concerning an old friend of his that lied about Owen being predatory towards him. this storytime happens from 1:05:50 - 1:06:40 incase you wanted to skip it! Thank you for checking out our content warnings :)

    #8 A Needlessly Thorough Critical Analysis of the Trolls Movies (ft Bret Talking About Experiencing Fun for the First Time, Owen's Memory of Glee Getting Tested and ~ FINALLY ~ Someone Wearing a Wig)
    2024/07/24

    Hey Stinks! Thanks for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    It's the eigth episode! Tune in once again for possibly our most chaotic half-and-a-bit yet. The subject WAS guilty pleasure movies. We don't know why we even bother trying to have topics for discussion anymore. We just are not that podcast. BUT, it's a good one! We fully dissect the Trolls movies and why Owen appreciates them so much and why Bret thinks there is much more to Trolls 2 than it may seem. Bret goes in-depth on how Bluey has guided him as an adult to enjoy life's smaller moments and how it's helped him genuinely find joy. Owen wears a wig and sings. A lot going on.


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one, there's nothing to worry about content wise. As always though, do check back next week :)

    2024/07/17

    Hey Stinks! Thank you for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    It's the seventh episode! After out impromptu mid-season break (Bret was ill) Wet Bench is BACK with a new episode! This week, join Bret and Owen as they struggle more than ever to remain on topic. As the title suggests, the two were MEANT to discuss live music experiences. They do, for a little bit, somewhere in the middle. Most of the episode is spent discussing Bret's hatred for the new Katy Perry song, Owen trying to steer Bret AWAY from the subject of Taylor Swift, and an outfit change!


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one, there's nothing to worry about content wise. As always though, do check back next week :)

    #6 Things We Hate (Part Two) (Sleepytime Edition) (Ft Spoilers for the Scream Movies, Distain for Family Vloggers and a Full on Fist Fight)
    2024/07/03

    Hey Stinks! Thank you for sitting with us at the Wet Bench!


    It's the sixth episode! Now that Pride month is over (thank GOD) we're sitting once again on the hate train for another negatively charged dose of things we hate. This time, both Owen and Bret express concern concerning family vloggers and the lasting impact on children, Owen reveals how upset he is with internet Doms who don't seem to want to put any of the character work in, and Bret struggles to comprehend how anyone can go through life without a single independant opinion.


    CW: This episode is a very laid back and relaxed one, but there is brief mention of grooming and internet findoms from 45:30 to 51:00.

    #5 Bumper Pride Episode! (ft the Answerless Question of Kink at Pride, Bret's Epiphany as to Why he Struggles with Pride, and a Brief but Impactful Fascination with the Tyra Banks Show)
    2024/06/26

    Hey Stinks! It's the fifth episode!


    Join Bret & Owen on the Wet Bench YET AGAIN as they delve into the commercialised and sometimees difficult yet overall wonderful world of Pride Events. Thoroughly, the two gay's dicuss their experiences and perspectives regarding Pride events, including an epiphany from Bret, many story's from Owen, and a deep dive into the question of kink and pride, including an explantion of why kinksters might have a far more nuanced perspective on consent than the regular schmoozer might.


    CW: There is extensive conversations concerning consent and kink in this episode. Additionally, from 1:13:30 to 1:15:35, there is a personal story from Owen considering grooming he experienced. This is brief, but he explains that, at the age of 15, he was led on for over a year by an older man, online, that he unfortunately met at a pride event. There is also a verbal trigger warning actually in the episode so if you have heard that and are now checking this section, please skip for to minute 77. Thank you for looking after yourself and knowing what's best for you; though our show is a safe place to share experiences, it's also really important to prioritise yourself and knowing what you're in the space to hear. Thank you, and do check back here again for the next episode.


    Bret & Owen ~ xoxo

    #4 Things We Hate (Part One) (ft Owen Tormenting Poor Pedestrians, Lambasting Straight Men for their Weaponized Incompetence, and Bret's Unbridled Hatred of Food Instagrammers)
    2024/06/19

    Hi, we’re Bret & Owen! Thank you for sitting on our Wet Bench!


    It's the fourth episode! Today we're taking a deep dive into things we hate and discussing (and occasionally defending) why we dislike them so. Learn exactly why Owen hates performative gender acceptance from straight men, or why Bret hates food bloggers, and why both of us (and probably you as well) find it impossible to understand why any working class people would ever vote Tory.


    CW: Althought this episode contains nothing of note or concern when it comes to content warnings (except if you hate hearing about tories), we will warn you that there is a fair amount of coloquial gay slurs (the f-word) in the last 5 minutes of the podcast. Do glance back here every episode to check if the next episode contains anything of concern so you can enjoy our show in the way that is best for you.


    Bret & Owen ~ xoxo
