    Steve's Stranger Things
    Jan 14 2026
    Zoning Out is back for the first episode of 2026! Jordan, Jason, and Jonathan kick off the new year by diving into the Stranger Things series finale (SPOILERS AHEAD). We break down what hit, what missed, and what had us yelling at the screen: the “volume” release strategy, the over-explaining/exposition-heavy dialogue, characters randomly turning into motivational speakers, and the biggest debate of all… How did NOBODY important die?! We also get into: • Why Season 4 might’ve been the peak • How the show shifted from creepy mystery to full superhero action • Vecna getting a little too much screen time (and backstory) • Nancy going full Rambo • The military being cartoonishly evil • And why Hawkins realistically should’ve been erased from the map afterward. Then we close with a Would You Rather that turns into a personality test: Would you rather have a “skip the awkward part” button or a “redo one sentence” button — once per day, for life? Plus: quick show plugs and cruise abandonment allegations. Like, comment, and subscribe (we just cracked 30!) New episodes presented by The Comedy Zone

    Walk Like a Duck, Talk Like a Misogynist
    Dec 31 2025
    The boys are back for a Hawaii-style year-end recap episode of Zoning Out — recorded not in paradise, but in Jason’s living room. We dive deep into Spotify Wrapped shame, emotional running breakthroughs, and ask: Do New Year’s goals even matter? In This Episode: • The team shares their #1 most-played songs of 2025 ( Casey Musgraves, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead – oh my) • Jordan turns Kendrick lyrics into a training mantra • Jonathan explains how spite and depression led to becoming a distance runner • Jason admits to leveling up his life — by reading audiobooks • A massive win: Jason makes more from comedy than film this year • A heated debate: Is New Year’s completely meaningless? • Jonathan gets labeled “the AI guy” and threatens to vomit • Jordan breaks the Would You Rather game (again) Plus: • 2026 comedy goals: recording specials, pitching festivals, writing scripted podcasts • A running playlist that bounces between Musgraves & Clipse • Jason’s long-awaited juggling finale… does it live up to the hype?

    Three Little Pigs
    Dec 18 2025
    The Zoning Out crew dives into everything from Christian university commercials to headlining in small towns vs. chasing dreams in NYC, plus a heated debate about whether the Three Little Pigs survived (spoiler: Jason was right). In This Episode: Jordan grills Jason for skipping family Christmas to work a cruise ship gig • Is Grand Canyon University even near the Grand Canyon? • The wild world of 55+ retirement communities (spoiler: they’re having sex) • Jason confesses his dream scandal if a publicist could cover it up • Jordan plans to blow up a Confederate flag • Jonathan wrestles with jealousy over bookings • The Big Comedy Career Question: Would you rather headline forever in Myrtle Beach… or chase your shot in New York, even if you never make it? Plus: Kevin Hart definitely didn’t headline at the Comedy Cabana • Bill Hader’s rise from Groundlings to SNL • Shoutout to Brandon from Wytheville, VA • Jonathan finally gets vindicated on the Three Little Pigs debate • The team teases their first episode of 2026 with top songs, comedy goals, and more.
