The cast, including new regular Katie Hill, discusses the best “I told you so” moments they have, or have not, shared in their lives, all while Jett tries his hardest to keep the show on the rails. We get self-gaslighting relationships with strange car analogies that turn into stranger scenes with worse relationship analogies, we get attempts to look like good people, we visit a well-picked hill to die on, we look back fondly on the political scandals of olde, and Josh gets some important advice from his dad crossed over from the other side!
Michael Tauzin hits our podcast studio to help us answer the question, “What’s something nobody knows you do, but they’d instantly say is totally on-brand for you?” Find out who gardens, who has a podcast, who talks to themselves, and who shows up to the restaurant over-prepared! We explore an apartment sting operation where the codenames aren’t what they seem, a restaurant where the accents aren’t what they seem, a support group where the challenge isn’t what it seemed, and plenty more surprises that somehow all just fit!
Jodi McGrath and Richard Anderson join the Super Legit crew to tell us what makes them feel old AF! From beach injuries to teen concerts, finding out what really happens when a Home Depot employee actually helps you to citrus-themed art exhibitions, this show will help you feel young at heart, even if your heart needs a check-up!
This episode is all about dreams! The unsatisfying metaphorical kind, at least. We crack into everyone’s longest-held, unfulfilled dreams. From musical instruments left unplayed (not who you’d expect!), to sports (poor Jett), to SNL casting (STILL not who you’d expect), we’ve got quite the collection of yet-to-be-fulfilled dreams! But with a visit to the world’s greatest guitar store, a cameo by legendary musical geniuses Milli AND Vanilli, and a trip backstage with a rockstar who might need a way out, we’ve got plenty of salve for all those wounded egos!
The Super Legit crew takes a magical trip as they reminisce about special places as children that felt, well, magical. We get libraries, bedroom lights, Dodger Stadium, the movie theater, and more! Find out about Heiman’s peculiar family tree, what it’s like to work in a portal library, and what a cinematic masterpiece Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever truly was!
Join Stephen as this week’s host and the rest of the Super Legit crew as they welcome Sammy Glicker for a wild ride through time and imagination. In this episode, the team dives deep into the past, exploring who they would reconnect with and why, leading to a series of hilarious and heartfelt scenes. From detective work at the scene of a crime to prison breaks and presidential duties, no scenario is off-limits.
Special guests Ben Compton (yes, another Compton!) and Sammy Glicker answer the question, “what’s the most ‘base’ thing you will always prefer over better options?” We dig into supermarket steaks, video games, manual transmissions, and much more while a forgotten sibling tries to get noticed, an H.E.B. transplant tries to get promoted, and a clown tries to get away with, well… you’ll find out!
Lydia Nelsen returns with some FIERY feelings about how she’s been treated by this week’s host (and always co-host), Michael Heiman. We dig deep into things we’ll never do again, from New Year’s Eve parties to questionable food choices, to what happens when your kids outgrow activities before you realize it. We plan playwright festivals in poor taste, consider unique reincarnation options, and decide just who Halloween is really for. This, a lot of host-bashing, and so much more on this week’s episode of The Super Legit Podcast!
This week on Super Legit Podcast, Katie Givens joins the crew to tackle the age-old question: ”What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done for love?” From ill-fated plane trips to mixtapes that never got played, the stories get wilder and the laughs get louder. Buckle up for a hilarious ride as the team navigates the choppy waters of romance, proving that love truly makes you do the silliest things!
Amy Bury and the crew tell us what they hope will be obsolete in 20 years! We talk about soda can technology, ren fairs, free ball caps, taking a 7-Eleven for all it’s worth, visit a deserted island where desperation takes hold, give Compton the greatest gift he’s ever received, give Stephen the worst recognition he’s ever received, and decide what every American needs in their home! All this and Jett gets told to shut up! A lot!
The Super Legit Podcast crew dives deep into the question: What tricks do we use to appear smarter than we really are? From repurposing vocabulary to blatant fabrication, the cast explores the lengths we go to maintain an air of intellectual superiority. Featuring a chaotic presidential debate, unexpected technical difficulties, and a detour into the realm of body disposal, this episode is a wild ride through the absurdity of human self-perception.
Bringing back another classic while we take a week off for Thanksgiving!
”For precisely one year you can switch lives with someone else. Body, skills, knowledge, property, etc. Who and why?” Lydia Nelsen answers this question the best way she can, while Rebecca Stevens answers... from another dimension! We dig into the intricacies of taking over other people’s bodies throughout time, seeing the other side of a relationship, high school reunions redone, and how to avoid a nasty fate.
In this episode of The Super Legit Podcast, the hosts explore the cringeworthy world of embarrassing parents. From awkward public displays of affection to mortifying outbursts, no parental misstep is left untouched. Find out how Josh’s dad found the worst possible time to show him affection, or how Sean Michael’s mother stepped up for him in the most mortifying but loving way. We find out what it’s like to be the non-secret son of a rock star, or what happens when you and your dad have very different beer preferences. All that and a final story from Jett that he’s already regretting sharing!
The Super Legit Podcast crew, with Stephen C. James at the helm for the first time, dives into a hilarious episode with guest Katie Givens.

Shulie Cowen and Norm Thoeming of Opening Night: The Improvised Musical return to the Super Legit studio (we totally have one of those) to answer the question, “What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever had to do as part of a job?” We hear stories of armed advertising photo shoots, Pizza Express mascots, overly anal restaurants managers, overly anal camp students, and lube wrestling! And have we mentioned all the scenes? Well now we have. There are a lot of them!
The Super Legit Crew brings back some of their best characters to read The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe in this Halloween 2022 special bonus episode, re-released for 2024 because we couldn’t top it this year.
It’s a Home Brew episode as the crew tells us stories of things they’re surprisingly bad at. Between dancing, quitting, hearing, and being in the spotlight, we get a lot of wild stories that lead into some of our best scenes yet! Find out what it’s like falling in love in prison and making new friends, how hard it is to be the entertainment on a cruise ship when everybody thinks they know your name, and what Batman’s real priorities are these days.
Two returning favorites, Chris Thompson and Will Reyes, rejoin the crew to tell us what their most useless talent is! We go through youthful looks, predicting driver intent, and amazing paper folding skills, and that’s just one cast member! Through cautious carjackers and colorblind cops, a Kevin Costner movie obsession, and two stellar impressions from an unexpected source, this episode really has us wondering just how useless all these talents are in the end! Listen to make up your own mind!
A beloved favorite gets put back in your ears during a week off:
The classic crew returns to answer, ”What’s great about being an adult that wasn’t even on your radar as a kid?” We talk through the literal changes to the world since childhood, participation trophies that we deserve, nerd culture becoming... culture, and explore a book/movie called Medium Women. All that and much, much, MUCH more!
