Their first collaboration podcasting was a [[Talk Radar]] Fan Extravaganza. Soon afterwards their podcast getting away from the [[Talk Radar]] name was Friends With Benefits. It was Friends with Benefits for the first 5 episodes, until there was another podcast that registered the name Friends with Benefits first thus changing the name to Random Assault.
