This week we are Chadless, but we will endure. Except for Jefe who is very sleepy.  Tyler asks us what simple things make us irrationally angry? He doesn't seem to appreciate country music. However it does bring up an event that took place over the weekend: The Trucktard Invasion! The bane of Shoky's existence. They came. They made noise. They got arrested. 

Real talk: when is modifying your vehicle too much? And what automotive st...

This week we have sad news as we discuss the incident that led to this show permanently boycotting Copperhead Brewery. We were already on a temporary boycott due to the no dogs policy. But after this experience we have decided that we will no longer give them our business or promote them.

Chado, the Vinyl Daddy, comes in late, but just in time to answer your questions! Corrine asks which of us is the most certifiable? Who has the w...

This week, we have returned to Mad Llama Brewing for the second Rank 6 Taste Test we teased from the last time. Being able to sit down with the people who make the things we are trying has changed our perspective on taste tests.

For those unfamiliar, we are trying 6 different craft beers from Mad Llama and ranking them according to our scores.  @JamesatWar  joins us again, providing questions about the brewing process, choosing wha...

The Winter Olympics kicked off this week, but the Super Bowl—and its halftime controversies—completely dominated the headlines. We break down the backlash, the Turning Point USA alternative halftime show, and the surprising YouTube live-stream numbers that didn’t match the mainstream narrative. Headliner Kid Rock also had people scratching their heads after opening with “Bawitaba,” then switching songs—and even his name—mid-set to ...

This week we break down the new Masters of the Universe trailer and ask the big question: is this live-action He-Man faithful to the original, or loaded with modern changes?

Tyler throws out a very specific question about bathroom schedules, and we debate whether anyone actually has a set “toilet time.”

Shaun gives two updates on his dad as they continue an alternative approach to his cancer treatment. Meanwhile, much of the countr...

Jefe and Chad are both missing on this MLK day but we have Other Kevin joining for his first real show! With the 4 year anniversary of the show coming up, Shoky asks if anyone knows the name of the very first episode of NYMIA?

We discuss Shaun's dad's cancer and the alternate treatments he's seeking. Why is it that modern medicine only ever takes a single route? Chemo and Radiation. People are discovering workable methods that don'...

We are back in 2026 with new look! Chad has a new hat to match the rest of us! Also, new seating positions and lighting. 

Tyler complains about self checkout lines at grocery stores. do you think if we use Self Checkout you should get a discount? Tyler also leads us into a discussion about boneless versus traditional wings. Some of us prefer our nuggets, thank you. 

He also gives a shitty movie recommendation to Jefe. "The Stuff" W...

Its the end of the year and we are all gathered at Chad's house to commiserate and rejoice at the passing of this oh so chaotic year. 

We talk about how we got here. Some of the best and worst things that happened to us. We have a couple guests join us: Candida returns for her yearly check in, and Rodney who is an old friend we are just reconnecting with after many years. 

Candid joins the offender late in the episode as well!

This week we wrap up 2025 with our End of Year Top 10 lists!  But before that we go over Best and Worst gifts we have received from significant others in our lives. Followed by Shaun gifting each of us something he personally picked out for us. If you know Shaun, that can easily be a trap for something HE finds hilarious. That's how you know he loves you.

And since the Shokys watched "A Christmas Story" and "Red One" this year, we ...

This week we are back with the big news that Netflix has purchased Warner Brothers, but Paramount chimes in with a much larger bid! Leaving people to wonder about the future of the DCU lead by James Gunn. Others see this as an opportunity to resurrect the previous "Snyderverse." But why do people put that the Cinematic Universe on such a high pedestal? Out of 12 (actually 16) movies 3 are arguably good or great. The rest are just o...

We are back this week and FINALLY Jefe has watched the correct "IT" movie so we can start discussing Welcome to Derry properly. leading to the question: could Pennywise have an effect on Forest gump?

We also have 2 news articles proving our earlier discussion about AI being used by pedos. Lucky the state of Texas is taking it seriously.

Also we have our first meme of the week!

This week we open up with some confusing signage. If you were in desperate need for a pee and you ran into these signs, which would you think applied to you? 

Shoky introduces the other guys the Baby Shark 50s Soul Version from Re:SOUL. A new favorite!

Shaun asks what is worse to have to fix for "old people": phones or TVs? I don't think Chad has ever spoke up so quickly before.

We discuss the normal movies and TV stuff we always d...

This week we are back but a little lighter. There's no Jefe. 

That's okay because we start off literally doom and gloom about how the Earth's magnetic field is destabilizing due to the magnetic poles shifting. It is theorized that once the poles shift the planet will actually tilt 90 degrees causing world wide flooding and natural disasters that we as modern humans have no way to survive. 

But then Shaun asks what the greatest Prim...

Back this week after the Rank 6 video. Chad gets to finally taste Echelon's Cherry Lime Landmine and we find out he has a history of cycling. Leading to the rant: cyclist don't belong on public roadways. Let us know your thoughts!

This week we open with a message from Shaun. He did not know we were going to play this message, BUT it was too funny to not share with you all. He tells the short story of how he had just injured himself while doing a Number 2 and smoking a cigarette. 

Yes. He did, in fact, burn his junk by accident.

After that we discuss normal topics, like what our most painful injury was. For Shoky it was when he had a bowel obstruction. For Je...

For the keen eyed viewer you'll notice that an episode is missing. Episode 162 was filmed the day before this one and will require more editing. 

This week the gang is all back in the Cave and Tyler gets us started with a question about video games that were so good that they ruined a whole genre for us. Such as Halo for FPS, Gran Turismo for racing. etc.
