This week Louie joins while Chad’s out, and fate couldn’t have planned it better. We dive into Copperhead Brewery’s new “no dogs inside” policy and why it’s caused us to boycott. We talk about their other new rules, traffic rants, terrible drivers, Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein movie, and the latest on the government shutdown.

This week’s episode covers the massive Charlie Kirk memorial in Arizona, which drew over 100,000 attendees and stirred debate over whether it was a moment of faith or a “fascist rally.” Shaun raises the question of forgiveness after Ericka Kirk publicly forgave Charlie’s shooter, while Tyler sparks discussions on favorite proteins in Asian cuisine, the evolution of woke-ism, and how figures like Greta Thunberg shift their messaging. To wrap things up, the crew looks ahead to DC’s big announcements, including *Superman: Man of Tomorrow*, the success of *Peacemaker*, and the upcoming *Lanterns* series.

This week Shoky debates household cleaning etiquette, excitement over new tech discoveries, and the etiquette of parking in a cul-de-sac. The crew also tackles fun hypotheticals—like Alien battle matchups and the choice to exit a perfect world—as well as pop culture news with Cracker Barrel’s logo reversal and the latest in Alien Earth. The episode closes on a somber note with the tragic murder of Iryna Zarutska, raising questions about public safety and the justice system’s failures.

In this episode, we dive into the growing political divide in America and the rise of radicalization that lead to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We explore how extreme ideology fuels hatred, the impact it has on families and organizations, and what it says about the state of our culture today. What does “wokeness” really mean, and how did it gain such power? We break it all down and ask the tough questions about where our nation is headed.

This week Jefe is back and he’s brought along his best friend Scott to tell the grand tale of their nearly 2 week journey from Texas to Alaska and back again! It wasn’t just them though. Jeff’s father in law was the impetus for the trip. One last bucket list road trip to the Yukon.

This week we are back on location at FRANKENBOLTZZZZ Brewing Co to raise money for a good cause: helping support Kerrville and Austin Pets Alive! My normal cohosts are gone this week, but I have Brad and Jordan backing me up as we hang out with one of the main stars of the show: Jon Coleman! @joncolecomedy on IG We get into his comic inspirations, his growing up in East Texas, and how he almost gave up comedy completely. Later in the show we have the final act of the night: Marlo Ray, on with us as well.

Still without Jefe, the crew dives into Shoky’s Frankenboltzzzz tale, Corvette electrical meltdowns, and the ZR1 smashing Nürburgring records. Listener questions spark chats about seasonal shows, CBD/THC drinks, and childhood “culinary abominations.” Shoky reviews Alien Earth, Peacemaker returns with multiverse chaos, and the team debates Cracker Barrel’s redesign, lost restaurant whimsy, and Trump’s flag-burning comments.

Brandon Herrera is running again in Texas District 23 — can he win this time? The National Guard hits D.C. as crime surges, and we’re going live from Frankenboltzzzz Brewing Co. this weekend for a charity comedy event! Plus, we talk Sandman Season 2 on Netflix, RFK Jr.’s fight against food dyes and vaccine ingredients, and a disturbing “Whites Only” town in Arkansas. Shoky and Mrs. Shoky review Take Care of Maya, a harrowing medical documentary. Oh — and what car did YOU learn to drive in?

Texas House dems fled the state to avoid their duties. Can you eat a corndog and not look gay? Sig Sauer proves that guns CAN in fact kill people. and King of the Hill is back from retirement!

After what seems like a month we are back at full strength and on the regular day! Shoky, Jefe and Chaddo!  We get caught up on the string of celebrity deaths including Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, Malcom Jamaal Warner and more that we didn’t know about!  We also give a short review of ”Superman” by James Gunn. Did the new Big Blue Boyscout movie kick off the DCU with a bang? We liked it. We give our Good, Bad, Ugly and scores for the new Man of Tomorrow.

We had a ton of fun with this. Many many laughs were had. We end up with a couple decent discussions about the possible changes to history if certain Presidents weren’t assassinated. Also the ethics of giving someone who died as a child 10 more years to live.  There were lighting failures, unseen camera failures, and some very awkward moments that had to be bleeped out. Come join us for the finale of Episode 151!

We are back with another anniversary super questionnaire! We  have a bunch of friends visiting the show: Louie, Brad, Charlie and Other Kevin! You’ll recognize some of their faces and voices, but it’s Other Kevin’s (not Ben) first time and he’s jumping in feet first looking like a Sportscaster. This is PART 1 of 151 questions in the categories of ”Either Or”, ”Yes or No?”, ”Would You Rather?” and we induct 2 new AWKWARD OFFENDERS! Brad (Not Greg) and Charlie have been here 3 times. Time to face the dice!

Double episodes this week. Chad couldn't join is last time so he gets a solo episode. We catch up on "Murderbot" and "The Fountain of Youth" since we've both seen it finally. Also we discuss the movie ranking system. Anything below a 5 you can miss and don't care. 6 you will watch but with distractions. 7 you will stop what you're doing to watch. 8 you'll watch from where you catch the movie and watch the next play through to get caught up. 9 you will start it over, or get your own copy to start over. 10 you actively seek the movie to watch and can re-watch anytime. Chad asks what movies you can infinitely re-watch? And i ask if there are movies you will just immediately turn off? We also wonder what movie sequels are better than the first? Such as Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2, Aliens, Two Towers. Shoky brings up a theory about GREASE that Sandy was not saved by Danny and the whole movie is her dying fantasy. Do you think this theory has merit? 28 years Later has come out with significant updates to that movie universe. A movie we have been looking forward to; Jurassic World Rebirth, seems to be getting negative reviews even only a couple days into its release. Is it real people hating the movie? Bots review bombing it? Or does it suck? Within that same vein star of the movie Scarlett Johansson is tired of being objectified. Despite her appearance being the thing that got her to the highest paid actor of all time. On the flip side male actors, such as most super heroes, are also made famous for their looks. Particularly if they have to maintain a muscular physique for years on end to keep their roles. Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavil all come to mind. But that is acceptable. Unlike being a beautiful woman in Hollywood being cast for her looks. Is it hypocrisy or lack of self awareness? In US news: swimmer Lia (William) Thomas is being stripped of all his swimming awards as U-Penn is now banning men in women's sports after the Trump Admin threatened to strip funding from colleges that allow trans athletes to compete against females. The world seems to finally be correcting itself. In World news: Trump was called "daddy" by a foreign diplomat lead to the question: is Trump the world's dad? He recently grew so impatient and angry and Iran and Israel that he cursed openly in front of reporters. Just like an angry dad done dealing with squabbling children. There's been a major update to the Karmelo Anthony case as he has now been charged with 1st degree murder. And footage of the incident has been shared with a handful of reporters. The footage isn't great but it does seem to indicate that the story we were fed about self defense was all a lie. Despite this evidence the family is now asking for even MORE money from the public as sentiment and support is now turning on them.

We are back from a crazy weekend at Frankenboltzzzz Brewing Co for the Boos Brews and BBQ event! Chad couldn’t join us but we have a new friend who was there with us: Brad. We discuss the very disturbing direction Kevin Smith has been going with his movies as of late. Such as ”TUSK”, ”Yoga Hosers” and an upcoming movie called ”MooseJaws.” And you know if its a bad movie Jefe is going to love it. Speaking of disappointment: the trailer for ”The Sandman” S2 has dropped. Getting us both excited for a return to this show, but sad knowing that it’s all we get. Should Neil Gaiman dissociate from his work just so the world can continue to love it without him? Much like J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter.

We are back this week discussing the news we missed last time. Over the last couple weekends there have been anti-ICE protests that became riots especially in California. And the following weekend a nationwide coordinated ”No Kings” protest took place. Even here in our small city downtown was disrupted by people who feel the US is controlled by a would-be King.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. This week Shoky and Jefe sit down and talk about their individual struggles through life with depression, loneliness, angry, addiction, loss of self, and suicidal ideation.
