We're back with an abbreviated new episode after a three-year COVID nap, recording live at the Apex Combat Sports training facility. Steve has new tattoos, we take a peek at where we've been, and there's tons of gibberish emanating from the BJJ mats near our recording spot. Jim Ashley calls in with XFL information and a teaser for what he will have to say on Episode 25 and, yes, we have another Virginia Tech Update.
We're back. We're glad you are, too. Episode 25 will be here soon, and you won't want to miss it.
Special Guests: Dave Markert and Jim Ashley.
Social media is cancer, the impeachment circus is over, Justin Novaria and Jim Ashley join us as guests, Florida Man strikes again, a flasher in Texas lost a game of Freeway Frogger, we get a first-hand account of the XFL experience, someone in Michigan thought it would be a good idea to invite Hitler to dinner, and we have another Virginia Tech Update. Join us for that and much more on episode 23 of Apex Live!
Special Guests: Jim Ashley and Justin Novaria.
Joining us for some random commentary on a variety of subjects, friend of the show and frequent contributor Justin "TeddyBear" Novaria reveals some interesting things about himself... and a few things that we never asked to know.
Special Guest: Justin Novaria.
A compilation of some of the best moments from the first eight episodes of Apex Live.
Special Guests: Dave Markert and Tammy Markert.
We're back, and we have a lot to talk about. For the first time in a while, the episode title is uttered right out of the gate as we figure out the true meaning of Pandora's box. We discuss where we've been, what we've been up to, and how the Thanksgiving holiday was spent. Steve has avoided winning the lottery because of the "lottery curse". We discuss God's little reminders to stay on-point, how coincidence does not exist, and why it's so much worse to hear "wait" than to hear "no". We discuss the insanity of Black Friday and the twisted mentality that feeds it. Brad offers an update on one of the members of his Desert Island Five and enlightens the audience to the wonders of the GoldenBoy and we say goodbye to two 80s music icons: Ric Ocasek and Eddie Money. Before the segment break, we check in with OJ Simpson on Twitter and his first video is absolutely terrifying... and we have another Virginia Tech Update. Following the break, good friend, world traveler, and sponsor of the show, Jim Ashley, joins us on the show to discuss his travels to Canada and Australia, his strange affinity for the Canadian Football League, the first-season failures of Dana Holgorsen, minor league hockey, and the preliminary decision of the NCAA to allow athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness. Before Jim departs, we present our Top 5 Fast Food Joints (not including pizza establishments). As we close the show, Brad bids farewell to a friend that passed away and reflects on the reminders that these things bring to life. #WatchYourSix

Recording live on-location at the Gough Hazard in Parkersburg, West Virginia, the long hiatus is finally over. The episode begins with life updates from Steve and, in-person this time, Justin Novaria, resulting in speculation that someone has a family member that could be a drug mule. Somehow, Top Gun is confused with Days of Thunder. Steve hates Nickelback and not because it's trendy. We link Justin's birth to Desert Storm, discuss the reasons why we are recording away from the studio at an event, and make reference to MST3K. You will just have to listen to understasnd the context of the term "Beard Miracle Gro", Steve offers an interesting biological theory, Justin explains medical supplies and finds out that he isn't getting anything for Christmas. Out of nowhere, we solve T-Bear's cell phone data problems, Steve met a boxing legend while he was in the Virgin Islands for work, and we debate the best Hawk. Notre Dame sucks, and we're all frustrated about the fact that rebuilding the Notre Dame Cathedral was such an unnecessary priority. Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland are frauds and we want everyone to know that we know it. T-Bear knows far too much about foreign currencies, namely Armenian. Justin and Steve compare notes on porn and comedy. Coming out of the break, Justin learns a valuable live lesson and one of the rules of the show: If the headphones are on, it's fair game. Justin has a thing for Bec Rawlings and we learn that Steve pregames, but not for drinking, before the two compare porn notes for the second time. We have tons of respect for Teddy Atlas and Joe Goossen. Steve wanted a handy while he was in LA but his request was denied and Justin likes Chrissy Teigen. We close with a tip of the cap to a couple of figures from the Boxing Unfiltered board. It's good to be back.
But, no matter what happens, none of us got fired as police chief in Rainelle.

"I did not think I would hear the term 'Viking Skank' today." Steve decides that Hilary Swank is a female Willem Dafoe but without the acting chops. The start of the show catches Steve a little off-guard, and he wonders what animal has the deepest throat before ultimately deciding on his ex-wife. Steve also offers some wise words to the listeners: "If it's not getting you laid or getting you paid, you need to stop doing it." Can't argue with that. A spam email produces a coupon that seems mildly inappropriate, and we decide that "rubbers" or "jimmies" is funnier than "condoms". Our friend, sponsor, and frequent contributor Jim Ashley chimes in with a guest commentary submission. The reality of the 50 Shades series is discussed (SPOILER ALERT: It's not BDSM, it's assault and battery). Meanwhile, Brad absolutely refuses to watch Brokeback Mountain, despite Steve's insistence that it's a comedy and not a drama, and Steve discovers a new way to describe Godzilla's (or Godzirra's) son. We learn that a naked owl looks like it's been on meth but wonder if owls are immortal. AOC is saying stupid things again and we're all over it, just like Steve would be all over her if the scenario and proper motivation were presented. Steve enlightens us on the be-all-end-all universal fix for broken phones, we wonder if Ross Perot is dead (he's not) or if it's the Mandela Effect, and we have an honest discussion about cops. "It would behoove you to get this taken care of." This episode's Virginia Tech Update involves the sadness of the necessity of buying an extra game against Marshall just to gain bowl eligibility. "There is nothing sweeter than the tears of a Hokie." "It's a grandma's arm on the front of his face." "Fucking Black Elvis. That's awesome." Brad offers a small writing update and discusses the merits of the TV show "Renegade". We wrap up with a discussion of the beach and hope for the new year. All this and more in episode 19!
