Apex Live

Steve acts as the temporary West Coast Correspondent while he is in California for work and laments his lack of interaction while in the porn capital of the United States. West Coast Walmarts, technical support, the Labrea Tar Pits, the HOV lane, and Airborne AIDS are all discussed as part of Steve's review. A major show announcement is made before the rematch between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez is discussed. SPOILER: We hate Max Kellerman. Following the GGG-Canelo II talk, Brad and Steve consider the possibility of Pacquiao-Mayweather II and why we desperately do not need that fight to happen again. Before the break, it's time for another Virginia Tech Update. In this episode, the subject is, again, criminal activity and the Hokies are #2 in the country. Way to go, VPI! After the break, Steve reveals the best place to be homeless before Brad unpacks his hatred of the self-checkout lanes and all of the reasons why, which somehow leads to talk about robot pharmacists, gas prices, why Americans rarely back up their big talk about prices they refuse to pay, Viking funerals, and ICQ. In the teaser of our new correspondents, Steve advocates the creation of the Apex Live Juggies and the purchase of a trampoline. In closing, we remind everyone that socialism kills. #BuckUpAndSayYes #WatchYourSix

From episode 014, Steve gets to ask Brad anything on his birthday and the third question brings about a lengthy and emotional response.

We get off to a fast start in the hot mic pre-show as Steve talks about being on meth when he was six, the ultimate Eric Slocum story is recounted, a Knight Rider ringtone introduces the desire to ride adult big wheels, and we bring up the Mandela Effect and the Sinbad movie that apparently never existed. It's Brad's birthday on the day of recording, the episode is presented entirely free of show notes, and the Phoenix is rising. Brad is in need of good things, Steve is looking for a new job in his current field while addressing the annoying trendiness of his son. In the most unbelievable moment in podcast history, Steve says that he does not punch hard anymore, and then discusses his new TV show to binge watch: Breaking Bad. We lament the premature ending of Jericho, talk about the best original shows that USA Network has produced, and name drop two '90s classics: Parker Lewis Can't Lose and American Gladiators. To close the first half of the show, we talk the ideology of Superman, Batman, and other characters in the modern world, before Steve veers into the area of massage parlors.

In the second half of the show, Steve has the opportunity to ask Brad anything on his birthday. The questions, and the emotional answers, are not to be missed.

From episode 013, Brad and Steve present their Top 5 Desert Island Women.

From episode 013, Brad and Jake Morris remember some of their best moments from section 103 at Mountaineer Field.

Special Guest: Jacob Morris.

From episode 013, Brad offers a final note of thanks to the members of his inner circle who have kept him on his feet during a recent time of personal crisis.

Special Guests: Dave Markert, Jacob Morris, and Justin Novaria.

Jake Morris, a founding member of Apex Combat and member of the inner circle, sits in for the first half of the show because Steve is stuck an hour away for work. In what amounts to two episodes in one, our longest show yet hits the ground running as Brad and Jake discuss bums, their schedule and drinking habits, and how the word can pertain to both the financially disadvantaged and opponents in the world of boxing that refuse to run. Brad briefly addresses the unintentional hiatus for the show in recent weeks, speaking openly about the adverse effects but without naming names. Continuing in the sports heavy first half of the program, Brad and Jake preview and discuss the 2018 West Virginia football season, rant about the stupidity of the current playoff system, ridicule Pitt and Virginia Tech, revisit the worst possible memory for Pittsburgh Pirates fans and one of the best in the history of the Atlanta Braves, and share some of their best stories from section 103 at Mountaineer Field. Steve is back in the studio for the second half of the episode, and he has had enough of bad days of work in a certain local area. He has also had enough of work in general, and does not hesitate to air his grievances. Dave Markert is called out for bleaching his hair and Steve discusses his recent family vacation to what he calls Hillbilly Heaven in Tennessee. Brad makes an official book announcement for 2019, and the perils of social media, greed, and the materialistic mindset are talked about in context of decision-making and the influence that we have on people whether we intend to or not. Steve compares being intubated for surgery to deep-throating in the most intimate sense, the words "Date Rape Dessert" make an appearance and the reason why is inexplicable, and acronyms for someone's name are presented despite neither host having any involvement. In the final segment, Steve vents his frustration with the FDA and their intrusion upon almond milk, Brad and Steve present their Top 5 Desert Island Women lists, and Brad closes the show with a thank you note for his inner circle. This is not one to be missed, no matter who you are. #WatchYourSix
