ATG - Against The Grain episodes

  • ATG: What's Hot on the 'Net? GOAT Nick Show?

    A lot of this wasn’t even meant to make it into the episode, but we said why not… DB wanted to show Ricky some hilarious videos he hadn’t seen before, so we figured we’d just throw it all in here because… why not?!

    After they finish surfin’ around the internet, the finally decide what is the GOAT Nickelodeon Show?

    Videos: (entertainment purposes only, we don’t own any of these videos/sources)

  • ATG - Boot Gang, Welcome to 'ATG Fest'

    The #InnernetsFavriteCuzins have had a rough few weeks… so this delay hits a little different than usual. The boys fill you in on why not only one, but BOTH of them have injured legs at this moment… (no its not just because they’re old… but that’s also not wrong)

    Also, they create their all-star lineup for the first ever 4-day “ATG Fest”! See who they picked to headline each day of this dream festival!

    Yerrrrrr

  • ATG - Still kickin’ it with DvBBs

    Figured since we were still hanging out with the newest member of the ATG Fam DvBBs, we thought why not let him hang our for the next episode, right?

    The guys rap about the worst Christmas presents they received as kids…

    A new game called “Trim, Bench, Cut”, (previously Start, Bench, Cut), now sponsored by Fresh Cut Co. Lawn Care! Per usual, it’s got some 90s kid, black folk flare to it! So its always a good time!

    They talk about some of the craziest things they’ve seen on the internet recently… which is always a toss up for something crazy…

    AND WE GOT THE RETURN OF THE WAGYU HOTDOG?!?! (Did y’all know its actually a real thing? Was DB onto something?)

    Enjoy!

  • ATG: "The Lost Tapes" #1

    Some episodes are fire... some are absolute trash.

    This one was on its way to being a masterpiece until we realized it was destined for the “Delete” folder… Or so we thought!

    Welcome to the first installment of “The Lost Tapes.” Every now and then, we’re dropping the “blooper” shows that didn’t quite make the cut. In this case, Ricky’s audio decided to identify as a robot yelling down a long hallway while fighting a case of strep throat. 🙄

    It’s still a vibe, though. For the OGs and the old heads: we threw in some pop-up notes throughout the video… shoutout to the classic Pop Up Video days on MTV/VH1. What a time... ✌🏾
