Iceman is back to put everyone's Richmond Race concerns to bed but Yack immediately calls cap. Ace-J lowkey keeps race prepping but even he thinks he might be cooked after hearing the full weekend plans. Yack is on some X-Men, Star Trek type sh*t, paying respects to Sir Patrick Stewart DA GOD. Binance folded, the Knicks are chopped, and the Internet Invitational is still gasss. Comment, like & subscribe. GANG. (P.S. I hated writing this entire thing and have no idea what half of it means, please listen to the episode and make my sacrifice worthwhile. -Ace)

and does absolutely NOTHING... to calm Yack's concerns about the upcoming Richmond Run. Ace-J does his level best to keep up with the race prepping but the full itinerary for Wild Weekend in Williamsburg gives everyone immediate pause.

It’s Halloween week and things are looking decidedly spooky. Ace-J is just trying to keep the 8K train on the tracks, while Yack is already looking past Richmond to even bigger (flatter?) races in 2027. While the Iceman’s running future remains in doubt, we’re far more certain he’ll have bigger fish to fry as Crackgate plagues the iPhone Duo’s early adopters. The guys lambast EVERYONE involved in the Jalen Hurts fiasco before turning a critical eye to the just announced Jay-Z Superb Owl halftime show. Big Wu’s still crazy for Street Fighter, the MCU might be cooked, and the Atlanta Dream got hosed. Diss your friends, chuck your costumes, and listen to this instead.

Tight crew this week but nothing stops the mean machine, not with Halloween on the horizon. The boys lay out their plans for all Hallow's Eve, none of which seem to include the new Clayface movie. Iceman tries to whole ass his way into not one but TWO iPhone Duos, but the Apple Corp and AT&T have other ideas. The guys do their best to keep their Richmond 8k prep on track but a certain totally-in-the-background, nothing-to-see-here golf trip is quickly taking centerstage. (Seriously, place bets now.) But that would-be disaster might only pale in comparison to the ACTUAL on-screen disaster that is the Street Fighter movie currently roughing up the box office. The guys spare no expense HADOKEN-ing the flick into oblivion so spoiler alert... though if we're being honest, you should consider it a favor.

The boys launch into season 9 a little light on hosts, which leads to some interesting ideas for future on-air penances. Beyond that, it's all business (at least for the Yacks of the world) as the boys are less than a month out from the Richmond Marathon. But before the guys can lock in their race day gel plans, AJ shares details on events happening on race weekend that threaten both his AND the Iceman's participation. Of course when he's not sabotaging group outings, AJ is usually on the road, and this past week was no different. He hit both the capital of the Lone Star State, as well as the Big Easy, and he returned with smoked meat paraphernalia, wrestling koozies, and a brush with a minor celeb. The guys close by pondering sobriety, Kelly Clarkson's alleged dickishness, and a Dan Quinn-less future in DC. Hit play and see how long you can listen while planking.

It's a packed show this week but only two topics of substance: chicken nuggets, and the retelling of what transpired during the 2026 home opener for YOUR Washington Commanders. There were revelations and surprises that shocked even the most sober of the hosts. Grab an energy mocktail and have a listen.

The boys put a bow on their summer in the Batcave with all kindsa hijinks. There's another rendition of the now weekly mini show: "Which fake fruit do we hate the most?" Iceman fumbles the bag on snacks but Ace-J comes to the rescue, as the boys partake of the new Chicken -n- Waffle flavored Oreos. After the sugar rush, the guys (two of them at least) take a swing at the Tom Holland Challenge, consisting of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, 15 air squats, and unlimited regret. Understandably, their arms turn to jelly, which naturally segues into a conversation about JD5 and the woe-begotten Commies, as the boys embark on what may be the saddest home opener/tailgate to date. They close it out with a quick look at the state of the MCU, as Daredevil nears an abrupt end and the Avengers Endgame Encore gets the leak of all leaks. You could probably listen to this during happy hour at the Silver Diner and be perfectly content.

It's a lively one this week, complete with raspberry slander and conflicting views on artificial watermelon flavoring. Yack is back, and he's got a sack full... of Korean movie reviews. Things literally turn to sh*t when the guys discuss the Hyrox Beijing mess that continues to grow hair. They pivot hard to discuss their upcoming Richmond running plans and what they can expect come race day. With muted expectations, the Iceman and AJ recap their Puto get together from Week 1 of the NFL season. And they round out the episode lamenting the renders of the Commanders' new stadium and the waning days of their tailgate tradition. Seems like they discussed a lot but not really.

Iceman goes dry after a VERY wet weekend at the beach. The timing certainly couldn't be better, as his temporary sobriety lands on the day of the iPhone Duo debut, and our resident techie has all the thoughts. Meanwhile, Ace-J seeks professional help with his balls...his golf balls that is. And to say it was an up-and-down experience would be an understatement. The golfathon continues as the guys pour one out for the LIV golf tour (again) while toasting the newest TaylorMade athlete with a VERY familiar last name. They close it out with an almost-too-late-but-still-kinda-timely review of OBSESSION, currently wreaking havoc on eyeballs and relationships through the Peacock app. Listen intently but keep the lights on... for our sake.

Ace-J and the Iceman join forces to clear some space on the latter’s liquor shelf and well… it kinda popped off from there. After teasing a major detour last week, the Iceman finally comes to a decision on the Richmond 8K… and the answer might surprise you. The boys ponder the uncertain future of DC’s most beloved golf course before debating the value of a good ball fitting. Regardless of how you feel about that, we can all agree: Scottie’s a fraud, cell phone companies lie, and Tom Cruise is still a thrill-seeking maniac. Have a listen while kickboxing a Lexus.

The boys reconvene with a bonafide LOCAL CELEBRITY… in Yogging Yack. He pulls the curtain back on his recent profile on Business Insider while the other guys try not to fanboy excessively. Iceman test drives the much ballyhooed Starlink system, and the results might surprise you. (Or not… he’s pretty biased.) Of course, all of that pales in comparison to the Good Good Golf/ Callaway calamity that continues to roil the golf world. The boys deliver a full blow-by-blow on what might be the biggest sports marketing blunder in recent memory… and possibly ever. Elsewhere… the Iceman is ditching Richmond, the X-Men cast is sus, and the Reaper keeps taking the wrong ones. Listen here and THEN resume listening to Jolene on repeat.
