We're back from vacation and ready to 'cast. Lucas reviews Taco Bell's Toasted Cheddar Chalupa (4:25) and we break down our favorite meals and shows from our trip to Peru. (5:20) The first fall shows get the axe and Clueless is coming back. (11:10) Our thoughts on El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (22:30) and the finale of another great season of Succession. (29:00) A couple of NBC shows Have Carlie Concerned. (32:00) Is Looking For Alaska the new OC? (51:00) Lucas' quick thoughts on the first episode of Watchmen and a look ahead at Mrs. Fletcher on HBO. (52:40)

If anyone has a problem with this episode, catch me in Peru. I'm out. Not American anymore. Jersey Shore news (6:30) and Fleabag catch-up (17:30). Has The Challenge moved beyond Bananas? Fall is life (29:10): The Good Place (32:30) and Almost Family on NBC (36:30).

Sorry folks, no chicken reviews or Jeffrey Epstein this week. 

You'll have to settle for Carlie and Lucas chatting pleasantly about Ray Lewis, the next Bachelor, Shane Gillis' short career on Saturday Night Live and Apple TV's surprisingly affordable pricing model. Lucas wonders whether Netflix's Unbelievable is a good show and whether Logan Roy will live to see the end of this season of Succession. Josh on The Challenge makes an epic mistake and Lucas predicts all of the Emmy winners correctly. 

Sitch is home (5:00) and Wendy's limps into the chicken sammie wars. Lebron battles Wyoming (11:00) and Rich from 90 Day catches a break (15:15). Florida projects (26:15) and Wu-Tang is for the children. We compare AB's meltdown to the classics. (39:00)

More chicken sammies (7:50); Our dawg AT is back -- #f***cancer!(12:10); Carlie's super into Jude Law and Borat (22:45); Old ass Dave; New Ass Challenge. (35:00). Kiki's back (54:20). 

Popeyes vs. Chick Fil A, older anchors (16:00) and political hacks, (25:45) Sitch gets hitched (29:00). Mindhunter (32:30) is back and Succession plows ahead. (36:00). Back To School SZN is in full effect and Carlie and Lucas pick our fave fictional schools. 

The Challenge is coming back with a long-anticipated team battle. (8:30) Food News features a dangerous new PBR drink. (12:45) 90 Day Fiance is back (21:35) and Euphoria wraps up. (34:10) We have a fiduciary responsibility to talk about Succession (50:20) and we wonder what the Happy Endings (54:00) crew is up to now. 

Lucas makes a great point about Top 40 Pop Music and really impresses his fiance. Then he has some more kick ass takes about Dan Le Batard's situation with ESPN (9:00) and the return of The Young (New) Pope. (25:00) Jersey Shore meets Old Town Road (38:00) and Euphoria is exhausting. (41:00) Carlie cries at the end of a show she doesn't even like.

You're favorite podcast fiances are back with a brand new episode breaking down the Emmy nominations (7:40) and the Bachelorette fantasy suites (18:30). MTV's Making the Band is back for some reason (34:00). We blab about Euphoria (34:00) and Stranger Things (38:00). #FREESITCH (43:30).

WOW - one of your favorite bits of Basic Cable has come to an end. Lucas proposed to Carlie and now she can't make him feel bad about it anymore. But that's not what's most important. (0:55) Jenna Compono gave Carlie and Basic Cable a shoutout! (On the paid service Cameo) (3:58) Without much TV to talk about, Lucas vents about Burger King (7:53) We chat about the lineup for this year's Jeopardy Tournament of Champions (14:32) Talk about the proliferation of streaming services and why it might just be cheaper to get cable. (21:53) I guess we're watching Stranger Things and (28:53) talk about the latest trippy episode of HBO's Euphoria. Then it's time to talk WEDDING with some of TV's best and worst nuptials. Someone save us cause we have VERY different ideas about what makes a good wedding.
