Episode 23: It’s time for Pride & Parody. This week, the boys celebrate Pride Month with their signature brand of unfiltered comedy and a heavy dose of straying completely off-topic.

Episode 22: We’re sorry, Gen Z. It’s a somber but hilarious realization this week as the guys look at the youngest working generation and realize we owe them a massive apology.

• Beardo Check-In: We play and answer the latest messages from our listeners.

Episode 21: This week, we’re dealing with the heavy stuff... and the messy stuff. We open the floor to discuss the existential crises hanging over our heads, only for the tone to completely derail when Jay confesses to a nighttime accident that inspired this week’s lovely title.

• Bad Driving Confessions: We expose ourselves and the dumbest mistakes we’ve ever made on the road.
