Chubstep

Steed is going full Waluigi with his mustache in this week's up and down Chubstep. The guys start with his fantasy of being Josh Allen's butler, and having loud friends visiting before getting to the main topic. Jrad and Steed cover all things elevators like a grandma and emo kid argument in front of one, why penthouses used to be the cheapest in a highrise, how Otis's elevator brake live demonstration made him a household name, a 'Steed Science' on how elevators are basically cars, a man getting stuck in an elevator for 41 hours, a women who survived a 1000ft elevator drop after being burned from a plane crash, a strike that led to self operated elevators, elevator tricks and myths that you don't know about, the largest elevator in the world, and an elevator special task force.

Steed survived a near death experience to record this week's episode of Chubstep with Jrad. The guys start with coming across a man with a gun in the middle of the forest, how to intimidate someone who is trying to kill you before getting to the main topic and Jrad shaving using a car's side mirror for a wedding. The guys cover why they're not going into the world's most dangerous game before getting to the ginormous illegal punt gun, strange hunting laws involving camels, the blind, and hunting out of hotel windows, the time Napoleon got attacked by rabbits, a future conservationist killing a leopard with his bare hands, and hunting the tiger that killed 436 people.

Steed is back with Jrad to talk all things Jell-O in this week's Chubstep. The guys start with Jrad's recent bachelor party trip with orange chicken at a fish fry and a psycho Airbnb host, and Steed having his hat removed without his consent at a gentleman's club. For the main topic Jrad goes through his 1970's Jell-O cookbook featuring savory lemon seafood Jell-O molds, the origins of Jell-O featuring a carpenter, cough syrup, false advertising, and the attempted sale of the company for a few dollars, the battle of the Jell-O cities, Jell-O involved in deaths, and how the military lead to the Jell-O shot

Chubstep favorite Trent Vern returns to tell Jrad about his more recent Las Vegas encounter including a surprising topless pick pocket before getting to his latest role as a Smoke Jumper. The guys cover parachuting to remote places to stop spreading wild fires, how to eat and sleep in the middle of no where, getting stuck in trees and break femurs.

Some people live so far on the fringes of society that they don't even consider themselves part of it, that's what Jrad and Steed are covering on this week's episode of Chubstep. The guys start with a correction on the Greenland episode before getting into why Steed's boredom led him to choose the main topic. Micronations and sovereign citizens starts out with the crazy people defending themselves in court, trying to use this excuse to get out of tickets, Mos Def / Yasiin Bey's trouble with his World Passport, the complicated beliefs of Sovereign Citizens and how it ties to Star Wars, a micronation made of concrete in the ocean that involved a James Bond level helicopter rescue, a high concentration of micronations in the Czech Republic including Anarchy99, when not paying your taxes adds up for micronations, Key West's Conch Republic, an island for the LGBTQ+ community, and a failed Scottish island take over

A good forgery can last forever so Steed and Jrad cover the one's that almost stood the test of time on this week's Chubstep. The guys start with Steed's recent love triangle/missed connection before getting to the main topic. For forgeries they cover a man who spent thousands on a fake stone giant and became famous nationwide all to prove a point to a preacher, finding the bones on Jesus's "Brother", a skull that shaped science from a mammal that never existed, a Roman emperor who found a very convenient letter, making millions off Hitler's letters he never wrote, selling fake painting to the Nazi's and when it almost backfired, and the revoked Grammy for Milli Vanilli

Want to cool off this summer? How about Chubstep's deep dive on one of the most scarcely populated countries in the world with: a history of disappearing civilizations, a shark that defies the odds of living hundreds of years and people eat despite being poisonous, a constant rejection to being purchased by the US, a hidden US nuclear base without Greenland's permission, no history of serial killers (although Iceland does). Before Greenland the guys discussed Steed witnessing another near death while traveling, and losing $50 betting on the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Championship.

How did a volcano eruption eventually lead to Lance Armstrong requiring everyone to wear yellow bracelets? Steed and Jrad cover everything bicycles and more in this week's Chubstep. The guys start with Jrad being a part of a real life horror movie and how wildfires are obstructing Steed's views before getting to the main topic. The transformation of the Flintstones bike, to the hipster death bike to the "Safety Bike", bikes in war, severe bicycle crimes and scams, the guys worst bike accidents, the disaster that was the first Tour de France, and the worlds most expensive bikes

What are the strangest ways leaders throughout time have died? The list is never ending but the Chubstep boys cover some of the oddest in this week's episode. First they cover if it is socially acceptable to eat popsicles as a grown man, being hired out as a Karen, guest Patrick Bertoletti winning a banana eating contest, and buying weapons as a joke. For the main topic the guys discuss a monkey bite that caused 250,000 deaths, when a nose bleed goes bad, getting killed by your human head trophy, laughing to death, over the top mourning, heading into battle blind and becoming a human leg rest

Will there be a part 2? TBD but there are so many wild diseases out there that this probably isn't the last time Chubstep's Steed and Jrad cover the topic. First the guys discuss the delay in releasing this episode, when hospital staff isn't prepared for standard scenarios, Steed's memorial day trip to Chicago with bleeding ears and a leaky air mattress. The guys then cover people convinced they're already dead, the dancing plague, the laughing epidemic in 'Tanzania News', the forgotten living statues that awoke after 40 years in the 1960's, and when ancient treatments like blood letting and maggots in wounds make sense.
