Ryan and Dixon take a trip down memory lane and recall some of 2023's forgotten news gems. The guys slowly start to realize that they are pessimists and not optometrists. Oh and Dr. Fauci has a new talkshow.

Twas the week before Christmas and Ryan and Dixon catch up on the news, before a couple festive segments to spread some holiday cheer.

The guys look into climate change and the impacts our sun has on these changes. They then look to the facility known as CERN to try and understand the research and potential dangers to humanity. Oh and the rapper "Mashed Taters" emerges.

The guys ran into a number of technical difficulties and were forced to scrap an episode that will be rerecorded at another time. They quickly adapted and put together an episode from the barn in the backyard.

The guys give thanks and good tidings, as they discuss favorite foods, memories and ways in which turkey should be prepared. They field a couple of calls from family members, review some pertinent clips and speak with a butterball representative via a help Thanksgiving hotline. This episode should have an internal temperature of 165°.

After a brief hiatus the guys get together to catch up on current events. Dr. Fauci is set to receive an award for ethics, a camera is discovered in a gym restroom and the Triangle Motor Inn is conveniently located between the strip club and the barracks.

It's Halloween, so the guys tee up some stories and encounters with pumpkin spiced lattes. From the Wendigo to the walls of London catacombs, all these monsters crawl, and an Eagle Scout spots a Bigfoot.

As usual there's a lot going on in the news. From conflict in Israel, to Bigfoot in Colorado, we've got it all. Truth be honest, you don't become the number 8 name in news by accident.

The guys stopped on their way to softball for some pregame beers and to vent about money, freedom and some commodity policies.

In this episode the guys look into an interesting conspiracy theory involving the national emergency alert system, and the power sound may play in the way we think, feel and behave. The guys also peer into the dank recesses of history related to higher powers, sex cults and mushrooms. It turns out, all kinds of things can affect how your brain works.
