The guys talk vacations and The Last Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Buckle Up MotherF****** Ray's doing a Funyuns label deep dive!

Extreme Common Sense: Funyuns Ingredients, Trump’s War Spin, Gas Prices, Gerrymandering, and a Berea Bank Tragedy
The script opens with an ad for We Do Epoxy, then Tristan and Ray begin their “Extreme Common Sense” episode by reading Funyuns ingredients and nutrition facts, briefly explaining riboflavin. They shift to politics, criticizing Donald Trump for unreliable statements about a war involving Iran, arguing it has driven gas prices up (they cite $5.15 in Richmond, KY) and hurt consumer spending, including Ray’s bowling/entertainment business being down about $70,000 year-to-date. They discuss Netanyahu’s influence, the Strait of Hormuz, and say the administration hasn’t justified the war’s urgency. They cover mid-census redistricting and gerrymandering’s effects on primaries and representation. After sponsor ads, they discuss the Berea bank robbery/murder by an 18-year-old, a hantavirus cruise-ship outbreak, RFK Jr., Trump family profits, Democrats’ messaging, a Bill Greason story, and end with a joke and Reds/Mets talk.

Pete Rose, Politics, Anti-Semitism and Jokes!

The script opens with an ad for Tony at We Do Epoxy offering to transform ugly concrete floors, then shifts to Trizdon and Ray’s “Extreme Common Sense” banter about aging, listening back to their show, and fading sports passion. They discuss the NCAA tournament, including a Sweet 16 pool at their bar where Ray won $1,000 with Michigan and also won an additional bet, plus talk of the Reds’ strong start and attending games via broadcast-booth tickets. Ray recounts a Keeneland trip and losing a winning bet due to not checking the ticket. They touch on Afrika Bambaataa’s death and allegations against him, then debate polarized politics, gas prices, Fox News narratives, and the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz implications, including a story about Nancy’s boyfriend who managed Iranian-owned Amco franchises. They also mention sponsors, flipping and pawn ads, jokes, UFO/alien claims by a Tennessee congressman, Artemis splashdown parallels to Apollo, and brief baseball/Pete Rose anecdotes.

"Tristan" and Ray’s podcast “Extreme Common Sense.” They discuss Major League Baseball’s opening day tradition in Cincinnati, the cost and spectacle of attending Reds Opening Day, and unusually warm weather. They react to a Los Angeles jury verdict finding Instagram and YouTube liable for designing platforms to addict kids, exploring how algorithms drive engagement, emotions, and profit, and comparing digital addiction to sports betting. The conversation turns to Trump, war-related confusion, partisan media (Kimmel and Gutfeld), and the difficulty of productive political dialogue, including voter ID controversies and how polarization affects relationships. Sponsor reads include Berea Pawn, The Hourly Flipper, and thanks to production partners, and they close with jokes.

Extreme Common Sense: Trump, Iran War Debate, MAGA Loyalty, and Left-Right Extremes
Trizdon and Ray discuss technology hiccups, polarization, and the U.S. conflict with Iran, noting mixed messaging about calling it a war and arguing it contradicts “America First” priorities. They describe unwavering MAGA support, including RAY’s neighbor framing Iran and Israel through end-times prophecy, and they debate how Jesus’ teachings align with modern politics. The hosts critique extremes on the left (gender debates, participation trophies, smug moral policing) while stressing the need for a functioning political middle; Ray cites Norway’s no-competition-until-12 youth sports model. They question costs and hypocrisy (Hegseth’s luxury spending, war vs healthcare), mention concerns about unreleased Trump Epstein files, compare Bush’s wartime restraint to Trump’s behavior at a dignified transfer, discuss DEI, and end with condolences for a friend’s family after a funeral

The guys interview Democratic Senate candidate  Col.Amy Mcgrath to discuss her campaign and Last nights State of the Union.

Trizdon and Ray go old school politics
