What's up Dude? No cap, this is one of our most rizz episodes ever. On God. I'm sorry. That was pretty terrible. These are just some of the examples of slang terms that David wants to go over today. Which slang terms have stood the test of time? Which ones really need a comeback? Which ones do you wish would go away forever? David will walk us through some terminology from the 1920's leading all the way up to present day. So join us on our most cowabunga episode to date. Okay, I'll stop now.

10 Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? 9 Should auld acquaintance be forgot and the days of auld lang syne? 8 Apparently that's something about two old buddies catching up over a drink or two but was 7 adopted as the (non)official theme of the 6 new year. Join the guys as Dusty leads a discussion on 5 New Years Eve and its ups and downs  including the 4 age old tradition of the New Years resolution. 3 From partying to Aggieville and the K State student union to having a shotgun pulled on someone, 2 we'll hear it all. Now break out the Andre and 1 lets celebrate! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We've all heard of the Hatfield's and McCoy's but did you know that it all started over a pig? Safe to say that things got a little out of hand. Blood Feuds is the topic on this week's episode. Dan wants to delve into some of the more famous of these special kinds of "situations". From the previously mentioned Hatfield and McCoy feud to the shootout at the OK Coral to the Texas feud that left two families completely destroyed, join us while we make light of all of these situations and more. You don't like it? I guess we're in a blood feud now.

It's that time of year again and David is feeling festive. Let's join that jolly, (kind of) ol' bastard on a sleigh ride down Santa Clause Street. Today we're talking about Christmas music. The guys are pretty split on this subject so you're going to get a wide range of opinions. Spoiler alert! Dan is a fan of it, David is right in the middle and Dusty..... Let's just say that he's of the opposite opinion from Dan. Including such classics as "Silver Bells" and "Silent Night" to the newer classics by the likes of Mariah Carey and N'SYNC, we're kicking off the holiday season in style. Let's go over the river and through the woods to this week's episode of Gettin' Sidetracked!

Obviously being the inspiration for Five Night's at Freddy's, it's time to take a trip to the past. Back in the early 80's, children and parents alike were captivated by two big restaurant chains that both featured animatronic mascots. Chuck E. Cheese's and Showbiz Pizza place. Now, after decades of changes, reshuffling and getting rid of the robots, the company (yes, as in ONE company eventually) barely resembles itself anymore. Join the guys while Dusty gives a little insight on the time line, the expansion from the West coast to the Midwest and some of the behind the scenes turmoil. Trust us, for being a "family restaurant" there was some cut throat stuff going on. So grab a slice and get ready for the show!

What is glitter exactly? No, seriously. We have no idea. Dan stumbled across a little conspiracy that the guys are going to discuss in this weeks episode. Someone is buying tons of glitter and the mystery industry does not want it getting out. Could it be something to do with government weapons? What about being used in food? Maybe it's something cool that I don't even know about. Either way, the guys are going to give you their sparkly takes on some of these theories on this very fabulous edition of Gettin' Sidetracked.

Who doesn't like a good Mafia movie? Fuget about it! Join the guys while David leads us on a discussion about some of his favorites. Goodfellas, The Godfather, The Departed. The list goes on and on. Where did David learn about the true meaning of fugazi?  What dumb trivia does Dusty have about Mario Puzo? Has Dan ever actually seen a movie? Those burning questions are answered here! We'll talk about all of that plus more on this weeks episode of Gettin' Sidetracked. Tune in or you'll be sleeping with the fishes, see?

Alright, hear us out. This is kind of a special episode for Dusty so we felt like we needed to indulge him a little. Gojira first stomped its way into Japanese theaters back in November of 1954. Since then, the giant creature has become a pop culture icon unrivaled throughout the world. When someone asks you to name 3 things about Japan and they DON'T mention Godzilla, that's a crazy person and you don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Dusty has been a monstrous (see what I did there?) fan of all things giant monster related but they call this particular one "The King of the Monsters" for a reason. Join us today while we talk about Dusty's obsession with the biggest movie star on the planet, Godzilla

Don't panic. We haven't switched formats over here or anything like that. You can't deny that true crime podcasts, tv shows, books and every other medium captivates and disgusts all at the same time. While interest really started climbing around 2015, we have been strangely fascinated with crime since the very beginning of the written word. From public executions to Jack The Ripper. Truman Capote to Jeffrey Dahmer. The public can't seem to get enough of the macabre. Join the guys as Dan leads us through a discussion on the fascination and effects that this genre has on not only the people directly effected but also the public in general.  No need to worry. We don't go into too much gory detail.

"PAUL IS DEAD! MISS HIM! MISS HIM!" That was the message that countless Beatles fans heard on one of their more famous tracks. Did you hear it too? Join us on today's episode when David leads a discussion with the guys about back masking. The audio technique that plays messages backwards. Some are intentional but others are gathered from fan theories, spiritual leader scare mongering and straight up urban legend.  So what are you waiting for? noitativni devargne nA? See what I did there? All this and more on the newest episode of Gettin' Sidetracked!
