Is It Safe?

They live! We are back but it comes with a twist though. Press play to find out. John Scott went to a party where people were still talking Trump after all this time. It turns out Scott also had to liven up the party. John is always down to be the pulse of the party if there is a void. We apologize for being gone for so long. We will strive to be more consistent as we head into a big 2022. Friend of the show Danny sent us an email and the least we could do is dedicate the rest of the show to it. Danny prompts discussion for The Many Saints of Newark, our media diets and what podcasts we listen to on our own time. After Lebron James lost his mind in Detroit, Mike wonders what changes could come if people cared about pressing issues that impact their daily lives instead of firing their local team's football coach. Scott shares his personal horror story that led to him leave his new job. You may not be surprised to find out Luke is pissed about something. He stands with Christopher Nolan and other top-tier directors who are against televisions with motion smoothing. Scott also shares with us a harrowing experience at Blockbuster in 1997. Mike watched Mythic Quest and wants everybody else to know how good it is. Give us your thoughts on any of this nonsense by emailing us at [email protected]

We're back in business and ain't it grand? No Scott this week as he is working like a dog. Wish him your best please. Did you hear there was a shooting in Boise recently? It's commonplace so you might have missed it. We cover pronouns and respecting people who wish to be referred to by a specific one. Where the trouble lies is at the workplace and especially in emails. Matt and Luke have found it very difficult to navigate this terrain without making a mistake. This all stems from Dave Chappelle's latest comedy special and the supposed meeting at Netflix with trans people. Alec Baldwin is in a heap of hot water. We had to talk about the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust, particularly because union labor walking off the set had a big role to play in this avoidable death. Chasing the Hollywood dream has always had an assumed dismissal of those who choose to follow that dream. We dissect this norms related to this. There's an Anita's Kitchen at the Detroit Metro Airport now which Mike mentions as he dives into the adventures on his recent trip to Arizona. Some wild shit went down! Life or death episodes went down on that trip. Plus Mike's flying phobia is always good for a laugh and Luke recalls the time Mike begged him to take him to the hospital because of anxiety.

Welcome to our latest episode. Scott works for a living now and it ain't easy. Most of us watched The Many Saints Of Newark and we give you our thoughts. Luke has never seen The Sopranos though, which is odd. These days movies in the mainstream are self-referential. The Newark Revolt from 1967 also has Matt pondering what a wild time it was to be alive in the summer of '67. The Cryptocurrency game is still a mystery to Luke, but the merits of the Crypto game seem very similar to going to the casino. Did you ever hear about the time Luke and Mike stayed at the Hooter's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas? You will. From there the show goes deep into the latest rounds of the MacArthur Genius Grant. Luke and Matt basically take over the show from there. Thanks to Van Morrison for this week's closing song. Give us your thoughts on any of this nonsense by emailing us at [email protected]

WE ARE BACK! Sorry for the delay. Life finds a way. Norm MacDonald died and we give him his proper due. Mike shares how frustrating it has been been trying to navigate the Canadian and United States land border. Scott went to the Phoebe Bridgers show last week and it was wild for him to take in live music. Unfortunately, it led to Ryan Adams which gave way to Luke's confusion with Bryan Adams. You have to listen to understand it all. Our pal Eric sent in more cuts of us from our previous shows and they made us all laugh like a bastard. Iceland approved the 4 day work week and Luke is pumped to let us all know how dumb our country is. Matt feels like the elitist lefties don't allow similar thinking lefties to express a slightly different point of view. What does a quality work ethic mean? Who created this value? Purpose in work can be fulfilling, but backbreaking 16 hour work days go too far. True or false? Give us your thoughts on any of this nonsense by emailing us at [email protected]

Matt, Mike, Scott and Luke give you the entertainment you crave. Matt ran into a descendant of a famous singer from the 50s. Child sexual abuse in the United States has some sobering stats that will freak you out. The New York Mets got into it with their fans and apparently they had enough. Denny McClain has a checkered past. Do you know why though? The finest game of the season happened in softball last weekend when Matt and Mike were away. Plus some asshole went bonkers on everybody. Have you ever heard the Susan Waldman Roger Clemens audio? Susan hates it, but you will love it! College football is getting underway, but Mike is feeling empty as the Dr. Anderson abuse scandal still has not come a resolution nor is it getting any local media attention. Why? Luke does not understand why you all pay to go to college football games when you could just tailgate all day instead.

Matt, Mike and Scott and Luke are fully engaged and possibly sober for this one! Miggy hit 500 home runs while Jack Morris is no longer in the broadcast booth. When was the last time you looked at a picture of Sammy Sosa? He has undergone a massive change to his appearance. The Woodstock '99 documentary finally gets discussed by the fellas. Limp Bizkit is as big as ever but Wes Borland has the greatest band of them all! Hunter S. Thompson was a just a regular writer in 1967 and he went head to head with a Hell's Angel on Canadian TV. We are pleading for you all to help us make the Al Pacino DMX covers album a reality. Is Scott Stapp a total scumbag or is he back on top? Obama has gone Hollywood, but Luke says Obama is still a college level writer at best. When is the last time you went to the library to check out some DVDs? Antoine Cromartie did recently.

Mike is busy as hell and couldn't give a detailed breakdown. So just listen to this and go in fresh. Email us at [email protected]

Matt, Mike and Scott bring their A=game for this one. Luke is kinda here, but not until late in the show. Matt missed the Tiger's game last week. Paper tickets are hard to find these days. When you can't get a hold of someone these days, do you panic that something is wrong with them? Our world is more connected than ever so nobody is truly missing these days. Dinger the Rockies mascot caused a sensation recently which reminded us of famous on-air flubs. Rod Allen was overrated as a player, but he was a legend in the booth. Do you remember the time? Biden's eviction moratorium is analyzed in a recent article from Jacobin as the guys talk about their own landlords and whether or not we can find a better way to provide equitable housing. Diverse neighborhoods in Detroit are hard to come by, but if you look around all metro areas in the United States, you see the same old unofficial segregated borders by each municipality. Cedar Village tenements may have changed since the old days when Mike lived there under the control of DTN property management. Are co-ops the wonderful utopia they are proclaimed to be? The word around the campfire is the current environmental disaster before us is even worse than we realized. Recycling is overrated too. We're screwed. Luke finally shows up after oversleeping due to a weekend bender. Luke gets to relive our incredibly dominant softball win last Sunday.

Matt had a special night with a special friend at the Tiger's game so it's just Luke, Mike and Scott for this one. Wade Boggs was a man, but he also was the first dude to hit a homer for his 3000th hit. How funny is Jason Mantzoukas? Very funny. Mike may have met the real Mark Holton. Or maybe not. It's unclear. The long awaited discussion of The Hunt finally takes place and Luke couldn't be happier! This leads to a historical review of The Most Dangerous Game and the various versions that came after them. The Nick Cage love has definitely jumped the shark. At least Scott and Mike agree. Luke has a Nick Cage pillow case. Today we also reveal a new segment called Sober Thoughts where Luke reviews previous comments he made that he possibly overstated or regrets. Any 30 Seconds to Mars fans out there? Where are you? It's been 25 years since Sublime's self-titled came out and Mike goes over a current retrospective he heard on Sirius radio.

Luke, Matt, Scott and Mike fire up the mics for more of the random chatter that you crave. Luke doesn't have an iPhone and he feels left out. Do you know how he feels? Jeff Bezos thanked all of us for paying to take him to space. So sweet of all of you. How many vocal octaves do you have? Biz Markie passed away and to this day nobody beats the Biz! Party rap and club pop can be challenging to define and the fellas try their best to give you a proper definition. Umpiring little league baseball is more pressure packed than you might imagine. John Scot finished The Sopranos for the first time and he has thoughts. What was the best thing you've seen on a screen in 2021? Inside and Ted Lasso get a lot of love on this episode. Everybody agrees that creators need to be paid for their content. That is made very clear on this show. The Detroit Tigers are playing great but Mike still hates Chris Illitch. Luke explains how he can enjoy going to a game and still loathe Illitch. The show closes with Hot Water Music's Minno in tribute to great friend of ours Mr. Ryan Patrick Liberty. 18 years later, his essence still resonates with us everyday.
