Is It Safe?

AI seems to be on everybody's mind, but what is AI really? Mike's got some new drops brewing thanks to his recent It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia binge. Govier thinks he fixed and improved Steve's audio. Was he right or is he an idiot? We leave it to you to determine if you hear a difference in his audio this week. There was a Specialist who acted as a drill sergeant who filled Steve and all the guys he served next to with a bunch of false inspiration. Nobody seems to remember the movie War Games and Joshua. Wanna know what Whopper Streakers are? We also have the story of Steve's first time taking hallucinogens. More trips down memory lane take the fellas to Panama City Beach 2001 where there was a poop covered blanket and gibberish talk from blacked out neurons. Have you ever played full functioning video game consoles while on a road trip driving? Do you know the difference between the Pontiac Grand Prix and the Grand Am? Luke finally figured out who Dan Le Batard is after hearing a quality interview with one of the writers from The Bear. Have you seen The Bear? Don't miss Steve's latest Werner Herzog impersonation! Govier and Steve rediscover a classic YouTube video to share with Luke featuring the legends of voice overs and the world of movie trailers. It's a doozy! We've got emails! Emailer Joe checks in with some follow-up thoughts related to emailer Dave's epic airline's logistics email from last week. This one's about the mechanics this time. Mr. Pink emails in about AI and which impending disaster will do us in first: climate change or AI? Alex the African Grey Parrot is smarter than all of us. Listen and learn. Whatever we do here, the Always Sunny clip about being blasted in the ass by Republicans or Democrats says it all about the limited options available to most Americans when it comes to government representation. Luke really has a problem with ticking clocks. Govier swallowed a quarter in 2001 while playing quarter bounce. He isn't quite sure where or when it finally came out of him. Jimmy Fallon gets on Steve and Luke's nerves very quickly when it comes to celebrity impressions. The weather is a source of frustration in Michigan for Luke and Govier today, which leads to complaints about how awful Lightning Crashes by Live was and still is. We love you all! We are very pleased with our little world that we have formed together thanks to this show. This talk show has little substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with I Love You Like A Brother by Alex Lahey. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

SORRY ABOUT THE DROPS OVER THE FIRST 30 MINUTES! They are partially drowned out until Steve mentions it. After that the drops are superb as always. Mike graduated from his masters program finally and Steve wants him to know there are night classes available at The Citadel. Turns out Mike interviewed former Georgetown basketball coach Craig Esherick there back in 2004. We have plenty of emails today! Joe just wanted to say hello while Eric emailed in a new audio addition for the show. That reminds Steve & Govier of Cabbage Ass from their old time Charleston days. The Clash of the Titans is also involved. Our pal Dave the pilot sends in a well thought out email revealing the inside story on what happens when your flight is delayed. What Dave has to say will blow your mind! Dave's email reminds us about how long it has been since there was a serious commercial jet disaster in the United States. It's never been safer to fly than right now. There was a place in the fella's hometown of Hartland called The Oasis. It was a truck stop where you could ask for mayo on the side if you know what I mean. Mike lived with a family he didn't know at all who housed him while he sold books door to door in Texas back in 2001. Luke has a lot of admiration for Michelle Yeoh's Oscar speech. Luke also realized how hard it is to do our show when Govier isn't there to place those drops to break up the monotony of Luke's rants. Sid sent in a great email filled with thought-provoking questions for all of us to partake in such as how do you talk to someone who is completely obtuse when it comes to climate change? Over the weekend Mike hung out with his pal Cory & they were saying that they have accepted that creating meaningful, tangible change in the Unites States is a lost cause and we should all try to enjoy the time we have on this planet with an eye toward donating to causes when you can while still expecting little to change. Ron Perlman got pissed recently and made some hardcore comments related to the current strike in Hollywood. It turns out Luke is not a fan of David Mamet's writing in his films. The last part of the show focuses on the memories of our friends who perished too soon back in 2001 & 2003 in separate car accidents. We miss our friends Brandon & Ryan to this day. The guys have a lot of vivid memories from that time that they share freely with all of us. We love you all! We are very pleased with our little world that we have formed together thanks to this show. This talk show has little substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with Late by Face To Face. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

Govier is out this week so there's no write-up. You'll just have to listen to find out what happens when Luke & Steve do an episode together. None of you emailed us either so there are no emails. We love you all! We are very pleased with our little world that together we have formed thanks to this show. This show has little substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with Eating by Sukihana. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

Steve spent the weekend in southeast Ohio watching NOFX and other classic punk bands from his glory days. It turns out that even punk festivals are filled with capitalists trying to make more than just a buck. Steve flew Breeze Airlines which is the latest failure in regional airlines out to make your life hell. Govier loves the film Sexy Beast, but Steve loves the banana hammock in the opening even more! Luke wants to share a clip from Pod Save America where you can judge for yourself what has Luke so annoyed. After the clip, Luke & Steve have more to say about the vote shaming that gets turned into a binary argument about third party voters giving their vote to Trump or Biden. Govier gets reminded of what 73's means in the ham radio world, which he has more experience than many who know him may have realized. Then it's time for your emails! And you all had A LOT to say this week which makes Govier very happy. Travis wants to tie a bow on this multi-week confusion about film composers. Then Joe follows through on Govier's request for him to email the show. Joe made up his very own homemade Immaculate Grid which is all the rage online right now. Join in and play in real-time! Then Sean checks in with more commentary on the golf courses are a big waste of space discussion from last week. He also wants to push Luke further on his Woody Allen perspective plus a final thought about Saudi Arabia taking over the PGA Tour. Then Mr. Pink is curious about the current Supreme Court and how he was living under a false pretense. Steve then shares a valuable clip from the podcast known as Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick that coincides with Mr. Pink's email. Then Eric emails about his shame related to a current Kevin Spacey project overseas that he is interested in seeing even though Spacey is canceled. Eric wants to know which person who was canceled didn't deserve it? Does anybody on the show have someone in mind? Finally Dave emails us to make sure we talk about Blair's basement one more time. We love you all! We are very pleased with our little world that together we have formed thanks to this show. This show has little substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with The Decline by NOFX. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

We come right out with our lone email for the week with Travis who wants to know how we would spend the day with Werner Herzog. The tragic loss of a billionaire and some other peeps in the Titanic OceanGate sub is absolutely the fault of the OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. Ricky Wood is a funny guy who was in Confess, Fletch which Mike enjoyed, but Luke loathed. Anthony Fauci has a complicated past beyond just Covid stuff. Jim Breuer has changed a great deal since the days of Goat Boy. The PGA Tour accepted the Saudis into their tour as investors. Does it matter? Is the Saudi Arabian government any worse in their actions over history than the government of the United States? Nobody seems to care if Saudi money infiltrates every avenue of the economy. Jason Alexander has issues apparently. It all starts with the McDLT in 1985 but he also has derogatory things to say about the game of Cricket. Jerry Seinfeld loathed Mitzi Shore who owned the Comedy Store stand-up until she died in 2018. Seinfeld may be a very petty dude. Govier is excited because the NBA Draft was Thursday night (fast forward Dave & Eric) and Victor Wembanyama is the future of humankind. Black Mirror is so good that Luke and Mike had to turn it off before. Luke compared it to watching Brawl In Cell Block 99 & Dragged Over Concrete back to back. Mike has some Central Michigan University memories of his long lost roommate Ron. Thanks to him the Xzihibit classic Paparazzi was introduced to Govier's world. Then there is plenty of Papa Roach & Magic Man. We love you all! Really! We are very pleased with our little world that together we have formed thanks to this show. This show has no substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with The Guillotine by The Coup.

We've noticed we start off each show kind of sluggish so we throw to Kriss Kross to Warm It Up! Did you ever wear your clothes backwards? Govier remembers a terrible movie from 2001 called Killer Bud with Robert Stack as The Gooch. Cue the Unsolved Mysteries theme! Luke is a passionate fan of the movie Ravenous, but he could not recall the main theme from the film's score. Pat Robertson bit the big one and it's about damn time that homophobe left this plane of existence. When will Henry Kissinger die? Cormac McCarthy also hit the high road. Luke loves him, but Steve was more curious about Werner Herzog reading McCarthy's work in his silly Herzog voice. Silvio Berlusconi is dead too! Why did any Italians mourn him in the streets?! And Bunga Bunga will always be connected to Joe Versus The Volcano for Govier. Steve's mom burned VHS tapes and vinyl records when he was younger. She was definitely committed to her obsession. This leads to an overall frustration with the people we love who are locked in on their beliefs without any doubt on their face as they push the word of the people who proselytized them. We read your emails! We have two each from Mr. Pink & Christian! Thank you for the curiosities and questions you offer each episode. Mike is pissed because the term rotting has taken off on TikTok lately while the original rotting, burning people were Mike & Steve. Mr. Pink wants to know how to unwind when he has time off work. Steve and Luke are fine getting hammered on booze but the teetotaler Govier demands more. Also, what's your favorite Smoke? Porn is not a part of Mike's life anymore, but in the 2000's Mike was depressed and downloading a lot of porn before it became even more accessible last decade. The pixie cut of the 90's has apparently become the haircut of the modern day Karens? Remember the novel Snow Crash from the early 90's? It's a science fiction novel that Steve thinks may be the impetus for Facebook's garbo Metaverse. Also Trump was indicted and nobody cares here because what does it matter when he's running for president from the can? It's all trash. We love you all! Really! We are very pleased with our little world that together we have formed thanks to this show. This show has no substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with Fear And Trembling by Gang Of Youths. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

SMOKE! Watch out for that Canadian smoke! There is a lot of fear right now. Why is Oliver Stone the way he is? Luke has a solid theory as to why. Great emails make a great show! Our pal chimes in about which fast food items that are no longer available are missed the most. Hootie did a song about chicken sandwiches for Burger King. Do you recall that gem? That leads Mike & Steve to laugh about Cold Dead Hand by Jim Carrey for Funny Or Die. Mike used to hit up Murderer's Row on the west side of Ann Arbor and has a quality tip for all you fast foodies. Travis has a curiosity about cartoon babes and which ones tickle the fancy of your venerable hosts. Was Krang a ripoff of Quatto? Watch Total Recall again and it may be obvious now. Our friend Dave who was not a fan of the sports talk on the show decides to email in so he can dictate the focus of the show. It's an impressive trick by a wily veteran. Anyways, there is a whistleblower who is calling out the government in relation to alien life forms and other extra terrestrial ongoings. This gets Steve fired up and he may have topped his John Eastman breakdown from last week with this one! Luke also has one of those stories about seeing stuff in the sky at night. Doesn't everybody have one? We love you all! Really! We are very pleased with our little world that together we have formed thanks to this show. This show has no substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with Aliens Exist by Blink-182. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

What a Memorial Day weekend holiday that was! We're back now with the full crew and even though Luke is confused about whether we can hear him or not, we bring you a solid talk show. Your emails have been patiently waiting for us in the IIS inbox. We dive into them right away with the first email dealing with the cliffhanger from the last episode relating to previous guest host Travis and his comments about Luke being vocally harsh toward the so-called American liberals. Luke gives it to you straight as he always does and we hope everybody is better off because of him. Steve has a great sermon about a man known as John Eastman and why we should all be familiar with his efforts to help Donald Trump's attempted coup. Emailer Joe has a couple doozy emails for us with one of the focal points relating to reaction videos and why they are popular. It turns out everybody on the show has had personal reactions to videos presented to one another. We're definitely not above anyone else in that arena. Just remember: Hey! You're part of it. Govier remembers a time back in 2004 when a single CD-R or DVD-R could harness a library of digitized videos all in one place. This was back before YouTube existed. It turns out nostalgia is not just an annoying centerpiece in modern pop culture, but it's also a tool used by the corporate power structure to maintain our attention so we don't stop and take a look around. We get a taste of what the musical artist Ren is all about. Another one of Joe's emails is curious about the use of Scandinavian countries as talking points in politics. Steve nails down a great point about Social Security being an example of our refusal to give up entitlements once we get him. Do not miss this part of the show! Mike's going to do a newsletter still but nobody believes him. We have a new emailer! Welcome to the party Karl! Willie Nelson did a Secrets segment on Conan O'Brien but nobody can find the clip online. Mike wants to know if Hannah Gadsby is funny or not which leads to a Tig Notaro debate for some reason. What's more fun than looking at reviews online and in particular one star reviews from some of the most beautiful places in the world. Steve has experience in this realm and shares his stories. We're also being screwed by Spotify. Some AI generated clips show has taken our exact show title on Spotify and we cannot be found on Spotify's search. Totally bogus! Please rate us 5 stars on Spotify if you can find us. We need to take these scumbags down! We love you all! Really! We are very pleased with our little world that together we have formed thanks to this show. This show has no substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with Ain't With Being Broke by the Geto Boys. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

Remember Erb Lumber? What about high school parties with alcohol and people who were overly dramatic? Steve has some guest spots on other pods you should be aware of. Luke has a direct response to our friend and previous guest host Travis who indirectly commented at the end of a recent Cinema 9 episode with Mike and Steve that was recorded just prior to recording this episode. Luke assumes his annoyance with the so-called right wing is implied. Yet, Luke isn't universally locking in the same label on every Trump lover or all Republicans. The Detroit Pistons were screwed by the San Antonio Spurs once again. This time losing the NBA Draft Lottery and falling all the way to the 5th pick. Bogus. Cue the NBA On NBC music! Steve recalls Conan O'Brien's Secrets bit from his show back in the 90s. We read your emails like we always do every week because it's the highlight of the show! Our lone email this week spurs a lot of different discussion points that go off on their own tangents. New emailer Joe brings the funk this week and wants to know if we make the effort to separate the art from the artist? Like R. Kelly or Woody Allen. We learn that Joe's wife loves getting jiggy with it. Luke reminds us that we don't have a clue what these so called celebrities do in private. Just because we hear a story about a famous person doesn't mean it's an unassailable fact. Right? Steve is reminded of the 90s vowel free lead singer after he brings Jesus Ranch by Tenacious Our show name isn't just a clever title. We try to follow the code of open and honest conversation without unsubstantiated judgment. Pat Mcafee has signed with ESPN and Steve just keeps referring to him as the former Colts punter repeatedly. Steve thinks Dave Chappelle is an edge-lord now and not the master comic he once was. We love you all! Really! We are very pleased with our little world that we all together have formed thanks to this show. This show has no substance to it without you listening and emailing. We close the show with Linewleum by NOFX & Avenged Sevenfold. If any of our nonsense provokes your thoughts, please share them with us at [email protected]

Greetings! Steve, Luke and Govier start with a newsletter than nobody had talked about prior to the show. Should the fellas do a newsletter? Govier had a stepdad that imparted a bogus behavioral routine upon him. What the hell was The MacLaughlin Group?! What about Ryan White? Remember when AIDS was put into every television storyline at some point in the 1990s. Steve shared the voicemails he talked about last week. Luke and Govier voicemails are a blast from the past! Southern drawls can be hours of entertainment as this week's show proves. The Oakland Athletics broadcaster said the word that nobody should EVER say anywhere plus he said it on live TV! It's a total nightmare. Jordan Neely was murdered by a Marine in the subway of New York City recently. The media is running with the classic buts, but there is a point to why this story matters in a genuine way. Govier is hopeful after the police in Windsor, Ontario will now be riding with professional nurses on weekend shifts to help with the overdose crisis in the city. Harry Belafonte and Gordon Lightfoot have died recently. Both left quality pieces of themselves behind that we should all be grateful for. Of course we read your emails! Eric wants to complain about how terrible The Dark Knight Rises script was! Eric is pissed! Luke is also pissed! Danny wants to talk Lions NFL Draft. Govier is now heavily focused on the Writer's Strike and the possible fallout from it. Luke is displeased because Biden called all ofus deadbeats. Not cool! The fellas also dream of a Hunter Biden focused you are not the father Maury Povich episode. We love you all! We close the show with Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos.
