Brandon has a real problem with a bale, Credere mistakes as bail and fun is had. Awful corporate ideas and programs at work. R.I.P. James Earl Jones. Baby shopping with Juvenile. Credere examines choices his family has made and what his real vice is. Amish talk; because many aren’t aware of their bizarre yet practical approach. Brandon talks burial plots and his penchant for previously dating 20 year olds. The episode is really dedicated to Steve Carell for being involved in every story.

The liquor license crew discusses the problems with LA during the ninth month. E&J helps reestablish this as a “liquor” show. The at-risk students that Brandon has a fondness for. Our days are centered around responsibilities yet we have two different approaches to dealing with the stress. The year 3 and 7 stages of being a LA transplant. Landrace strains.

We are Back! Bet Big! High Risk High Rewards or just live through our hot takes!! We Know our shit, mostly.

Brandon has it out for his apartment complex, the company he works for, the medical coverage in this country and the DNC. After the vitriol we talk Taylor Swift bombs and Ye listening parties (how very 2009 of us). Inspirational guys are aggravating, so is small talk. Suegro’s 80th on a lovely LA day. Shows discussed and reviewed: Interview with the Vampire (AMC), Mr Throwback (Peacock), and Bad Monkey (Apple). Brandon finally gives out his second A of the year for a feature film. Grinding, hustling and surviving the early days of our LA lives. Please leave a rating and review.

Brandon has theater issues and gets a new hat that is unwrapped on the show (great visual for an audio podcast). Los birthday and Marina Del Rey baby shower. Signing at Costco. The Creator, The Instigators, and Mercy reviews (none are good). Detailed chain restaurant discussion followed by gold medal basketball. Finally, Credere going to an academy and black fraternities end this absolute gem of an episode.

This is the closest you get to a live show, as it went up an hour after recording. Credere gets back from the Beast Coast and enjoyed seafood and the vibe. Brandon finally gets his sneakers after so many unnecessary steps. The real issues Brandon has with Deadpool. New Planet of the Apes review. “Reference strike out ratio”, new name coming soon.  We then discuss the youth not reading and how not having tactile things will doom us, as it has to last civilizations (yeah we went pretty deep into the amber on this one). Twisted Tea’s marketing scheme with Hugo, which then leads to Brandon explaining his shrink trip in fifth grade, that just the way I are.

Tyler Perry is given some credit during our lecture for new script writers loosely done through this episode. Why don’t whites use lotion? Paris Olympics are jamming and we discuss the opening ceremony. Why are biopics so difficult to do, with One Love the Bob Marley movie review. Deadpool & Wolverine (no spoilers, waiting for Credere to see it). The Quiz with Balls: yes that’s the name of network game show.

Throughout the episode Brandon manages to name 11 jobs he has had, see if you can hear them all. Why work schedules don’t work for us. Clipped sucks, just like the franchise. Watch Monarch and Cloak & Dagger instead. Jaylen Brown is not a Nike fan and some team USA talk. Brandon’s birthday: Cheesecake Factory in Marina Del Rey detailed a little too well, baked with the Beatles, Hollywood Blvd from 4am-8am is glorious, and funfetti cake.

Brandon’s birthday episode is a wild one. We discuss a different angle on this last weeks melee and RIP Richard Simmons. We watched Making Sin City and Receiver with some thoughts. Is ooo wee making us ‘noid, but we’re not paranoid? Awful gimmicks and mascots. At the end Credere gets a big surprise as do you, enjoy.
