  • A Most Credible Episode

    Hitman's internet was down, so it ended up being Maverick running this week's episode. #blessed to be joined by Cowboy Dan, the smartest guy we know, to talk about the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, an event which surprised no one but Pringles himself. Less goofing, but plenty of knowledge dropped on this episode. We wrap up with a talk on the future of Taiwan and US aid to Ukraine. Dan leaves us with a few recommendations on resources to get smart on the issues: Putin's World by Angela Stent and 60 Minutes' segment with the head of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Drinking game for the ep: take a shot every time Maverick says "uh".

  • AI Hits Social Media, promptly forms gangs

    Title is fake news, but we're getting good at that. Hitman and Maverick go rapid fire on AI, social media, memes, some Ukraine, some China, BRICS, and a lil Africa. They get tricked into sharing some fake news before talking some Prigozhin's future. Recording ended 30 min before his plane was shot down, we had nothing to do with it. If you're down for a bit of a hacky rant about how derivative movies and shows are these days, stick with this ep till the end! Also please give us a follow on IG @politicallychargedmischief or Reddit @PCMPod to chat with your fav hosts and enjoy some low-quality memes

  • Ep 9.5: Q&A with the fans
    Ok we lied, just one fan. Meg joins Goose and Maverick to ask some hard hitting questions. Took a few tries to get past the podcast nerves for the newbies but we got there with some help from our friends. If you want to know more about Taylor Swift, Afghanistan, the worst place to visit as an American, or Kanye, this is your bonus episode. Grab a drink with the crew (Millers for Goose and Mav, Tito’s for Meg) and enjoy another round of idiocy

  • Thicc and loaded with ERA briccs

    Hitman and Maverick are joined this week by Goose for a special guest episode this week! Drinking game for the listeners: each time the topic changes based on a single word or phrase in the previous sentence, take a shot. This week, we cover all the important topics, including the coup in Africa (pick a country), Australian dentists, Amy's Burritos (we have a plan to save the company), homeless quests, WarThunder leaks, and anything else under the sun. Grab a drink and enjoy the cast (and excuse the connection issues/edits)

  • Pyongyang by Morning

    The boys are back and just educated enough to be dangerous. Hitman really turns it up this episode after hearing about the kerfuffle in the EU and spills some quality facts on the Falklands War. Maverick attempts to stumble through the deets of the 6-Day War with regular fact checks (Jamie, pull that up for us.) The fellas really hit their stride talking through just how it is that a detained US Army Private managed to scamper to North Korea. Pls don't cancel us.

  • Assaulting the Slopes of Mount Stupid
    A low-energy start. Hitman is sick this week, and we all know that a cold to a man is equivalent to childbirth in discomfort. The boys proceed to make an assault up the slopes of Mount Stupid rather than conduct an orderly and structured podcast.  
     
    They talk gun control during an alien invasion, homeland defense, Ukraine (obviously), the dangers of Strava, even the Coast Guard even gets a callout this episode. Go ahead and pull up a chair, grab a cold one, and buckle in for this dumpster fire of an episode.

  • New Boot Goofin. Need Help ASAP.
    “Shit, I’d settle for finding a 2-for-1 original chicken sandwich coupon for the Burger King in the BX.” The boys get pretty lit on a bad day and continue to bring top podcast content for the devoted listeners. We’re doing our very best.

  • Calling the Down Bad Patrol

    Hitman and Maverick request exile from the Down Bad Patrol as the boys take another round of L’s. They also talk Chinese warships, celebrities in the military, and the Havana Syndrome. In an effort to diversify, we passed on some of the Ukraine topics, we'll continue seeking a balance as we move forward. Lots of giggles on this one but we’re not high, we promise.

  • What is Jerusalem Worth?
    Hitman and Maverick return from their respective vision quests to record what is likely their best episode yet. They talk nuclear physics, assassinations, Uber, Ridley Scott, and F-16s. This one’s a roller coaster, folks. Buckle in and join the ride.

  • The Podcast Knows Where It Isn't

    The boys welcome their first guest to the show for episode three, and let's just say, things get a little weird. Hitman desperately trying to keep the conversation alive while Maverick and Ninja aggressively try to derail him. Or, from a certain point of view, maybe they were trying to start a fire and Hitman kept pouring water on the fuel...you be the judge.

    We talk about paintball, USVs, the great Taliban-Iran cage match, bonus bunker ball blasting sadly, and even through in some phonics lessons! The intro says it all: we had a blast, talked way too long, and solved all the world's problems. Follow the Instagram for low-quality memes!
