Six Pack

To kick off 2018, ShawnDonn pops it in reverse and tells SteveMazz about his road trip home for the holidays, complete with huge personal epiphanies, billion-dollar music ideas, recommendations for a certain Japanese car company, musings on Christmas movies and, of course, a free screenplay idea. He also shits a lot on Indiana.

(Oh and before we get a bunch of angry emails, yes, we are aware Connecticut is part of New England and that John Hughes did indeed write Christmas Vacation.)

In the long-awaited sequel to Episode 40, the guys do everything in their power to avoid actually talking about Coach Carter, The Hurricane, Eight Men Out and other misleading sports flicks. But much like the story of a Scottish Christian sprinter who doesn’t race on Sundays, it totally works. 

The guys watch the Canadian classic “Copper Mountain” and discuss Maz Kanata, the Big Hunk, surplus porn, Anderson Cooper, a new use for Hulk fists and a 2001 episode of “Law & Order.” Plus listener mail!

ShawnDonn and SteveMazz use their six topics to examine six classic sports films, their glaring deviations from what actually happened and whether fudging the truth should affect how viewers feel about them. Along the way, they praise Dennis Hopper, Gary Cooper and Gerard Butler, question Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg and wonder who exactly the original "Wild Man" was...

On a very special Six Pack, the guys examine the fascinating life and times of Charles Ponzi, the man for whom the Ponzi Scheme is named. Of course there are a few digressions into important matters such as who should play Ponzi in a movie, how his original plan was similar to the Seinfeld bottle deposit scam and whether his little guys could swim. Also, how exactly did hitting his head on the sink give Doc Brown the idea for the flux capacitor? No really.

Shawn takes issue with "Hurricanes" as a sports team name, shares another billion-dollar barbershop idea and wonders what exactly a biscuit actually is. Meanwhile, Steve uses all three of his segments to roll out a new game: Guess the terrible new comedy with A-list actors you've never heard of currently streaming on Netflix! 

On this special episode of Six Pack, the guys tune in to the SEC Network, watch the second half of the Missouri-Vanderbilt game and talk about a variety of topics, including Brett Favre’s razors, Shaq’s Gold Bond lotion, Barry Odom’s handsomeness (when wearing a hat) and what will happen first, the Super Bowl not being popular or no more white people on the planet. It’s a beast of a podcast, and you won’t realize how hilarious it is unless you press play, sit back and get ready to laugh your fat ass off.

On this action-packed episode, the guys discuss a real thing called Sex Island, whether you can become a millionaire by wearing a suit every day, the viability of motorcycle-based firefighters, close encounters with Famke Janssen, body-grooming blunders and self-gratification in workplace. They cap it all off with their very first celebrity guest (1:21:15), Gene Simmons of KISS!

The guys play another rousing round of "And or Ampersand." Then they go deep on super-successful people who never married, why Puerto Rico is the key to US Soccer progress, what would happen if office workers had "season-ending injuries" and whether they should change the intro music. Finally, they live table read part of their original Wright Brothers-themed TV pilot, "Wingmen." Ya gotta hear it to believe it!
