The Ramble

You asked, we answered .. well, sort of. C'mon in boys .. expooberance abounds!

Welcome to the Season 2 Q&A spectacular, an episode overflowing with bowel-pressure confessions, unwanted sandwiches, and the philosophical labyrinth of who exactly was feeling whose oats. 

Tim explains how Truett briefly stole his heart and nearly his innocence (penguins included) and recalls his East Coast swagger-wagon escapades – complete with a limp hand, what truly happens after 6 pm, and an unceremonious ejection from Atlantic City. Caleb, not to be outdone, recounts how a cheese prank nearly derailed a friendship, insists “it all comes back to the river”, and beholds Bane (who survived being run over by the Ramblers) emerge from pool of noodles despite his mangled limbs.  

Along the way, you’ll hear the Tale of Deer Run (definitely not a fantasy world), discover how the name and music of The Ramble came to be, and finally learn who were the hash-slinging slashers of old Saint Nick. We peel back facades, hoist wedding dresses, chauffeur feasts, and obliterate signs – all in the name of the Protected. 

But the chaos doesn’t stop there: the mysterious faction known only as the Darkens makes their long-awaited entrance, a shadowy force forever entangled with Jimmy and his smoldering converse. Their influence collides with surprise birthday parties, full moons dangling from windows (was it a white car?), frantic glove inflation, and a vampiric glaze in the eyes of the beholden. Could it all be traced back to the basil? We’re not saying yes, but we’re not saying no.

By the end, Tim and Caleb reflect on friends lost, friends found, the syndicate still lurking in the shadows, and the AI doppelgängers waiting in the wings to carry their legacy. They strap into the plane of the heart, nosedive into oblivion, and leave you with a topsy-turvy conclusion that will make you laugh, weep, and possibly cart a watermelon. Ahead of it’s time? Absolutely. Understandable? Absolutely not.

Is that Kanye on autotune or just domestic violence over a burrowed bee? One thing’s for sure, it’s not the Bent Neck Lady rawdogging her way through Christmas cheer.  

Welcome back after 3 years (we know, we know) as the lads kick off the Season 2 Christmas-themed finale with a snake draft of the worst holiday traditions – from deer hunting youths weaponised with fruitcake, those unforgettable suet leaks nobody asked for, to the haunting tale of Mr Pocket and his suspiciously hot mince pies. Along the way, they also uncover a rare condition amongst carollers known only as “crampus in the groin”. 

But it’s not all yuletide chaos as Tim and Caleb catch everyone up on life updates during their hiatus. They then reminisce on their final days together in college, including cleaning to Disney sing-alongs, dissecting felines (sorry, Chutney), gifting knick-knacks, and what happens when med school dreams go sideways. Caleb discusses his desire to flee the country, and Tim teases a European pilgrimage of his own after the shame of attending his own graduation as a spectator .. 

Of course, there’s plenty of honey vs maple milk chatter, some accidental wisdom from an inquisitive phrase, and a journey that goes ever on until it ends with the only appropriate sendoff: wishing you a very sexy Christmas.

We're the salmon of modern culture, Lamar .. why are you the way you are?  

In this week's bonus episode the ramblers discuss going on walks together, singing Yankee Doodle, and molecular gastronomy. They duke it out in the return of say your word and dust off the ole futon for their special guest .. the one and only, Golf. 

They catch up with their guest to learn whether texture or taste is superior and are introduced to a fun new fruit. Golf shares some post-college trials such as operations and nearly burning the house down, as well as successes like getting married and his job as a flight test engineer in southern Maryland. He discusses his immigration to the USA from Thailand, the origin of his name, and his time as a Buddhist monk. They reminisce on the days at the Cove including hostage games and the age-old question of who actually was the squatter? They conclude with Tim being recognised as a famous podcaster, Caleb's full legal name, and reflecting on the upcoming close to a grand adventure with many friends along the way. 

RIP Robbie Coltrane

Caleb then shares the events of his summer including ginormous tests, butt sales, and the most important question of the day he's ever asked.

It would seem the kittens have lost their mittens .. hopefully they weren't en route to the, erm .. furry convention? Yikes.

Welcome to this week's episode where your co-hosts tackle Ramble tattoos, what artefacts they've procured from public restrooms, and harness their inner croûte supérieure to decipher modern works of art. Tim then presents ethical dilemmas for Caleb to wade through, including a masked fox who burgles to assist orphans and a doctor caught between pills and a bargaining train of kidneys. 

During story time, the Ramblers share a series of short stories to shed light on what life in the Cove was like, including the hunt for Yogi and how a series of clues led to the theory the infamous hermit had returned for vengeance. Caleb discusses how the search for the holy grail caught him off guard and the budding friendship that never was. Tim shares his disdain for oddly placed cereal particles and how a fondness for sticky animals nearly led to disease. They conclude by reflecting on the proverbial (and literal) baptism of the house and the bonds they formed in the wake of such a catastrophe.

Yodel~ay~see~you .. but not before you get yourself some big old bodacious bagels! 

In this week's episode, your co-hosts discuss the correct use of the word voluptuous, Tim continues to process a recent unveiling, and they ponder an epic mutiny between the Slicers and the Pussycats. Caleb goes back-to-basics by thrusting Tim into a world of noodle hair seepage vs becoming an attraction of syrupification.

Caleb shares his fondness for closets and what it was like to return to a familiar fairy tale world ('twas a formidable smell), while Tim teases his comfortability as nature intended. They conclude with how being emotionally captivated (+ old cardboard boxes) almost led to the 'greatest' display of yuletide joy that the town of Dahlonega, GA could've laid claim to.
