Winning the Powerball is the working man’s dream. The fame, the freedom, the full-bodied fear that it will get taken away. TDW talks about past winners and the Powerball Downfall, as well as how super-rich Walmart was too big to fail and is now suddenly closing stores.

Chad and Christina command the mics once again for our follow-up film review showdown- Movie Therapy: the Sequel. TDW discusses films that wow’d including Star Wars, the War Room, and Creed, and films that oww’d. Sorry to those movies, but be fuckin' better! 

Looking around at the world today, sometimes we can’t help but say- come on, dummies. Yo mama raised you better than that!
