  • Episode 179: In Vino Veritas
    Show Notes Episode 179: “In Vino Veritas”
    This week Host Dave Bledsoe tries to fondly recalls his past only to discover he really can’t remember an awful lot of what went on. On the show this week we tackle America’s drinking problem. (The problem is America is making us all drink!)
    Along the way we examine some troublesome revelations about Dave’s sexual predilections. (Christmas is ruined forever) Then we take a stiff drink and get down the business of what makes people drink. (Hint: It is something you did.) We tackle the moral implications of binge drinking and whether or not is wrong to snitch your way out trouble when the other person is really dumb. We talk criminal justice in a long winded and essentially pointless story about why cops rarely get arrested for drinking and driving. (What you are thinking is exactly what happens.)We come to grips with bar fights and why some men feel the need to get all testosterone laden while drinking. (Their penis is very small.) Finally,we explain why we need to stop blaming booze for all the shitty things people do while they are drinking. (What did booze ever do to deserve it, booze has done nothing but love and support you!)
    Our Sponsor this week is Black Label Beer, when you want a substance that is almost but not quite entirely unlike a beer, have a Black Label. We open the show with the shenanigans of the boys hopped on the syrup and close with YouTuber LJ Reeves taking us through the emotional journey of his break-up through the lens of an imported alcoholic beverage made from a cactus relative.

  • Episode 178: I Wonder Who the Real Men Are
    Show Notes Episode 178: “I Wonder Who the Real Men Are”
    This week Host Dave Bledsoe flips through the pages of his high school yearbook to confirm he correctly recalls not raping anyone in high school. On the show this week we flip through America’s high school yearbook to find it full assholes named Brett.
    Along the way we ponder why ANYONE would look back fondly on high school. (Get a fucking life people!) Then we take a turn through the social and economic strata of the 1980’s to explain why rich white men can do the kind of things they do. (Hint: Rich and white.) We spend some explaining why GenX kids basically raised themselves. (Our parents were gripped by deep questions about who shot JR.) Finally, we break down once and for all why people like Brett thought it was perfectly fine to behave like privileged, entitled, rapey, shitbags. (It was all Hollywood’s fault, we guess.)
    Our sponsor this week is Evernear Grain Alcohol, Evernear we put the punch in your Punch! We open the show with a prime example of 80’s Teen Movie awfulness and close with Joe Jackson asking the same question most of us are right now.

  • Episode 177: A Dick Joke Too Far
    Show Notes Episode 177: “A Dick Joke Too Far”
    This week Host Dave Bledsoe reveals himself to his fans in a moment of heartfelt intimacy and vulnerability, much to everyone’s regret. (Dick Trigger Warning Given) On the show the week, we discuss….well what the hell else are we going to discuss on this show? The Supreme Court pick? That isn’t funny! Trump’s Mushroom Dick, now THAT is funny!
    Along the way we learn more than we ever wanted to know about Presidential Peen, from Washington’s Wooden Dick to LBJ’s Hogleg, we cover all the POTUS prick trivia you never wanted to know and are now being forced to find out from a low rated podcast. Then we make an impassioned argument for decency and accountability in the White House. (To bad we need a time machine for it to be meaningful!) Then we explain why the decisions we make in the past haunt us throughout our lives in strange and unexpected ways. (Like that time Dave go drunk in Honduras and woke up in Nicaragua! True story!) Then we close the show with a vivid prediction for the future of your humble host, we don’t know WHEN it will happen, we only know HOW it will happen.
    Our Sponsor this week is The Mighty Mushroom, putting the FUN in fungi! We open the show with The View asking a question no one wanted answered and closed with Sticky Fingers explaining how they care about the size of the boat, not the motion of the ocean.

  • Episode 176: Roughing the Snapper
    Episode 175: “Roughing the Snapper”
    This week all of Host Dave Bledsoe’s rowdy friends are coming over only to find he’s not home and is in fact in a bar getting shit faced by himself. Again. On the show this week we go all sports talk radio and give a surprising answer to the question “Is football good now?” (Answer: “Ish”)
    Along the way we hear the very brief and very awkward tale of Dave’s football career. (Think Verne Troyer -RIP- but with far less dignity.) We go on learn the secret of acceptance in small town High Schools. (Cheap prices on bad weed.) We then discuss why we obsess over men and their balls and why that obsession is so unhealthy. (When we keep playing with our balls we go blind.) Going forward we examine what happened when America’s favorite sport went from what brought us together to another battle in our endless cultural wars. (Hint: White People.) After struggling for years with sport aversion Dave finally breaks down and likes football out of spite, picking his time according a time honored ritual. (#GoBrowns) Fan cred established, we present some helpful hints for improving the game of football.
    Our Sponsor this week is The Cleveland Browns, when you care enough to root for the very worst, root for the Browns. We open our show with a factory of sadness and close with Sound Collage rendering an American Football Classic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgYkFPuVcH0

  • Episode 175: Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs
    Show Notes Episode 175: “Signs, Signs, Everywhere There’s Signs”
    This week, Host Dave Bledsoe is back from his bender (which he called a “wedding”) and is ready to kiss and tell about being kicked in the crotch by the groom. (He deserved it, trust us!) On the show this week we confront the viral load of Internet stupid this week to find the prognosis is not...well it’s not good.
    Along the way we discover what frightened Dave as a child (his Mom finding the porn stash beneath his bed) and why he wasn’t afraid of monsters. (Turns out the monsters were afraid of HIM!) Then we explain why very angry White People were burning their shoes. (They looked for looms to throw the shoes in, but did not know what a loom is. Luddite humor, very topical!) We gently explain that when the Tweet contains subtle clues like “my name is #mustard” you probably shouldn’t assume it contains factual information. Then we dig right in to the so called ‘secret sign’ flashed by Brett Kavanaugh’s law clerk that was neither a secret, nor was it a sign. (Turns out, people sometimes hold their hands that way!) Then we spend rather a lot of time pointing out that if you want to go looking for white supremacists, you don’t have to look very hard or very far to find them. (One could start, say, at the Oval Office and work their way out from there.) Finally, we point out the Left is falling for stupid things because they are not very good at paying attention to the REAL threat right in front of their eyes. (Think plastic straws and you will know what we mean.)
    Our Sponsor this week is Captain Obvious, the Hero for these very stupid times. We open the show with Topher Grace channeling David Duke and close with Kevin Higdon covering a song that sums up life today. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbdaaKh9GlU&feature=youtu.be)

  • 135 Redux: The Hero Dies Again In This One
    Host Dave Bledsoe is marrying people this weekend, so we are running a "best of" (Frankly, if this our best maybe we should keep to ourselves) this week. We reach back to November of 2017 to remind that Louis CK did some really bad shit and hasn't done ANYTHING to make it better.

  • Episode 174: "Donnie Are You OK, Are You OK Donnie?"
    Show Notes Episode 174: “Donnie Are You OK, Are You OK Donnie?”
    This week Host Dave Bledsoe is held in contempt until such time as finally clears up his bar tab. On the show this week we talk about some other contemptible fellows who suddenly find themselves looking at long stretches in prison. (Orange is the new Ostrich leather!)
    Along the way we discuss the Summer of 1974 and the crimes that came to light in a small southern town! (WE WANT OUR HOT WHEELS BACK EDDIE!) We also examine the other big event of that month, something about some guy resigning or something. Then we dish about the other criminals who for some reason all seem to share a single, simple trait in common. (Hint: It contains the letters G, O and P!) We share some frankly stunning allegations of misconduct by Mister Hooper towards Ernie and the break down some hard truths about the electorate in America. (The GOP probably shouldn’t count on some of their usual voters to save them this year.) Finally, we meet the Middletons, the most generic American family ever invented and explain why Mark, Mindy and the kids might not be to excited about being called Republicans this year. (Hint: He’s orange, insane and corrupt!) Finally, we explain some hard truths to our own side of the political aisle about why we need to shut the hell up about impeaching Trump...for now...
    Our Sponsor this week is Freddie’s House of Felons, helping you find the right person for all your crime needs! We open the show with Tricky Dick explaining why he welcomes the inquiry that would eventually bring about his downfall and close with duwendemusic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU47K11-wNs) requesting a status update on Annie’s condition.

  • Episode 173: Cold Hearted Snake
    Show Notes: Episode 173 “Cold Hearted Snake”
    This week Host Dave Bledsoe is secretly recorded during a production meeting saying a terrible thing, only to immediately say it publically when asked about the tape. On the show this week, we talk tapes, who said what, to whom and when and whether or not those tapes will even matter when they heard. (Answer: Not in the in the least.)
    Along the way we update the Presidential Lie Count which unlike Trump’s approval ratings is only going up! From there, we tell the tale of Omarosa’s second tenure in the White House (That’s right she worked for Clinton AND Gore!) and her sudden yet entirely expected termination in the Situation Room. (What kind of situation requires Omarosa in the Situation Room, a barbed retort on Real Housewives?) We ask the question America is dying to know: Did our President say the N-Word. (Hint: A lot.) We try to decide is Omarosa is at all credible in her claims. (Absolutely not, but that doesn’t make them untrue.) We also discuss what kind of person betrays their own people so they can land a cherry job with no real responsibilities, great pay and a chance to make millions in the future. (Answer: Every goddamn one of you!) Finally, we explain why everyone seems to be turning on Trump whenever it becomes convenient. (Hint: legless reptiles.)
    Our Sponsor this week is No Shit Sherlocks, pointing out the the obvious to the oblivious! We open the show with Omarosa defending the indefensible and close with the strangest cover song we’ve discovered in the history of this show. We think you will enjoy it, unlike the rest of the show.

  • Episode 171: Harry's HUGE Henderson
    Show Notes Episode 171: “Harry’s HUGE Henderson”
    This week Host Dave Bledsoe finds love in the forest and the less said about that, the better. On the show this week we examine Bigfoot Erotica, for which it would also be better if we said less about. (Unfortunately for everyone, we did not heed this advice.)
    Along the way we discuss WHY we are talking about Bigfoot porn, and coin a new name for coitus with a cryptid: “Sexquatching”. (Seriously NO ONE ELSE has used that word before, we Googled it!) We dive deep and hard into the world of Monsterotica (We did NOT invent that word) and particularly the sub-genre of those aroused by Bigfoots. We learn how surprisingly lucrative such fiction can be and plan to launch our own line of Bigfoot Boning Books shortly. (Check out forthcoming Amazon page!) We then address various practical and moral issues around Human/Sasquatch relations and how they should be handled when brought up in conversation. (Pray this never happens.) Finally, we take a STRONG stand on Human Bigfoot marriage and why we should immediately pass laws protecting Human Bigfoot Hybrid Children. (#LoveIsLove)
    Our Sponsor this week is the Cryptozoology Society of America, studying imaginary monsters for 25 years! We open the show with a famed Bigfoot debunker getting his comeuppance and close with the Unplugged Band’s cover of a mammalian reproductive essay. (https://youtu.be/QD2XpzWATu8)
