August 11, 2025Pepsi Number Fever: The Biggest Marketing Blunder of the 90's
Pepsi's 1992 promotional campaign is likely their biggest marketing blunder of all time which is saying a lot considering during a commercial shoot they lit Michael Jackson on fire.

Additionally the Wiki boys learn about the New Coke, Atlanta's famous Varsity Restaurant, the history of American football (which goes all the way back to Greece!), the British slang "Buggery" and finally the f'd up story about Sodom and Gomorrah.

April 04, 2025Ten Cent Beer Night - Another Cleveland Disaster!
Buckle up, degenerates—we’re diving into the most unhinged night in baseball history: Ten Cent Beer Night. Picture this: a stadium full of rowdy Clevelanders pounding dirt-cheap beer like it’s the purge, and shocker—it ends in a full-scale riot. We’re talking streakers, fistfights, drunken fans storming the field, and the home team literally running for their lives. And honestly? For a city that lit a river on fire, released a million balloons into the sky only to cause mass chaos, and watched LeBron leave twice, this might still be Cleveland’s lowest moment. Let’s get into this beautiful disaster.
