  • 252 - Hunting, Goose Fear, Bad Drivers, CHRISTMAS!
    Dec 14 2025

    Sconnie Jared joins the boys! But first, Adam had to navigate the Mission Impossible laser field to get to tonight’s recording. The boys reminisce on 2000s comedies and some comedy movie hypotheticals. Adam doesn’t understand people’s fear of geese, or why the heck people are driving farther than necessary! Jared updates the boys on how duck season went and how early ice fishing season has been. Burk tells us about his trip to dsm for a Home Alone screening with McCauley Culkin. In the Merry Meat, Mm!, of the show, the boys continue celebrating Christmas by listing their top 5 Christmas TV Episodes ever, before discussing the top gifts of our (my?) birth year. What a fun trip down memory lane! Hut Hut! Love y’all.

  • 251 - Leaf Crunching, Rotten Tomatoes, Hallmark Movie Plots!
    Dec 7 2025

    Ped, Burk and guest Grace open the show discussing a horrid Black Friday experience and people dumbly slipping on ice. Another fantastic Tik Tok video series has reached Adam’s algorithm, much to the chagrin of Ryan. Burk brings us his perfect song of the week and back by popular demand, THE ROTTEN TOMATOES GAME!! In the Meat, Mm!, we celebrate the Christmas season by reading real and fake Hallmark movie plots and seeing if Grace can guess correctly. We end with fondly remembering some 90’s Christmas gifts. Hut Hut! Love y’all.
