• AI Girlfriend Trends, Fentanyl Chocolate Revenge & Dumbest Criminals Ever - Morning Crankers
    Feb 18 2026

    Today on Morning Crankers, Hans and Roxy dive headfirst into the internet’s weirdest and wildest headlines.

    We break down the exploding trend of AI girlfriends — are digital relationships replacing real ones? Is this the future of dating or the beginning of emotional outsourcing?

    Then it’s time for another round of Dumbest Criminals — including the viral “OnlyFans Pee Spree” woman whose public antics landed her in serious trouble.

    We also cover one of the most disturbing revenge stories in recent memory: a woman accused of making fentanyl-laced chocolates allegedly intended for her ex-husband. What was she thinking? And how does something like this even happen?

    And in perhaps the most ironic crime of the year — a man who wrote a book about robbing banks, went to prison, got released… and then robbed another bank. Yes. Again. And yes — he got caught.

    Morning Crankers blends comedy, commentary, and outrageous real-world stories with high energy and zero filter. If you love bizarre headlines, criminal stupidity, AI culture, and absurd real-life drama — this episode is for you.

    New episodes drop regularly. Buckle up.

  • Valentine’s Day Gone Wild: Crazy Facts, Japan’s Love Dolls & Kid Fun
    Feb 11 2026

    This week on Morning Crankers, Hans and Roxy dive headfirst into the wild, weird, and surprisingly hilarious side of Valentine’s Day.

    Forget the roses and chocolate — we’re talking about the real stories behind February 14th. From the shocking origins of Saint Valentine to bizarre historical love traditions that would never survive modern HR departments, this episode uncovers the craziest Valentine’s Day facts you’ve probably never heard.

    Then we travel overseas to Japan, where Valentine’s Day culture flips the script. From women buying chocolate for coworkers to the booming market of high-tech “romance dolls,” we explore how modern relationships, loneliness trends, and consumer culture collide in one of the most fascinating Valentine’s Day traditions in the world.

    And because not everyone wants candlelight dinners and awkward date nights, we also break down creative and fun Valentine’s Day ideas for kids — classroom activities, family games, DIY crafts, and ways to make the holiday about more than romance.

    It’s funny. It’s a little uncomfortable. It’s cultural chaos with heart.

    If you’ve ever wondered:

    • Where did Valentine’s Day actually come from?
    • Why is Japan’s Valentine’s Day so different?
    • What are some family-friendly Valentine’s Day activities?


    This episode has it all — classic Morning Crankers style.

  • Morning Crankers Meet ROXXY, Wild Christmas Gifts, Pig Semen Smugglers & GM’s Trade School Push
    Dec 18 2025

    Morning Crankers is turning up the heat — and adding a brand-new voice.

    In the December 17, 2025 episode, Hans officially welcomes ROXXY (Foxxy Roxxy) as a new co-host, bringing fresh energy, sharp humor, and unfiltered commentary to the Morning Crankers chaos.

    This episode fires on all cylinders as the crew breaks down:

    • The hottest-selling Christmas presents of the year — what everyone actually wants vs. what’s already sold out

    National days of the week, because yes… apparently everything has a day now

    • The most popular Christmas movies people are streaming, rewatching, and arguing about

    • A bizarre real-life story out of Australia, where two men were caught smuggling pig semen from Dutch pigs, a case so absurd it may end up as a movie

    General Motors investing hundreds of millions of dollars to train young workers in the skilled trades to build the next generation of vehicles — and why this move matters more than college for many Americans

    Fast-paced, hilarious, and unapologetically real, this episode blends news, culture, business, and pure insanity the way only Morning Crankers can.

    Whether you’re here for the laughs, the headlines, or to meet ROXXY’s first official episode, this one delivers.

    New voices. Wild stories. Real talk.

    This is Morning Crankers.

  • Space Dots, Stolen Driveways & The Universe Losing Its Mind | Morning Crankers with Hans
    Dec 12 2025

    MORNING CRANKERS – “Space Dots & Stolen Driveways”

    Hosted by Hans | Runtime: ~40 Minutes

    A blues-rock soaked, caffeine-fueled rant-fest for America’s favorite lovable grouch.

    The universe is officially trolling us — and Hans is here to break it all down with premium crankiness.

    In today’s episode, the James Webb Space Telescope reveals mysterious “little red dots” billions of light-years away… objects so bizarre that even the smartest astrophysicists are shrugging like mechanics looking at a car held together with zip ties. Black-hole stars? Galaxy imposters? Cosmic pranks? Hans dives in with scientific curiosity and emotional instability.

    Back on Earth — where somehow things are even dumber — people are literally stealing entire driveways. Not packages. Not tools. Entire slabs of concrete. Whole parking surfaces. Vanished. A new era of criminal innovation nobody asked for.

    Plus:

    • A ghost hunter goes searching for spirits and finds a real corpse instead

    • A compilation of crop circles, glowing sky faces, and Bigfoot sightings

    • The world’s worst lottery regret story

    • AI therapy apps telling users to “communicate with houseplants”

    • A full rant on QR codes, self-checkout chaos, and why every screen in America is gaslighting us

    • The NEW segment: News I Refuse to Cover (But I’m Gonna Anyway)

    • Another round of REAL OR FAKE? where satire and actual 2025 news battle to the death

    • And the Cranker of the Week — the bold, the brazen, the concrete-stealing geniuses of modern American stupidity

    Hans is irritated. The world is broken. The coffee is lukewarm.

    But the jokes are hot, the rants are premium, and the universe is giving us plenty of material.

    If your driveway is still attached to your house after this episode, congratulations — you’re already ahead of the curve.

  • Things Got Weird This Week: Mosquitoes in Iceland, Cocaine Shrimp & AI That Likes Insults
    Oct 29 2025

    This week on the Morning Crankers Comedy Podcast, Hans takes you on a bullet-train ride through the weirdest headlines the universe coughed up. Iceland now has MOSQUITOES for the first time ever, every shrimp in England apparently parties harder than Motley Crüe, Amazon is turning delivery drivers into cyborgs with Terminator glasses, and ChatGPT now works BETTER when you're mean to it (which is honestly the most human AI behavior yet).

    From a couple who broke into a restaurant, hooked up in front of a floral wall, THEN robbed it — to ancient 1,300-year-old poop being analyzed like it’s a limited edition vintage — to space debris literally slapping a Boeing mid-flight… this episode is absolute chaos in the best way.

    It’s dumb. It’s smart. It’s true. And yes — it’ll make you feel better about your own life choices.

    Welcome to the only comedy news show where shrimp are coked up, kidney marriages are romantic, and humanity is clearly speedrunning the apocalypse. Let’s crank.
