  • From Pre-Workout Hype to Parenting Strife: 90's Supplements, Cyberbullying, & Kids Birthdays
    Jun 13 2024

    Remember the days when getting jacked meant a quick stop at the drugstore for some ephedrine? We're throwing it back to the old school pre-workout days, charting the rise and fall of this controversial substance. From its bronchodilator benefits to its shady links to meth labs, join us as we pump up the past and compare it to the likes of clenbuterol and albuterol. But it's not all about the gains; I'm also laying bare my own battle with dyslexia and the homeschooling path that veered wildly from my brother's academic feats.

    Parenthood is no walk in the park, and we're not shying away from the tough talks, like the digital era's bullying battlegrounds. I'm opening up about my son's brush with cyberbully and how it launched us into a debate on freedom of speech and the pressing need to shield the vulnerable. And for all you parents on the pursuit of happiness, we're exploring the luxurious lives of my medic friends and questioning if career success truly equals joy. It's a raw look at the challenges of raising kids in a world where likes can sometimes feel more important than love.

    Wrap up your resistance bands and tune in for the birthday party planning saga that's got us all questioning our sanity and savings. We're comparing notes on the extravaganzas that leave our wallets lighter—like my daughter's laser tag blowout—and swapping tips for keeping the celebrations joyful without breaking the bank. Plus, I'll dish on the evolving etiquette of kid drop-offs at parties, our undying affection for weddings, and the comradery found in the 'dad bods and dumbbells' community. Get ready for a heart-to-heart on the balancing act of parenting, festivities, and finding that sweet spot of memorable moments.

  • Sipping Whiskey and Tackling Testosterone: Comedy, Aging, and the Allure of Fame
    Jun 11 2024

    Saddle up for a hearty swig of Dripping Springs whiskey as we kick things off with a Texas-sized taste test that's as smooth as our banter. And when it comes to smooth, the comedy world gives us plenty to talk about – from the hits and misses of Cat Williams' "Woke Folks" to the star-studded roasting session featuring Tony Hinchcliffe and Nikki Glaser. Ever noticed how the spotlight tends to shine a bit more on certain celebrities? We peel back the veneer to speculate on the role of cosmetic procedures in keeping our favorite stars camera-ready. Plus, we'll toss you a relatable curveball with a tale of family bonding over the thrills of watching sports.

    Ever felt that creeping sense of time nipping at your heels? We pull back the curtain on Testosterone Replacement Therapy and steroids, revealing more than just the science behind these 'shots of youth.' It's a frank conversation about society's take on aging, the pursuit of vitality, and the intricate hormonal ballet between testosterone and estrogen. But it's not all serious business; we'll also weave in parallels with women's cosmetic choices, making sense of the societal double standards. And yes, we won't shy away from discussing how these practices play out under the watchful eyes of doping regulations in sports.

    Wrapping things up, we'll muse on the siren call of celebrity relationships, the trade-offs of fame, and whether it's worth chasing that spotlight or opting for a rich, private life away from the cameras. Remember the days when the biggest concern was your high score on the Nintendo 64? We'll tap into that nostalgia before confronting the darker side of modern online gaming platforms. And for the sports fans out there, we tackle the balancing act of ambition and family life through the lens of Tom Brady's high-profile career. So, as we put the barbells down and celebrate the everyday dad bod, we thank you for lending us your ears – your engagement is what keeps these conversations as lively as a game-winning touchdown.

    Jun 7 2024

    What makes romantic comedies the ultimate comfort movies? Buckle up as Bart and I embark on a rollercoaster ride through the delightful world of rom-coms, dissecting the magic of Anne Hathaway's newest flick and reminiscing over classic gems from Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan. We swap guilty pleasures and hotly debate whether these films are the perfect way to unwind or just a delightful escape from reality. With a mix of laughter and nostalgia, we share our top picks and recommendations for all the romantics out there.

    But our episode doesn’t stop at love and laughter! We dive into an exhilarating sci-fi series that turns the laws of physics on their head, explore the comedic genius of Shane Gillis' new show "Tires," and break down the jaw-dropping performances of the Mavericks in the NBA finals. Plus, we dream up the ultimate comedy show at ACL Live and give a sneak peek into an exciting end-of-summer fitness event. Join us for a whirlwind of humor, entertainment, and sports talk that promises to keep you hooked from start to finish!
