• Episode 173: V Toe
    Oct 7 2025

    In this episode, Kael reveals his shady business practices and we decide we are gonna watch a movie but Danny wants to watch stupid movies so Kael uses his favorite word, VETO. He vetoes a lot in this episode. When we come back, Danny tries to get some help with his homework and then that gets vetoed too. In Kael's defense, nobody actually gave him this power and he just says it, so it's not like it's got any actual power other than what Danny gives it. We also talk about the new merch line and provide a discount code, so go check that out. Big Red Button: You get one million beers BUT you have to drink one million beers.

  • Episode 172: Detective Kael Strikes Again
    Sep 30 2025

    We start out talking about how betrayed we are by one of Kael's friends who we wanted as a guest, and then, wait... Why are we talking about Skyrim? Anyway, after the ad break, Detective Kael finds out about Danny's new beard and then we go BACK to Skyrim for Kael to nerd out because the Mantella mod is actually super cool and not enough people know about it.

  • Episode 171: Ryan Gosling's 23rd Birthday (Featuring Nicolas Cage)
    Sep 23 2025

    In this episode, Ryan Gosling is back on to talk about playing with belugas for his birthday and getting rained on at the Sox game, and Danny talks a little bit about seeing Laufey in concert (even though he pronounces her name wrong). After that, we talk about how we finally have a bunch of sponsorships and then tries to bully Danny into watching some movies for our Patreon. Nicolas Cage shows up too. Big Red Button: You get a star on Hollywood Boulevard BUT it's for the worst movie ever made so no one respects you.

  • Episode 170: Unqualified Financial Advice
    Sep 16 2025

    In this episode, we start out talking about redundant classes to make you pay the university more, then we talk about which universities are poor because they use Brightspace. After that, we talk about Trump's apparent stroke that he suffered on Thursday in response to Charlie Kirk's death, as well as the bets on Kalshi that he will leave office before the end of the year, and then we give some FULLY UNQUALIFIED financial advice since we are NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS and you SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO US (even though Kael earned 40% returns this year by following this strategy). Kael then decides to give a few statements on the death of Charlie Kirk by himself, without Danny. These takes are kinda controversial so we don't have a sponsor for this episode either.

  • Episode 169: Danny Scared Straight
    Sep 9 2025

    In this episode, Danny alienates both the lasagna lovers and lasagna haters at the same time and then talks about how he really thinks he's good at volleyball even though he is around the same height as a Chihuahua on its hind legs. We also talk about our new Pokemon series where we torture Danny every time his Pokemon faint, coming soon to the KThugston TV YouTube channel. After the ad break, Danny is framed for a crime he didn't commit and Kael asks what his strategy is for surviving in prison, and Danny refuses to play ball because it's not a volleyball. Kael also tries to bring back Pants Down at the Urinal. No Big Red Button.

  • Episode 168: Danny's a Ball Hog
    Sep 2 2025

    In this episode, we talk about our first week of classes and how much they are draining us and then we confront Danny for his weird middle-of-the-night volleyball sessions. When we come back, we talk about Danny's love of balls before we pivot to discussing the student organisations that we have become leaders in so that way we aren't a couple of lazy bums all semester, and then Danny is confronted about his cultural appropriation of white people AND Japanese people. Big Red Button: You can be good at volleyball BUT everyone thinks you're in a volleyball cult.

  • Episode 167: Where Were You on January 6th?
    Aug 26 2025

    In this episode, we start out depressed and dour because of the lack of interesting films that are coming out in the next few months as well as the similarly but not as dire lack of games. Kael then tries to talk about the hot chocolate scam industry but Danny redirects the conversation to his volleyball hobby, but he plays at a really weird time so we have a discussion about that. Danny then accuses Kael of being at the Capitol on January 6th apropos of nothing so Kael redirects the question back at him, and we don't like what we find. Big Red Button: You have a confirmed alibi for the January 6th Riots BUT you have to talk to the ex that you hate to confirm it.

  • Episode 166: Danny's Short Temper Turns 25
    Aug 19 2025

    In this episode, we don't really talk about Danny's birthday that much, but instead we talk about the monkey brained decisions by the video games industry as per usual. Nintendo is our main target, but Sony catches some strays as well. The PS5 and the Switch 2 both have no games. When we come back, Danny talks a little bit about his birthday celebrations and Kael makes a lot of jokes, which shouldn't offend a man of his STATURE, but he gets a LITTLE irritated since the jokes are not in SHORT supply. Everybody wish him a happy birthday anyway. Big Red Button: You always have bags and quarters for Aldi BUT you can never shop for groceries anywhere else.
