  • Episode 179: Minecraft, Movies, and Manhood
    2025/07/07

    John and Jay kick off with a hilarious comparison of generational "brain rot," contrasting millennial catchphrases like "shibby" that naturally faded away with Gen Z's evolving linguistic innovations that somehow grow more complex over time. Their observations about how different generations process and share humor reveal deeper insights about cultural transmission in the digital age.

    The conversation shifts to an unexpectedly enthusiastic review of the Minecraft movie, with both hosts expressing genuine surprise at Jason Momoa's scene-stealing comedic performance. "I thought I was going to watch it for Jack Black," one admits, "but Jason Momoa killed it!" They highlight how the film successfully bridges the knowledge gap for non-gamers while delivering authentic experiences for fans—a rare achievement for video game adaptations.

    Pure nostalgic excitement takes over when they discover the upcoming theatrical re-release of the original 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie for its 35th anniversary. Their spontaneous planning to attend a screening together captures that magical intersection of adulthood responsibilities and childhood enthusiasm that so many listeners can relate to. The immediate phone call to check if their local theater will carry the film showcases their authentic passion for these cultural touchstones.

    The podcast takes several unexpected turns, including a raw, unfiltered exploration of personal boundaries and attraction in an increasingly fluid world. While navigating these complex waters with their signature irreverent humor, the hosts demonstrate how honest conversation helps process evolving social norms, even when that discussion feels uncomfortable or imperfect.

    The episode wraps with a revealing discussion about modern parenting challenges, particularly the frustration when teenagers misappropriate powerful terminology like "oppression" without understanding historical context. This generational communication gap reflects broader cultural disconnects where young people access sophisticated vocabulary through social media before developing the nuanced understanding to use these concepts appropriately.

  • Episode 178: Two Guys, Too Many Tomatoes, and Totally Awesome Tunes
    2025/07/07

    Dive into the underground metal scene as we unearth hidden gems from the depths of social media algorithms. From the thrash-infused sounds of Tyrannicide to the gothic metal stylings of Fae Fatale, our musical journey takes an exciting turn when we discover I-Scream, a Japanese metal band whose synchronized two-stepping and blend of hardcore with J-pop influences left us thoroughly impressed.

    Between headbanging sessions, we share personal stories, including Jason's weekend adventures DJing at a wedding where the groom requested Slayer as the closing song (proving metal fans truly are everywhere). We also tackle the ongoing controversy surrounding autograph hunters who stalk celebrities at airports – a practice we find deeply disrespectful to performers who deserve basic courtesy, especially when they're exhausted from travel.

    The conversation shifts to gaming as we discuss the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, raising concerns about Nintendo's strict policies that could potentially "brick" modded systems and the industry's movement away from true ownership toward cloud-based services. What happens when you pay hundreds of dollars for games but don't truly own them?

    Throughout it all, our unfiltered style creates an authentic listening experience that feels like hanging out with friends who aren't afraid to share their genuine opinions. Whether you're a metalhead seeking new bands, a gamer worried about the future of the industry, or simply someone who appreciates honest conversation, this episode delivers with our signature blend of humor, insight, and occasional profanity.

  • Episode 177: Spaceballs 2 and Hollywood's Nostalgic Cash Grabs
    2025/06/24

    Something magical happens when comedy legends decide to revisit their greatest hits. The announcement of Spaceballs 2 with both 98-year-old Mel Brooks returning and Rick Moranis coming out of retirement has sparked genuine excitement among fans who've waited nearly four decades for the sequel.

    We dive deep into why this announcement matters so much – it's not just nostalgia, but a potential return to comedy that isn't afraid to push boundaries. The brilliant teaser for Spaceballs 2 mocks the endless stream of sequels, prequels, and reboots while promising "The Search for More Money." We analyze the casting choices (Josh Gad as Barf Jr.), debate alternatives (would Dan Fogler have been better?), and celebrate the return of Bill Pullman and other legacy characters.

    But this episode isn't just about Spaceballs. We explore the promising Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson with Seth MacFarlane producing – a combination that actually looks promising based on the trailer's clever fourth-wall breaks and wordplay. The comparison between these revivals and classics like Blazing Saddles and Tropic Thunder leads us into a broader discussion about how comedy has changed, sometimes for the worse.

    There's something deeply refreshing about revisiting an era when films weren't afraid to make audiences squirm in their seats while laughing. As boundaries in comedy continue to narrow, these revivals might represent something more significant than simple cash grabs – they could be the gasps of a comedic style fighting to survive in a world that's forgotten how to laugh at itself.

  • Episode 176: Hip-Hop Hits to Planetary Facts
    2025/06/17

    Ever found yourself doubled over with laughter at something you've completely forgotten saying? That's exactly what happens when John and Jay revisit their old podcast episodes, laughing at jokes they don't even remember making. "It's like listening to an actual podcast, brand new," John admits, perfectly capturing the beautiful chaos that defines this show.

    This episode takes listeners on a wild, uncensored journey through nostalgia and random cultural tangents. John shares updates on his new job and the frustratingly delayed "Level Up" business venture, contemplating opening his own store rather than waiting indefinitely. The conversation naturally spirals into stories about cockroach-infested apartments, strip club adjacent living, and what makes the perfect bachelor pad.

    Music becomes a central theme as the hosts passionately defend underrated bands like Europe ("fucking amazing" beyond just "The Final Countdown"), analyze scenes from comedy classic "Hot Rod," and perform an improvised "Planetarium Experience" skit that's as educational as it is hilariously inaccurate. Their genuine enthusiasm shines brightest during an extended dive into 90s hip-hop nostalgia, where they unearth forgotten gems from Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, and surprising celebrity musicians from Bruce Willis to Billy Bob Thornton.

    What makes this podcast special isn't just the topics—it's the authentic friendship and completely unfiltered approach. John and Jay speak with the comfortable candor of longtime friends who've forgotten the microphones are there, creating moments of unexpected hilarity and genuine connection. Whether you're a returning listener or first-timer, you'll feel like you're hanging out with old friends who just happen to be podcasting about whatever crosses their minds.

    Give your brain a break from the serious stuff and join us for weekly doses of comedy, stories, and completely unpredictable conversations. There's a reason our listeners keep coming back—every episode truly is a new adventure.

  • Episode 175: Nostalgia Unleashed: Revisiting John and Jay's Classic Sketches
    2025/06/10

    Journey with us through the comedic time machine as we celebrate our 175th episode by unearthing comedy gold from our archives! This special retrospective episode reveals the raw, unfiltered humor that shaped our podcast's identity from the very beginning.

    The laughs kick off with our unvarnished take on the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer, where we dissect Hollywood's ongoing love affair with nostalgia and question whether Adam Sandler's upcoming sequel can recapture the magic of the original. Our no-holds-barred analysis reflects our commitment to honest comedy criticism – we call it like we see it, even when it means questioning beloved franchises.

    Then comes the unexpected reveal of John's secret AI metal project "Fermented Fear," complete with a world premiere of "Ashes of Salem" – a legitimately impressive track blending clean vocals with aggressive screaming sections. The detailed breakdown of creating AI-generated music and visuals showcases how we're constantly exploring new creative frontiers while staying true to our metal roots.

    The heart of the episode delivers exactly what longtime listeners crave – a hilarious revisiting of our earliest comedy sketches. From the wildly inappropriate Fraggle Rock parody that had us both in stitches, to the introduction of the now-beloved Jerry character at the movie theater, these unscripted moments capture the spontaneous magic that defined our early work. The imperfections and ad-libs in these sketches often make them funnier, proving that sometimes the best comedy comes from embracing the unexpected.

    As we reflect on 175 episodes of creative partnership, we share exciting updates about our music recording plans and career developments. Whether you've been with us since episode one or just discovered us today, this blend of nostalgia, new creative ventures, and our signature irreverent humor demonstrates why our unfiltered approach to comedy continues to resonate. Join us next week as we keep pushing comedic boundaries – there's plenty more where this came from!

  • Episode 174: The Rabbit Hole of Obscure Bands and Nostalgic Metal
    2025/06/02

    Ready to watch two passionate metalheads go down the rabbit hole of obscure bands, Metallica deep cuts, and unfiltered comedy? This episode takes you on a musical adventure you won't forget.

    John and Jay kick things off by discussing a potential recording opportunity for their band, weighing the merits of a surprisingly affordable studio package that includes recording, mixing, and mastering. Their excitement is tempered with the healthy skepticism of musicians who've learned that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is—but this opportunity might just be the real deal.

    The conversation shifts to an extensive analysis of Metallica's controversial 2003 album "St. Anger." The hosts dissect why the album was initially maligned (that infamous trash-can snare sound!) while arguing for its importance as a creative stepping stone in the band's evolution. "St. Anger crawled so Death Magnetic could run," they conclude, showcasing their ability to appreciate the nuances of a divisive release. This segment shines with genuine passion as they compare studio and live recordings, highlighting how production choices dramatically impact an album's reception.

    The most entertaining portion arrives when the hosts embark on a journey of musical discovery, searching YouTube for underground industrial and metal bands. Their authentic reactions to discovering gems like After Dusk, Gloomlight, and The Cold Shoulder capture the pure joy of finding new music. "It's like discovering an artifact that hasn't been found yet," they marvel, sharing their excitement with listeners who might be seeking fresh sounds beyond mainstream metal.

    The episode wraps with updates on personal health journeys and upcoming endeavors, including a job interview and radio appearance. Throughout it all, John and Jay maintain their signature blend of humor, insight, and unabashed enthusiasm that keeps listeners coming back for more.

    2025/06/02

    Raw, unfiltered, and delightfully chaotic – that's what awaits you in this episode as John and Jay take listeners on another wild ride through their week's adventures and random musings.

    Jay kicks things off with exciting news about his DJ business scoring a radio promotion opportunity on 96.7 The Mix, showcasing his entrepreneurial hustle. The conversation flows naturally into a nostalgic discussion about recording songs off the radio – remember holding those microphones up to speakers and praying no one would talk during your favorite song? Today's streaming generation will never understand the struggle!

    Things take an interesting turn when the hosts dive into the darker side of social media, discussing controversial AI filters creating fake Down syndrome content. Their commentary, while adult-oriented and boundary-pushing, raises legitimate questions about digital ethics and exploitation in today's algorithm-driven world.

    In a surprisingly vulnerable segment, both hosts open up about their experiences with compression shirts and body confidence. It's a refreshingly honest conversation about male body image that balances self-deprecating humor with genuine insights about personal growth and acceptance.

    The episode continues with stories about Jay's successful wedding DJ gig at a gorgeous venue on the Olentangy River, plans for an upcoming charity golf outing at Mohawk, and hilariously awkward public bathroom encounters. The hosts' willingness to share embarrassing childhood tales creates an atmosphere of relatability despite the outrageous nature of some anecdotes.

    Whether you're a long-time listener or first-time discoverer of this unapologetically authentic podcast, this episode delivers the perfect blend of humor, honesty, and unexpected insights that will have you coming back for more. Subscribe now and join us for next week's adventures!

  • Episode 172: Sonic Temple 2025 Breakdown: A Metalhead's Paradise
    2025/05/20

    Metal mayhem and festival tales dominate as we break down the Sonic Temple experience from start to finish. After four years of podcasting (an eternity in the podcast world!), we're celebrating episode 172 with a deep dive into what makes a great metal festival.

    Sonic Temple emerges as the clear winner when compared to Inkcarceration, offering flat ground instead of treacherous hills, better spacing between stages, and perfect timing weather-wise. The lineup delivered serious firepower with Ice Nine Kills crushing their set, Bullet For My Valentine sounding album-perfect, and Whitechapel demonstrating why they're considered death metal royalty. Even unexpected acts like ICP drew massive crowds, though some veterans like Rob Zombie showed their age with winded performances and partial lyrics.

    Beyond festival talk, we explore Cedar Point's surprising new comedy shows and take a musical journey through bands you might not know yet but absolutely should. From Russian mathcore outfit Ape on the Rocket to Italian metalcore group Burning Hayes, we unearth hidden gems that deserve spots on your playlist. Each discovery fuels our appreciation for the endless creativity in the metal scene.

    After 172 episodes, we're still passionate about sharing the music and movies we love. Whether you're here for the bands, the banter, or the bizarre tangents, we appreciate you joining our metal-fueled conversations. Check out these bands, let us know what you think, and join us next week for more mayhem.
