Modest JNCO's
Reasons For The Apocalypse
We're back! You have 3/4 Horsemen for this one as Ryan is on sabbatical. We start with a classic topic discussion: naked old guys in the locker room. Then we get deep into JNCO jean revival. Did you know JNCO stands for "Judge None Choose One?" Anyway. In a debut segment, we break Cereal Mascots into tiers. Who will win out in the battle of breakfast-based intellectual property? Finally, Brian's Sports Short revisits CJ Stroud's draft discourse now that he is more of an established QB.

The Great Signature Segment Swapapalooza
Reasons For The Apocalypse
After a little summer hiatus we are back with a new episode, and we are getting a little bit crazy with it by having the hosts swap their signature segments. (Oh, and there are some technical difficulties, sorry about that.) After some important roller skate talk and injury talk, Nick presents "HUNK!" and Rod attempts to share some Wacky News From Around the Globe. Then it's a special Ryan's Advice Corner on whether 16 is too young to get a tattoo in the woods. Then a Brian What's the Deal on a classic but modern arcade cabinet and Nick tries his hand at a Sports Short on the Madden game...

Nicky's Advice Corner: Is it wrong to give your mom the book Anna Karenina as an anniversary gift? Interlude: Disney Pin Trading and Emo Stitch. Ryan Vs.

Sports Short: Benching your guys for better draft picks. Outro.
info_outlineWe try our hand at a Family Friendly Episode. Or at least "MCU-level" family friendliness. To predictably nonsensical results. Ryan presents Wacky Obscure Incomplete Headlines from Around the Globe. In "City Mascot Game" we create a mascot for Little Rock, Arkansas. Will it be an AR-enabled Kansas, or a bunch of Little Rocks (small versions of the wrestler)? Well listen and find out already! In a "What's the Deal" Special Investigation, we dig in to a spooky-dirty (but charming? maybe?) Long Island Arcade that's up for sale. It just needs an indoor roller coaster. Brian gives us a recap of the 2021 NFL Season, and a bonus sexy Florida Sports Short.
