The Emo Episode Part 1 (with Kamal)
Reasons For The Apocalypse
Special guest Kamal joins the boys in Part 1 of our Emo Episode Series. What's the deal with emo, anyway? We talk our personal emo origin stories, what songs we thought would magically make girls like us, emo as early-2000's fashion, emo gateway bands, burning mix CD's, and why the car sun visor CD case was designed to scratch CD's. At the 55 minute mark, we shift into our first Nicky's Advice Corner submitted from a guest as Kamal seeks Nicky's dating advice. Thank you for listening.

Dr. Pepper's Kiss (w/ Saraya)
Reasons For The Apocalypse
Friend (and sibling) of the show, Saraya, joins us to fill in for Ryan who is still on hiatus! We start with a topic: What's the best thing you can get from a quarter vending machine? Then, "Nicky's Advice Corner:" did she make too big of a scene when the server brought out an already-opened can of soda? At the 45 minute mark the theme continues with our Tiermaker segment "Tierdrop Saloon:" Soda! Whatever you call it: soda, pop, coke... Which of the world's beloved fizzy beverages will make the S-Tier and what ends up on the "f*ck off" tier? Finally, we end with plugging some weird songs no...

Bible vs. Marvel
Reasons For The Apocalypse
Rod, Brian and Nick take the reigns and shake up the format a little in this episode. In Part 1: We start with an extended Video Game Tree House segment with our opinions on Final Fantasy Rebirth, Final Fantasy nostalgia in general, and some of our favorite games at the time of the recording. Then we haphazardly stumble into some great feuds: Canes vs. Walking Sticks. Bible vs. Marvel. Taking Back Sunday vs. Brand New vs. Straylight Run, and a visit to the Emo Speculation Basement. In Part 2: Tierdrop Saloon - At the 45 minute mark, we shift over to a ranking classifc stores at the...

All Signs Point to Snookie (In a Tesla Underwater With Time to Kill)
Reasons For The Apocalypse
We have no show outline for this one so we turn to an old form of entertainment: asking the Magic 8 Ball. Also: What modern TV show would make a good retro video game? Can we name all the Jersey Shore characters? And which one of them would you want to have at your sleep over? Can the Magic 8 ball predict death? No sports short in this one but a rare "Sports Q&A." It's all fitting nonsense for our 50th episode! Much like Outback this one is no rules, just right!

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...

I'm Not Oh-cake (I Promise)
Reasons For The Apocalypse
Water bottle chat and video games. Famous celebrities who used long cigarette holders. Nicky's Advice Corner - Am I wrong for getting upset that my girlfriend didn't bake me the flavor of cake I wanted for my birthday... Or was she for not baking it? Ryan's Nighttime Championship - Ryan vs. the Art of Manliness. A timely Sports Short on the 2023 NFL season! See how accurate Brian's predictions were for last season. Thank you for listening.
info_outlineOpening Discussion Topic: those childhood friends who would lie about their parents having cool jobs, only for real. Then Ryan presents a new segment, Ordinary Obituaries, and we learn about the life of a brave man who lived his clowning, balooning dreams. Nicky's Advice Corner: am I in the wrong if I don't want to play my boyfriend's secret game blindfolded? Cancellation Corner: We take a look at "Aliens in the Family," a mostly forgotten TGIF-era sitcom about a half-alien family and their full-alien baby, a show maybe most notable for making Urkel angry. Then we close on a Sports Short: Old QB's are new again.
