We're back and Maxx is having a full meltdown over YouTube comments calling him "unrelatable" for... checks notes ...buying an Escalade he explicitly said he wasn't buying. Meanwhile, Joe casually admits he'd consider going gay after 20 years in prison (yes, really), and Shawley confesses to being a saint who cleans up other people's pee at the gym. This episode escalates quickly from counting to 100 in one breath to some WILD bathroom etiquette confessions that'll make you question everything.

The boys dive deep into AI videos fooling their parents, polar bears that have never met penguins (geography lesson of the century), and whether you should negotiate literally everything in life. Christian's still waiting on his house after a year and a half, Joe's new Porsche is broken and stuck in Germany for two months, and Charlie's sperm count went from 440K to 134 MILLION. We're talking life updates, IVF journeys, and why stepping in gas station pee is apparently a divisive topic.

Things get spicy when they tackle the ICE situation in Minnesota, immigration reform, and why politicians calling federal agents "not real law enforcement" is causing chaos. Between debates about whether you'd use a decorative family heirloom towel to wipe (Charlie would), discussions about cursing around kids, and Joe's very specific elevator anxiety, this might be the most unhinged episode yet. Buckle up.

Welcome back to the pod! In this episode, we kick things off swapping New Year's stories, talking about wild neighborhood parties, and the chaos of fireworks season. There's plenty of friendly roasting, a few questionable parenting confessions, and some classic "back in my day" tales that'll have you laughing (or cringing).

We get into some real talk about HOA drama, barking dogs, and the art of being a good neighbor. Then it's off the rails with stories about mudding, off-roading, and the time someone's Jeep didn't quite survive the adventure. Plus, we dive into some unexpected territory with daycare scams, government fraud, and a heated debate about who's really running the show in Minnesota and Venezuela.

To wrap it up, we get into food cravings, soul food recommendations, and a little bit of everything else—guns, sagging pants, and why Cracker Barrel is apparently the most controversial restaurant in America. If you're here for laughs, hot takes, and a little chaos, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Whether it's touching on the powerful history of athletic prowess or exploring the mysteries of the universe, this episode brings raw, relatable dialogue right to the forefront. A must-watch as we engage in candid moments of self-reflection, laughter, and even some playful banter.
