  • Finding Joy by Nerfing Yourself into the Diamond League of Life
    Feb 23 2026

    Episode Description: In this episode, we dive into the ego-bruising world of adult sports leagues, from the "mercy rule" misery of kickball to the hyper-competitive meta-gaming of social deduction. We discuss why sometimes the most "alpha" move you can make is purposefully whiffing a pickleball shot just to keep the vibes alive. Join us as we explore why nerfing your own skills is the only way to actually enjoy the "Diamond League" of adulthood without becoming the person everyone hates at the local park.

    Key highlights:

    1. The Dodgeball Pros: Why playing against people with 10,000 hours of practice ruins the amateur spirit.
    2. The "Skill Tax": Proposing a system to stop "stacked" teams from bullying the beer-spritzer league.
    3. Social Deduction Snobbery: Why turning "Werewolf" into a logic puzzle sucks the soul out of lying to your friends.
    4. The Strategic Whiff: A masterclass in "nerfing" yourself to ensure your friends (and your dad) actually want to play with you again.

  • Beat Inflation by Hoarding Pennies and Swallowing Gum
    Feb 16 2026
    Episode Summary

    In a world where a protein bar costs $2 and a six-figure salary feels like the new "middle class," the guys get into the absurdity of modern inflation. From memories of 89-cent gas to a heated debate over whether you can actually mow a lawn with your own strength and some metal, this episode is a survival guide for the "Extremely Broke," as told by two rich ass white guys. We’re talking home-baked bread, animal fat soap, and why you should probably start saving your pennies, even if the government stopped making them months ago.

    Key Discussion Points
    1. The Microplastic Lifestyle: Why are they in our muscles? Why are they in our testicles? A lighthearted look at our inevitable transformation into "Plastic Man."
    2. The Economics of Gum: Swallowing gum to maximize every calorie. If it stays in your stomach for seven years, that’s just a long-term nutritional investment, right?
    3. The "New" Six Figures: Discussing how $100k isn't what it used to be and why we need to "regress" to survive.
    4. The "Extremely Broke" Survival Guide: * Stop buying "finished goods" like Wonder Bread and Bologna.
    5. The art of making bread from scratch for actual pennies.
    6. Shaving with a straight razor and bar soap to avoid the $4 "small can" of Barbasol.
    7. The Great Lawn Mower Debate: A legendary showdown between manual rotary mowers and the "unstoppable" thick grass of the American suburbs.

    Memorable Quotes"I feel like the dollar is the new penny. That’s how bad it’s affected me.""Grass is dumb, I'm smart."

  • The Lost Art of Wiping Butts
    Feb 9 2026

    Episode Summary: In today's intimate episode, we dive deep into the porcelain throne's biggest controversy: The Bidet vs. Toilet Paper. What starts as a simple recommendation for personal hygiene quickly devolves into a historical, scientific, and slightly graphic debate on the "proper" way to clean up. From ancient Roman communal sponges to the physics of the "Cobra Strike" dab, no stone (or stick) is left unturned.

    In This Episode, We Cover:

    1. The Bidet Revolution: Why water wins every time.
    2. The Smear Campaign: Is dry paper just moving the problem around?.
    3. Hygiene History: How ancient civilizations—and ChatGPT—handled the business.
    4. The Wet Wipe Dilemma: Why they’re great for you but terrible for your pipes.
    5. Personal Techniques: An unnecessary deep dive into the "upper," "downer," and the "dab".
