    Episode 52: I Seent Pyutin Ridin' a UFO in Dundalk, Hon.

    With a war glooming around the corner and the potential for chaos at every step, why not lighten the mood with some dick jokes and fart sounds? A trio of Jeff, Scott, and the Beer Can share tales of the past while analyzing the present. From Ukraine to Richard Nixon, from NASA Nazis to the un-cancellable Joe Rogan, we tackle all topics while getting hammered on Founder's Backyard Bastard. The State of the Union is strong, but our tolerance for political nonsense and craft beer is stronger. DOWNLOAD, LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE!

    Episode 50: Mrs. McMahon, You're Trying to Seduce Me.

    _Another powerhouse of an episode for our Golden 50th. We showered down knowledge and witty judgmental insight on your candy axes. No one in Hollywood or Washington D.C. was safe during this audio odyssey. We crap on people locally, nationally, and globally because the trio does not believe in discrimination. The Beer Can tells of his latest swinging experience with the misses while Scott fills us in on why Vince McMahon is the Genetic Jackhammer. We discuss the extinction of malls, Jeff's recent vacation to Florida and once again, the worst US presidents of all time. Woodrow Wilson is the Lebron James of terrible presidents.

    Episode 49: Looking at the World Through a Bunghole

    Episode 49: Looking at the World Through a Bunghole

    Another strong episode in the books for the trio at the octagon. Guinea Juan graces us with his presence for number 49, along with those Sicilian rants we all know and love. The Beer Can is in rare form as we pick apart Matt Gaetz, voter reform in Georgia, and corruption in Baltimore City. We go around the table and ask what three people, living or dead, we'd like to have over for dinner. Guinea Juan craps all over Tucker Carlson while BCB explains his hatred for Stuttering John from the Stern Show. This podcast is a wild ride and you'll get off confused, slightly nauseous, and strangely wanting more. DOWNLOAD, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARRRREEEEE!!!!!!

    Episode 48: AOL and Pro Wrestling Porn: The Making of a Generation

    The gang is back at the table. Scott is in studio with the Beer Can and the debauchery ensues. With a quick dip in the poo-litical cess pool, the conversation quickly gets hijacked by a walk down professional wrestling's memory lane. And then we dive right back into the dumpster fire that is politics. This show is like a fart in the wind, the stench knows no direction. We talk about the illusion of choice, the top 50 selling artists of all time, and Owen Hart's tragic ending. What more could you ask for? DOWNLOAD, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE!

    Episode 47: Romancing the Trailer Park

    The boys bring it back to the studio and whip up another tantalizing talk of twisted topics. Guinea Juan shares his most recent treasures from his father's house of awesomeness while Beer Can Billy tells a tale of the stinkiest stogie this side of Dundalk. We cover politics, sports, music, the human experience of life in a trailer park. We do our annual critique of this year's "Rock and Roll" HOF nominees and find out that the Beer Can is a huge Dionne Warwick fan, who knew? Do yourself a favor, crack open a Founder's Backwoods Bastard, listen to this episode and forget about your troubles while we discuss our troubles. DOWNLOAD, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE SHARE!
