Ep. 158 - Our Final Podcast Episode

It's the last episode in the current studio, and the crew showed up early — like 6 AM early — to send it off right. Joe somehow dragged himself in a week after having a baby, Russell made a rare appearance, and the whole gang got together one more time before the move. Things kicked off with Joe deep in his Black Instagram era, sharing everything from pineapple Kool-Aid trends to cartoon food culture, then somehow spiraling into a full debate about prom send-offs and whether a military tank is an appropriate way to send your kid to prom. From there the conversation went everywhere it had no business going — Drake's surprise triple album drop, the greatest rap albums of all time, the Michael Jackson biopic, MJ's allegations, Morgan Wallen saying the N-word, Chris Brown's ongoing controversies, Kanye's downfall, and the Kevin Hart roast. No topic was off limits and nobody held back. Classic Don't Be Sour energy from start to finish. The back half of the episode had the guys debating Pokémon games, GTA VI hype, what happened to Halo, and Joe's surprisingly detailed history of owning nine-foot pet pythons. They wrapped things up talking about My Fit Foods, meal prep, and what it actually feels like to get older, slow down on social media, and prioritize family. It was a good one. See you in the new studio.

Ep. 153 - Big Arguments, Intense Choices & Trump Peace Deal

Five guys, zero filters. This week the whole crew is back for a packed episode that somehow goes from debating Maxx's new haircut to deep geopolitical breakdowns. Along the way we get into whether Hollywood action movies have a woke agenda, David's mysterious Spain villa situation, and a very passionate argument about whether you should be using paper plates as a grown adult. Things get real when we talk microplastics, a mile race challenge between Max and David, Joe's baby due date getting moved up out of nowhere, and the crew hyping up an upcoming gender reveal. We also dig into some movie and show recommendations — Invincible, The Housemaid, and a creepy Netflix limited series that's got Maxx hooked — plus a wild hypothetical about who in the group you'd take a jail sentence for. We close it out with a long one on everything happening with Trump and Iran — the peace deal, the oil prices, the Strait of Hormuz, US funding of Israel, midterms, impeachment odds, and whether there's a power above the president pulling strings. Oh, and Melania said something about Epstein and the Luigi Mangione case might not be what it seemed. Just another normal Episode.

Energy Availability and the Menstrual Cycle: How to Support Your Body + Performance | with host Emily Duncan

Women's health and the menstrual cycle is pretty misunderstood. After the menstrual cycle basics episode went over so well with everyone, I wanted to continue creating more content about women's health, especially menstrual health. It breaks my heart that so many of us, self included, don't truly learn about our physiology and our body's natural cycles until our 20s or 30s, sometimes even later, or until we're dealing with some kind of reproductive health issue. When we can learn how to work with our bodies instead of constantly trying to drop kick them into submission, not only can we live healthier lives, but we can actually make more fitness progress. I've seen it time and time again both in myself and in clients: when female physiology is operating as female physiology is meant to, i.e. we have a healthy, reliable period, we perform better, build muscle and lose fat more easily, and overall experience a higher quality of life. Today I want to talk about one of the biggest "offenders" in the health and fitness space. Today, we're going to be talking about Energy Availability, amenorrhea, and how chronic dieting, aka chronically under-consuming Calories, negatively impacts the menstrual cycle. This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only, and is not meant to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical conditions or ailments.

EP. 157 - Joe Had a Baby, Home Nightmares & Pokémon Problems

After two weeks off, the guys are back and wasting no time catching up. Joe kicks things off with the full story of his daughter Stevie's arrival — three weeks early, 22 hours of labor, a surprise water break on Amanda's birthday, a tense moment with the anesthesiologist, and a NICU scare that had everyone holding their breath. It's raw, real, and hilarious in all the right places. From there the conversation flows naturally into new dad life, paternity leave debates, car upgrades (Joe bought an Escalade and may or may not have already ordered a TRX), Maxx's ongoing long hair journey, a surprisingly deep dive into Pokémon card collecting and PSA grading conspiracy theories, home design rabbit holes, and whether Christian's 49-fixture lighting quote for his house extension is a cry for help. The back half gets into Iran and the oil market, the stock market doing its thing, and Christian's new "Brick" device that's physically locking him out of Instagram — sparking a bigger conversation about screen time, AI acting as a yes-man, and whether we're all just doom scrolling our way through life. Oh, and Joe asks the group a deeply personal question about breast milk. Standard episode. Don't Be Sour is back.

Ep. 150 - Addressing The Drama, Mormon Wives & Political Destruction

We're celebrating 150 episodes with this one! Things kick off with us clearing the air about some rodeo facts we got hilariously wrong last episode—turns out PETA reached out and the internet had opinions. We dive deep into cow terminology (heifer drama included), debate whether crawfish are actually roaches, and somehow end up discussing everything from baby showers to whether Maxx should commit to wearing cowboy hats full-time. The middle of the episode gets chaotic in the best way. We're talking Mormon Wives (yes, we know way too much about that show), clickbait thumbnails, Steve Cook randomly visiting town, and Christian finally moving into his new house. There's also a solid stretch about wildlife encounters—deer in the backyard, snake removal via chainsaw, and why you shouldn't feed wild animals even though it's tempting. We wrap things up getting into the heavy stuff: the Trump-Iran situation, what's really happening with the regime, and why the job market is absolutely cooked right now thanks to AI. Joe breaks down the coding apocalypse, we discuss homelessness and economic issues, and debate whether AI could actually make a better podcast than us (spoiler: probably). Just another 2 hours of us talking about literally everything.

Ep. 152 - Pregnancy Announcement, Supercar Purchase & Iran Chaos

The boys are back for another unfiltered episode, and this one starts with a bang — Shawley drops the big news that his wife is pregnant, and the crew can barely contain their excitement. Between Christian nearly spoiling it multiple times over the past few weeks and Shawley's story of buying twelve pregnancy tests in one day just to be sure, the whole announcement is equal parts hilarious and genuinely heartfelt. The guys weigh in on gender predictions, debate baby names, and reflect on what fatherhood has meant to each of them. From there, the conversation flows into the usual chaotic mix of life updates — Christian's new house is getting a controversial brick slurry makeover (the comment section is NOT happy), and the crew recaps an intense backyard basketball game that had everyone gassed out and talking trash. Maxx somehow drains back-to-back threes to save the series, Joe admits he couldn't make a single layup, and the whole thing devolves into a debate about running pace, body image, and whether Maxx could go sub-six on a mile. The back half of the episode gets into some heavier territory — Tiger Woods' DUI footage, an influencer getting caught photoshopping her face onto another creator's body, Joe's deep dive into car depreciation and supercar history, and a candid conversation about Trump's Iran address, the ongoing conflict, and what it actually means for everyday people. The guys wrap it up with thoughts on the middle class, the Artemis moon launch, Joe's new allergy shot regimen, and Easter weekend plans. Another long one, another good one.

Ep. 156 - YouTube Struggles, Gen Z Problems & Tipping Culture Outrage

The boys are back and as chaotic as ever. This week kicks off with the group roasting a bad group photo, diving into Instagram's AI flash filter that's literally regenerating people's faces, and reminiscing about the FaceTune era — including some very detailed ab-etching confessions. From there it's the usual rabbit holes: Joe's dog is in diapers, someone got scammed at a gas station by a fake 8K projector, Maxx rolled his ankle attempting a skate trick and lost a tooth crown the same week, and somehow bathroom debates make yet another appearance. The crew gets into the NBA playoffs in full detail, breaks down tipping culture (20% minimum vs. absolutely not at Starbucks), and has a surprisingly heated conversation about whether getting scammed is just a rite of passage at this point. There's also a full deep dive into AI pricing hikes, vibe coding, what each of them actually says when someone asks what they do for work, and whether saying "bye-bye" on the phone is genuinely weird or completely normal. To close things out, the guys talk YouTube — subscriber counts, consistency struggles, and why Joe hasn't uploaded in nearly three years but keeps teasing it on his stories. Summer travel plans get floated, Maxx teases a podcast studio refresh, Christian's committing to a real upload schedule, and Joe's baby is officially weeks away. Same group, same energy, somehow always two hours long.

Ep. 151 - Major Life Decisions, Relationship Advice & Media Backlash

Welcome back to another chaotic episode of the Don't Be Sour podcast! We kick things off with the burning question: why do only 3,600 of you thumbs up our videos when 44,000 are watching? Come on, people! From there, we spiral into the important debates of our time—like why tank tops are called what they're called (thanks, 1900s mugshots), whether clickbait titles are the boy who cried wolf, and a very passionate argument about crawfish being seafood. Spoiler: Shawley was wrong. The guys dive deep into the new Harry Potter series casting choices, with Joe having STRONG opinions about Snape that will make total sense once you hear his very specific reasoning. Christian confesses to his love of solo movie theater trips (falling asleep 30% of the time), while Joe reveals the struggles of sleeping next to a pregnant wife who's started snoring. Plus: Easter basket gift advice that might save your relationship, running tips from people who definitely aren't professional runners, and the revelation that elite marathoners are apparently just pooping everywhere. Things get real as the crew discusses Joe's baby countdown (77 days!), Charlie's seven-month milestones, Christian's new house obsession, and why they're all about to destroy each other in pickup basketball despite Max wearing tennis shoes with custom insoles. We also touch on the current state of YouTube, caffeinated beverage consumption that would terrify the FDA, childhood stories involving smoking newspaper filled with hay, and whether war in Iran is going to tank the economy. Wrap it all up with pedicure reviews, fishing trip planning, and podcast studio renovation dreams. Just another day at the Don't Be Sour podcast!
