    Episode 2342 - Kid A.G., El Pres and Hat Trick celebrate nearly a year with the Fireman, El Pres attempts to defend a lifetime of questionable arithmetic, and Kid discovers that twenty-two years of podcasting have apparently turned The Goin' Deep Show into an unofficial research institute for human stupidity. There's a mystery involving identical twins, political text messages, malfunctioning relationships, AI digging through the show's archives, and smartphones that seem to know entirely too much. Somewhere between the relationship checklists and an argument over the invention of texting, the crew realizes that technology has improved everything except the people operating it.

    Touching Dad's Dick Pump

    Episode 2341 – Kid and Fiona open by roasting weight-loss pills, move straight into taint maintenance and a porn star whose p***y starts roughly a millimeter above her a*****e, then spend the bulk of the hour on a friend who's new guy checks every box except the one that matters and the practical advice that follows (wedges, plugs, pumps). The conversation detours through Fiona's dad's old dick pump, a redhead with a mouth that could host a group, road sex logistics, and whether sobriety has made Kid into the kind of polite person he used to mock. They close on relationship math—one person, boundaries, smoothie-shop meet-cutes—and the recurring observation that the edge is what people actually stick around for.

    Airplane Bean Flicker and Boundaries

    Episode 2340 - Kid A.G. and El Pres ease in with a listener text from Jaybird and a song preview meant for Nurse Fiona before landing on the latest South Park run. The Sephora episode and the looksmaxxing app bit land hardest; both hosts note how the show still finds the low-budget freak-out lane and how the Paramount/Skydance money hasn't shut the jokes down. From there the treadmill session with the weighted vest becomes the through-line—six miles, hips and knees needing stretch time, a 30-pounder that forces better posture, and the April ruck date sitting out there.   That training talk opens the midlife section. A video about the U-shaped happiness curve for Gen X gets picked apart: most people bottom out then climb once they can choose their own stuff, while Kid A.G. describes his own line as basically flat and high the whole way because he has been drawing and playing baseball since he could hold a crayon. Bachelor-party stories surface (both ended early and messy), dad conversations get a quick pass, and El Pres drops the retirement dream involving a Home Depot t-shirt, morning wood, and a paint bucket. The tone stays practical rather than crisis-mode.   Relationships take the next stretch. The hosts work through the difference between liking someone and deciding not to wreck the friendship, the way physical stuff changes the math, and how women often set the early boundary. Hat Trick's fireman getting divorced gets the most air; both worry about the alone-time needs and the long stretches she has been known to disappear. A feral "lick my shit" clip gets played as the 40-something marker. Social-media couple pictures versus solo male profiles get called out as territory marking, and both hosts float stepping back from Facebook and personal Instagram in favor of a dumb phone, a watch, and Pinterest boards that actually feed design work.   Headlines arrive late and scattershot. Anthropic's report on a China studio running 4,700 AI personas across dating apps and 2.36 million messages in two weeks gets the "people are flirting with robots" treatment. An early-flight bean-flicking story, the Walmart pet-aisle incident involving lamb-chop dog toys, and the woman who kept her mother in a garage freezer for two years while collecting benefits all get quick passes. Baseball closes the main block: loyalty to one team (Gwynn, Trammell, Ripken), frustration with players chasing the biggest check, preference for every game of a series instead of short ones, and the specific memory of standing at Comerica for Game 1 of the 2006 World Series while "Working for the Weekend" played. The episode ends with a new Suno track and the usual reminder to call 989-431-3314 to leave us a wonderfully well thought out voicemail message. Go Deep.

    Nurse Fiona Is Getting an Upgrade

    Episode 2339 - Nurse Fiona is getting a titty upgrade, and Kid and El Pres have more questions than any respectable medical professional would ever entertain. Things get progressively more ridiculous when the crew revisits legendary adult performer Heather Brooke and the jaw-dropping talents that made her an early internet sensation. Kid digs deep into the GDS archives to resurrect the infamous Christmas story, the gang mourns its embarrassing fall in the raunchy podcast rankings, and Hat Trick's bizarre adventures in the foot fetish business prove there's a market for just about anything. Somewhere between turning Fiona into a Jackson Pollock masterpiece and debating the absurdities of internet porn, Kid declares war on Bud Zero, discusses a possible Lansing serial killer, and delivers a passionate defense of baseball as the greatest sport on the planet. Throw in root beer floats, questionable relationship advice, AI-generated garbage, and enough inappropriate nostalgia to fill a psychiatric textbook, and you've got another Goin' Deep Show where growing older clearly hasn't translated into growing the f**k up.

    22 Years Later and Somehow We're Still Allowed to Do This

    Episode 2338: The 22nd anniversary starts without much ceremony because apparently after more than two decades even the intro can be added later. Kid and Nurse Fiona settle back into the studio and immediately discover that absolutely nothing has changed. Mr. Kleen gets dragged into the conversation despite not actually being there, old GDS characters start resurfacing, technical problems remain undefeated and Fiona and Kid conclude that they may essentially be each other's emotional support humans. From there, the episode wanders through relationships, dating disasters, friendship, communication, people addicted to drama and the strange collection of characters accumulated over two decades of doing the show. El Pres eventually joins the room, bringing another branch of GDS history with him and turning the episode into something halfway between an anniversary show and three friends sitting around opening boxes marked DO NOT OPEN. There are stories about bizarre dates, old relationships, unfortunate decisions, animals causing havoc, the mysterious Builder, Mr. Kleen disappearing from regular GDS duty and the strange ways people enter, leave and occasionally wander back into your life. But buried underneath all of that is probably the real subject of the episode. Twenty-two years is a long damn time. Kid looks back at the beginning of the show, when a group of people in their late twenties had cheap equipment, called friends without warning and basically used the podcast as an excuse to hang out. Nobody sitting around those microphones in 2004 could have predicted they were accidentally starting something that would still exist 22 years later. And maybe that's what GDS actually became. Not just episodes. A record. People arrived. People disappeared. Relationships started and ended. Kids grew up. Friends changed. Technology changed. The hosts got older. Some people became family. Some became stories. And the microphones kept recording all of it. By the end, nobody announces some grand reinvention. It's simpler than that. Twenty-two years are in the books. Now make it 22 more. Go Deep.

    Seven Women a Year: El Pres Stat Breakdown

    Episode 2337 - Kid ,El Pres and Zaldor recap a weekend that somehow crams a film festival, live music, aggressive people-watching, Justin Verlander, mysterious admirers, missing passes that weren't actually missing, non-alcoholic beer, dating philosophy and an unexpected statistical investigation into El Pres's past. Then Kid gets properly irritated about people policing AI and creativity, arguing that artists have always stolen, sampled, collaged, remixed and adapted whatever tools happened to be sitting in front of them. Add phones quietly poisoning everybody's sanity and the realization that getting older means you'd better enjoy the good parts while they're happening, and you've basically got the weekend. Its the 22nd Anniversary of the Podcast.  Yes you read that correctly.  Oct. 2, 2004 was the first ever recording and this is episode 2,337 of this b******t.  Go Deep.

    Four Stars for How You Eat

    Kid and El Pres settle in for an episode openly built from poor preparation, scattered headlines and the sincere belief that eventually something resembling a subject will emerge. It begins with Hell's Half Mile Film Festival reaching its twentieth year and Kid looking forward to seeing months of design work finally walking around town on shirts, passes, programs and banners. That leads into a surprisingly honest conversation about adultification, maintaining curiosity and finding room for creative work when responsibility keeps eating the calendar. Then the phones take over. After watching a mother and child cross the street while staring at separate screens, Kid argues that everybody is technically connected while being mentally absent. He remembers forcing a baseball crew to stack their phones in the middle of a table, instantly transforming a distracted gathering into an actual conversation. Naturally, this thoughtful meditation on modern isolation is followed by a man blasting strangers with an air cannon loaded with concentrated farts. Baseball enters the mess through the Savannah Bananas, constant MLB rule changes, the end of vintage base ball season and the possibility of catching one final Tigers game. Kid also recommits himself to a fifty-mile ruck despite having previously topped out around twenty-two miles, while El Pres counts down the remaining days until retirement and dreams of reversing his current responsibility-to-fun ratio. Politics eventually barges through the door when El Pres reveals that voting for the wrong Senate candidate could supposedly end his relationship. The source of the opposing political research appears to be TikTok, which does not impress Kid. That becomes a larger argument about political ultimatums, straight-ticket thinking, selective outrage, expensive gas, mangled government hearings and a country increasingly willing to say every quiet part directly into a microphone. Elsewhere, the guys admire an e-bike that costs roughly as much as a used car, complain that streaming subscriptions have recreated cable at a higher price and anticipate another expensive October of chasing baseball broadcasts. A story about people fantasizing about becoming miniature sends the show into its final strange corridor, where first-time nerves, hypothetical performance reviews from former partners and personal grooming become the closest thing the episode has to a conclusion. The official lesson: if you want somebody to leave, apparently all you need to do is vote differently. Also, never hand these two an unorganized stack of headlines unless you have seventy minutes to lose.

    Something's Wrong With Kid

    Kid is apparently conducting several experiments on himself at once. First, he's stopped drinking. Now he's stopped jerking off. Instead of instant gratification, he's getting shit done around the house, which apparently means turning an unwanted shed into a free rage room with an axe and sledgehammer. Underneath all that demolition is the actual meat of the episode. Kid is cautiously interested in somebody who lives several states away, which sends the room into a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about long-distance relationships, missing people, hearing someone's voice instead of just firing off texts, and whether modern phones have made communication easier while quietly making relationships worse. That leads directly into micro-cheating, checking your partner's phone and Kid resurrecting his longtime nuclear option: the complete phone swap. If two people are really locking in, swap numbers, inherit the incoming riffraff and start answering some serious questions. Naturally, Hatrick then drags the conversation back into the gutter with the six-foot-eight cousin, Fireman, old hookups, enormous hands and the return of the legendary Dragoncock, whose current dimensions apparently require independent verification and a standardized object for scale. There's also a trip through Goin' Deep history as Kid revisits the infamous Quifford Sutherland episode, originally episode 342 from September 2007 and later rebroadcast as episode 914. Listening back becomes its own weird experience because Kid now has more than two decades of himself sitting there waiting for anybody he dates to discover. Nothing inspires confidence quite like receiving a link from someone you're interested in and immediately wondering what horrible thing Past Kid said into a microphone. Finally, the show wanders into AI potentially ending humanity, expensive new phones stuffed with even more AI, superhero villains, political nonsense and the general realization that nobody in the room can personally stop civilization from collapsing anyway. So the plan is simple: fix the house, survive the schedule, enjoy life, have better relationships and apparently f**k as much as possible before the machines take over.
