    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 394 Squatters' Rights

    Weird News Week is back, and with Jesse off Taming The Beast at Play N Trade, we've got a new face stepping into the fourth chair. Podcast newcomer Zach Mahoney from 107.5 The Power Loon joins The Gang, and within minutes it's obvious... he's WAY nerdier than anyone expected. From pop culture references to effortlessly jumping into the chaos, Zach fits right in as The Triforce Formation tackles another week of headlines that prove reality has officially gone off the rails. This week's stories include why having a healthy heart might be the key to successfully hiding a body, the one thing you should NEVER do if your eyeball feels tired, an arson suspect who chose a very unconventional way to ignite a fire, and one determined Mountain Dew fan who decided a porta potty was a perfectly reasonable place to go treasure hunting. The news is bizarre. The conversations go completely sideways. And by the end of the episode, you'll probably be questioning humanity just a little bit more than when you started.

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 393 80s Action Stars Ranked

    🚀 Jump into the Escape Pod because it's Draft Day once again on the iKnowBadeaux Podcast! 💥🎬 This week, Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse Huber take on one of the toughest rankings yet as we draft the Greatest Action Stars of the 1980s. But there's one important rule... 🔥 Only their work during the 1980s counts. That means legendary careers outside the decade don't matter. If an action icon didn't dominate the 80s, they're going to slide down the rankings—or maybe miss the draft altogether. Will Arnold Schwarzenegger reign supreme? Can Sylvester Stallone hold onto the top spot? Does Chuck Norris kick his way into the first round? What about Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Jean-Claude Van Damme, or Steven Seagal? Expect plenty of heated debates, surprising picks, controversial snubs, and enough one-liners to fill an entire VHS shelf. 🎧 Grab your aviators, load up the montage music, and join us as we settle one of the biggest debates in action movie history!     #iKnowBadeaux #80sAction #ActionMovies #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #SylvesterStallone #BruceWillis #ChuckNorris #JeanClaudeVanDamme #StevenSeagal #MelGibson #KurtRussell #HarrisonFord #MovieDraft #MoviePodcast #80sMovies #ActionHeroes #PopCulture #NostalgiaPodcast #RetroMovies #DraftDay

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 392 BKR 1986 Fan Picks

    🚀 Jump into the Escape Pod one last time as we wrap up our journey through 1986 with Episode 392 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast — Be Kind Rewind 1986: Fan Picks! 🎬✨ Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse Huber close out the 1986 series by handing the final movie selections over to YOU—the fans! And your picks couldn't have been more different... or more deserving. 🚂 Stand by Me is a coming-of-age masterpiece that reminds us why the best adventures don't need superheroes or special effects—just great friends and an unforgettable journey. Based on Stephen King's novella The Body, the film perfectly captures the innocence, humor, heartbreak, and uncertainty of growing up. Decades later, it remains one of the greatest stories about friendship ever put on film. 👽 Then we shift from heartfelt nostalgia to pulse-pounding action with Aliens, James Cameron's explosive sequel that took Ridley Scott's haunting sci-fi horror and transformed it into one of the greatest action films ever made. Sigourney Weaver's Ellen Ripley became a cinematic icon, and the film set the gold standard for blockbuster sequels. From quiet railroad tracks to terrifying xenomorphs, 1986 delivered unforgettable stories in every genre, and these fan picks are the perfect way to close out another incredible year of Be Kind Rewind. 🎧 Hit play and rewind with us!   #iKnowBadeaux #BeKindRewind #1986Movies #StandByMe #Aliens #SigourneyWeaver #StephenKing #JamesCameron #MoviePodcast #FanPicks #80sMovies #RetroCinema #ComingOfAge #SciFiClassics #CultClassics #FilmDiscussion #NostalgiaPodcast #PopCulture #Throwback #MovieRewind

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 391 BKR 1986 Part Deux

    🚀 Jump into the Escape Pod and rewind to 1986 for Episode 391 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast — Be Kind Rewind 1986: Part Deux! 🎬✨ Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse Huber are back to tackle two films that couldn't be more different—but together perfectly capture the spirit of 1986. ✈️ Top Gun blasted into theaters and turned fighter pilots into rock stars. With unforgettable aerial action, a legendary soundtrack, and enough charisma to launch a thousand aviator sunglasses, the film became one of the defining movies of the decade. We discuss its impact, its legacy, and whether Maverick still flies as high today as he did in 1986. 🐉 Then we take a sharp turn into the weird and wonderful world of Big Trouble in Little China. Kurt Russell's Jack Burton may think he's the hero, but this cult classic is packed with martial arts action, ancient magic, monsters, and some of the most quotable dialogue of the 1980s. What wasn't appreciated by audiences in 1986 has become one of the most beloved cult films ever made. From danger zones to ancient curses, fighter jets to six-demon bags, this episode celebrates two movies that showcase just how diverse—and downright fun—1980s cinema could be. 🎧 Hit play and rewind with us!   #iKnowBadeaux #BeKindRewind #1986Movies #TopGun #BigTroubleInLittleChina #KurtRussell #TomCruise #JackBurton #Maverick #80sMovies #MoviePodcast #CultClassic #RetroCinema #JohnCarpenter #MovieRewind #FilmDiscussion #80sNostalgia #PopCulture #Podcast #Throwback

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 390 Be Kind Rewind 1986

    🚀 Jump into the Escape Pod and rewind to 1986 with Episode 390 of the iKnowBadeaux Podcast — Be Kind Rewind 1986! 🎧✨ Mayor Dave, Gabe, Scotty Pizza, and Jesse Huber are back to dive into a year that was packed with unforgettable music, iconic television, and snacks that changed the vending machine forever. 🎶 We kick things off with the music of 1986, a year when the charts were overflowing with larger-than-life personalities, unforgettable hooks, and some of the defining sounds of the decade. 🌮 Then we celebrate one of the greatest snack innovations of all time: Cool Ranch Doritos. Before 1986, ranch-flavored tortilla chips didn't exist—and after 1986, lunchboxes, convenience stores, and late-night snack runs would never be the same. 🎯 Next up is Double Dare, the game show that proved kids would do absolutely anything to get slimed on national television. From physical challenges to obstacle courses, it became must-see TV for an entire generation. 🧳 We also revisit Perfect Strangers, the fish-out-of-water sitcom that gave us Balki Bartokomous, the Dance of Joy, and one of the most memorable comedy pairings of the decade. 👽 And finally, we talk about ALF, the wisecracking alien from Melmac who crashed into suburban America and quickly became one of the biggest TV stars of the 1980s. From music and munchies to sitcoms and slime, 1986 delivered some of the most memorable pop culture moments of the decade, and we're breaking them all down. 🎧 Hit play and rewind with us!   #iKnowBadeaux #BeKindRewind #1986 #DoubleDare #ALF #PerfectStrangers #CoolRanchDoritos #80sTV #80sNostalgia #RetroTV #GameShows #Nickelodeon #Sitcoms #PopCulture #Podcast #Throwback #NostalgiaPodcast #RetroRewind #ClassicTelevision #80sKids

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Vault Episode 185: Burglary Ring

    The Mayor is hard at work helping prepare for Brainerd's American 250 Celebration and this year's 4th of July festivities, so we're cracking open The Escape Pod Vault for one of our favorite episodes from the past. This week we're rewinding the clock four years to Episode 185: Burglary Ring, an absolute classic featuring Meta Mandich and one of the most ridiculous rounds of That Ain't No Baby we've ever played. Inspired by the strange and unbelievable story of romance novelist Nancy Brophy, The Gang is tasked with identifying romance novels based solely on the descriptions from the back covers. What follows is exactly the kind of chaos you'd expect when a room full of grown adults tries to decipher the difference between real romance novels and complete nonsense. It's weird. It's hilarious. It's one of our favorite forgotten gems from the Escape Pod archives. So while the Mayor is busy celebrating America's 250th birthday, sit back, relax, and enjoy a trip back into the vault with Episode 185: Burglary Ring. Thank you for listening and thank you for continuing to support The Escape Pod!     #TheEscapePod #VaultEpisode #BurglaryRing #NancyBrophy #ThatAintNoBaby #ComedyPodcast #MetaMandich #ThrowbackEpisode #RomanceNovels #TrueCrime #CrimeStories #GameShow

    iKnowBadeaux Podcast Episode 389 That Ain't no Crime & Punishment

    Bill Satre is back, and that can only mean one thing... It's time for another round of That Ain't No Baby, the game where reality and complete nonsense collide in spectacular fashion. This time, we're heading straight into the criminal justice system for the Crime & Punishment Edition. The Gang is presented with a lineup of bizarre crimes, ridiculous charges, strange legal violations, and unbelievable offenses, and must determine which ones are actual criminal charges and which ones were completely fabricated by the twisted minds behind the game. The problem? Real life is often far stranger than fiction. From oddly specific laws and bizarre criminal offenses to charges that sound like they came from a rejected sitcom script, the crew quickly discovers that separating fact from fiction is much harder than it sounds. Every round leads to heated debates, questionable logic, and the horrifying realization that some of the dumbest things imaginable are somehow real. Can Bill continue his dominance in the game? Will the gang sniff out the fake charges? Or will reality once again prove to be the most ridiculous answer? Find out in another chaotic installment of That Ain't No Baby!     #ThatAintNoBaby #CrimeAndPunishment #BillSatre #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #WeirdLaws #CriminalCharges #TrueCrime #GameShow #TriviaGame #FunnyPodcast #LawAndOrder #BizarreCrimes #CriminalJustice #FakeOrReal #Comedy #PopCulture #GuessingGame #InternetTrivia #iKnowBadeaux
