    Master Chief Beach Week

    Master Chief Beach Week

    Gimmick month continues with our first-annual Master Chief Beach Week, the replacement holiday full of sand, sun and fun! Or that's what the copy says anyway, in practice it's mostly talk about the various ways that white people ruin the beach without even enjoying it themselves, in addition to various diversions concerning bumper stickers, scented markers, what a Halo even is actually, the names of various guys from Halo, and you can bet your little space pants, somehow even more.

    John, Niki and LB are all in the same place! Wowie zowie! That means an in-person recording, which also means the audio is a little roomier than usual, but the vibes are still just like you like 'em! Topics of discussion for this week include (but are not limited to) the world of dreams, emotionally insensitive burlesque performers, Dan Ryckert's upcoming zone scoop, True Detective Season 2, leaving a five-star review on a podcast called If You're Driving, Close Your Eyes, and somehow, even more.

During their travels, the group discusses many topics of importance, including why Jon Bon Jovi cheated on his wife, what the white lady from TikTok is up to these days, the various slogans of Outback Steakhouse, which birds are/aren't birds, and demonstrably, somehow even more.

    The Artist’s Dilemma

    The Artist’s Dilemma

    In what is perhaps our most cracked episode to date, LB, Niki and John struggle to overcome a well of extreme negative energy by playing jenga, inventing new uses for numbers stations, selling phone numbers for more ketamine, re-learning Flonase, answering a telemarketer call live on the podcast, and against all odds, somehow even more.

Invigorating intellectual candy without the pretense

I saw a few clips of these guys on tiktok and was interested in what they had to offer my morning commute.

The clip that I saw ON tiktok finally came up in the backlog of previous podcasts and I will say for just coming for a few laughs on my morning commute, I got a platonic debate on the base definition of terms on a level not seen since the ancient Greek philosophers, only to have it abruptly end in a corn s*x toy review reading.

Absolutely love it, best podcast out there in what it does.

Are you wizards?

Best jpegs. Moaning in agony as my abdominal muscles disintegrate from laughing so hard. Video version make me laugh cry. Scam text theater is modern art.

Blippyboobear ,
