    213. THE GOAT OF GOATS

    In this episode, Foss starts things off with a blown tire on the way to the studio, and somehow the chaos continues. The boys dive into the weirdness of working on the 4th of July while overseas support teams took the day off, reflect on family fireworks traditions, and talk about the dangers of celebrating in the wrong neighborhood. They react to the news of the final Fast & Furious film bringing back Paul Walker (CGI edition), and Scarlett Johansson officially becoming the highest-grossing actor ever. Then things get wild with Joey Chestnut’s absurd eating records (RIP 12 pounds of asparagus), a Utah Domino’s explosion that looked like a Michael Bay movie, and Rush Hour getting a Gen Z warning. But the mood turns heavy as they break down the heartbreaking Texas summer camp floods that left dozens dead—including heroic stories that deserve to be remembered. They end on updates about the Idaho killer and what’s next in the case. 00:00 – Tire Blowout & Starting Off Rough 00:50 – What If the Blowout Saved Your Life? 02:00 – 4th of July, Outsourced Support, and Abu Dhabi Jokes 04:30 – Fireworks Traditions, Scared Kids & West Jordan Drama 06:00 – Grandma Wants Fireworks at 7PM 08:00 – Rodeos, Monster Trucks & $90 Tickets 10:10 – Fast & Furious Finale News (Back to LA) 12:00 – How Will They Bring Paul Walker Back? 14:25 – Scarlett Johansson is Now the Highest-Grossing Actor 17:00 – Top Grossing Actors Ranked 20:45 – Tom Cruise vs. Robert Downey Jr 23:45 – Joey Chestnut is the GOAT of GOATS? 26:00 – His Insane World Records (Tacos, Wontons, Tamales) 31:00 – Could a Latino Beat the Tamale Record? 34:00 – Domino’s Explosion in Utah 36:00 – What’s the Best Chain Pizza? 37:00 – Gen Z Rush Hour Warning Rant 39:00 – Comedy Should Be Offensive Sometimes 41:00 – Tropic Thunder & Tom Cruise’s Funniest Role 42:45 – Tragic Texas Summer Camp Flood (Dozens Dead) 47:00 – Father Saves Family on Floating Mattress 51:00 – Real Heroes: Julian Ryan & Camp Staff 54:00 – Mexican Firefighters Helping in Texas 56:00 – Idaho Killer Update: Guilty Plea 59:00 – To Be Continued… Outro

    210. WHY CAN’T WE HAVE NICE THINGS

    In this powerful episode of The Eight Podcast, Javi and Fossie recap their wild weekends—Fossie’s trip to Denver for a concert and clubbing experience, and Javi attending a baby shower and giving Father’s Day shoutouts. But things take a serious turn as they unpack two tragic shootings: one at a downtown Salt Lake protest where a peacekeeper fatally shot a bystander, and another at West Fest where a teen opened fire—killing three people, including a baby. They reflect on Utah’s growing violence, why West Valley can’t seem to catch a break, and how lower-income areas face deeper systemic issues. They even go global, talking about Iran’s threats and U.S. military dominance. 💔 RIP to the victims.
