Episodes
-
S02E03 - Why Do You Believe The Things You Believe? (PS We Don't Believe You)
Time flies when you're locked down, boozed up and inside out. It doesn't really. It drags. Like how conspiracy theorists and racists are dragging down the world (we only take the boldest stances here at Sugarfacts). Listen up and listen well to more tales of crazy people. Max is getting into...
-
S03E02 - We Get Radicalized (or, Can Two People Who Love Napping Ever Be Truly Woke)
Bookworms unite! Let us regale you with more facts and opinionoids from the world of scholarship. We continue the theme of extremism in tonight's fun filled episode. Left wing nut jobs and religious people standing outside of their minds. Max wishes cancel culture would come for us.
-
S03E01 - We Get Extreme (or, Jo and Brian Prove They Can Read)
We're back nerds! We ask the age old question, "Can just anyone do a podcast?" The answer may surprise you! Do you like books? Do you like people talking about them? Season three is all about the written word. Max blew himself up with a homemade bomb.
-

Aaaaand we're back. Enjoy a morsel of madcap tomfoolery with your two favorite delusional out-patients. Bigger fare will be uploaded later in the week.
-
S02 - Special: The Witching Hour (or, A Terrifying Trio of Tales)
Come with us on a ghastly journey into the bowels of night! Yes, we're two weeks late with this one but at least we weren't three weeks late. Or four. Honestly we were just too scared by our own content. Max is picking razor blades out of apples.
-

-
S02Special - The Great Debate (or, Two Masochists Get Alcohol Poisoning)
Let's melt our brains together! We tune in (almost live) for the first (last?) US Presidential Debate of 2020. Shouting, interrupting, old dudes sneering at each other - political theater at its most nauseating! Max is out pricing coffins for American Democracy.
-
Sugarfacts! Special 50th Anniversary (or, Two Narcissists Walk Into A Bar And Pig Out)

-
S02E06 - Eat The Rich (or, Send Us Your Extra Cash!)
What would you do if you had eleventyone billion dollars? Doesn't matter - we'd still judge you. Listen in as we discuss gold poo pills, dead sharks, ominous future clocks, freaky face-lifts and more! Max is looking into buying all the sound in the world and charging for it.
-
S02E06 - SUGAR BUMP
What better way to spend 5 minutes than listening to two inebriated fools entertain each other? Sure, it's 300 seconds of your life you're never getting back - but you weren't getting them back anyway.

Tales of murder and MAYHEM! What does Bob Marley's toe and the Norwegian Black Metal scene have in common? Answer: they both appear in this week's episode (that's it, that's the only connection). Put on your corpse paint and tin-foil hats. Max insists he was into reggae before it was "cool".
