Remember Saturday mornings? Cartoons, cereal, and zero responsibilities? Yeah… now we’ve got bills, bad backs, and existential dread — so let’s relive the ONLY good part. We revisit the chaotic fever dreams that passed as “kids’ shows” in the 80s & 90s. We’re talking plot holes, unhinged animation, cursed character design, and theme songs that still slap harder than life does. Grab a drink. Or three. It’s Saturday morning for grown-ups now.

It’s spooky season, and the only thing scarier than the movies… are our opinions about them. From the “that’s not scary” crowd to the “I can’t sleep for a week” survivors, we’re diving into the best, worst, and weirdest scary movies ever made. Expect heated debates about candy, and at least one irrational fear of dolls, have you seen the Puppetmaster?

We’ve all had those moments you wish you could delete from existence — the accidental voicemail, the public indecency, the “oh no, they know me” moment. In this episode, we’re airing out our most cringe-worthy stories, from social disasters to childhood nightmares that still haunt us. Expect secondhand embarrassment, uncontrollable laughter, and the comforting reminder that at least you’re not alone.

New name, same chaos. We’re officially rebranding the pod to Hot Takes & Headaches—because honestly, that’s what we do best. In this episode, we spill on why the change had to happen, what it really means, and how we’ll keep serving up the same unfiltered takes that either make you laugh, roll your eyes, or question why you’re still listening (spoiler: because it’s fun). Think of it as a fresh coat of paint… with the same messy energy underneath.

This week, we’re crashing a full-on white trash birthday bash — complete with mobile tattoo artists, questionable snack tables, and other very questionable age realated things.  From backyard chaos to permanent ink decisions you definitely regret the next morning, we’ve got stories you don’t want to miss.And since it’s also the kickoff of the NFL season, we’re breaking down bad fantasy picks, bold predictions, and why every fan thinks this year is “their year.” 🏈🍻It’s birthday candles, bad choices, and football fever — all rolled into one episode.

Travel isn’t always glamorous — it’s lost luggage, questionable roadside bathrooms, and figuring out if you really needed that extra pair of shoes.

Buckle up… or don’t, this isn’t the plane.

Welcome to Day-After Triggers, the half-hour (or hour?) deep-dive where we collide the relentless chaos of the deeply personal — and often lingering — triggers of high school that still echo into adulthood. Think bumper-car insanity meets memory lane: from smashed cars and adrenaline rushes to old wounds, awkward prom memories, and that one teacher who still haunts your thoughts.

PJ is back..... All him and Russ wanted to do was recreate the Cold Play couple. Kinda weird but we get it. We all catch up talking about concerts, Bloosom, and what is the perfect age to kick the bucket. Put the car in drive, turn the radio knob up, get ready to giggle. 

🎙 We’re Back… and the Cruise Was MidDid we disappear? Yes. Are we back? Also yes. After an a little hiatus and a cruise that definitely didn’t live up to the brochure, we’ve returned to bring you more chaos, hot takes, and stories no one asked for.

The original crew is back in the booth—and we’re cutting up like old times.

“In this episode, we sink our teeth into the wild world of method acting—literally.
