Gettin' Sidetracked

Send us Fan Mail Come with me and you'll be in a world where grown men spend almost an hour talking about candy. You heard right! David wants to talk about his and everyone else's sweet tooth. From Snickers and Butterfingers to Twizzlers and Sweet Tarts, the guys will probably talk about one of your favorites at length. Find out what candy Davids family loves but he hates, Discover where...

Send us Fan Mail Cause it's 1....2....3 strikes you're out at the movie theater. Wait. That's not how it goes. Right? Either way, we all know Dusty is the movie guy but he likes sports too. This week, he managed to find a way to talk about both. There have been countless movies made about sports but baseball in particular has found its way into cinemas countless times. Join the guys...

Send us Fan Mail You might not be familiar with the term but trust me. You are definitely aware of this sub genre of rock. The term was originally coined from a radio station. As in, "We don't play anything BUT rock". This style of music includes some favorites such as Breaking Benjamin, Creed, Poison, 3 Days Grace and many, many more. What do all of these bands have in common? You&...

Send us Fan Mail It's been pretty cold around here lately and it got David doing some thinking. Could he survive out in the wilderness during the cold? Hell no! Then he got to thinking about some other people that couldn't make it either. Namely a pretty big chunk of The Donner Party. We're getting just a little dark with this one. Join the guys as they discuss some of the terrible...

Send us Fan Mail A cordyceps strain mutates and starts jumping to humans, taking over their bodies and turning them into savage creatures intent on spreading the infection at all costs. That already seems like a cool idea for a video game but then you go and add characters and a story inside this world that absolutely blows you away from start to finish. That my friends, is the recipe for an amazi...

Send us Fan Mail Not to brag or anything but the guys totally solved an almost 70 year murder that took place in Finland. Seriously though, we're as clueless as anyone when it comes to this strange case that took place alongside a Finnish lake. Join the guys for a little exploration and a lot of joking. Remember, we don't take things seriously. Like, ever. So join us for a brand new epis...

Send us Fan Mail When a cup of coffee isn't strong enough but it's too early in the day for meth, go for the next best thing. Energy drinks! David is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to the different varieties and he brought his knowledge to the show. From Red Bull (which doesn't actually make you fly) to Monster (turns out you CAN get a hangover from these things) to Rockstar a...

Send us Fan Mail From the earliest sci-fi films to modern day blockbusters, movies have a tendancy to try to predict what the future holds. This is especially true for technology. On this week's episode, Dusty wants to talk about some of the tech that the movies just so happened to get right. From tablets to Dick Tracy watches, the guys will cover quite a few marvels that a lot of us take adv...

Send us Fan Mail We've all heard a story or two in our time. Someone sets their cruise control in a Winnebago and goes to take a nap, sues the manufacturer when they end up crashing and getting a few million out of it. Or a burglar breaks into someone's house and cuts their hand in the process, sues the homeowner and walks away rich. While those stories aren't necessarily true, the...

Send us Fan Mail In sports, streaks can mean one of two things. Either you are really good at something......or REALLY bad. On this week's episode, we're gonna try to stay focused on the positive for the most part. Unless you are a KU fan and in that case, sorry not sorry. David wants to talk about some memorable streaks in sports including K State's current win streak against in-st...

Send us Fan Mail It's Halloween! Our first episode to actually come out on the holiday and Dusty is taking full advantage. For starters, we wanna know what some of your favorite costumes were in the comments below. We begin the episode just about the general festivities of what is arguably the best holiday of the year but then we dive into the real meat of the episode. Stephen King is a name...

Send us Fan Mail I know what you're thinking. With a title like that, half of it is probably just butt jokes. That couldn't be further from the truth. It's actually more like 3/4. David stumbled across an urban myth and decided to educate the guys on the story of Mel's Hole. Calling into "Coast To Coast AM" in 1997, Mel shared his story with listeners across the natio...

Send us Fan Mail It's that time of year again! The air is getting cooler. The days are getting shorter. Halloween is right around the corner. Dusty wants to talk about it. Not the holiday itself. Today, we're talking about Michael Myers and the iconic Halloween horror franchise. While the series has experienced many highs, it has certainly had its fair share of lows as well. On this epis...

Send us Fan Mail It's episode 100! First and foremost, thank you all for the support. Everyone involved really appreciates it more than you know. Now that we got that sentimental crap out of the way, what do you guys wanna talk about this week? David just can't get the number 100 out of his head so we decided he wants to talk about what was going on 100 years ago. Back in 1925 there were...

Send us Fan Mail An unavoidable fact of modern life is that we all have to work. What you decide to do for work on the other hand, is completely up to you. That's where the fun/anxiety begins.  Between the three of them, the guys have quite a bit of experience in quite a few different areas of the workforce and Dusty wants to talk about it. From David's old habit of pulling a "no ca...

Send us Fan Mail Yeah, you read that right. We're talking about a very strange day on this week's episode. Dan came across something he wanted to share with everyone and boy is it a doozy. Back in the late 1800's in rural Kentucky, meat started falling from the sky. There are some pretty interesting theories about what actually happened but the guys have some of their own. Spoiler a...

Send us Fan Mail With the college football season about to get underway and the KSU Wildcats starting the season off overseas, David thought it would be a great chance to talk a little about the country where the game is taking place. Ireland! With only one brief mention of the Blarney Stone, we think you guys will actually like this one. From the world's oldest pub to the origins of Hallowee...

Send us Fan Mail It's our last real summer episode and Dusty wanted to end the season by talking about a true American pastime. Going broke at an amusement park. Kansas City's own Worlds Of Fun, Dollywood, Silver Dollar City, Universal Studios and Disney are all on the topic of discussion this week. From Dusty being extremely lucky when it comes to Disneyworld to Dan eating his way throu...

Send us Fan Mail Oh boy. Here we go. It's time to get serious around here people. Dan just opened the guys eyes to some serious evidence that proves without a shadow of a doubt. Now everyone is about to hear the truth whether you can handle it or not. Are you ready? The Earth......is round Dummy. Everybody knows that. Well, maybe not EVERYBODY. Dan wants to talk about those lovable goofs that...

Send us Fan Mail Spinoffs have been around almost as long as tv itself. David has a list that includes some of the most successful ones.....and some of the not so successful ones. "Joey" is on one of the lists. We'll let you figure out which one. From "After M.A.S.H." and "Top of the Heap" to "Frasier" and "The Jeffersons", we'll go throu...

Send us Fan Mail Just when you thought it was safe to download another podcast! JAWS celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and Dusty wants to talk about it. A best selling novel that turned into the first ever summer blockbuster and shattered box office records in its path. The only problem was just that making it was an absolute nightmare. So much so that it actually gave a young Steven Spiel...

Send us Fan Mail All hail the Prince of Darkness! No, not that Devil guy. I'm talking about the Godfather of Heavy Metal, Ozzy Osbourne! More specifically, Dan wants to talk about The Madman himself. We witnessed the last performance of the musical icon last week and Dan wants to talk about The Blizzard of Oz. From his early time in England as a young theater geek that was made fun of to his...

Send us Fan Mail The combatants are ready and the showdown is about to begin. David has soda on his mind this week. In particular, the two titans of the cola world. The longtime associate of Santa Claus, Coca-Cola and the choice of a new generation, Pepsi. From the Pepsi challenge to New Coke and even lighting Michael Jackson on fire, the two brands duked it out starting in the 70's. Obviousl...

Send us Fan Mail Get to the choppa! And load up this weeks brand new episode. It's a pretty big year for the Predator franchise. With a brand new animated movie getting rave reviews and a new live action movie on the horizon, Dusty decided it would be a good idea to talk about the franchise as a whole with the guys. With a total of 5 live action movies and an animated movie in the can, there...

Send us Fan Mail Behind the white picket fences of this midwest town lies a darkness that lurks behind every corner. Nah, not really. At least, not for this show. Some Manhattan Kansas true crime is on Dan's mind this week so he wants to talk about a few particular cases and enlighten the guys on some history. Mostly 80's. A little 90's. One grocer that was born in the early 1900&ap...
