Apparently, pickle juice is packed with electrolytes and may help runners manage muscle cramps, so forget ene...

Lou reveals what he believes is the most objectionable food of all time, and Ethan shares a story about what could be next for Down the Hatch. The “most popular toy of the year” might be Butt Face. It’s a squishy doll-type toy named Chester Cheeks, and apparently tweens are absolutely loving it because, well, it looks like a butt and makes fart noises. Apparently, this is where we are as a society...

And apparently, when the ice hits the bottom, it makes some pretty awesome laser-like sounds. Meanwhile, TikTok is mourning the supposed...

Ethan makes a brief appearance for one segment, but it is basically just long enough for him to complain about the guy in front of him at Mobil who was taking forever buying lottery tickets.

The boys break down what th...

A guy has gone viral on Instagram after posting a video of himself being interviewed for a janitor position by a female AI hiring agent.
