TBH... it's a bit of a rough start to the show this week, as the guys discuss the untimely passing of the late, great Virgil Abloh. The news put a bit of a damper on the Thanksgiving holiday but what's a holiday without a little physical and emotional trauma? The boys pivot from mortal illness to ill-timed athletics in record time, as they recap an eventful Turkey Bowl that'll be hard to walk off...

In honor of Thanksgiving, the guys get a head start on a few time honored holiday traditions. As with most holiday shindigs, the festivities commence with a few seasonally appropriate (read: sugary) beverages to loosen things up, followed by some polite small talk about the topics of the day. (FWIW if you like semi-relevant pop stars from the mid-late 2000s, you're gonna be very happy.) Of course,...

Tighter and brighter for your holiday listening pleasure! The boys gather this week for a jam-packed, pre-Thanksgiving episode, complete with all the trimmings. There's a bit of controversy surrounding the SneakerSleuth's latest conquest. Even after that fire dies down, the heat turns right back up when the guys give their live, unvarnished reactions to the latest (and possibly least necessary) tr...

AJ provides an in-depth analysis of the latest MCU film, “Eternals”, and it’s decidedly...mid. Meanwhile, the Iceman feels Kumail Nanjiani was robbed of People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive title for 2021, ironically enough, by his fellow MCU cast mate. Fret not, Ice fully explains to anyone that’ll listen precisely why that’s true. Finally, the boys delve DEEP into the events that took place at As...

This week, JJ and the Iceman recap their respective Halloween festivities, and AJ learns what it’s like to celebrate All Hallow's Eve with children. Elsewhere, after a long hiatus from the fried chicken game, AJ and the Iceman take a moment to appreciate Burger King’s latest attempt at deep fried relevancy, as they review the chain’s new ghost pepper nuggets. The boys somehow pivot away from glutt...

The boys welcome Uncle Phil back to the show, primarily with a ton of craft beers and shots of Malort. If that weren't enough, Ice's mid-week Halloween plans threatened to derail the show entirely but somehow, the rest of the crew was able to piece things together. Once things got going, AJ provided a confounding review of Dune which you can't miss. The boys did yeoman's work to explain their Hall...

Another month, another Apple event... what might be underwhelming to most somehow still piques the Iceman's interest. Once the dork dust settles, AJ regales one and all with tales from a day in the life of a wedding coordinator. Finally, the boys discuss how poorly the WFT botched just about everything last week (both on and off the field). Clear 110 minutes from your schedule, grab an Airpod or t...

The boys called their shot and it came to be, it's ANOTHER SUPER SIZED EPISODE. The guys spoke at length about AJ's (possible) new calling as a wedding planner, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's fledgling rap aspirations, and the fast descending rep of the SNKRS app. In the midst of all this, a discussion about rebooted movie franchises broke out, and it went all down hill from there.

Ice is bizzack and pulls no punches when it comes to topic of AJ and JJ's beloved Jollibee. Beyond that unpleasantness, the boys asked what they were each doing when the pillars of the Internet came crashing down earlier in the week. Before long, the boys moved to dissect how far away they were from the top rage streamers on Twitch, and they quickly reevaluated the purpose of the entire show. It w...

It was a supersized #NoIce episode and boy did the Moderators (both Old and New) take advantage of the space to talk about anything NOT related to the Apple corp. AJ and JJ steered the conversation to a bevy of topics that included fast food, Manny Pacquiao retiring, Bradley Beal digging in (in more ways than one), and Lisa Vanderpump ruling the hearts and minds of BSers coast to coast. And there'...

It's a silly one this week so try and keep up. Ice's latest vacation plans loom large but the boys make the most of his time this week by dipping back into the Apple waters and dissecting the rollout of iPhone 13 and iOS15 respectively. Not to be outdone, AJ recounts a chaotic week in the life of a pro wrestling legend. (Spoiler alert: it wasn't pretty.) The action eventually moves to the magic bo...

Temps are falling and leaves are turning so you know what that means… it’s iPhone refresh season. (Again.) The boys were distanced this week but that doesn’t stop them from breaking down all of the headlines out of Cupertino. Surprisingly, our resident Apple fanboy was less than enthused with what he heard. And the grumblings didn’t stop there, as the guys looked back on a week 1 in the NFL where:...

It's Shang-Chi week so naturally, the boys took the bulk of this week's show to celebrate the occasion (sans spoilers). The introduction of an Asian superhero into the MCU has sparked a great deal of conversation near and far, and your favorite BS-ers were anxious to join the fray. But despite agreeing on the overall quality of the film, some of the hosts' scores for the movie will leave you scrat...

This week's show has something for everyone. Young and into Kanye's weird ass shtick? We got you covered. Hate making money on sports bets? All over it. Big fan of Seinfeld and underrated burger chains? Ok... maybe proceed with caution.

We kid you not: The bulk of this show was genuinely devoted to Off-White sneakers and the trailer for the new Spiderman movie. And yet, things went COMPLETELY awry as conversation veered off into the idea of whether the 'Butthole Cut' of the movie "Cats" actually existed or if anyone really knew which disgraced NBC news anchor had a daughter that did something freaky on HBO. The answers to both qu...

Ice was away last week so you KNOW his return this week would mean a stacked episode. And stacked it was. After a quick recap of the Chairman's brief reprieve from normal life, the boys got down to brass tacks, specifically, the business of watching the newest (and Asian-est) Marvel superhero make his debut on the big screen. Additionally, there happened to be roughly 9 million Marvel news stories...

On the heels AJ and JJ's pre-planned vacays, the Chairman followed through on his threat of a hastily planned break from the show. Once the shock wore off, the remaining hosts celebrated the latest #NoIce show by waxing poetic on how the still-on-going pandemic affected Marvel's plans for Black Widow, Loki, and Phase 4 of the MCU in general. Of course, you can't talk Marvel with AJ this week witho...

No Phil, no chicken... no problem! Fresh off their respective vacations, AJ and JJ return with tales from the sea. Predictably, some stories are more eventful than others. To wit: there's crabs, island brews, jet skis and seaweed. That aside, there are a few minutes devoted to a rather tumultuous week in DC sports. Strap on a life vest, grab a rum punch, and enjoy the ride.

NO MORE CHICKEN SANDWICHES!!!! Woohoo! The boys can finally carry-on with life and handle serious matters like the selection of JJ’s background and tasting tremendous beers from the great state of Maryland. Once again, we are graced with the presence of Uncle Phil to join us for an hour long stream of consciousness while reminiscing about the golden days of Foursquare Mayorships. Orale Holmes!

After weeks of toil and gluttony, it came down to two chicken sandwich heavyweights, Hot Lola's and Popeyes. But what should've been an epic finale for the ages wound up being a landslide victory, and the disappointment in the room was palpable. Once the fog lifted, there was clearly some logic applied, and if nothing else, the boys could rest easy knowing the winning sandwich was a unanimous choi...

It's been six whole weeks since our last Jack-Off show so JJ decided this week was as good a time as any to deprive us all of his presence. Despite being down a man, Ice and AJ bought enough fried chicken sandwiches to feed a full compliment of hosts. And feed they did. A full hour's worth of feeding in fact. Once the burn from the cayenne and the Sichuan peppercorns wore off, the dynamic duo down...

It's a whole lotta recapping this week, mostly about last week's show (at least the parts of it we could piece together), the 4th of July weekend (at least the parts of it not washed away by bourbon), and the first four episodes of the Loki series (mostly free of spoilers, no thanks to JJ). As a result of AJ's ham-handed production work  the week prior, there's even the return of a beloved bit, th...

It's another week, and another round of half-eaten chicken sandwiches to babble on about. Sadly, no amount of chicken can recover lost audio. Outside of one REALLY good sandwich, this latest round of the neverending tourney was a comedy of errors. In summary: One host forgot to buy sandwiches Another host forgot to record the show The other one forgot how to score things Other than that, it was a...

It's late so we won't mince words: The guys ate and analyzed fried chicken sandwiches for a whole ass hour. Why? Because in a world full of pretenders, only one can be crowned the Bad Slant Baddest Chicken Sandwich. So enjoy round one of this artery clogging endeavor. Oh yeah, there might be a lame Father's Day celebration or two thrown in toward the end. It's not a total bummer but don't say you...

A late audible by the Iceman leaves the co-moderators to carry out another two man show this week. AJ recounts his harrowing tale under the knife, and along the way, he provides a glimpse at the movies and shows that filled his week in post surgery recovery. Of course, one of those programs just happened to be Marvel's latest Disney+ entry, “Loki”, and mods 1 & 2 wasted no time dissecting the proc...
