The Thanksgiving holiday has the boys feeling wiped out (some more than others). Nonetheless, they are still riding high after their surprise, pre-Turkey Day, super terrific, concert show at the Anthem in DC. Yoggin’ Yack speaks glowingly about the venue and the bands (less so about some of the ‘fans' in attendance). Meanwhile, AJ puts the cherry on top of his 2025 concert season. Yack deliver...

The boys are firmly in a post-race hangover, and they got nothin' but time. Before all the turkey day revelry, AJ and Yack lock in for their first rock concert together. Of course, Yoggin' Yack wouldn't be who he is if he wasn't already looking ahead to the spring running season. Meanwhile, AJ and the Iceman are gleefully embracing the offseason and Youtube Golf by watching (and re...

The Iceman escapes New York (albeit just barely) and rejoins the show. Unfortunately for him, he’s greeted with a familiar taste straight from the Midwest. But we’re pretty sure that didn’t compare to the sweet taste of victory, as he and Yoggin’ Yack recount a successful run through the streets of Richmond. It has everything you’ve come to know and love about Virginia’s capital city: hipsters, co...

After hemming and hawing all week, AJ ACTUALLY followed through on his powerlifting threats... and he's got the hardware to prove it. (Whether anyone was there to celebrate it with him is a different story) Yogging Yack is peaking at the right time going into his half marathon in Richmond this weekend. (Whether he sees family, friends, or co-hosts at the finish line is a different story.) Of c...

With race day just around the corner, the Iceman and Yoggin Yack compare prep strategies—and degrees of regret. Not to be outdone, AJ considers entering his first powerlifting competition. The guys discuss their families bailing on race day, AJ sneaking past the guards at another emo concert, and a dubious choice of a golf course. A few surprise topics close it out, tune in eff around and find out...

The Richmond 8k is almost upon us, and the Iceman is not quite ready (to put it mildly). Our resident yogger tries to lend a helping hand but he’s been a bit busy lately trying to SAVE THE ENTIRE INTERNET. Meanwhile, Iceman and AJ can’t stop thinking about Amazon’s basic balls. The Commies are so bad at football right now, AJ contemplates a drastic career change. The NBA is back on NBC but the boy...

The Iceman has himself a day... a LONG day. Yack explains the Poop Rule. And AJ tumbles down the Youtube Golf rabbit hole.

Yack is back from hiatus #12. AJ crushes German lessons in Duolingo but can’t crush a full sentence to save his life. Meanwhile, the Commanders’ collapse on Monday leads to cartoon sized shots of Mälort on Wednesday. AJ searches for a reasonably priced ticket to the John Cena Farewell Tour and sadly… he can’t see it. Iceman randomly goes all in on NYC Comic-Con 2025. And the boys pay respects to D...

Happy Prime Day #3 to all those who celebrate. AJ and the Iceman review The Naked Gun... well, the first 20 minutes of it at least. AJ inches closer and closer to the seat of power in his community. Meanwhile, the boys impulsively plan an outing, and there's already a party pooper (but it's probably not who you'd expect). The Iceman admires Taylor Swift's "Wood" before re...

AJ’s returns from the Pacific Northwest to kick off the show’s 8th season. He recaps the good (food and activities), the bad (golf played), and the ugly (tears cried after an amazing Linkin Park concert). This eventually leads to some debate about whether traditional Asian cuisine can/should be presented as fine dining (no small feat, considering the Iceman was involved). The guys also ponder if t...

One minute, the boys are lamenting the state of movies, the next, they’re hard launching America’s newest movie critic: Dr. Beats. The guys know he has the credentials but his official rating scale? Might need some work. Meanwhile, AJ tries once more to get the Iceman into a pair of his own sneakers... while unironically sporting the lamest shoes in history.

AJ returns from his latest work trip with a snack that's equal parts strange and controversial, so of course, the boys have thoughts. Not stopping there, AJ also ropes the crew into trying the new Popeyes x Hot Ones collab. It's classic BS at its finest: eating, talking about eating, and wondering why they ate it in the first place.

Fall is here, which means two things: the Iceman's first seasonal sick day and a throwback remote show. After battling the usual tech hiccups (and AJ's absence), the boys recap the Commanders' annual first home game tailgate, what went right, what went sideways, and who may have lost the battle to too many drinks. They close things out with takes on Apple's "Awe Dropping"...

The boys return from an unplanned August hiatus, and to say the time away was eventful would be an understatement. The A in AJ now stands for ‘aerodynamic’, and the Iceman makes a case to be rechristened “The Travelin’ Man”. The former discusses his new do, while the latter gives a full rundown of his trip into the Epic Universe, the Kentucky Bourbon trail, and all points in between. All the while...

Another run of the "Beautiful Game", and it appears Ace-J is wavering in his love of golf. Can the Iceman and Yogging Yack talk him down from the ledge? Aside from the golf talk, the Iceman and Ace-J detail their upcoming travel plans, while Ace-J has a tough decision to make before splitting for the coast. Have a listen while you are out on the range.

Believe it or not, most of this ep is centers on the McDonald’s Spicy Snack Wrap. Ace-J brings in McD’s latest ‘innovation’ for an impromptu taste test, and the conversation quickly becomes an indictment on aging and the rapidly changing tastes in America. Of course, none of that compares to the spiciness on display this past weekend at Summerslam but depending on who you ask, it gets pretty darn...

Ace-J and the Iceman hit the links to celebrate the former’s birthday… and they got the (golf) balls to prove it! Yack is back, and he’s running on fumes… literally. By some miracle, all of the principals made it out to the cinema to catch the latest attempt at a Superman movie, and they provide a WIDE range of opinions. Iceman recaps a trip to the Big Apple that’s MUCH different than what he or M...

Ace-J is back and he’s got raps… correction: snack wraps. The boys try Popeyes’ new-ish chicken wraps to get a gauge on the impending wrap war. The results might surprise you but Iceman’s response to ‘heat’ certainly will not. When things cool down, Iceman shares his plans for a late summer flurry of activity that’ll surely up his frequent flyer mileage. The guys make plans for a FANTASTIC date. T...

With Ace J out, the running duo recaps their 4th of July antics and the Iceman's latest health reset—sparked by too many parties and a surprise Orange Theory class. Yoggin Yack calls out the Iceman's terrible summer shoe take, before the two lock in their next 10K. The Iceman previews a golf tourney at his old stomping grounds and somehow turns a search for a cheaper phone plan into a busi...

AJ and Yack battle technology to put the boots (sneakers?) to their good friend, the Iceman. The poker world is on fire again, and the boys are here for it. AJ does his best Harry Hogge impression as the guys gush at the prospect of an F1/Days of Thunder crossover. They close things out with even more movie babble, as they ponder a possible Crimson Tide sequel, even more obscure Street Fighter cas...

The boys try to seize on AJ’s hole-in-one hysteria by making a golf date… only to see it cancelled by Mother Nature. Of course, that doesn’t stop AJ from testing out some future on-course cocktails. Meanwhile, the Iceman lays out his plan to become the Girl-Dad version of Earl Woods. But lest we forget, the Iceman isn’t all golf, all the time… he’s also a noted Squid Game geek, and he’s gearing up...

The Batcave series rolls on as the Iceman and Yoggin Yack break down their latest running adventure: the PUSO 10K. From questionable wardrobe choices to what's next on the calendar—it's all on the table. Meanwhile, AJ returns from vacation with a golf story so epic it might just earn him a green jacket (or at least a towel). Yoggin hits the theaters for the live-action How to Train Your Dr...

Iceman recaps a not-so-leisurely vacay, complete with sugary drinks, mediocre resort food, and little-to-no prep for his upcoming 10k. (FWIW he’s still committed to run, which is more than we can say for SOME friends of the show). Meanwhile, AJ takes a spontaneous trip of his own… down memory lane that is, as he attends the relaunch of the Vans Warped Tour in DC. (Spoiler alert: at this age, it’s...

The Iceathon rolls on as the Iceman falls deep into the Labubu rabbit hole: yes, it's a thing, and yes, he's obsessed. After the latest shock drop, he comes up for air just long enough to give his take on Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and what might be next for the franchise. The boys debate a Sinners sequel without Ryan Coogler (gasp!), then pivot to the real question: is the...

Happy Birthday to the Iceman! He recaps his big weekend in Philly, which included his first Indian wedding and a cheesesteak that somehow wasn't in Philly, and it showed. He also pitches the fellas on joining the Masters raffle… but there's a twist, and potential sacrifice. The gang then talks about the chaos surrounding the new Nintendo Switch drop and the midnight release tactic to outsm...
