Welcome back the Iceman! He gives a brief recap on his birthday festivities (or lack thereof). The BS crew dives deep into WWDC ‘23, pondering what the Vision Pro is, and what it might be capable of going forward. The rest of the show is pretty much focused on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and how much further down the nerdy rabbit hole we can afford to travel. The boys also spend time tasti...

It's a tradition unlike any other: it’s another NOICE episode. However, this one happens for a good reason b/c it’s the Iceman’s birthday! In his absence, AJ and JJ cover the ongoing Vanderpump drama before recounting AJ’s brief stint in Vegas. After a rousing tale about arm stamps and other exploits, JJ gives his takes on the ‘Air’ movie and the surprisingly impactful American Gladiator doc t...

We’re in the thick of AAPI month, so it’s only natural we sample the Asianest fruit that ever Asianed: the durian. The guys are joined by their buddy, Dr. Beats, and it’s a goofy ride to say the least. AJ dissects the the spiky specimen, and the experience quickly engulfs the studio. Fair to say responses to the delicacy run the gamut. After some palate cleansing, the guys stay in the Asian food r...

This was supposed to be a very well rounded episode. It should've featured more options for gluten free alcoholic drinks and kid safe activities. There should've been been thoughtful discussion on cinema and the films that carried the industry in the post-COVID era. Hell, there were hints at a debate on the pros and cons of urban development in Northern Virginia's most iconic suburban...

Its another bite size episode by BS standards and the fellas discuss retro consoles they owned, remakes of video game classics, and new releases that blow the doors on everything before it. It was entertainment heavy with the prospect of the movie Air making it to streaming platforms and how the writer's strike would affect beloved sketch comedy shows. So grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy the sh...

It's a wild Cinco De Mayo edition of the show this week, complete with heavy doses of tequila and mayo based sauces.

JJ shares his insights on dog fostering, and the boys place their bets on a possible 'foster fail' situation i...

The crew discusses the latest Flash trailer, and suffice it to say...

This week, JJ comes in hot (and tardy), and the show is a trainwreck from there. AJ scours the earth for gluten free alcoholic drinks, and the rest is history. The Iceman and AJ give their reviews of the Air movie and surprisingly, it's not a slam dunk. Finally, the boys talk about the state of DC sports and how much it sucks. Grab a dry hard cider and have a listen.

After a brief sugar rush, the guys finally recap season 1 of The Last of Us and take a peak at the drama unfolding on the set of Yellowstone. We hope you enjoy this episode as much...

JJ makes it back from the northeast by the skin of his teeth and sadly, he is sans Beertender. After a brief recap of JJ's trip down Providence, AJ details his jam-packed Wrestlemania 39 weekend. Honestly, the bulk of the show is dedicated to wrassling so pull up your tights, snap into a Slim Jim, and enjoy the show.

The Iceman enjoys a popular springtime tourist event in the DMV and shares his do’s and don’t’s for survival.

The boys recap a disastrous opening round of gambling on the 2023 NCAA tournament and ponder more constructive ways to spend their free time together. The topi...

Could this be the first NOICE episode of 2023? It certainly seems that way.

Along the way, the boys pay tribute to their beloved Billy, celebrating what would’ve been his 41st birthday by s...

Another year and another Jam Day in the books and the boys toast to JJ's latest orbit around the sun. AJ gets to talk a bit about wrestling, which Paul brother will be at WrestleMania and his several run-ins with one Dave Bautista. The Iceman shows his mental model on how he makes bets and it verifies why you always bet against Ice. It wouldn't be a BS episode without talk about the latest news an...

It's an up and down affair this week, as the guys recap an eventful night on the town with their friends, Dr. Beats and Esco. Things get weird as the boys dissect a possible catfishing situation that ironically involves a dog. But before things get too out of hand, the guys get their hands on the newest side dish from Domino's Pizza and order is restored. There might also be a segment or two devot...

The stars aligned and somehow the principal hosts  watched Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania on opening weekend. Did it deliver on its promise to launch Marvel's next big phase? The boys aim to find out. Elsewhere, the Iceman gives his take on this year's NBA All Star Weekend festivities, only to realize he's the only one who still cares. Finally, AJ provides a recap of the XFL's DC relaunch a...

The boys are back to dissect what went wrong with their BSBGGB (Bad Slant Big Game Group Bet). Once the guys are done playing the blame game, they take solace in the fact that DC might have a hit on their hands after seeing the new trailer for The Flash movie.

Ice bamboozles AJ and JJ into making a bad bet for the Big G...

After a very long hiatus, the boys return and dedicate the bulk of the show to remember their beloved Sopha "Billy" Sar and the impact he had on their lives and the lives of countless others. After a proper send off, the boys recap a tumultuous first month of 2023, filled with highs, lows, and lots of bad TV. Tough as it is, it's great to be back. LONG LIVE BILLY. 

This year's holiday show started off well and quickly spiraled out of control. We welcomed new friends to our annual gift exchange and did not talk about much else. There were highs and certainly a lot of lows. Happy Holidays!

It’s a tradition unlike any other: It’s another Iceless holiday episode. As per usual, the boys are equal to the task. The BS brothers dance around the news of the Chief Twit stepping down as Twitter’s CEO and how that may inevitably play out. Elsewhere, AJ & JJ begrudgingly pivot to the topic of the upcoming holiday show and the inevitable anxiety and chaos that will come. The guys close the...

After all the yoga excitement last week, the guys decide to take it easy and stay firmly in their comfort zones. The Iceman shares his experience w/ more cutting edge tech.

Later, the guys do some hard hitting analysis on movie trailers and why they might actually do more harm than good. There’s al...

The boys delve back into the Ice C.U., talking all things (dings?) Iceman. At the top of that list is Tesla's new and improved Auto Pilot system but strangely enough, the early reviews indicate the features might need some polishing. Elsewhere, the Chairman shares his experiences with Rocket Yoga whilst waxing poetic about a future visit to see his beloved Washington Football Team LIVE and in all...

The boys vent about personal tech issues and ponder the best password storage options on the market. (Trust, it’s wilder than it sounds on the surface.) The Iceman brings the latest wares from Goose Island’s 2022 Bourbon County release, and the show quickly goes off the rails. They somehow transition to talk Thanksgiving festivities, Black Friday experiences, and disappearing holiday invites. Befo...

It's a super size Thanksgiving episode where the boys recount their SNKRS wins and ponder what to do with scores. The bulk of the show is dedicated to dissecting the sequel to Black Panther, Wakanda Forever, and how the MCU will never be the same. The boys sprinkle in some whiskey and snack tastings, and a good time was had. Plug into your car's Android or Apple Carplay and have a listen en route...
