So. For this episode, we ripped up the topics for today, and talked about the "sugar". It is not what you think, but it is. The struggle can be real. And for some people it is, and others, it is not. Also, make sure your friends circle is close.

It was a birthday that we will never forget!

Episode 249 - Learning to cook... 01.11.2024

Episode 245 - Ruben can NEVER win an argument 05.10.2024

On this episode, we continue the 0 for forever streak of Ruben winning an argument. I can never win. Frustrating. As entertaining as it was, I continue to take Ls. Oh well, down to the nitty gritty. We talk about why women never fear the loss or losing in marriage or relationships. Teflon, man. Teflon.

Episode 244 - 1st Annual FMW Awards 05.10.2024

Episode 240 - Being late is not a positive move... 01.09.2024

So, I started the show late today, but we still got it in! This episode was about politics, our version. The DNC happened, so we talked about it. We talk about all of the other stuff that no one wants to talk about. Simple as that. You should listen.

Episode 235 - People as a whole, love chaos... 27.07.2024

On Five Minute Warning, we deal in the current (mostly). We give our first reactions to Joe Biden dropping out of the Presidential rate. After we dealt with that, we talk about more important questions such as: Why do women say that they want to be 'led' by a man and how "aggressive is too aggressive" when a man makes his intentions known to a woman? Craziness all over the place...

Episode 234 - The crazy week that was... 18.07.2024
