NOW YOU MADE IT AWKWARD

🎃 What's the scariest movie you've ever watched? And is it actually a great horror movie, or did it just traumatize you when you were younger? This week, Shoky and Other Kevin dive into their Top 5 Horror Movies, debating everything from Hereditary, Sinners, The Blair Witch Project, and The Ring to classics like Halloween, Jaws, Alien, and The Exorcist. Which movies genuinely scared us? Which one...

This week on **Now You Made It Awkward**, we're joined by author R.D. Omberg to talk about her debut novel, *The Last DJ*! From wild stories behind the microphone to the disappearing world of traditional radio, Rhonda shares her journey from DJ to published author. But why is Shoky propositioning Rhonda to get in a closet and tell him a story? 😂 How does a literary agent get defeated by an email...

This week Other Kevin comes to visit! We follow up a little on the Flat Earth discussion from last week due to K2's insistence that the Moon is made of cheese. If a planetary system orbits a Black hole instead of a star, what would you call it? Shoky briefly discusses HBO's Lanterns as the finale approaches. Has the show gotten too much hate online? Also he finally took the time to watch the Quent...

We have a dense episode this week. If you were a young boy in the 90s, what was your favorite fighting game? And why was it Mortal Kombat? Do you remember what combos you would spam to anger your friends? Coincidentally Shaun asks us if we ever acted out play fights with our friends after watching martial arts movies.  Tyler asks us how and why Flat Earthers are seeing a massive resurgence in the...

We are back this week with sad news. Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, has passed away. The voice of most of our childhood, though we likely didn’t even realize it.  On top of that Tim Curry also died. Though Shoky struggles to remember his name. So many movie roles. So many iconic characters.  Because its been a few weeks, we have a multitude of questions from Shaun and Tyler. And a long...

Love bugs are everywhere, the swarms are insane, and somehow the old rumor that they were genetically engineered from mosquitoes is making the rounds again. So naturally, we had to dig into it. Shoky also puts Tim’s welding skills to work on a brand-new custom shifter, because if you have a friend who can weld, you might as well make him useful. Shaun sends in a question about the smelly kids ever...

We are back after some time off after the Episode 200 Live Shows! And we are back to full cast as well!  We catch up with Chad and Jefe, what they've been up to the last few weeks. Disney held their D23 convention and as usual had big reveals. Such as three-quels for Frozen, Zootopia, and The Incredibles. They also revealed more of the upcoming new cast for the X-men in the MCU.  Speaking of comic...

We have reached the conclusion of Episode 200! The final 100 questions, with a slightly different panel including Charlie, Grace and Ed joining in!  Recorded on July 11, 2026 at Mad Llama Brewing in Spring Texas.  We laughed, we cried, we lost a Jefe halfway through, but we kept it F'ing Awkward! The second half of the questionnaire is as follows: Would You Rather? - Between 2 not great options, w...

Welcome to the beginning of the massive Episode 200 Super Awkward Questionnaire! And our first ever live show held at Frankenboltzzzz Brewing in Dobbin Texas. I am joined by many of my friends on panel including special guest: comedian Jon Coleman!  The first half of the Questionnaire is as follows: EITHER/OR - pick between these 2 options. One Goes Away Forever - of these things one has got to go...

This week Tim has returned! Which means we are going off the rails again! We discuss the passing and funeral for the father of friend of the show Rodney. Merely a week after Shoky's dad's funeral. Then we get into the deep discussion of social value. While everyone is created equal in the eyes of the Lord, and the law, are they all equal to society?  If you stay at home complaining on the internet...

We are back this week, creeping ever so closer to the huge Episode 200 Live Show dropping for you people in the audience!  Other Kevin visits me this time. We talk about our experience recording Episode 200. The laughs, the chaos, the medical emergency. There is a reason why Jefe hasn't been on the show lately.  And with my dad's funeral being the day before we recorded, death was on my mind. So w...

This week we are joined by local activist James Fletes. His primary cause is investigating the FLOCK cameras that have been popping up in cities nationwide. We discuss the purpose of the cameras, what they have been used for, incidents where they've been used to wrongly accuse people, and what you can do to see them removed from your community.

This week! We are back talking about burning the boats, but with a new voice. We discuss bad promotional design. A friend of the show created an image for a party without taking into consideration what meaning the image may convey to the world.  Shoky updates us on how things are going since his dad passed away. Dealing with living parents can sometimes be harder than dealing with the dead ones. ...

We are back once again Awkward Ones. This week Shoky had to repair his car while repairing his car. Apparently more was wrong than he knew.  HBO's  "House of the Dragon" is back with a heck of start to the season. Introducing a new dragon called Sheepstealer that is....special. Amazon has 2 big hit seasons that also just wrapped up with Clarkson's Farm season 5 and The Legend of Vox Machina Season...

It's a rush job this week! We had a week off and then almost missed this week. There's a lot going on in the Shoky household. The air conditioning broke leaving our home stagnating around 83 degrees for days. Only just being fixed hours before our recording time.  Welcome back Chad! It's been a long time since we've heard from our Vinyl Daddy! He was gone for essentially a month! He even missed Ep...

This week we have a visitor! And Tim from Fortifed Iron Worx. Part of our church family. There is a new Masters of the Universe movie out. We went to see it! Does this 80s reboot connect with kids today or is it just a bunch of 80s kids reliving their childhood? We give our review. Full spoilers on the Patreon.  Also we have the outcome of the Carmelo Anthony murder trial. This was a highly charge...

This is it! Your last chance to join us for Episode 200 LIVE part 1! It's going down tomorrow night!  My normal cohosts are still gone, but Rodney came to visit! We discuss a couple of heavy topics. Like: do you want your flush handle on the same side as your toilet paper? Oh and a Standford Medicine study was released back in December covering a certain cause for Myocarditis. You should probably...

With my usual cohost out this week we have a visitor: OTHER KEVIN! We go over the negative reviews of "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and whether or not it's deserved. Should Star Wars just give up on movies? Should this have just been a final season of the show instead of a movie?  The Boys has concluded its 5 season run. This final season has been a rollercoaster for the fans. Both boring or rushed....

This week we find out the government held a summit with religious leaders to prep them about the truth of aliens being real. In unrelated news: Alton Brown says he won't eat octopus ever again because they are clearly intelligent beings. Jefe is dealing with a broken Steve messing up his sleep and eating schedule. And with schedules on the mind, Shoky asks what your bathroom schedule is? How often...

This week we discuss the rise in hantavirus cases after a South American cruise goes wrong. Sparking pandemic fears again. Daredevil: Born Again just wrapped up and Shoky gives his review of the series. Tyler asks what TV series could you remove the finale, or even final seasons and be happier? And with the success of the IT movie revival, and subsequent series; what Stephen King movies would you...

We are here and we are celebrating Cinco de Mayo AND Revenge of the Fifth at the same time! It's been a while since we did Star Wars trivia while drinking our Donkey Show cocktail.  Other Kevin visits us this week for whatever this show turned out to be.  EPISODE 200 LIVE SHOW LINK: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/now-you-made-it-awkward-episode-200-live-tickets-1988197487205?aff=oddtdtcreator Offica...

Ed is back! Our favorite Venezuelan energy enthusiast is in the cave for the first time. We wanted him to come back and actually get to talk about his passions.  We do discuss alternate energy production, why the world is scared of nuclear, and more! Oh and Ed joins the offenders with one of the more interesting offsets we've come up with. Tyler asks us what our favorite occurrence of censorship i...
