The Incredibly Influential & Highly Successful Podcast

We start out by finally talking to Danny now that he has his power back, but first Kael rants about how stressed he is since he's literally sweating while recording this episode, and then we eventually get to the power outage. Then we just yap a whole bunch because it's a podcast and that is what you do on a podcast. After that, we have Maxwell on and we talk about the season finale of The Acolyte...

In this episode, Danny gets f*cked over by Hurricane Beryl so we have Maxwell on first in the hopes that Danny will be available later on in the week. We start off talking about said hurricane situation, prompting that this is the second time that thousands of people in Texas were needlessly cut off from power in less than two months. We also then talk about The Acolyte as always, which leads us t...

In this episode, Kael starts out trying to gaslight Maxwell into thinking the 5th of July is Cinco de Mayo, then we talk about The Acolyte briefly before we have a serious discussion on a scene in the most recent episode of The Boys .

In this very stylish episode of IIHS, we have Maxwell on first and we start by discussing our future gaming plans, then segue into The Acolyte 's best episode so far, and then we get really invested in man thongs.

After that, Maxwell comes on and we discuss...

In this episode, we try something new and have Danny on in the first half, where we talk about basically nothing for the first ten minutes and then gradually get it together to talk about Kael taking Danny's possessions when he dies, what kind of books Danny got from Amazon, and how Kael threw up in a bush. Danny also tries to read a page of the Iliad in 5 seconds. Kael also says a brief statement...

In this episode, Danny is back and we spend basically the entire first half on a bit that is hilarious and doesn't go on too long AT ALL.

Kael also gives a bit of a life update and we debate whether drunk driving is safer than drunk walking. Big Red Button: You c...

In this completely unsuccessful episode, Kael has Kateryna from our tabletop show take over for Maxwell/Danny and he also drinks quite a bit.

In this episode, we congratulate Maxwell on finally finishing his bachelor's degree (yay) and then get into the mother of all arguments (roll credits) once more. After the ads, we have a chat about how Kael's scars have come back to haunt him (it's way less cool than it sounds). We also give a shoutout for Mother's Day and give some hints for next week's episode topics. Big Red Button: You become...

In this episode, we start out talking about the shows Maxwell saw this weekend and Kael's lovely visit with his mother, as well as the fact that it is now finally finals week.

Big Red Button: Danny gets to do this for two more years BUT he has to be there twice a week, every w...

In this episode, we take it back to basics to start with a conversation about the Fallout TV show (no spoilers, we promise!) and then Max talks about the panels he went to over the weekend which sparks another patented debate on social issues where Kael actually gets to use his scientific/statistical knowledge (much to his arousal). After the ad break, we continue the debate and use statistics to...

Danny isn't here for this one, so we talk about Invincible some more and we just argue the whole time about the morality of the Angstrom Levy finale.

We then talk about Kael's visit to Houston and Danny getting to see Kael's alcoholism firsthand. Kael also roasts Danny's instagram f...

In this Maxwell-free episode, we catch up with Danny and Kael starts drinking again and we basically talk about nonsense for most of the episode up to the ad break.

After that, Kael points out that there would be no show without him (because he's writing...

Kael starts the episode by ranting about what a genius he is, and what a piece of racist feces Elon Musk is, which is why we will no longer be using Twitter. We then also talk about the epidemic of stupid people in America and then get into an argument about inaccurate first impressions and the cosmetics industry and there is a fair amount of miscommunication before the ad break. After said ad bre...

We start out talking about an etiquette faux pas which then leads to us talking about how amazing Kael thinks he is, which then leads into how Clarence Thomas is obsessed with one type of vehicle (a fate which will befall all men older than 50), which then leads to us talking about environmental policies, which inevitably gets Kael talking about his favorite kind of green energy. After that, we tu...

In this episode, Kael reveals his conspiracy theory that the Super Bowl was scripted, along with evidence towards this idea.

That then sparks us to talk about where we would cho...

In this episode, we start out talking about the merits and history of popcorn as a movie theater snack, before discussing why hot salty nuts have not taken the place of popcorn as the primary moviegoing snack food.
