And… We’re back! While the world sits in isolation, episode 94 came knocking on our doors looking for Ray Finkle. So, we thought, let’s take a look at nineteen ninety-four and more specifically, the three films of that year that launched Jim Carrey into superstardom – Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb & Dumber. Crazy hair, Hawaiian shirts, green faces, chipped teeth and the greatest tu...

This week on the DATESCAST, it's Easter and Derek's daughter's birthday and a pandemic. Aka the Perfect Storm. How will he survive this? He probably won't. But his fellow snackologist Tim is here to pick him up, tell him his voice sounds nice, and most importantly eat snacks with him even during a crisis. And during this holiday season, our Hot Boys are feeling spicy so they are rating Hot Tamales...

We laughed. We cried. We drank a lot. . . Virtually, of course. This year’s WrestleMania is sure to be one we’ll never forget. As with any Mania, it had its forgettable moments, but it also had its moments that will forever be etched into our memories. We don’t really know what the immediate future of pro wrestling will look like, but for now, we’re just rolling with what they’re giving us. Featur...

This week on the DATEScast, Derek is already dreaming of replacing Tim with MIB and moving to Hollywood for the celebrity services.

It doesn't help repair their relationship.  Featuring: Derek Montilla (...

It’s WrestleMania week, baybeeeeee!!!! Yeah, I know. Things are weird right now. There are debates about what pro wrestling should be doing these days, if anything. But WrestleMania is going to happen, even without an audience. It’s unprecedented, and we’ll be getting together online to watch it – the good, the bad, and the awkward. That said, it’s time for us to look at the card, question why cer...

I mean, seriously. Who yells at a drone? We’re all going a little stir crazy. But thankfully, AEW and NXT have decided to step up their games in the midst of shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, and the like. We break down some of our favorite moments from the last week or two as we all prepare for whatever the heck WrestleMania is going to be. Featuring: ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman...

This week on the DATEScast, it's no big deal but Mike from MATES stops in to talk about the end of the world and how the A-List through D-List celebrities are all going to make it out of this coronavirus situation alive. He also predicts what percentage of this podcast is going to survive and gives us an update on both Tom's whereabouts and his involvement in the Daredevil & Flash - Tango & Cash -...

We know times are tough right now…so we’re back to (hopefully) provide a welcome distraction!

This week on the DATEScast...EPISODE XCII: IT ALL STARTED WITH SWEDISH FISH...our heroes are stranded in their own homes because of the coronavirus outbreak. But that will not stop them from giggling about the name Dick's Sporting Goods. It also won't stop them from boldly going where no man has gone before. Or something like that. They make the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs to pick, eat, and rate Nest...

What's that? It's been two weeks and we already have to recap another WWE Network Special? Ahhhhh...we must be on the Road to Wrestlemania. A road that was once clean and beautiful where you could go 85 MPH from the Royal Rumble to the Grandaddy of them All is now cluttered with traffic and trash. But despite not having that "big match" we felt was missing, Elimination Chamber provided a nice spot...

This week on the DATEScast, Derek is sick with possibly the coronavirus and Tim is his number one suspect. After arguing about who got who sick and who drank more at Jared's wedding, our snackologists make up just in time to pick, eat and rate this last remaining shred of evidence from the Jew-C's bachelor party, La Belle Creole Creamy Pralines. Or PRAHHHlines, as Tim makes everyone say it. Rememb...

This week on the DATEScast, Tim and Derek are in the same place at the same time. While they have been brought together by their love for snacks and their hatred of Nazis in the past, they're brought together this time by their friend 'A-Bomb' Adam Hess. Their very own "Uncle Traveling Matt" has lived an adventure filled life, while our heroes have lived a cream-filled life. However, these two fac...

Despite our feelings on the WWE's Super Showdown in Saudi Arabia, some major things happened at this year's show, and your Uncle Beek and your Mayor of Reseda are here to cover it. Even if they didn't REALLY watch it. We talk about things we like, like the Monday Night Messiah touching people with both hands, the RKO/Edge build, and NXT showing off their full roster. And some things we don't like,...

On this edition of Minutes with the Mayor, Derek is joined by the lovely Faye Jackson to talk about her unexpected event during Mania weekend in Tampa, The Grey Sweatpants Battle Royal. Featuring more than just a handful of guys (wink), Faye discusses how this 30-man Battle Royal somehow came together after an intoxicated Sunday of drunk tweeting during the Royal Rumble. What are the rules? Who ca...

What do you get when you cross a crazy female anti-hero with an ex-GCPD cop, the daughter of a murdered mob boss, a street urchin and a lounge singer with a ‘killer’ voice? You get the longest title for a superhero movie ever: Birds of Prey & The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. In another sausage party, we break down the latest movie from DC / Warner Brothers and try to understand it...

This week on the DATEScast, Derek and Tim are airing their grievances with Ben. Jerry is cool apparently. While on the topic, the duo debate supporting people who produce things you like even though they may be terrible people.

This week, your Uncle Beek and your Mayor of Reseda cover another wacky week of professional wrestling. We talk about Shayna out here biting people and the women of NXT dominating. Also, did we see the end of Matt Hardy's WWE career again? And will he become...the Exalted Matt Hardy? All of this and more on this week's show along with a dash of actual praise for Roman Reign and ciders. Featuring:...
