Utah's VFX

AJ & McCall are up early, but does that make them morning people? Is it being productive in the morning that makes you an early person? The lesson from Florida Or Not is to know your worth when you self-kidnap, but what about your taste? Due to a medical condition a woman in Scotland can taste words. What the heck do you think your name would taste like? Ahead of Valentine’s Day maybe you’re p...

We’re starting to build a streak but does the polar vortex balance out the crazy from Florida? Story #1 – Lady gets arrested for putting her business cards on a car for her drug business Story #2 – Family gets in a fight over a game of Monopoly and one goes on the run Story #3 – Guys break in to a Dominoes and steal a safe…that’s empty

Nicholas Cage found his way in to McCall’s dreams last night, which she hated, because a movie was on while she was sleeping. Despite that she still wants to watch the Ted Bundy Docuseries. However, Dustin said he wouldn’t watch it with her. AJ doesn’t watch scary movies with Ashleigh either. Do you have couple rules for scary movies? Is there something a partner won’t watch? Anyone have tips so t...

It is cold this morning, but not nearly as cold as the rest of the country. Who has it coldest and is listening to VFX? In Florida Or Not a family got in a fight over Monopoly, which McCall says is the worst for starting fights, but AJ says there’s one worse. What was the game that starts fights with your friends or family? After hating on Nicholas Cage forever she had a dream about him. It’s actu...

Two in a row going for three and McCall can’t even make it through the first story. Story #1 – Guy is arrested for attacking his wife with a burrito Story #2 – Cold crime spree with people stealing coats Story #3 – Guy calls 911 several times to take him to jail and then he goes to jail

Who really wanted space coffee? Or an adult bib that holds your snacks? Or that sharks prefer jazz music? Science is finding out and inventing things that no one actually wants or needs. AJ & McCall are coming up solutions for the Debate At 8 when it comes to the things we really need, including a mug McCall wants and something she has the world wants.

The South is shutting down because of a few inches of snow and the Midwest is dealing with a polar vortex. There’s extreme weather everywhere, but what’s the craziest weather you’ve been in? Fun fact, AJ collects mementos and keepsakes from EVERYWHERE; high school, jobs, vacations. What have you kept? Double fun fact, McCall hates two dollar bills. Space coffee and adult bib to hold your snacks ha...

Can you judge a co-worker after three days? Someone wants the answer to this advice from AJ & McCall for the Debate At 8. It’s quick, but what if your cliches tell you that you aren’t a fan of a co-worker. No rules have been broken but things are just rubbing the wrong way. It all starts with our own terrible co-worker experiences.

Over the weekend AJ did something he never has before, a split check in the drive thru and felt like a jerk. Should he? McCall can not believe how dumb the roomba reviews are. When we were kids we just had our imaginations to think about our futures, including careers. If 5-year-old you picked your job, what would it be? The cliche is “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” but what about trusting your...

AJ & McCall Drop the Mic on mind melting thoughts. It started as the Mandela Effect, one of McCall’s favorite conspiracy theories and something Intern Tiny Tim has done an internet research on, but then quickly went down a rabbit hole. Do we really know what we think we know? Past lives, genetic memories, skills we’ll never know? This one gets deep in a hurry.

It has been a whole lot of losing recently and that needs to change! Story #1 – Student calls in bomb threat to stop parents from visiting Story #2 – Lady arrested for dancing pants-less and licking the face of the Waffle House manager Story #3 – Kid drops acid, gropes his teacher and chokes the nurse while screaming “I’m an Avenger!”

Last week AJ got a home security system and feels very safe with it but is missing one key piece, an escape plan! It involves keeping the keys in the bedroom and moving the cars for a backdoor exit. McCall says it’s crazy and with her dogs and weapons that anyone who decided to come in to her house would not be happy. Fight or flee for the Debate At 8? And how do bomb shelters fit in to this?

Is ketchup ketchup? Is ranch ranch? Or do you need specific kinds like McCall? AJ bought cookies this week caving big time on his no snacks in the house policy. That’s how he keeps himself from eating them. Do you hide snacks from yourself or others? Last week AJ got a security system for his house but there was one final piece missing for his safety, an escape plan! McCall says that’s crazy and i...

Finally back on the winning streak but can we keep it going? Story #1 – Man arrested after arguing with a cop and crossing a line the cop told him not to Story #2 – Driver throws a speeding ticket out the window and then gets a ticket for littering Story #3 – Guy stabs his friend after their pants exchange doesn’t go well

Valentine’s Day is three weeks from today and perhaps a gift or a purchase you’ll be making is an engagement ring, but how do you go about it? How do you find out what kind of ring to get? What about keeping it a secret? And of course the purchase, how do you go about it? McCall will reflect on her engagement experience and AJ was only asked about buying a ring heading in to the Debate At 8.

Great news for Valentine’s Day! The original chalk hearts are not being made this year and AJ couldn’t be happier. When it comes to Valentine’s Day, what do you do for it? The commercialized holidays are McCall’s pet peeves. Do you celebrate on the day itself? Do you get gifts? Is a proposal in the future for V-Day? It’s a romantic time of the year, but how are you going about it? AJ & McCall...

Can we get back to winning? Story #1 – Guy destroys TV and car with an axe because he thought his wife sold his action figures Story #2 – Lady got shot after performing favors for $5 and a can of Pringles Story #3 – Carjacker fails because he left the car in park

The holidays are well behind us but birthdays, anniversaries are all coming this year, surprise, and AJ can’t bite his tongue anymore. He was been frustrated with family and how they go about things when it comes to gifts, and McCall has tea to spill as well. This Debate At 8 is gift giving etiquette; self-giving, gift requesting and gift judging.

McCall is in a cult! …well according to AJ, who else has tidied up with Marie Kondo. AJ is really dealing with a cult…of bugs! All of a sudden he has a ton of Box Elder Bugs and needs tips to get rid of them. AJ is notorious for not scrapping off his windshield all that much. How much of your windshield needs to be clear for you to drive? AJ has been biting his tongue since the holidays but can’t...

It’s Blue Monday for McCall also because the Patriots are going to the Super Bowl. But more importantly, can we get back on a winning streak? Story #1 – Guy asks judge for mercy so he can propose to his GF that stabbed him 13 times Story #2 – Cops arrest a guy after horses changes him down Story #3 – Guy pulled over because of too much multi-tasking, including drugs

To combat the most depressing Monday of the year AJ & McCall bring you a super Debate At 8! Meeting at a funeral, 53 year age gap, first date at Chuckie Cheese and proposing over the phone are all from the same story. This story is so cringey and then you add in AJ having some experience with this awkwardness.

Today seems just like a normal lousy Monday, but it’s actually a Mega Monday! Studies have deemed today Blue Monday, the most depressing one of the year. To combat it AJ & McCall are launching Feel Good Flowers! AJ’s house got an upgrade this weekend and then he thought it got broken in to. If you could something extravagant to your house what would it be? To combat this super depressing Monda...

AJ & McCall Drop the Mic on culture shock. Intern Tiny Tim joins the podcast and these three have all been lucky enough to travel internationally, but did they suffer from culture shock? What was the most anxious part of their trips? Was it difficult to communicate? Did Tim find it easier to travel as a Navy seaman or as a civilian? Was there any danger or uncomfortable situations?

It was a stumper heading in to the weekend. Story #1 – Police raid a guy’s house and find a dead bald eagle Story #2 – Guy drives his sports car in to the water because God told him to Story #3 – Guy builds and IED while eating at a sushi restaurant

There’s a reason your past jobs are not your current jobs, and normally when AJ & McCall bring them up it isn’t in a fond way. However, there are still things you can learn from past jobs. Apparently McCall is an ice cream prodigy and the front office ladies are amazed with what AJ learned from a past job. What useful or useless skill do you have from a past jobs for the Debate At 8?
