Valentine’s Day misadventures, absurd Ohio laws, the untold stories of J6 hostages, and the rising cost of everyday essentials—this episode takes a sharp, unfiltered look at the strange and often ridiculous realities shaping our lives. Along the way, we dive into nostalgia-fueled Spring Break reflections, DIY disasters that went terribly wrong, and the unexpected science behind why swearing might actually help with pain.

Keith Malinak, Brad Staggs, and Wes Castelhano bring their signature mix of wit, skepticism, and unfiltered storytelling to topics that range from the deeply political to the hilariously trivial. What starts as a conversation about personal anecdotes quickly unfolds into a broader commentary on government overreach, the quirks of human behavior, and the oddities of American culture.

From the questionable future of radio to the bizarre intersection of HOA bylaws and personal freedom, this episode doesn’t shy away from the absurdity of it all. Whether you're here for the satire, the history, or just the sheer unpredictability of the conversation, one thing is certain—this one is worth the listen.

Ever wondered what really happens behind the mic? This deep dive into radio industry secrets, shocking broadcasting stories, and lost industry connections reveals the untold moments that shaped radio history.

From industry networking secrets to hilarious live radio mishaps, we share stories that only insiders know. We uncover unexpected connections between hosts, discuss influential mentors, and reveal untold moments from radio history.
