    Ever wondered what it's like to swap the serene streets of Stockholm for the wide-open spaces of Nebraska? Our lovely guest Emma from Sweden does just that, sharing her eye-opening experiences and cultural observations that range from the curious to the hilarious. Together, we reminisce about the once-bustling shopping malls of yore, now laid low by the rise of online shopping. With humor as our guide, we recall the holiday chaos of crowded malls and muse over peculiar modern-day shopping quirks.

    As the holiday season edges closer, we get caught up in the whirlwind of last-minute shopping and the surprising speed at which holiday films hit streaming platforms. Our chat takes a funny turn with tales of celebrity antics, including The Rock's infamous punctuality, and the increasing popularity of digital gifts over traditional toys. Picture this: sneaking toys into carts and even "borrowing" from others—yes, we've done it all. The discussion extends to childhood gift preferences, from treasured action figures to the now-coveted gift cards for online gaming platforms.

    Ready for a bit of whimsy? Our playful banter continues with quirky "would you rather" scenarios that will have you chuckling. Imagine choosing between sticky hands or slimy feet, or debating the merits of a floating house versus an underwater hotel. As Emma joins in on the fun, we also touch on the heartwarming aspects of Christmas traditions and the joyous bonds formed through cultural exchange. With thoughtful reflections on personal growth, seasonal traditions, and a teaser of more fun to come with Emma Hayward, this episode is packed with laughter, nostalgia, and insightful conversations.

    Thank you for giving us a go, and hope you stick with us as we have some really amazing guest on and hole you have a laugh or two but no more than three.

  • Cartoon Conspiracies and Festive Fun
    Dec 8 2024

    What if the cartoons we grew up loving had secrets that only adults can decode? Join us, Scott Powers, Jim Banks, and Keith Mackie, as we unravel mind-blowing cartoon conspiracies that range from Mickey Mouse's mysterious backroom deals to the idea of government mind-control plots involving ghosts. We also share our chaotic holiday shopping adventures and debate the perfect timing for putting up those Christmas decorations. Listen in as Keith shares a unique method to keep the magic of Santa alive for kids using clever sound effects. Our freewheeling conversation promises laughter and nostalgia, avoiding politics and religion, but diving deep into the fun of holiday traditions.

    In this episode, we don our detective hats to examine darker cartoon conspiracies that may have slipped past us as kids. Discover the political firestorm behind the "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" episode arc "Conflict," and explore a chilling theory about "Rugrats" that reimagines Angelica's world. We also critique Disney's "The Lion King" for its portrayal of stereotypes and rethink the classic "Peter Pan" through a provocative fan theory. As we navigate through uncanny predictions by "The Simpsons" and tackle the legendary "Scooby-Doo" gang's draft-dodging rumors, we're inviting you to send us your suggestions for future conspiracy topics. We're here to entertain and engage, steering clear of religion and politics, but with a fresh take on your favorite animated tales.

    Thank you for giving us a go, and hope you stick with us as we have some really amazing guest on and hole you have a laugh or two but no more than three.

  • From Deep-Fried Turkeys to Mustached Horses
    Dec 1 2024

    Ever felt the pressure of crafting the perfect Thanksgiving meal only to witness it transform into a comedy of culinary errors? Join us as we recount our holiday escapades, with Scott's relentless turkey updates keeping Keith awake at all hours. Keith from Toledo jumps in to share his own holiday routine, complete with pre-meal naps, and the chaos of accommodating dietary needs, like sugar-free desserts for diabetic relatives. Amidst the laughter, we recount the infamous deep-frying turkey incident and the gravy volcano that erupted more than just flavors at the dinner table.

    Did you know that sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins? Or that koalas' fingerprints could potentially put them at the scene of a crime? Let your imagination run wild with us as we explore the quirky side of animals, from sea cucumbers’ bizarre defense tactics to horses sporting mustaches. The term "nurdle" might sound like an alien language, but it's actually a delightful word for a blob of toothpaste, and trust us, it's worth discussing!

    We round out the episode with a whirlwind of bizarre phenomena, starting with the unfortunate saga of Charles Osborne's 68-year-long hiccup marathon. We ponder the hilarity and challenges of living with such a condition, and then pivot to octopuses punching fish and the existence of beefalos. With a dash of whimsy, we engage in playful debates about invisibility, celebrity life swaps, and whether driverless cars are trustworthy. To top it all off, join us in guessing the origins of mysterious audio clips, promising laughter and surprises to keep you thoroughly entertained.

    Thank you for giving us a go, and hope you stick with us as we have some really amazing guest on and hole you have a laugh or two but no more than three.
