Is It a Walking Day? | #196 Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Chris and Erik debate whether burping is worse than farting, recap a 5 a.m. estate auction bid on some not-so-real diamonds, and trade sleep struggles that end with the Stadium Pal, a wearable fix for the middle-of-the-night pee. Nick brings the news: Mario Lopez's AI video, Jonah Hill's jiu-jitsu confidence, Liam Neeson's mystery pants, a Freddy Krueger remake that turned out to be fake, a Master of the Universe knockoff that's somehow real, and the viral wheelchair video that has everyone asking: is it a walking day?

How Many He-Man Movies Are There? | #195 Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

This week the guys get into the Tucker Carlson x Sam Altman interview, whether convincing yourself you slept great actually works, and how many He-Man movies came out recently. They talk Supergirl and Superman, and why Sydney Sweeney was the obvious choice for Supergirl. Erik recaps a travel nightmare where his bags got shipped to two different states, plus the time Chris flew home with a Harry Potter broom. They debate whether headliners should let openers sell merch, react to the Odyssey salary list, argue about Matt Damon and De Niro, and swap audition stories, including losing a part to Jon Bernthal and the Workaholics tape that changed everything.

High Falutin' Stuff at Low Falutin' Places | #194 Jul 24, 2026

Show notes

Adam Carolla joins Chris and Erik this week and gives the real state of the fire rebuilds: why the Palisades is slowly coming back while Malibu sits frozen behind the Coastal Commission, million-dollar septic upgrades, and foundations that need 300 concrete trucks before a single stud goes up. He also live-critiques an Instagram container house build, tells the legendary Man Show clam chowder story that ended a bachelor party at the Spearmint Rhino, and remembers the year Eminem bought everyone Taco Bell. Plus fake meat paranoia, why nobody cares about aliens anymore, billionaire bunkers, the Sam Altman whistleblower interview, and the carpenter mindset shift that explains why Adam will never retire.
