Episode 201: From Big Ten Shockwaves To Pop-Tart Mascots: Chaos In College Football And Life
Dec 09, 2025

A shocker in the Big Ten flips our weekend on its head: Ohio State falls to Indiana, and we dive straight into how it happened. We break down the chess match in the trenches, why Indiana kept hammering the right side, and how red zone confusion turned short-yardage into missed chances. Credit where it’s due—Curt Cignetti has a plan and a program—but we also talk accountability, from who’s holding the play sheet to why your best players can’t be spectators when the game hangs on one drive.

From there, we zoom out to a brack...

Episode 200: Four Years, 200 Episodes, And A Buckeye Beatdown
Dec 02, 2025

Rivalries don’t just crown winners; they expose identities. We kick off with Ohio State’s statement over Michigan, tracing the arc from an early gut-punch to a slow, ruthless squeeze built on line-of-scrimmage control. An 18-play, 11-minute drive becomes the thesis: fewer snaps, higher efficiency, and a defense that turns games into long exhales. We walk through Julius Sayin’s composure after a pick, Bo Jackson running angry with purpose, and receivers winning on leverage when it mattered most. Then we zoom out—why common-opponent comparisons mislead, how tempo inflates perceptions, and when a team should speed up vs. doub...

Episode 199: When Violence Hits Home, Community Answers
Nov 24, 2025

A hard story hit our street, and we don’t look away. We start by walking through the Tiffin homicide-suicide with care: what happened, why leaving an abusive partner can be the most dangerous time, and how to support survivors without drifting into blame. From there, we talk about what a community can do right now—verify donation links, share official resources, and push for counseling access for neighbors and first responders who can’t unsee what they saw. The throughline is simple: compassion lands best when it’s paired with practical steps.

We lighten the grip a notch...

Episode 198: From Brian Regan To RTA Chaos: A Night Out
Nov 21, 2025

Laughter carried us into the night, but everything that followed turned the story into something bigger: a clean-comedy masterclass, a budget food hack that actually works, a Browns game framed by a wild RTA ride, and the kind of local news that stops you mid-sentence. We start with Brian Regan’s clinic in timing and physical storytelling—proof that clean humor can still crush when the craft is tight. From there, we tip into the edgier side of stand-up and ask where taste, context, and consent intersect when a room signs up for discomfort and punchlines.

The prac...

Episode 197 Live Spoofs...We Butcher 90s Hits For Your Entertainment!
Nov 11, 2025

The best nights start messy: we open with sharp banter on why nostalgia-heavy sequels rarely land, celebrate the micro-jokes that make Naked Gun timeless, and then slam the gas into a reckless, hilarious experiment—live spoof karaoke. No safety net, no rewrites. You’ll hear hooks get twisted in real time, punchlines that barely stick, and a few moments of unexpected genius that prove comedy rewards risk.

From there, the vibe hard-switches into a guided tour of modern heavy music. We break down what makes Spiritbox’s precision so addictive, why Slaughter To Prevail’s gutturals feel like a c...

Episode 196: From Losing A Cat To Launching A Store: Resilience, Rivalries, And Real Talk
Nov 09, 2025

A week can break your heart and still make you smile. We said goodbye to a beloved cat and then turned around to DJ two wildly different weddings—one set against the fall colors of Hocking Hills, the other a Halloween celebration with killer decor and big energy. That emotional whiplash opened a bigger conversation about how we carry grief while pushing a dream forward.

On the business side, we get candid about lease limbo, letters of intent, and how not having an address stalls everything from insurance to internet. We unpack cash flow, the value of a...

Episode 195: Neighbors, Please Don’t Puke In My Yard!!
Oct 28, 2025

A quiet Sunday turned into something else entirely. We kick things off with the Big Ten pulse check—Ohio State’s defense looks nasty, disciplined, and deceptively complex, while Michigan’s power run game still feels one note against an elite unit. Indiana’s surprising charge raises a real question: are we watching a true new contender or a hot streak built on timing and grit? We dig into coaching impact, road-game confidence, and the thin margin between swagger and a trap.

Then the night flips. A college party swells behind the house, cars creep onto the lawn, an...

Episode 194: Reputation Is Built In The Fix, Not In The Fail
Oct 22, 2025

A single phone call during a first dance turns a smooth wedding into a crisis: we accidentally overbooked a high school homecoming. The pit-in-the-stomach moment hits hard—230 students, many of them seniors, waited for a night that wasn’t there. Instead of excuses, we take you through the repair in real time: finding a backup DJ, owning the mistake with the organizer at midnight, and building a make-good plan that actually matters. We commit our top school DJ for a free winter formal, cover the costs, and redirect our own pay to feed the students who already spent on tick...

Episode 193: Stephen Hawking off the top rope? Michael Jackson cuts a promo? AI Slop?
Oct 14, 2025

Ever watch a deepfake so convincing you laugh first and worry second? We jump straight into the surreal boom of AI-generated videos—celebs cutting promos, impossible wrestling spots, and the increasingly thin line between parody and manipulation. It’s hysterical and a little terrifying, and we unpack both sides: why the tech hooks us, how misinformation exploits it, and what we can do to stay sharp when our feeds blur reality.

From there, we get real about the grind of opening a storefront. Loan approved, inventory ready, and then everything stalls over who pays to knock down a fe...

Episode 192: Rankings Mean Nothing, But Our AI Polka About Slavery Apparently Does
Oct 07, 2025

Rankings don’t win games—habits do. We open with a blunt look at college football’s early-season chaos: hyped teams crumbling, Ohio State punching above expectations on defense, and the looming mental hurdle of beating Michigan. We talk paths to the playoff, why preseason polls distort the story, and how coaching changes can flip a unit’s identity faster than most fans think. It’s equal parts therapy and trash talk, the way only fall weekends can be.

Nostalgia hits fast—System of a Down singalongs, festival folklore, and the strange comfort of old riffs that never got a...

Episode 191: R.I.P to Earnest P. Kittycat!!
Sep 29, 2025

The week our loan got approved should’ve been the easy win. Instead, the space we’d picked for Big J’s Replays got rented out from under us, and we had to pivot hard—calling brokers, scouting a strip behind the mall, and negotiating shelves, gondolas, glass cases, and rolling racks like we were speedrunning retail Tetris. We get honest about the messy middle: protecting cash flow, asking for written holds, and buying fixtures that make a store feel intentional on day one.

We also open up about losing Ernie, our 17-year-old cat who shaped our mornings...

Sep 22, 2025

The humor starts flowing immediately as John and Jay kick off Episode 190 with their trademark irreverent banter. Jay shares his frustrating experience navigating the business loan application process—a classic catch-22 where he needs capital to start a business but gets asked how long his business has been operating. The absurdity isn't lost on the guys as they riff on the bureaucratic nonsense entrepreneurs face.

Football dominates the conversation as they break down weekend highlights, including several blocked field goals returned for touchdowns. The Cleveland Browns' unlikely victory and the Guardians' remarkable baseball comeback lead to a hi...

Sep 15, 2025

What happens when two friends with opposing political views tackle one of the most divisive news stories of the week? This episode opens with John and Jay addressing the Charlie Kirk shooting, navigating their political differences with remarkable mutual respect and humanity.

Despite their contrasting perspectives, the hosts find common ground in condemning political violence while maintaining their individual viewpoints. Their conversation reveals how modern discourse has deteriorated into finger-pointing and "gotchas" rather than substantive dialogue. They explore how internet anonymity, algorithmic echo chambers, and deep web subcultures contribute to real-world violence, delivering a sobering look at...

Football season has arrived, and we're breaking down Ohio State's commanding 70-0 victory alongside Michigan's unexpected struggles. From fantasy football matchups that have us sweating to college marching band appreciation, we cover the gridiron from all angles – including why we believe Ohio State has some serious depth with bench players who could start elsewhere.
