S2E10: Sad Honks and Tributes
Three names. Three gut punches. Three reminders that a “celebrity” can still feel like someone who helped raise you. We’re talking about the losses of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, and why those passings landed like more than just ...
S2E9: Gabby Gooses: Loaded Questions & Peanut Butter
A simple “how are you doing?” turns into a whole philosophy problem, and that is the energy we bring today. We bounce from a real-time murder trial deep dive to the strange comfort of watching the internet piece together clues, and we talk abou...
S2E8: Muppets, Xenomorphs, and Lieutenant Dan
Every once in a while, a dumb question turns into a flawless creative challenge. We ask it with our full chest: what could make every single movie you’ve ever seen better? Our answer is simple and deeply irresponsible. Add Muppets.Guest...
S2E7: Die Honk and Other Crimes Against Cinema
Swap one actor for a goose and suddenly you learn what a movie is really made of. We start with a deceptively simple pitch, “What if Jaws had a goose in the lead,” then spiral into a full-on pop culture comedy lab where we keep recasting iconic...
S2E6: Have Fun Stormin' the Castle
A movie can be a romance, a comedy, an adventure, and a fairy tale all at the same time, but only if everyone involved commits to the bit and to the heart. We’re joined by our longtime friend Erin, a true Princess Bride superfan, to unpack why ...
S2E5: Land of the Free Unless You're Honking by a Sandwich Shop
A law says you can’t honk your horn near a sandwich shop after 9 PM. Another says you can’t wake a sleeping bear just to take a photo. If that sounds fake, that’s exactly why we had to talk about it.We run through a rapid-fire list of b...
S2E4: The Bell Witch - America's Pettiest Ghost
A ghost that doesn’t just haunt a house, but keeps showing up across American history like a bad habit? That’s the Bell Witch, and once you hear the full arc, it’s hard to unsee why people still call it America’s number one ghost story....
S2E3: Teeth Thieves, UFOs, and a Dick Named Jerry - A Presidential History
Presidents are sold to us as symbols: brave founders, steady wartime leaders, polished portraits with perfect quotes. We’re not buying it today. Scott joins us for a rapid-fire ride through weird presidential facts that are hilarious, grim, and...
S2E2: John Paul Jones America’s First Naval Gremlin
The American Revolution didn’t just need speeches and muskets, it needed a navy that could survive against the most dominant fleet on Earth. That’s where John Paul Jones storms into the story: a Scottish-born sailor who shows up with a talent f...
S2E1: Waffle House, NASCAR, and Deep-Fried Butter
Season two starts the only way we know how: a little unhinged, a little heartfelt, and way too honest about how close we can get to burnout before we call it a “season.” We talk about why the social media game is exhausting for podcasters and s...
S1E30: Gabby Gooses: Pigeons Are Fake And So Is Our Setup
The night starts with pure chaos: busted tech, sweaty stress, and us recording however we can just to get the mic hot. But once we settle in, we lean into what we do best: shooting the shit and chasing questions that are funny, unsettling, and ...
S1E29: Stoffel Doesn't Give a Damn - The Honey Badger Escape Artist
A honey badger kicks open a fridge, raids a tourist lodge, and turns lock design into a full-time sport, then decides his life’s mission is to fight one specific lion. That’s not a bit. That’s Stoffel, and once we started pulling on this thread...
S1E28 - Mad Libs Mayhem
A single Mad Libs website gave us thousands of prompts and absolutely zero guardrails, so we did the only responsible thing: turned it into an hour of improv chaos. We start with some studio silliness, then build an “action mission briefing” th...
S1E27: Not One Step Back - The Battle of Stalingrad
Stalingrad isn’t a battle you “learn” once and move on from. It’s a crash course in what happens when ideology, ego, and logistics collide inside a real city full of real people. We start with the uneasy lead-up: Hitler and Stalin’s temporary n...
S1E26: Time Travel Rabbit Holes
Time travel is supposed to be a fun “what if” until you follow the logic for more than thirty seconds and realize you’ve built a paradox you can’t crawl out of. We sit down with Mark Stanislavski, a published comic book writer and lifelong coll...
S1E25: Gabby Gooses - Chicken in the Oven!
Someone really left a date because his chicken was in the oven. Not a line. Not a cover story. Actual chicken, actual oven, actual goodbye. That story kicks off a chaotic hang with Lily, a UK TikTok streamer we adore, and it sets the tone for a...
S1E24: Po-TAY-Toes!
Potatoes are supposed to be a safe topic. Then we start ranking fries and suddenly we’re arguing about crinkle cuts, the McDonald’s “eat them while they’re hot” rule, and why a fry only makes sense next to the sandwich it was born to ride with....
S1E23: Sandwich Talk
A sandwich sounds simple until you try to define it out loud. We start with the big question people love to fight over what counts as a sandwich and what absolutely does not, and we set some ground rules before the hot dog discourse eats the wh...
S1E22 - Superhero Fantasies w/The Time Pals
A superhero can be flat, fueled by cocaine, or cursed to detonate exactly once, and somehow all of that is canon. We sit down with our friends from Time Pals and turn the mics into a messy comic book writers room where the only rule is that the...
S1E21: Who’s Most Likely To
A dumb little card deck can reveal a lot. We sit down with a “Who’s Most Likely To” party game and suddenly we’re debating marriage sleep rules, defending the right to pockets, and admitting exactly how comfortable we are with chaos. The prompt...
S1E20: Gabby Gooses: IMDb & Rubik's Cubes
IMDb can’t stop ranking movies, and we can’t stop arguing about them. We start with the IMDb Top 250 movies list, the legend of The Shawshank Redemption, and how Dune 2 shakes up the conversation. From classic crime epics to animated masterpiec...
S1E19: A Haunted Childhood
A lot of ghost stories sound spooky from a distance. They feel very different when you’re the kid standing in the hallway hearing footsteps, feeling the temperature drop, and watching the house respond like it’s listening. We sit down with Mile...
S1E18: Hot Food Hot Takes
Sugar in red sauce. Deglazing cast iron. Breaded bone-in wings. Room temp broccoli cheddar soup eaten as dip. We came in ready to talk about “food hot takes,” and somehow it turned into a full-on courtroom where everyone’s favorite meal is on t...
S1E17: Pirate Queen and Lady Death: Women Who Outwitted, Terrified, and Survived
Two women changed the game—and the record books—by turning chaos into design. First, we dive into the rise of Qing Shi, the pirate empress who transformed coastal China into her own operating system. From a floating brothel in Canton, she negot...
S1E16: Badass Women in Cinema
What makes a woman “badass” on screen isn’t a quip or a cool jacket—it’s the mix of survival, leadership, and consequence. We dive straight into the icons who set the bar: Ellen Ripley outwits the unimaginable, Sarah Connor builds a future with...
