Episode 462: Chasing the Perfect Hot Dog
[Remember being a kid? There was no ads!!]
Ah man. The raccoons got into the freaking crack again. And, yep, it’s making them do some really weird stuff, as you might expect. First of all, they’re raccoons. And to my understanding, them being wild animals, if there were enough of them stone cold sober, we might be in trouble. I don’t know how well raccoons coordinate but you gotta imagine they have teeth. Oh, and not to mention they have opposable thumbs, right? So they can handle weapons or draw strategic diagrams. They might even be able to disarm us, if we don’t use proper form. But now you’re telling me they’re on crack as well – which is still a drug, mind you – a drug which can have certain effects on those who consume it. Being that it’s the raccoons what consumed it, it stands to reason that the critters have become even less predictable than they already were. Not for nothing, but I was having a hard time predicting what they were gonna do anyway. Now with the crack, it’s anybody’s guess. I wish we hadn’t found ourselves in this situation, but it is what it is. Maybe if we had had the crack on our side, or maybe if we were the raccoons, things would’ve turned out different. All I can hope for now is that my grandmother gets a robot to talk to her until she dies, and Teslas get a heads-up display. And maybe…just maybe, if we pray hard enough, some 40 year old guy will go watch a baseball game. God willing.

I think it would be awesome to never see Glen Powell in anything ever again, which is the correct opinion to have about that slice of wheat bread
Matt Johnson go on YKS
I genuinely love when you guys complain about ex subscribers makes me laugh a lot I love how you hate
Just blowing past a man’s name being Morris Moobs?
Words cannot describe the despair I felt after imagining The Charlie Kirk Memorial Portable Classrooms
Fully compatible with sunglasses
Something in my person was insisting delaying listening to this one and lo and behold its Jesse’s dogshit opinions on movies made before 1990. Ah yes the game show host of years was bad playing a game show host, yes yes, lets get you to bed grandpa John Hamburger
dan run the next ep through your space echo
Jesse seems mad as hell lately--hope things are cool.
It’s called Being a Middle Aged Father in 2026 it sucks try it sometime
Love Bob...
I grew up a few miles from Dingus in a town called Nards.
The announcer from The Running Man is Professor Membrane from Invader Zim, clocked it immediately lol Edit: not Phil Dawson, the other announcer describing Buzzsaw
Dawson killing it
The Running Man book kinda rocks
Matt and Jay on the pod would be amazing especially if you’re talking movies
JF you are BANNED from movies
The game show looks and is like a game show?????? Wow!
"And I would say, also, it doesn't really matter how big your thing is." Sometimes, I feel like my podcast guys are speaking directly to me.
despite how triggered i am by jesse's running man opinions (and i don't even like the original one that much), i have to remember he has the right opinion on the avatar movies (boring pieces of shit)
You have to ignore 90% of Jesse movie takes to survive years of YKS
Why is Jesse's attempt at disparaging "the old Running Man" making it sound awesome
Cause it rules
I think the cold email guys would be funny but I’d be worried about how they might react. People be crazy, I don’t want my fav podcast hosts on an ep of Forensic Files.
I’ve always thought your normal show + guests would be fun. Auguest was awesome, and all your segments would play great with guests.
Not the AI guys tho. Like a real guy.
the lite brite guy in running man is so fucking funny
there is a podcast about original movies and their remakes - Once More With Feeling - but they've mostly done disney movies so far. one of the co-hosts does really cool analysis and discussion of horror movies and monsters on her main channel, The Morbid Zoo. might be something for DB xoxo
Another banger
