Shenanigans Episode 83: The Podcast For George

Welcome to a very special episode of Shenanigans as we commemorate our friend, George. We recorded this special podcast at the Transit Drive In at the Memorial for George Root. We had some special guests, including George's brother, who sat in with us to tell us their stories about George, and we had his former bandmates perform "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. Make sure you listen all the way to the very end.

We miss you, George.

Shenanigans Episode 82: Well That Escalated Quickly, Mike

This week we learned that the Swedish Chef is running for a political position and he's advertising in one of the most unique places. There's a zoo in Europe that focuses on the study of poop, even extinct poop. Cow kissing has apparently become a thing that requires legislation to protect public safety. Vinnie doesn't give a royal damn that Rich's favorite jeans are pegged Bugle Boys. We all think we should start a GoFundMe so we can record live from the Spice Girls tour bus.

Also, we on the lookout for a very special memorial episode for George this weekend.

Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden, Vinnie

Shenanigans Episode 81: I Smell Purple, It's Spinning

Of course this week we needed to address the Game of Thrones finale. Now we all need to find a new show to binge. Rich says he won't watch the Simpsons until its all over and then binge it. Missing beer leads to a story about Vinnie-zilla. So there's now chicken nugget ice cream and Unhappy Meals. Canada has a special new condiment that the Cree find hysterical.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 1: Let's Meet the Dads

Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Dads Must Be Crazy. Craig, Howie, and Bobby are not your traditional 9 to 5 dads. Their parenting is far different than what their fathers or grandfathers did. Today, we meet the trio and learn how they ended up staying at home during those formative years, how they help their wives, and how moms still do a ton of the work.

Running Time: 58 minutes

Shenanigans Episode 80: But Is She Top Rack Safe?

Well...we go way long this week at just under two hours. The first half hour is talking about Game of Thrones, upcoming Disney movies, and a royal conspiracy. The rest of the episode? Aside from paintball and that Vinnie doesn't like blue cheese, it's all Rich's fault. Seriously. He chose the articles this week. But it sure is funny.

Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden, Vinnie, Howie

Shenanigans Episode 78: The Adventures of Mike Littoris, Garlic Farmer

It was Avengers weekend and Game of Thrones weekend. We talk about both without giving any spoilers. Apparently the Easter Bunny has some MMA training and potholes could save your life. Howie's cat ate his homework, while cows are lining up for their very own glamour shots. Invisible aliens are interbreeding with humans and you're putting what where?? Although we used to try to be, again, this episode is NSFW.

A unicorn sheep was saved from death by beer and we found more bridal party demands, this time from an uninvited guest.

Shenanigans Episode 76: If We're Ranking on a Scale of 1

We have a full house this week as Howie makes an appearance and we have a special guest for that coveted sixth spot. As we recorded on Monday, the news of the day was talked about -- the terrible fire at Notre Dame de Paris. Since it's Holy Week, we also had to mention the possibility of racist Easter Ducks. There were some martial art shenanigans at Walmart, complete with crazy dogs. Rogue Roombas remind us that the machines are coming. Or at least helping. And what is that thing they're selling at the local convenience store?
