Shenanigans Episode 75: Darwin Loses This Round

After playing an April Fool's prank and bailing on the show last week, Walden is back to make it a foursome. A pair of Southern gentlemen graciously tested their personally owned bullet proof vests to ensure other who had them that they are effective. We talk about video gaming when we were growing up after reading about a mom who hand feeds her son while he plays. Cheese is the new cocaine, and there's a new, special perfume for those awkwardly bad high school dates.

Shenanigans Episode 74: OMG! Chuck Norris Just Farted!

And then we were three. With Howie and Walden bailing on us this week, it was the triumvirate of terror, Craig, Rich and Vinnie. We talked a lot about cars again and about our pets. We all have dogs. Apparently while all dogs go to heaven, they also all fart. We've learned some interesting things about hay fever cures, and new, friendlier laws in Utah. Meanwhile, there's the requisite nakedness in Florida, and a mac & cheese festival in Canada.

Shenanigans Episode 73: Tasting Roadkill in Pound Town

This week in Shenanigans, we talk about the retirement of Gronk. We feel that now gives him more time to drop by for a show. There is also a lot of military talk, as Vinnie explains some aspects of life in our armed forces. A town in Texas wants to change its name from Dripping Springs to Pound Town. Of course we had to comment on that. And roadkill could be heading to your plates in many states this year. We also aggravate Vinnie with our awesome Southern Accents.

Shenanigans Episode 72: Young Danny Trejo and the MySpace Herpes

We're back at it this week with more NSFW antics. We had the best of intentions to be on our best behavior, but that didn't last through the intros. It looks like the Marines were trying to do their part to help with the USC scandal, and imaginary friends are causing problems all over the place. MySpace accidentally deleted everything and no one noticed. Meanwhile, we learn of the futility of arguing with a 7-year-old.

Shenanigans Episode 71: Beware the Ides of March & Other Fine Print

If there ever was a Shenanigans episode that was NSFW, this is the one. It's all because of some bourbon, and it just goes downhill from there. This week, we talk about angry hipsters, anti-vaccers, and reading the fine print. It's been decided that the Martians will be paying for a new "space wall" to help block some of the sun and we debate what the best DC-Marvel crossover movie could be.

Shenanigans Rewound: Back Where It All Begins

Wednesday used to be George's day for publishing his articles. Today, I went deep into the Vaults for the very first episode of Shenanigans from way back in January 2016. I spent some time editing this episode to take out some background buzz and clear up the vocals. It's not perfect, but it is way better than what I had to start. This was  the first time we got together to put together a podcast. It all started with our daily Google chat that morphed into this podcast. We talk about everything, including George's cancer diagnosis. 

Cast: George, Scott, Craig

Running Time: 84 minutes

Shenanigans Episode 70: Hey George! What's Next?

Between recording this week's episode and posting it, we lost our co-founder, George, to cancer. We will carry on Shenanigans in his spirit, and we will all miss his wit, eye rolls, and infectious laughter. 

The Sandlot is making a comeback and so are cassettes. Why? We're not sure. Rich and Craig talk about their worst McDonald's experience from Sunday. Oh, the things they can make out of chocolate these days! And Rich pokes the bear with bad grammar and watches Craig lose his mind.

Shenanigans Episode 69: The Many Twists & Turns of Shenanigans

We had high hopes of Gronk dropping by for a visit to our 69th episode. Alas, it was not to be. We did learn that while Rich is not our moral center, he does keep us focused. This show is all over the place. We start talking about one thing and go way off on tangents. With Howie, of course there is a lot of TV talk, including a fancy new Golden Girls themed cruise. Light sabre dueling is now a thing and grapes become flaming balls of plasma in your microwave, but don't try it at home.

Shenanigans Episode 68: Is This a SNAFU or a FUBAR?

Yes, Valentines Day is over, but we found some naughty valentines from Disney. And some guy decided to sell himself to those lonely women for the holiday. He even had an a la carte selection of what options were available. Speaking of dating life, if you are a cattle farmer and have a lonely cow or two, there's a new love app for your cows and bulls. We get educated on the difference between a FUBAR, a SNAFU, and some other colorful metaphors for bad things taking place.

Cast: Craig, Rich, Vinnie, Miss Scarlett

Shenanigans Episode 67: The Goop That Laid the Jaded Egg

This week we start off with a little local baseball history that Craig thought George would find interesting. He didn't until after the show. Instead we end up on a long talk about sports, much to Rich's chagrin. So, we talk about movies, where Howie is the king. Coming soon to Netflix: Goop. We can't believe it either. And since it was just Valentine's Day, we discuss some special gifts you could get for your loved ones.
