Shenanigans Episode 33: It's Like Deja-Vu All Over Again

This week hilarity ensues right from the start when Craig does his intro...and then forgets to intorduce the gang. Rich ad libs it for us. Then it's on to a very special church message from a congregation in Surfer's Paradise. Beware of eating undercooked seafood; you may be in for a big surprise. Astronauts must pee on the bus wheels on their way to the launch pad. Apparently it helps them go 'round and 'round. We debate whether some modern art is actually pretty crappy. And the hottest grandmother is 36!?!?!?!

 

Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden, and Howie

Shenanigans Episode 32: 101 New Ways to Prepare Eggplant

We start off with some Father's Day wishes and the general disdain for the word "haberdashery." Scientists believe that people have a second brain in your butt, and it actually may be your first brain. We agree that explains a lot of people we all know. Some guy in China, trying to jumpstart that second brain, has a very interesting way to stimulate it. If you wrote your own obituary, what would you put into it? We enjoy the Stanley Cup celebrations by Ovechkin and some fans in the stands. There's another poop-flinging incident this time in a road rage incident. The Website of the Week is an amazing site. You'll have to check it out.

Shenanigans Episode 31: Something Fishy This Way Comes

Charlie really made it to the show this week, but leaves less than three minutes into the recording. Why? So he can pick up Bret. For some reason he left his phone behind which Rich immediately tries to break into...to no avail. We just learned that Howie got lost on the Oregon Trail in Medina, and it's a good thing he didn't go to Australia instead. He would cease to exist! The team questions what makes Jesus too Catholic for Baptists in South Carolina. A Brazilian woman is given a new body part by melding with a fish. This one is probably NSFW.

Shenanigans Episode 30: We Pull Out All The Stops

We start off this week's Shenanigans a little off the plan of attack. Have you ever gone to a big box store and messed with the associates? We have, and it was fun. Las Vegas was set to break the record for a big event, but the hosting hotel pulled out. It's another week and another baking conspiracy. When we were seniors in high school, we played pranks at the end of the school year. Thankfully, we didn't have the internet when we were playing those pranks. Or the internet at all when we were younger. It would have been a lot of trouble.

Shenanigans Episode 29: Those Aren't Pennies From Heaven

Most of our technical difficulties have passed. There are some tiny hiccups at the very beginning, but it all works out wonderfully. This week, we talk about weird neck tattoos and Play-Doh perfume. This is an official warning to not eat Rich's cupcakes. There are new, magic diapers that will text you when your baby soils them. There is a nudist colony gone awry in Australia. The Gap has recognized the independence of Taiwan and Southern Tibet from China with their new t-shirts. Rich and Walden each have very odd places to keep their spare change.

Shenanigans Episode 28: The Saga of the Broken Crankshaft

Do your kids make adorable drawings, but they're just filling up all sides of your fridge Why not get them tattooed permanently on your body? Speaking of your kids, do they get an allowance, and how much do they get a month? A girl in Beverly Hills says her monthly allowance of $1000 makes her feel like a peasant. Apparently, when you indulge your children like that, they grow up to be 37 year old "adults" who destroy cars because they remind him of what him of bullies from two decades prior. Finally, something great from the world of science. We will soon be able to shoot lasers from our eyes. Frickin' lasers!! Flat earthers are at it again with new hypotheses. Then Rich finds the greatest article ever, and we are grateful he was slightly bored for this episode. Wait until you hear it.

Shenanigans Episode 27: Yes Uranus Smells Like Farts -- It's a Gas Giant

This week's episode is missing Howie, and we make sure to let him know. We want to ask him what makes cookies kosher. We have Walden join us for his first show. Rich has an idea how it works. Rich also let us know that the Simpsons became the longest running scripted television show, and George summed up all the episodes in two sentences. Scientists have proven what we've always known--Uranus smells like farts. Seems like that was something they didn't really need to study. Closer to home, Howe Cavens are hosting a naked spelunking tour. The flatearthers are defying gravity, saying that gravity doesn't exist. Instead, they claim the earth is moving upwards, which keeps us stuck to the ground. Oh...those poor people in Australia.

Shenanigans Episode 26: It Ain't the End of the World. It's the Crapture!

If you're listening to this after April 23rd, you missed the End of the World...again. Never fear, the Biblical prognosticators were wrong. But as Rich says, they only need to be right once. Just not this time. Christian metal band, Stryper, is in the news because Walmart won't sell their latest album. Craig said a missing comma would solve all their woes. Almost every kid swears, even accidentally. Craig and Howie tell us of a couple of instances where the kids dropped F-bombs. It's hard not to laugh when it happens. I know you've been there. Howie tells us the correct way to poop, and annoying the telemarketing scammers is the greatest thing since sliced ketchup.

Shenanigans Episode 25: Attack of the Vibrating Pigeon Drones

This week, I wasn't sure how the show went. After I listened to it again, it was prett darn funny, even if the end of the world is scheduled to start around the time we record Episode 26. At least that is the revised date from the revised date from the revised date. And which version of the Bible are they using to determine the end of the world? Is it the Bibizzle? We can only hope. Police in Argentina claim that mice ate 1,200 pounds of seized marijuana........sure....In our Public Service Announcement of the Week, we implore you adults to be more careful when playing with your toys. What exactly is the average airspeed velocity of a full bag of cocaine? Squirrels need our love, too, and we learn that pepperoni and seagulls don't mix.

Shenanigans Episode 24: Time Traveling With Sexy Gronk

This week, the biys start off with a little seriousness as they talk a little about the Humboldt tragedy. But, they quickly move on to the rapid influx of time travelers in the news lately, and they debate whether time travel is even possible. Rich is a nonbeliever in time travel, while Howie and Craig do believe. A man caught having an affair tries to pass off the woman he's cheating with as a sex robot, and she plays along! And for the Amazon Product of the Day, Gronk erotica. No, you read that right. Someone wrote Gronk erotica. The reviews are hilarious, maybe even funnier than the idea that someone wrote Gronk erotica.
