Shenanigans Episode 20: I'll Bet You $20 That Rhode Island Won't Approve Of This

This week, Howie's daughter tells Craig he's full of shit. For real. Who remembers the Thundercats? We can't believe it's over 30 years old. Rhode Island now wants to block websites in your own home unless you pay them $20 for the privilege. If you live anywhere on the Planet Earth, watch out for falling, Chinese space stations. Apparently they're not as space-worthy as advertised on Amazon. If you're not yet prepared for the Apocalypse, Costco can help. And if you're an extreme couponer like Rich, you can save even more money that you won't be able to use after the world ends. Why do we wear pants, and should we ever wear courdoroy?? Some conspriacy theories about our favorite movies comes up. Are Danny and Sandy actually dead, and the Grease movie is the dying vision of a teenager? Yabba-dabba, friend.

 

Cast: Craig, Rich, Howie, Charlie's Ghost of Christmas Future

 

Running Time: Approximately 99 minutes.

 

Shenanigans Episode 19: Is This a Family Reunion or a Speed Dating Site?

The boys are back. We talk about the world's largest family tree. It has 13 million people and tells us when cousins stopped having sex with each other. Mailmen in Florida don't want to deliver packages to a nudist colony, mostly because of the packages. Rich and Howie go off the Shenanigans rail by talking about serious things. Fortunately, we get back to the normal programming. Why is breastfeeding so taboo, but we have no issue with low-cut shirts? Have we had enough of crazy people on airplanes? When is it okay to strip on a flight? Can I bring my emotional support beer(s)? All Howie can say is that Chinese condoms make him feel better about himself. Also, if you're diving in Minnesota lakes, watch out for Jason Voorhees.

 

Cast: Rich, Howie, Craig

 

Running Time: Approximately 110 minutes

 

Shenanigans Episode 18: I Am the Great Cornholio

This week marks the triumphant return of George to the cast! After discussing the driving situation in the area, we move right into the fun moments. Have you ever heard of the game "Cornhole?" We wondered who came up with that name, and it became the running theme throughout the show. China is trying to stop strippers from performing at funerals, and the man with the largest manhood in the world is looking for a new job opportunity. And we're now trying to find out who the man in charge of exorcisms for the Buffalo diocese is. If anyone knows, let us know.

 

Cast: Craig, George, Rich, Howie, and Charlie

 

Running time: Approximately 97 minutes

 

Niagara Falls PowerHawks vs Southern Tier Xpress 02-23-2018

The Southern Tier Xpress took control of the game early and defeated the Niagara Falls PowerHawks 7-2 in action Friday evening at the Hyde Park Ice Pavilion. This podcast is a bit more Shenanigans and less hockey than normal. We got the old team back together for our final podcast for the hockey team. Yes, it was Howie calling most of the game, with George, Craig, and Scott filling in with some color.

Shenanigans Episode 17: Can Howie Measure Up to David?

In this week's episode, we give a quick eulogy to the Balavan. Then it's on to, well, Shenanigans. Howie inadertantly gives us the funniest moment of the night at the expense of himself. We're also on the lookout for rogue Amazon packages. If you get one of these packages, let us know. Supposedly, it's happening all over the place.

 

Cast: Craig, Rich, Howie, Charlie, and David

Shenanigans Episode 16: Bye Bye Balavan - Our Valentine Crush

In this episode, we're really all over the place. With just Howie, Rich, and Craig, there's a lot of pop culture reference. We revisit the flatearther who was trying to prove his theories by sending a rocket into the atmosphlat, sex doll brothels, and airlines who are asking customers to flush their emotional support animals instead of bringing them on the plane. At the end of the episode, there's a big surprise for Howie as his van was destroyed in a hit and run accident while parked in front of the house.

 

Cast: Rich, Howie, and Craig

Shenanigans Episode 15: History of the World Part Four: Springtime for Gronk

This episode goes almost twice as long as our normal shows. We talk a lot about the Super Bowl, the commercials, and of course, Rob Gronkowski. Charlie left early and all hell broke loose with Howie leading the Mel Brooks charge into film history. We also started a fake rumor about the riots in Philly after the Super Bowl. Can you pick it out?? Howie has a new interest in Girl Scout cookies, too, while Rich tells us why he loves McDonald's french fries.
