We are finally doing it! We have been teasing y’all for years about favorite blenders, ice creams, sock brands, and all that nonsense in our intro. Well, today is the day we finally deliver and discuss our Top 5 favorite Roller Coasters. Wait a minute, that actually doesn’t sound that interesting. How about this, let’s expand it. Today we are discussing our Top 5 Amusement Park Rides. We did not share our lists with each other and are by no means experts in said category. So sit back, relax, keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times, and enjoy the show.

Guys, it’s been a while since we had a good sequel or update episode. A few years ago, we put together a list called "Top 5 Things Worth the Splurge." It was uploaded on June 4th, 2023, and I gotta say: I’ve made some fairly wise investments since then, and I know you guys have as well. We were totally different guys three years ago. So today we’re updating our lists and calling this one “Top 5 Things Worth The Splurge 2: 2 Worth 2 Splurge”. These are things that cost a pretty nickel, but to us were totally worth it. As always, we did not discuss our lists with each other, and by no means are we experts in this or anything else. We are not financial advisors, and we are not in a position to tell you how to spend your money. We are just a few dudes who like to discuss nonsense.

Are you guys ready for no longer topical political cold opens? Are you ready for characters that get less and less funny each time you see them until you question if they were even funny to begin with? Are you ready to yell about how SNL is no longer funny and was only good between the time you were 18-26 years old? Today we will be discussing our Top 5 SNL skits. To enhance discussion, we did not share our lists with each other, nor are we experts in said categories. We are just a few dudes who like talking nonsense.

Long time no see. We decided to get the band back together for 2026. And in honor of Groundhog Day, we have a fun one. First, some backstory: since Zach is quite incompetent, he, for the longest time, thought that the fabled day was always called “Groundhog’s Day.” So you could imagine the utter embarrassment when his friends laughed in his face at his repulsing error. Whatever, shit happens. What other weird ass things have we, or someone we know, said incorrectly and never really thought anything about it? So today we will be discussing our Top 5 Mispronunciations. To enhance discussion, we did not share our lists with each other, nor are we experts in said categories. We are just a few dudes who like talking nonsense.

We are back, baby! It’s Spooky Season yet again so we are here to discuss all things that go bump in the night. Halloween is a favorite holiday of ours. All the candy, snacks, costumes, and movies. Even though there is plenty of fun to be had, Halloween is also about the scares. Things that make your skin crawl or your blood curdle. Real scary shit, y’all. So today we will be discussing our Top 5 Scary Moments. We didn’t share our lists with each other nor are we experts in said category. We are just a bunch of dudes who like to talk nonsense.

It is increasingly hard to eat healthy in today’s modern society. With expanded work hours and the constant feeling of remaining busy, it sure is nice to be able to scarf down 6 Jack in the Box Tacos, a large plate of onion rings, and wash it all down with a Sprite Remix. Alas, I for one can say that I used to eat this way but have since changed as I ditched the junk for healthier options. But I am curious. What other terrible stuff did I eat or maybe even still eat now? That is what we will be discussing on today’s episode. Our Top 5 Unhealthiest Foods We Used to Eat or Maybe Still Eat Now. To enhance discussion, we did not share our choices. We are by no means experts in said category. We are just a few dudes who like food.
