Happy New Year!

We jump into the Wordhole with Tetralogy, and we devolve quickly thanks to Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.

In this episode:

• We discuss how late is too late to wish someone a happy new year, or a happy other holiday
• we get our 2024 predictions out into the universe
• it’s the first trip to the sports desk with D-Low
• We find the origin story of “giving him the business”
• Did we encourage Nabisco to finally right the wrong with Oreogate?

Unfortunately, we didn’t have the time to dedicate to slang terms in the episode since it ran too long. Maybe we’ll give it out as a special edition later.

Like us, love us, or hate us…we are proof that there is a better podcast!

In this week's episode, we'll go back into the  archives.

It starts off rough...but hey, we’ve been on vacation a while.

Our Wordhole of the day is: Amalgamation (noun): the action, process, or result of combining or uniting.

Today’s better recommendation: DeeLow has a life decision. Does he go with a cast iron grill pan or does he go with carbon steel? We say cast iron. What say you?

Side quest: is it “pot shot”, or “pop shot”?

Top 5: Rock & roll (and other genre) songs which pay tribute to America.

The team takes a Fourth of July quiz. You may do better than we did.

Strap in. It's another long episode.

Today’s word of the day: salubrious.

Let’s talk about stress, self care, and mental health, coping mechanisms, and some funny stuff, too.

DeeLow finds a Cutlass in pieces in his garage, Sarah finds inspiration after a trip to Hawaii, the InternNet finds solace in Five Finger Death Punch, and Tony finds himself writing this podcast episode 3 hours before it’s recorded.

Are You Not Entertained? DeeLow discussed “The Kids in the Hall” on Amazon, and “The Boys” and “Kids in the Hall” lack of warning of pork & beans. Also, Dave Foley, if you’re listening, we cheers you for episode 3 of the latest season.

We found a leftover from last week’s show, so we decided to taste test Pringles Chili & Lime crisps. Was it good? Was it not? Stick around!

Today’s Wordhole word of the day: Vehement: (adj.) showing strong feeling; forceful, passionate, or intense.

DeeLow has a relationship to our better recommendation of Matthew McConaughey’s “Greenlights”. Maybe it’s a relationship to Matthew himself, or maybe it’s some sort of Oedipus complex.

Matthew preaches “one in a row” to become victorious. Tony practices this preach on a bag of Doritos.

Do you have phrases, sayings, or affirmations that you use in your life?

In the spirit of phrases, sayings, or affirmations, we channel our own “Deep Thoughts.”

DeeLow’s running the soundboard today. Tony’s totally at the bottom of his game. Sarah is keeping her cool with the unprofessional atmosphere.

Our Wordhole word of the day: admonish.

Our Better Recommendation: The human brain can understand 400 words a minute, but the average person can speak around 150 words. Try to listen to a podcast at 1.5 speed. We'll do it for you.

We play two rounds of Master Debater.
Round 1: The best way to rid Earth of trash is to put it on a spaceship and send it directly into the sun.
Round 2: Debate the validity of voicemail.

Tony continues to run the show into the ground. DeeLow gets our content match out of the way with Mista Tung Twista, Tony adds to it with Busta Rhymes, and pumps it up with Snow. Then we do some tongue twisters of our own.

Then we do some palindromes. Why? Why not?

Finally, we pay a visit to John Moschitta, Jr., the MicroMachines guy. At 1.5 speed.

Also, if you’re a podcaster and you want to get the word out on your show, send us your promo and we’ll put it on!

Our Wordhole word of the day: sagacious.

Our Better Recommendation: Flight Attendant (HBO/Max), Russian Doll (Netflix)

An even better recommendation: the new Kids in the Hall - child eyes, beware. Parents only. Seriously.

We revisit classic 90s joints and 90s stereotypes, Saved by the Bell, Zach Morris is Trash on YouTube/Funny or Die.

Have you been selected for jury duty? Sarah was. DeeLow and Tony recount their time in jury duty.

TikTok went wild with a certain animal being affected by an insect. You probably know where we’re going with this anyway, and it’s worth it.

“Tell Me Something Good” - so, what’s good?

We also are going to be a special guest with the wonderful Ta2Squid Podcast!

Our Wordhole word of the day: mellifluous.

We recap a Letterman Top Ten that DeeLow put together from YouTube, which inspired today’s Wordhole.

There is a better discussion: is the world heading toward “Idiocracy”? Some aspects in the movie show parallels to real life.

DeeLow shows his age by referring to “the young folks.”

We celebrate our content strike with planetary damage and pollution. We also reveal a Japanese trivia game show akin to Jackass, AFV, and Idiocracy’s “Ow! My Balls!” on the Violence Channel.

We also celebrate CNN’s impressively cringy cut to a commercial while keeping their top story visible during the break.

We also have a special Mother’s Day trivia game. Can you guess the answers before we do?

Strap in. It’s gonna be a long episode.

Today’s Wordhole word of the day is not a word, but a Phrasehole: “To be interesting, be interested.” - Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Our Better Recommendation: French press coffee! Not selling anything, but Tony’s experience with coffee has been elevated from drip coffee to Keurig, and now he’s getting into French press. So, Sarah and DeeLow get put through the wringer in a blind taste test to find out which coffee is which, how do they rank, and what do they think of them?

We find ways to get in contact with you. A delivery method in particular is one Amazon can’t touch.

What do you get when you play songs at a different speed? TikToker @thepocketqueen helps us go down that rabbit hole.

Top Five - Comedy isn’t as easy as we think, and in Tony’s mind, it’s underrated. We discuss our top five comedies. What are your top five?

Let us know what you think of the show on Apple Podcasts, Google, YouTube, and other places where you may rate and comment, and in return you'll get stickers! Thanks for listening!

We get a special intro from the one and only David Letterman!

We’ve got a lot to check out as we turn 50, including feet, mispronounced words, and to CHECK YO CREDIT!

What do you do if your identity is stolen?

We find out what Florida Man was doing on our birthdays 15 years ago, because 50 = 15. We digress into shitty movies: The Cleaner, The Call, The Bubble, and The Negotiator. Are we not entertained? We are not entertained.

We take a look at some footage unearthed about 50 years ago. It’s Prince!

Happy (belated) Easter! Sarah brought back some candies from Germany to enjoy. We also talk about easter egg hunts for kids, adults, and…dogs?
