S4 E7: Goose Wars: When Wildlife Fights Back

Explicit content warning

05/16/25 • 67 min

A simple encounter with an aggressive goose at a collision center parking lot spirals into the workplace conspiracy theory of the year. When our host defends himself with a plastic car part, he has no idea he's starting what his coworkers will soon dub a wildlife vendetta. The next day, bees mysteriously appear at the workplace, followed by a hawk the day after. Is nature targeting him, or is there a mole amongst the humans feeding information to the animals?
Between fits of laughter, we journey through gaming memories, from offering Kingdom Hearts advice to a first-time player to recounting epic betrayals in Among Us. One host describes successfully gaslighting an entire lobby after an obvious in-game murder, while another shares the terror of being hunted by friends in horror games. These shared gaming experiences showcase the friendship and rivalry that defines our group dynamic.
The conversation takes a revealing turn when we discover how much money we've collectively spent on Steam games over the years. With individual totals ranging from $3,749 to a staggering $11,641, we confront the uncomfortable reality that most of these games remain unplayed. This leads to reflections on childhood economics, including nostalgic discussions of "poor kid foods" like spaghetti with bread and butter that many of us grew up eating.
Whether you're interested in workplace humor, gaming stories, or nostalgic conversations about growing up, this episode delivers equal parts laughter and relatability. Have you ever wondered if the local wildlife might be plotting against you? After listening to this episode, you might start paying closer attention to those geese in the parking lot.

S4 E6: Toes Out, Phones Down: We Almost Made a Feet Finder Account

Send us a text

What began as a cigarette intervention quickly spiraled into one of our wildest episodes yet. When we calculated that Murky spends over $14,500 annually on cigarettes, we hatched a plan to release his phone number one digit at a time until he cuts back—but that was just the beginning of our journey down the rabbit hole.
The conversation takes a sharp turn when we stumble upon Feet Finder, an online marketplace where people sell photos of their feet to fetishists. What starts as a joke quickly becomes a genuine exploration of this unusual economy. We scroll through dozens of niche categories, from "smelly feet" to "toe jam," and discover that some sellers claim to make $800 in just their first two months. Before we know it, we're making accounts and comparing seller strategies, questioning whether this might be the side hustle none of us knew we needed.
Just when you think the episode couldn't get more unpredictable, we transform into an impromptu game show called "Game Breaker." The twist? Players must answer personal questions about the host without knowing the secret rule that determines correct answers. As the game progresses, personal revelations emerge—including our host's paralyzing fear of up escalators (stemming from witnessing an elderly woman perpetually tumbling as a child) and a traumatic encounter with stingrays that left lasting psychological scars.
Whether you're fascinated by unconventional online economies, enjoy watching friends figure out hidden game rules in real-time, or simply want to hear grown adults discuss their deepest fears while making inappropriate jokes, this episode delivers on all fronts. By the end, you'll understand why escalators, stingrays, and foot photography will never be the same for any of us.

S4 E8: Bathroom Nightmares

How does a "simple weekend project" transform into a multi-day nightmare? Zeno takes us on a wild journey through his recent bathroom renovation disaster that should have been completed in one weekend but stretched into an odyssey of mishaps, miscalculations, and moments of pure frustration.
The saga begins with confidence and optimism as Xeno's girlfriend Krista suggests they simply replace the shower surround and refinish the tub - a project she assures him will take just two days at most. But reality quickly sets in when they discover the tub refinishing product requires a full 72 hours to cure (not 24 as initially thought), meaning no access to the only shower in the house for days. The challenges multiply with each step: ill-fitting shower surrounds, broken paint rollers, defective caulk guns secretly leaking from the back, and last-minute plumbing issues requiring emergency hardware store visits minutes before closing time.
Beyond the renovation chaos, the guys take listeners down an unexpected rabbit hole discussing some of the most bizarre self-published books ever discovered online. From outrageous titles to questionable content, this tangent provides much-needed comic relief following the home improvement saga. The conversation showcases the podcast's trademark ability to seamlessly blend personal stories with unexpected discoveries that leave everyone laughing.
Whether you're contemplating your own DIY project or just enjoy tales of plans gone hilariously awry, this episode serves as both entertainment and a cautionary tale. Remember: sometimes the best renovations are the ones you hire professionals to handle! Have you experienced your own home improvement disaster? Share your story with us and join the conversation!
