The Boys accidentally time-travel to fuedal Europe where they meet some peasants and save a witch from burning at the stake (kinda). Then they catch up with Dave's recent experiences in a shelter-rehab, in which he tore his ACL going up for a rebound in a recreational basketball game. After that, they talk NBA playoffs, their deepest physical insecurities, the insane vissitudes and challenges of addiction, grappling with dead dream...

An asteroid screams towards Earth as the boys gather remotely to discuss trivialities: times they were spooked, internet/phone addiction, the morals of meat in Dave's mouth, and the stupidity of going to NYC to watch the ball drop and fill your adult diaper to the absolute brim on New Years Eve. Then they take your emails and give you life advice about monogamous marriage, losing the love of your life to another person, and maturi...

In this fifth edition of our All Too Human interview series, Breht and Dave welcome Joey into the Shoeless Shed to have an honest conversation about his struggles with personal tragedy, repressed grief, and subsequent alcoholism.

With these All Too Human interviews, we aim to highlight and destigmatize the mental health and addiction struggles of regular working class people in hopes that we can provide insight into this type of h...

Breht listens to, reflects on, and critically engages with a public lecture by the late philosopher Michael Sugrue entitled "Nietzsche and the Death of God". He discusses the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, the politics of modern day Nietzscheans, the death of god and consumer capitalism as a form a nihilism, the ongoing nature of human civilizational and spiritual evolution, the biography of Nietzsche, what the next step of hum...

Dave is out of rehab, so the boys get together to talk about his wild experiences over the holiday in which he haunted the streets of Omaha and Lincoln bouncing between rehabs, psych wards, Walgreens medicine aisles, and respite centers. Thankfully, at the end of the chaos, he felt a deep internal shift that many in recovery refer to as "being sick and tired of being sick and tired", and it gave him renewed energy and vigor on his ...

The boys read poems, fight for Free Speech, ponder BLASTING GEAR, and Sacrifice EVERYTHING for your freedoms. Then they talk about Abe Lincoln's hardcore depression, Breht's book idea (he won't write it), why you should read more books, recovery from mental illness, David's ...

Breht dies and has a near-death experience, Dave struggles with derealization (and busting), then the boys talk politics and reflect on the election. After that, they discuss types of people they'd like to purge the planet of and different types of human intelligence, then Breht's son joins the show to reveal the TRUE Breht, and it ain't pretty... After that, the boys stare death in the face and are wiped off the face of the planet...

The Boys are Back in Town (they never left)! Dave gets a new job trafficking people (or helping people who have been trafficked? I'm not sure), Breht talks about his multiple, severe traumatic head injuries (it's not good, folks), and Julian sits in the corner of the Shoeless Shed and shakes his perfectly healthy head disapprovingly for three hours straight... Also, the boys answer your emails and give you life advice.
