The Nose Knows Sharks
Jan 2501:35:12Tap to summarizeSend a textThe Squad unites this week for a fun weekly chats with our friends around the world. Steven is overly aggressive immediately which seems to rub off on the Swan. Swan brings us the crime report as written by our resource on the, "ground," Angela Tripsalot. This one is super interesting but of course, the Squad makes fun of tragedy. That's how you get through it. Gallows humor baby! This is a report a case out of Virginia that involves accusations that a former IRS agent conspired with his au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, to murder his wife, Christine Banfield, and Joseph Ryan on February 24, 2023. Swan was also instructed to work on her broadcast journalist voice. Do you think she was successful? The Dark Lord of Browntown brings us interesting information about a movie about the Mothman that was never released. Was the mafia to blame. Sorry, what mafia???? Mothman: The Film That Never Was is a documentary detailing the chaotic production of a 1997 independent horror film directed by Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel. Shot in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, the original movie was abandoned due to funding loss, bizarre production hurdles, and, as explored in the documentary, alleged threats from local mafia figures. The Beaveman brings us this weeks, "Not So Grand Rounds." Hansen's disease, otherwise known throughout the ages as Leprosy. Let's end the stigma, seek compassion, provide care, and not have intercourse with Armadillos! We're talking to you Florida. And finally, the Swan brings us her attempt at jokes. We know you all look forward to that every week. Throughout the episode, the Beaveman recites the iconic monologue from Quint in the movie Jaws. Probably going to hear some form of that regularly from now on. Thank you to our listener's throughout the world. Your support means everything to us. We hope our podcast helps you get away from the BS for at least an hour or so every week. Support the show

Jan 1101:37:40Tap to summarizeSend a textIt's another great episode. Bringing comedy to the world while it burns around you. Gotta do your part to make people smile. This week Steven whines about his pathetic comedy career. Stop doing bringer shows! This isn't 1986. Pay your comedians you worthless comedy club. The Beaveman talks about being sleepy. Stay tuned for that one man show. This weeks POS is brought to you by the Swan. Stay tuned for updates from our crime reporter Angela Tripsalot. She's going to have to be on the case now since Swan provided the most minimal of information. Drippy Steve talks about Alien species like he is reading a book report he wrote just before class. How is this potato taking podcasting seriously?Thankfully the Beavman delivers with his presentation about the Fiery Serpent of Medina, the mythology or stories behind the Guinea worm throughout history. Swan brings us home with dumb jokes with the Swan. She's getting better, but none of us want to hear the parrot joke ever again. Oh, and Steven is apparently a chick magnet. We have no idea why.

Social Media Fibbing
Aug 3101:10:35Tap to summarizeSend us a textThe beautiful Swan joins the Beaveman on this episode and they talk about the lies we tell on social media. They don't personally tell them, they think, but maybe all of us are guilty at some point in time.

Laws Are Dumb, but The IRS Is Cool
Aug 3101:25:07Tap to summarizeSend us a textThere are a lot of dumb laws out there. Hope you don't break any. The last thing you would want to do is get thrown into a Georgia jail for eating fried chicken with a fork instead of your fingers. We also learned that Doc not only doesn't believe statistics (as discussed on multiple episodes) he also doesn't believe in any definition he does not agree with. He aspires to be King of America. I don't know why he would stop there. Enjoy!Support the show
