Episode Overview

Timestamps: 00:09 – 04:22

  Tyler and Ryan share highlights from their hunting trip, expressing how, despite being dog-tired, sleep was hard to come by after returning—a typical aftermath for a weekend away with the boys.

• Small Town Bar Adventures:

  • Tyler panics over what he thinks is a $500 bar tab for 15 people, only to find it’s a mere $43:

    “I was looking at the cash in my hand…she comes back, she’s like, ‘Alright, here it is, $43.’ I was like, oh my God.” — Tyler (01:21)

  • Unique Bar Features:
    The group laughs about an indoor archery setup, furnace stuck at 95°F, and just how “Midwest” these quirks are:

    “Somebody’s in the bathroom, steps out and gets an arrow to the knee.” — Myles (03:47)

  “...stood in the snowbank and it felt unbelievable.” — Ryan (06:12)

• The Group’s Reaction:
  The gang oscillates between roasting, concern, and reluctant admiration for Ryan’s dedication to solving his 'swollen feet' problem:

  “You know what, I do think it is insane what you did. I genuinely can’t think of a better alternative.” — Myles (07:32)

  The boys crowdsource health advice, speculate about gout, and humorously lament the typical aversion to seeing an actual doctor.

3. Prize Picks NFL Segment

Timestamps: 11:41 – 15:19
(Skip this if not interested in the brief sports betting and NFL pick banter; tone stays comedic)

4. Group Therapy: The Midwest “Definitely Don’t Care” List

Timestamps: 15:20 – 29:02

A rapid-fire, deadpan segment where the guys riff on the many things they “definitely don’t care about”—each a not-so-subtle vent of genuine adult annoyances and disappointments, including:

• Dad/Child Relationship Humor:

  “I definitely don’t care that [my son] prefers my wife over me…definitely don’t care about that.” — Tyler (24:46)

  • “Missing the playoffs in fantasy football”
  • “Getting gray hairs”
  • “Being picked last in sports”

  “I definitely don’t care when I tell my wife something and she doesn’t believe me, so she looks it up and I was right.” — Tyler (27:49)

• Deadpan Comedy:
  The running joke is that to admit they do care would mean “handing in your man card.”

5. Gray Hairs and Aging: The Vulnerability of Midwest Masculinity

Timestamps: 29:39 – 33:41

• Early Gray Hairs Examined:
  The guys openly talk gray hair, including the shocking news that one of them has “grape hues” (gray pubic hairs):

  “That means probably gray ass hairs on the table.” — Tyler (32:07)

• They wonder aloud whether testosterone affects hair color, leading to epic Google fumbling and more roasting about who'd be the first to dye their hair.

6. Holiday Parties from Hell: The Ultimate Worst-Case Christmas Bash

Timestamps: 42:05 – 55:14

• Fantasy: Designing the Most Awful Holiday Party
  Jared prompts the crew to invent the “worst possible Christmas party,” leading to this horror show:
  • It's a MLM (think Mary Kay) party
  • You’re forced to wear white or pink, get kicked in the nuts by a human-pink nutcracker, endure caroling, and must buy/sign up for products to leave
  • No booze, just leaky fruit punch cups
  • Endless caroling restarts if anyone just mouths the words
  • Secret Santa surprises, forced karaoke, and MLM-pitching husbands abound
  • Even the exit is booby-trapped by promotional emails and more MLM recruiting

  “Once you’re in, you can’t leave. No reentry, so no one can leave.” — Ryan (54:01) "If there's 100 people there, 80 have to do [the Saran Wrap oven-mitt gift gag]." — Tyler (49:19)

Timestamps: 55:15 – 62:46

• Vests: Blue Collar or White Collar?
  The group decides vest status comes down to fabric: leather/canvas = blue collar; puffy polyester = white collar.
  North Face “soft shell” vests are declared the “desk job at a blue collar company” uniform.

• Miles's Dream Burger Build
  Miles requests an absurd “58-patty burger,” each layer with a different cheese. The group jokes about the logistics:

  “If you undercook or overcook one, you have to start all over…” — Tyler (58:50)

8. If the Podcast Hosts Ran Santa’s Workshop

Timestamps: 62:53 – 74:39

  • Jared is head of Christmas cheer (& music),
  • Ryan manages gathering and delivery,
  • Miles is chief tickler for “Tickle Me Elmo” QA.

  “The Santa Claus you see today was Coca Cola's version of Saint Nick.” — Tyler (71:17)

9. Listener Q&A and Fun Facts

Timestamps: 74:39 – 76:55

• Fun Fact Drop:
  The gang marvels at the true story of a Canadian sniper hitting a target 2.2 miles away using elaborate calculations, joking about the sheer absurdity of it all.

10. Would You Rather: Take a Hit from Mike Tyson or Ray Lewis?

Timestamps: 77:39 – 83:06

• The group universally picks being tackled by Ray Lewis over a punch from prime Mike Tyson—brain damage vs. just getting the wind knocked out!

  “Mike Tyson took dude’s heads off… that’s why I think I’m leaning towards Ray Lewis.” — Tyler (79:00)

• Tyler claims he’s more athletic than Eli Manning is now (queue ribbing and incredulity).

• “The worst thing is an indecisive child when it comes to lunch.” — Miles (26:56)
