Reed also shares the life lesson he learned this week: if you complain enough, sometimes you actually get what you want. Reed says he also saved the company from a phishing email, Eddie is trying to shut down the word “whimsy” becoming the word of the year just 28 days into 2026, and Reed insists that everyone should start referring to him as whimsy. They get into misheard song lyrics that you can never unhear, including a line in Under Pressure that absolutely breaks Eddie.

It’s Hot Take Tuesday and Reed says it should be illegal to carry out prolonged two person conversations in a group chat while proudly defending his completely full voicemail box because if it’s important you should just text him. They debate unexpected calls, brushing your tongue, the correct mouthwash order, and Reed’s fear of damaging his luxury bones. Plus minor inconveniences that ruin your entire day, adding a zero to anything in your life, free soloing skyscrapers, and whether secretly living in a mall for five years is genius or completely unhinged.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 26th. Reed is a starving artist and he’s blaming Eddie for it after an 8:15AM phone call turned into Eddie calling Reed’s girlfriend, which somehow led to Reed not getting a lunch. Yes, ants on a log are involved. The drama continues with a conspiracy that’s breaking Reed’s brain about the Lamb Chop song and whether we’re all living in a simulation. Eddie struggles through the popularity game when brands like NASA, Marvel, and Gucci humble him in real time. There’s a dumb criminal who sold his own car eight times, a full breakdown of things flight attendants secretly judge you for, Reed wondering if he’s allergic to cold weather, the least sexy Super Bowl ever, and Walmart introduces scan and go which has Eddie declaring that this is the future he wanted. It’s chaotic, it’s petty, and Reed is still hungry.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 23rd. It was so cold that every single break started with “it’s cold” and somehow it never stopped being the topic. Reed swears cops are less likely to pull you over in freezing temps while Eddie admits he only goes nine over, not ten. Eddie attempts to crack Reed’s password live on the air, Reed struggles through his girlfriend’s Top 5 favorite movies, and a Delaware man becomes Dumb Criminal of the Day after calling police to get his stuff back from a car he stole.

Stay warm.

Reed may or may not be a changed man after proudly unpacking ants on a log made by his girlfriend. Experts are warning about exploding trees in the extreme cold, and Eddie is not convinced. A psychic predicts a woman’s phone will be stolen… and then somehow it is. Is that talent or just a really dumb criminal?

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 21st. Reed starts the show singing that viral Dr Pepper TikTok song that’s been stuck in his head, and  that turns into a conversation about wanting to get paid for something forever. It’s National Hugging Day so they talk hugs, handshakes, and whether anyone actually knows how to greet each other anymore. Then things shift into roasting, where they claim their generation was built different. Reed asks  for your best lowkey put downs like “who’s this clown.” The texts are ruthless. Plus a guy completely melts down during a Zoom court hearing in Dumb Criminal of the Day, Eddie admits his favorite emoji is a thumbs up, moms are taking over dating apps, GameStop is closing with Eddie’s $1,800 hanging in the balance, and it’s so cold this weekend the trees might explode.

Reed defends Metallica being right about Napster, apologizes to AI in case it takes over someday, questions a conspiracy about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds, reacts to a 70 year old man getting hit by a car in his apartment for the fifth time, and somehow it all still feels educational and completely ridiculous at the same time.

The Bears lost in overtime but Eddie swears he’s totally fine and Reed absolutely does not buy it, even after Eddie says it was a fun game and his son watching the whole thing helped soften the blow. Reed tries to cheer him up with a Top 5 Sports Cities list that turns into a full judge’s ruling, question whether Long John Silver’s is a money laundering scheme, and debate whether anyone can just add money to someone’s prison commissary. Reed shares a wild dream about a glowing red house telling him he has to die, we get into break up foods and bourbon and pizza therapy, talk aliens potentially crashing the economy, cover a nativity scene Dumb Criminal inspired by Home Alone, and argue about whether Jackass being back is actually exciting if it's just using old footage.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 15th. Reed kicks off the show by generously giving Eddie the choice of topic… which immediately turns into Eddie calling him out for taking tomorrow off with basically no warning so he can see Back to the Future The Musical. Reed insists he’s taking the high road. Eddie insists that is not what the high road means. From there it’s Illuminati theories, a very questionable website redirect to the NSA, and Reed’s bold plan to fix society by eliminating the bagel hole forever. Eddie tests Reed on the Top 5 songs on KISS FM and he almost nails it but completely blanks on number one. Normal or Nope gets discusses drying off in the shower, putting pants on sitting down, and raccoon style hand drying.

The guys swap the lies parents tell their kids, from glowing orange eyes to pets “moving to Florida,” and debate whether you really lose skills if you don’t use them, including algebra, chess, cardiovascular surgery, and landing a plane. There’s an update on the monkeys running loose in St. Louis that now apparently have a goat, a discussion about new drinking guidelines and invented meals like linner, and a very real one million dollar moon hotel that may or may not be a scam. At some point it turns existential about names and whether a snake could eat itself. They swear they’re not crazy, they’re just vocalizing your thoughts for you.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 13th. It’s 40 degrees and Reed is emotionally preparing to bring back the girlfriend approved jorts while Eddie proudly defends his brand new “kind of toe” water shoes for Mexico, launching an unexpected fashion war. On Hot Take Tuesday, a texter boldly claims there are only three Star Wars movies, the original trilogy, which sends Eddie into a passionate defense of the newer films while Reed happily stirs the pot. The guys agree social media needs a no politics switch, debate square pizzas and round boxes, question whether movie theater popcorn is only good because you’re trapped, and determine that farting in a jacuzzi might be the perfect crime. Eddie also hits Reed with the drive thru wiper test to prove he might be accidentally a jerk, which turns into a stubbornness test that gets a little too real, plus a viral conspiracy about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds in 2026, mystery monkeys on the loose, and a very questionable study claiming garlic makes your sweat sexier.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 12th. The Bears beat the Packers and Eddie showed up glowing in full Bears gear, which Reed says makes him the villain of the office. It’s National Clean Your Desk Day, so naturally Reed gets called out for still having birthday decorations up, and then things spiral into “chopplegangers,” the viral term for your uglier doppelganger. AI compares the guys to John Goodman, Joey Fatone, Adam Driver and more, and no one feels good about it. Plus the poison grape gamble, the Doomsday Plane sighting, Packers fans being ranked dead last in drinking, and proof that Eddie’s trash talking is genetic.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 9th. It’s the first full week of the year and Reed is already done with 2026 while Eddie is coming off a migraine day that took him out. Eddie does the math and reminds us we’re only 2% into the year, which somehow makes it worse. Reed rolls out his brand new self help series, Life Lessons to Improve Your Overall Worldly Experience From Reed, including revolutionary advice like stop checking your email, especially if you’re Eddie sitting on 51 unread messages and spiraling. The guys dive into wildly uncomfortable “favorite facts” about lost nukes, dinosaur kidney water, cockroach allergies, and inherited kinks, battle through a Top 5 where Reed mentally quits early, and officially retire Bandle after Karli wins and Reed gets very passive aggressive about it. Add in new dating trends, old school tech making a comeback, National Quitters Day, and Reed’s $370 strep throat rant about the healthcare system, and you’ve got a Friday that feels way longer than 2% of a year.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 8th. With Eddie out, Biff holds down the fort and somehow turns into “Eddie 2.0,” sparking debates about eating your food in order of least favorite to favorite, whether guys can take bubble baths, and why showing up to someone’s house unannounced in the 90s was normal but would get you ignored by Reed today. Biff and Reed spiral over shower habits, inner monologues, and the mind blowing realization that we might just be renting our water, react to Hilary Duff’s unexpectedly bold new song, unpack a cheating scandal that turned into a lawsuit, pitch a questionable Jackass style stunt, and try to survive what feels like the longest first full week of the year.

It’s officially one month until Mexico, and Eddie is already setting boundaries by making it clear he will not be babysitting Reed, especially after hearing about the extremely white start to Reed’s Mexico playlist. Things spiral on National Pass Gas Day when Reed becomes genuinely concerned that kids don’t laugh at farts anymore, followed by a deep dive into wild CES tech like music lollipops, talking AI picture frames, Lego smart bricks, stair-climbing vacuums, and AI hair clippers that Eddie is convinced could put his wife out of a job. Reed brings an “asking for a friend” situation involving an email from an ex that immediately raises red flags.

The guys kick things off by declaring war on coworkers who microwave food for more than five minutes, which turns into calling out the boss live on the air and learning his half power microwave strategy that only makes things worse. Eddie admits he wants to live a long life but not forever, Reed asks some wildly uncomfortable hypothetical questions about death, and things spiral into a very questionable ice cream based secret to living longer. They debate whether taking a trip is the ultimate relationship test, react to a list of banned words for the new year, and talk fake resolutions like canceling subscriptions and decluttering your closet. Reed also tries reverse manifesting to eliminate life’s most annoying inconveniences, Eddie reveals why the backwards hanger trend will not work for him, and science apparently says swearing makes you stronger.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 5th. It’s the first show of the new year and Reed is feeling refreshed, Eddie is still defending the Bears, and we quickly learn Reed may have been mentally checked out longer than he thought. National Whipped Cream Day takes a turn thanks to a Varsity Blues reference, Reed absolutely buries himself by calling Karli old during Name That Tune Piano Edition, and Eddie shocks everyone by winning for the first time ever and immediately credits his LASIK. Things get uncomfy with a new game about very real things doctors have had to remove from people’s bodies, then Reed has ChatGPT list his and Eddie’s flaws and how people actually experience them. The show wraps with Eddie’s ambitious New Year’s resolution, Reed explaining why resolutions usually fail, his guide to actually succeeding and being part of the 1 percent that sticks with it, and a heated debate over why some Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from December 31. It’s New Year’s Eve and Eddie finally shows up after two days off, which Reed absolutely did not handle well. What starts as a heartfelt thank you quickly turns into breakup talk, timeline receipts, and Reed hunting for loopholes before confirming they are in fact still good. Reed then outs Eddie for installing a stripper pole in his basement, immediately prompting Eddie to remind him that this was shared in confidence. Things only get more awkward from there. The last Top 5 of the year does Eddie no favors, a debate breaks out over how long you’re allowed to say Happy New Year, and Reed discovers his new favorite Jon Hamm vibe trend. They wrap up the year talking favorite 2025 moments, awards season highs, eating good starting Monday, and realizing their new cubicles have officially turned them into coworkers who feel a little too much like roommates.

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from December 30. It’s day two without Eddie and day two of the weird purgatory between Christmas and New Year’s, with Reed insisting no real work is happening and Biff insisting otherwise while filling in again. The show spirals into irrational fears thanks to a listener text that unlocks a brand new nightmare for Biff. Hot Take Tuesday fires off opinions on customers, podcasts, iced coffee in winter, and the overrated New Year’s Eve ball drop, plus a wild story about waking up from surgery speaking another language, a debate over accents, talk of octopuses eventually taking over the earth, honest gym struggle talk, and the growing sense that Eddie might be on thin ice for missing yet another day while Biff holds things down.
