A backyard studio, a table full of friends, and a holiday that refuses to stay tidy—this one starts with Thanksgiving stories and turns into something bigger. We swap decades-in-the-kitchen war tales, the unexpected joy of not cooking, and the scandal of serving ham instead of turkey. There’s practical wisdom too: mini pies that beat the knife fight, why Costco can save a feast, and how appetizers sabotage dinner if you don’t watch the clock. Then we time-travel to high school and ask the qu...
A humble backyard studio, a round table of friends, and zero filter—that’s our cue to talk about the real mechanics of adult friendship, boundaries with lots of laughter. We start with laughs and drinks, then push into the messy middle: why women often share the unshareable, why men hide feeling behind performance, and how those habits collide or harmonize when friendships cross genders. We swap stories that sound chaotic but reveal patterns: matching tattoos that mark loyalty, a grocery-sto...
With the coaching chaos in college football, El Dude comes in and we go over a wave of pink slips just hit some of college football’s biggest brands, and the story behind the headlines is messier than a busted coverage. We sit down with beers and blunt honesty to trace how NIL collectives, transfer portal churn, and impatient boosters have turned the head coach role into a 365-day gauntlet. From Penn State breaking with James Franklin to LSU paying a jaw-dropping buyout for Brian Kelly, we un...
A short trip can feel huge when you stop chasing checklists and start collecting stories. We kick off with a Michigan swing built around kitchens, porches, and a portable Blackstone loaded with crispy pork cutlets—proof that time with family can outrank any itinerary. From there we head to Branson, meet up with a lifelong friend, ride the big Ferris wheel, and discover a tasting room that turns moonshine into a ritual. The real jolt arrives on the Pink Jeep tour: a ten-story, 41-degree drop i...
The mics are back on, the beers are cold, and we jump straight into the lines we can’t stop quoting—from the drill-sergeant roar of Full Metal Jacket to the deadpan chaos of Caddyshack and the cult cadence of The Big Lebowski. What starts as a quick round of favorites turns into a surprisingly honest look at why certain lines stick, how we use them at work and with friends, and why the perfect quote sometimes beats an original thought when a moment needs the right punch. From there, we take ...
Have you ever fallen head over heels for a pet that simultaneously drives you to the brink of insanity? That's exactly what happened when we rescued two tabby kittens after losing our perfect adult cat, Mila. Meet Tucker and Lily, the two-and-a-half-month-old siblings who completely shattered our expectations of what living with kittens would be like. While the conventional wisdom says new pets need three days to emerge from hiding, three weeks to get comfortable, and three months to truly s...

What happens when bar conversations become podcast gold? Jeffy McJefferson and Rayette take listeners behind the scenes to reveal how Almost Famous Radio Podcast transformed from a backyard dream into a global phenomenon.

The magic formula emerged during casual conversations at their local grow...
From synthesizer nightmares to saccharine ballads, the 1980s gave us some of the most commercially successful yet critically questionable music in pop history. In this unfiltered deep dive, we count down the 20 worst songs that somehow reached number one on the charts during this neon-soaked decade. What makes a hit song truly terrible? We start with the universally panned "We Built This City" by Starship and work our way through musical atrocities like Falco's "Amadeus" and Christopher Cros...
