- Ep 358 - Scottie S. Doesn't Know (02:03:44)
AJ’s returns from the Pacific Northwest to kick off the show’s 8th season. He recaps the good (food and activities), the bad (golf played), and the ugly (tears cried after an amazing Linkin Park concert). This eventually leads to some debate about whether traditional Asian cuisine can/should be presented as fine dining (no small feat, considering the Iceman was involved). The guys also ponder if they need to pay more attention to the biggest Twitch streamers in the game (better late than never we suppose). And of course, they break down the calamity that was the US Ryder Cup team of 2025. It’s enough to make you wanna throw a beer and expatriate.
- Ep 357 - Beater Meter (00:59:42)
One minute, the boys are lamenting the state of movies, the next, they’re hard launching America’s newest movie critic: Dr. Beats. The guys know he has the credentials but his official rating scale? Might need some work. Meanwhile, AJ tries once more to get the Iceman into a pair of his own sneakers... while unironically sporting the lamest shoes in history.
- Ep 356 - Màs Rojo (00:55:08)
AJ returns from his latest work trip with a snack that's equal parts strange and controversial, so of course, the boys have thoughts. Not stopping there, AJ also ropes the crew into trying the new Popeyes x Hot Ones collab. It's classic BS at its finest: eating, talking about eating, and wondering why they ate it in the first place.
- Ep 355 - Till Next Year... (01:34:14)
Fall is here, which means two things: the Iceman's first seasonal sick day and a throwback remote show. After battling the usual tech hiccups (and AJ's absence), the boys recap the Commanders' annual first home game tailgate, what went right, what went sideways, and who may have lost the battle to too many drinks. They close things out with takes on Apple's "Awe Dropping" event and what's next for the company, all before the Nyquil kicks in.
- Ep 354 - Side PIeces (02:04:55)
The boys return from an unplanned August hiatus, and to say the time away was eventful would be an understatement. The A in AJ now stands for ‘aerodynamic’, and the Iceman makes a case to be rechristened “The Travelin’ Man”. The former discusses his new do, while the latter gives a full rundown of his trip into the Epic Universe, the Kentucky Bourbon trail, and all points in between. All the while, Yoggin Yack stayed prepping for a fall race but it seems an unnamed running partner might’ve left him hanging. Somewhere along the way, the guys remember to refocus and gear up for week 1 of the Commanders’ home opener. Because football.
- Ep 353 - Sphere Factor (01:18:36)
Another run of the "Beautiful Game", and it appears Ace-J is wavering in his love of golf. Can the Iceman and Yogging Yack talk him down from the ledge? Aside from the golf talk, the Iceman and Ace-J detail their upcoming travel plans, while Ace-J has a tough decision to make before splitting for the coast. Have a listen while you are out on the range.
- Ep 352 - Heat Game (01:09:27)
Believe it or not, most of this ep is centers on the McDonald’s Spicy Snack Wrap. Ace-J brings in McD’s latest ‘innovation’ for an impromptu taste test, and the conversation quickly becomes an indictment on aging and the rapidly changing tastes in America. Of course, none of that compares to the spiciness on display this past weekend at Summerslam but depending on who you ask, it gets pretty darn close. Have a listen (but maybe have some ice cream on standby).
- Ep 351 - Rate of Play (02:23:17)
Ace-J and the Iceman hit the links to celebrate the former’s birthday… and they got the (golf) balls to prove it! Yack is back, and he’s running on fumes… literally. By some miracle, all of the principals made it out to the cinema to catch the latest attempt at a Superman movie, and they provide a WIDE range of opinions. Iceman recaps a trip to the Big Apple that’s MUCH different than what he or Mrs. Iceman are used to seeing. And the boys close with the epic rise and fall of Hulkamania. Have a listen, say your prayers, eat your vitamins… or don’t. You do you.
- Ep 350 - Sick of Gong (02:12:52)
Ace-J is back and he’s got raps… correction: snack wraps. The boys try Popeyes’ new-ish chicken wraps to get a gauge on the impending wrap war. The results might surprise you but Iceman’s response to ‘heat’ certainly will not. When things cool down, Iceman shares his plans for a late summer flurry of activity that’ll surely up his frequent flyer mileage. The guys make plans for a FANTASTIC date. Travis Scott ruins everything, but Danny Skip does not. Have a listen between binging Black Sabbath records (RIP OZZY).
- Ep 349 – Touch Tips (01:59:48)
With Ace J out, the running duo recaps their 4th of July antics and the Iceman's latest health reset—sparked by too many parties and a surprise Orange Theory class. Yoggin Yack calls out the Iceman's terrible summer shoe take, before the two lock in their next 10K. The Iceman previews a golf tourney at his old stomping grounds and somehow turns a search for a cheaper phone plan into a business deal. They wrap with hot takes on the Commanders' throwback uniforms and what it means for the fan base.
- Ep 348 - Brian Walker (01:01:15)
AJ and Yack battle technology to put the boots (sneakers?) to their good friend, the Iceman. The poker world is on fire again, and the boys are here for it. AJ does his best Harry Hogge impression as the guys gush at the prospect of an F1/Days of Thunder crossover. They close things out with even more movie babble, as they ponder a possible Crimson Tide sequel, even more obscure Street Fighter casting news, and Fat Vin Diesel.
- Ep 347 -
Full Bend (01:30:30)
The boys try to seize on AJ’s hole-in-one hysteria by making a golf date… only to see it cancelled by Mother Nature. Of course, that doesn’t stop AJ from testing out some future on-course cocktails. Meanwhile, the Iceman lays out his plan to become the Girl-Dad version of Earl Woods. But lest we forget, the Iceman isn’t all golf, all the time… he’s also a noted Squid Game geek, and he’s gearing up for all the finale fun (with or without AJ). There’s also some NBA scuttlebutt, along with a quick glance at the unassuming Air Jordan 40. But make no mistake, this one is fun enough to make you wanna jump off a 4-story railing on a cruise ship.
- Ep 346 - Chamelet (02:00:04)
The Batcave series rolls on as the Iceman and Yoggin Yack break down their latest running adventure: the PUSO 10K. From questionable wardrobe choices to what's next on the calendar—it's all on the table. Meanwhile, AJ returns from vacation with a golf story so epic it might just earn him a green jacket (or at least a towel). Yoggin hits the theaters for the live-action How to Train Your Dragon and doesn't hold back in his review. The crew closes things out with hot takes on the new Street Fighter casting and the ripple effects of the latest James Bond news. Crack open a Celsius and enjoy the ride!
- Ep 345 - Warped (02:05:07)
Iceman recaps a not-so-leisurely vacay, complete with sugary drinks, mediocre resort food, and little-to-no prep for his upcoming 10k. (FWIW he’s still committed to run, which is more than we can say for SOME friends of the show). Meanwhile, AJ takes a spontaneous trip of his own… down memory lane that is, as he attends the relaunch of the Vans Warped Tour in DC. (Spoiler alert: at this age, it’s not for the cheap or the faint of heart.) Ice reveals he literally can’t wait for season 3 of The Last of Us, and AJ can’t go a day without getting creeped out by someone on the internet. This ep is best enjoyed with comfy shoes.
- Ep 344 - V3 Drop Night (01:22:45)
The Iceathon rolls on as the Iceman falls deep into the Labubu rabbit hole: yes, it's a thing, and yes, he's obsessed. After the latest shock drop, he comes up for air just long enough to give his take on Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and what might be next for the franchise. The boys debate a Sinners sequel without Ryan Coogler (gasp!), then pivot to the real question: is the McDonald's Snack Wrap comeback actually worth it? They wrap things up with a rapid fire roundup Taylor Swift, sports betting, and other bits of chaos you didn't know you needed.
- Ep 343 - Transition to Zero (01:05:17)
Happy Birthday to the Iceman! He recaps his big weekend in Philly, which included his first Indian wedding and a cheesesteak that somehow wasn't in Philly, and it showed. He also pitches the fellas on joining the Masters raffle… but there's a twist, and potential sacrifice. The gang then talks about the chaos surrounding the new Nintendo Switch drop and the midnight release tactic to outsmart bots and resellers. The Iceathon wraps up with a look at Apple's WWDC and why this moment might make or break the Iceman's Apple loyalty.
- Ep 342 - Top Notch Wench (02:09:21)
This week, the boys recap three VERY different Memorial Day celebrations. Ice is still raging, this time in a slightly more appropriate setting. AJ attempts to live a little and pays dearly for it, while Jack goes straight medieval. With the dust fully settled on the holiday, it’s on to the business that is the season two finale of The Last of Us. To say the guys were conflicted about the rather abbreviated 7-episode run would be a bloater-sized understatement. Grab the nearest sawed off golf club you can find and dig into the proceedings.
- Ep 341 - Press It! (01:58:59)
This week, AJ discovers the song of the summer, and BOY is it a doozy. Yack recruits a new jogger to his flock, while Ice is on his best behavior after crashing out and discovering his love for dice. Of course, when he’s not rolling them bones, Ice is nailing down seat assignments for the Commanders’ home opener (because how soon IS too soon?). The boys are surprisingly bullish about post-Mission Impossible Tom Cruise, but bearish on Amazon-Prime James Bond. AJ’s shares a hard-earned life lesson on wearing your shoes, and the guys close on monster that is begins with P and ends with D*ddy. This episode may not play well in the back of a Tuk Tuk but what do we know.
- Ep 340 - Slayfest (02:01:10)
The Iceman's first illness of the season forces a remote episode, exposing AJ's ongoing battle with modern tech. After a few hiccups, the crew dives into their unfiltered take on Thunderbolts, the latest MCU drop, and the (sort of) big news around Daredevil: Born Again. With James Gunn teasing more Superman, the entertainment talk runs deep. They wrap with their yearly ritual: overhyping the Commanders' first home game after the NFL schedule release.
- Ep 339 – I'm a Marge (02:10:27)
After an unexpected April hiatus, AJ, The Iceman, and Yoggin Yack reunite to catch up on all the chaos they missed. Yoggin kicks things off with tales of his latest run, a Spring Break trip to Lake Anna, and a tariff-fueled splurge. The Iceman reflects on Lent and his mission to get back into fighting shape, while AJ shares the highs (and mostly lows) of his first work trip to Vegas. They wrap it up with a spoiler-free take on Sinners—because of course they did.
- Ep 338 - Rum Runners (01:30:37)
This week, AJ ponies up for Disney+, and he is NOT thrilled with the value proposition. Regardless, he puts it to good use, as the boys give a spoiler-filled recap of the Daredevil Born Again 'season' finale (if you can call it that). For those wondering, Yack is still out there yoggin', while Ice rides the pine for the time being. Elsewhere, AJ is just barely recovered from his last injury but he's already shopping for new gear for the road (new injuries notwithstanding). The guys had a rum night, and things get real picklely. Stay briney, my friends.
- Ep 337 - Poncho Man Returns (01:21:24)
While Yack takes his annual spring egress, AJ and Ice speculate wildly as to what he’s REALLY doing on ‘vacay’. Ice drops a body art bombshell before launching into a full breakdown of the glory that was ‘Masters Week’. AJ begins his Wrestlemania 41 preview but he’s immediately usurped by a poncho-crazed maniac. This episode is for those that enjoy a cup of coffee in the big time.
- Ep 336 - Blue Vester (02:00:06)
The guys are back together this week… sort of. Yack is on the hunt for a new ride, while AJ reveals a ‘secret’ side gig (which may come into play if the economy keeps going the way it has been). In addition to all the recent economic turmoil, there was weather-related drama, and AJ was smack dab in the middle of it. With the finale of Daredevil Born Again looming, the guys get you all caught up through episode 8. There’s even a little bonus breakdown of the Superman sneak peek from last week. But just as the guys are ready to shut it down, there’s a surprise ‘cameo’ to bring the episode home. Pour yourself a proper pint and have a listen... but make sure your Ring doorbell camera is ON at all times. You never know who might show up on your doorstep.
- Ep 335 – GNA (01:50:34)
Yack and Ice take a wild ride through casinos and indoor waterparks, debating whether the real winner is the blackjack table or the big wheel. Hydration remains a theme as they dive into a blind tasting of Guinness vs. Non-Alcoholic Guinness. From there, the guys embark on a bar-hopping adventure before shifting gears to a tech review of the new Nintendo Switch 2. Nostalgia kicks in as they dig into the Power Rangers’ peak era (hint: it’s not Dino Thunder). Buckle up, because this episode is as unpredictable as a roulette spin.
- Ep 334 - The Hills Have Ice (02:23:39)
Yack and Ice recap a largely successful joint effort in the Middleburg 5k, complete with curious outfit choices, PBs, and fancy recovery shoes. Speaking of recovery, the guys try their hand at hydrating the Ashton Hall way, as they dissect his viral morning routine. With their bodies in check, the guys plopped down to do some serious watching (some more serious than others). Ice reviews the ‘controversial’ live action Snow White before downshifting to comparatively lighter fair, in Netflix’s Adolescence. The guys close with all the MCU hub Bub of the day, talking the Avengers Doomsday cast before getting uber-spoilery with the two-episode drop of Daredevil Born Again.
