Cave of Thrones!!! S8Ep5 Part One: 99 Problems...

Welcome back to "Cave of Thrones!!!" Some pretty insane stuff is about to go down. Dating in Westeros seems pretty intense, we're just sayin'. 

In this episode, CraigMakk talk about how war....war never changes (from Vietnam to King's Landing); Serious Jest takes another opportunity to spring Aubrey on an unsuspecting Makk; and both guys dig deep into the insensitivity that GRRM and the show runners just might have toward women and minorities; how The Carlton might look in 2019; how much betrayal is too much for a Queen of Dragons to handle; when keeping it real goes wrong for Varys; and much, much more. Plus they bring Jim Sardonic on to be a moderator and move things along, and he does a surprisingly good job. All this while drinking some astonishingly great beers. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Cave of Therap...I mean Thrones!!!"

Episode 28 Part Four: Round Four...FIGHT!!!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Did you think the guys tend to agree on pretty much everything in previous episodes? Get ready to hear how wrong you really are...this is the episode where some Serious FuckShit happens.

In this episode, the guys make the decision to try to tackle some really really serious topics while being seriously inebriated...it's up to you to decide if they succeed. You'll definitely hear CraigMakk double down on his hatred of a pretty specific rapper in every aspect of his being; Serious Jest will show you why you really wouldn't like him when he's angry; and the guys will debate all types of popular topics such as R. Kelly the Monster; the Case of the Horrendous Nursing Home Guy; Drake the Fondler; the heart-breaking Jazmine Barnes case; Kevin "The Douchebag" Spacey's video; the uplifting updates to Cyntoia Brown's story; the awesomeness that is Emma Stone; and Ajit Pai Strikes Back. Oh, and they just continue in a downward spiral of drunkenness. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 28 Part Three: The Penalty Beer Strikes Back

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" This one is kind of like the dark middle chapter of your favorite podcast's favorite podcast. They thought they had defeated the penalty beer forever...little did they know, they were very wrong. The Penalty Beer ALWAYS wins in the end.

In this episode, CraigMakk plays the role of the roguish scoundrel who is betrayed by his drunken co-host; Serious Jest plays the role of the naive Jedi who battles his father/the penalty beer in a cave of alcohol enthusiasm and loses; and both guys decide to talk about some serious stuff in a decidedly un-serious manner. Plus, you'll hear them rant about shit they hated in the all new "2017 in Review ManCave Shit List" and try their damnedest to stay sober while they drink some amazing beers (Spoiler Alert: no one really wins). So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"
