Episode 31 Part One: Un Poco Loco

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" It's been a little while, so you're probably a little rusty with the rules. Just take a seat and you'll be taken care of in the order in which you arrived. 

They guys haven't done a proper LftMC episode in a bit, so they had a whole lot to talk about. I hope you took a bathroom break before you got here. In this episode, you'll hear a seemingly non-ironic discussion about why they're more refined with their drinking these days; learn how Pixar movies and Borat can be brought up in the same sentence, (again, without irony); dig deep into their love of songs that glorify the special insanity brought on by the global pandemic; and much more. All while listening to the guys discuss some pretty legitimate beer options to get yourself drunk. And this is just Part One. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Live from the MCU!!! Episode Seven: Round One to Infinity

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Yes, it's been a while. Blame COVID, blame the holidays, but most of all, blame CraigMakk. It's what real men like Serious Jest do anyway. 

In this episode, the guys take you on a wild ride to try and take down the Guardians of the Galaxy. And if you've been following along with the show so far, you probably already know how this is going to end up. That doesn't make it any easier for GameMaster Jim Sardonic, who has to try to keep these guys in check. But things will truly go off the rails once the new toxins come into play, that's for sure. 

ManCave Trivia Time: Do you know what the first ManCave-distributed beer will be called (if it ever happens)? Or how to calculate the diameter of a constantly shifting building? Or the ultimate weakness of Drax the Destroyer? Two of the three of those questions might be answered in this episode! So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Because no matter what else happens, these two CERTAINLY aren't the supervillains you're looking for, Obi-Wan.

Episode 30 Part Seven: Please STOP, Jest!!!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" This massive episode finally comes to an end...but you will be haunted by it forever more.

In this episode, CraigMakk somehow starts a CaveBattle over Rob Zombie, and not the war he ever expected; Serious Jest finally shatters the will of his co-host AND special guests all in one episode; "Special Guest" GabeGonzo spends half the show promoting his other podcast with Serious Jest like a bawss; and other "Special Guest" Luimbe will give you an incredible breakdown of what makes each of the cable news stations suck in their own special way. Plus, prepare to learn why Jest is the paragon of political arguments; understand a bit more how hurtful a hierarchy can be amongst friends; and listen to how two co-hosts (and best friends) can have a fundamental difference in opinion on how to interpret a show topic; all while learning about some incredibly delicious and high alcohol-content beers.

"That's what you did to me in 2019, Jest!!" It's not just a shirt...it's a cry for help. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 30 Part Five: Errbody in the Cave Gettin' Tipsy

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Have you ever heard of the game, "Around the Bar"? In case you haven't, it's the game where a couple of guys sit around a bar, drinking and talking about some semi-current events...while getting pretty banged up. Fair warning for you: never start the game with a 10% ABV beer.

In this part of the "holiday" episode, CraigMakk reminds you that he may kind of like Batman a teeny, tiny bit (SPOILER ALERT: he's a lonely, sad, and pathetic BatGeek that will die alone); Serious Jest discusses the quality of sex performed by ladies with mental instabilities...and Tonya Harding; special guest Jim Sardonic is hacking you through your computer/smart phone as we speak; plus you'll hear about the impending launch of Cave Water II: The Return of CaveWater; uncover more revelations that the biggest "MindFuck" of 2020 is how easy it is to "Gaslight" America; take a crash course on why Pepe the Frog just plain sucks; witness the appearance of Keanu Reeves on a bender; hope you really like Harley Quinn and Margot Robbie, because you're going to hear about them...A LOT; plus listen to the guys drink some incredible Tavour-acquired beers (and whiskey) while rambling on about Mitch McConnell, Care Bears and much, much more. You probably should strap in, grab yourself a pretty strong beer (you'll need it to hang with these guys), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

In this incredibly special part of Episode 30, CraigMakk and Serious Jest interview the amazing Graci Harkema, formerly of Founders Brewing. But now she's spreading a beautiful message regarding the importance of inclusivity, respecting others, and recognizing the need for diversity. She has a powerful story to tell about her early life, growing up and overcoming obstacles, and standing up for her beliefs. Prepare to be inspired, and maybe even moved to action. This is not like any episode you've heard from these guys before, but you'll certainly want to listen again and again.

Happy Holidays, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The festivities continue as the guys start exchanging gifts...and singing Christmas carols together. Yup, this one gets weird.

In part two of the holiday extravaganza, CraigMakk proves why everyone calls him a fancy mutha-fuckin' wizard; newly crowned Mr. Inspector Jest shows how easily he is swayed from wholesome gifts given by loved ones simply by being offered a sex toy; and special guest GabeGonzo shares stories about his good old days (otherwise known as his rampant pre-10 year old binge drinking days); plus you'll hear all about the dangers of tribalism through alcoholic beverages; learn about some brand new ways to mix drinks in ways you never thought possible; listen to the ManCave Christmas Tree serenade the guys whether they want him to or not; and hear about some absolutely kick-ass gifts that will at the very least make you jealous that you're partner isn't as cool as these guys; all while learning about some absolutely insane beers you probably never even heard of before.

Episode 30 Part One: Santa's on Vacation

Happy Holidays from "Live from the ManCave!!!" In this first part of their annual Holiday Party episode, the guys welcome in a couple of guests to celebrate...and uncover the type of sponsorship they REALLY need. Spoiler Alert: it's definitely not the fun beer company kind, but it sure is related to alcohol.

In part one, CraigMakk channels his inner school-teacher at story time, much to the other guys' dismay; Serious Jest demonstrates how his (very loud) "inner voice" tries to stop his inappropriate behavior and invariably fails; special guest GabeGonzo proclaims his true love for thick beer head; second special guest Luimbe will show his true colors as an uncomfortably large Space Force fan; plus, you'll hear a first-ever "ManCave Aged Beer Taste Challenge;" listen to the guys workshop their all-new "Ass Beer" marketing campaign slogans; enjoy a surprisingly in-depth review of 1971's "Oregon Trail" in 2019; join them in a very personal interview with Luimbe and learn how much better of a person he is than just about anyone even tangentially related to the ManCave; discuss some all-time favorite Christmas movies while picking apart the Griswold Family ManCave; and much more, all while enjoying some incredible Christmas beers. Just make sure you took a Christmas Vacation from work to celebrate with the guys...you're going to need it after this one. So strap in, grab yourself a holiday beer (or three), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Because, as always, the shitter's full!
