Episode Ten - Three Guys Walk Into a Bar...

 Welcome to Live from the ManCave!!! We've been saying it for months, but today we finally did it. We finally went and brought someone creepier than ourselves on the Internet. And BOY do things just go downhill from there.

In this episode, CraigMakk desperately explains the truth behind why R.M.S.P. ("real men see plays"); Jest tries to prove that he is most definitely NOT Mexican; and third mic Jon from INeedAnotherDrink.com proves that older married guys can still have hot moms. Seriously, his mom is hot. Go on, Google her....we'll wait.


Throughout it all you'll learn how women need to repair after childbirth, how Christmas and acid leads to near-death experiences, and why Eddie Murphy ruins everything. Oh, and don't expect to learn anything from Jon at all, because we never let him finish a sentence. But boy, do we get drunk. So sit back, grab a beer, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: The Bruery's Mischief, a dry, hoppy Belgian Ale that will get you wrecked just like us.

Episode Eight - George Washington Carver: Valentine Hunter

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" As you probably (don't) know, the even episodes are our regular old episodes, with all the knee-slapping humor and witty banter you've come to know and love. At least that's what we say when we're crying ourselves to sleep at night. I mean partying and sleeping with random women!! Yeah, that's more like it.

In this episode, CraigMakk explains how much he hates men with girl's names, Jest proves that his favorite show on television is the commercial break, and the guys profess their man-love for the Giants in an overly drunk, and possibly creepy, fashion.

Throughout it all. you'll probably get all riled up over ACTA, why not to EVER piss off Anonymous, and how to be two-faced to celebrities through sound clips to get them to come on your podcast. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode Seven - ManCave MovieNight - The Horrible Burro Chronicles

 Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Due to popular demand, we decided to spin off our movie review segment into it's very own podcast, entitled "ManCave MovieNight". Yes, you're welcome. No, we don't drink any less. Yes, we like to hear ourselves on the Internet.

In this episode, CraigMakk explains why Will Smith will try desperately to be cast in "Chronicle 2", and Serious Jest points out the importance of prosthetics and makeup in a good comedy. Don't forget to watch "Horrible Bosses" and "The Adjustment Bureau" before you listen, or prepare to be SPOILED. You have been warned.

Episode Six - Pop Bottles

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" and welcome to 2012! We decided to hold our very own New Year's Party in the ManCave....we don't care when the year actually started. We're all supposed to die this year anyway, so does it really matter??

 In this episode, CraigMakk makes a bunch of Resolutions that involve a whole lot of work for other people (and none for himself), and Serious Jest explains why the DEA should give up the War on Drugs and instead turn their sights on The Matrix. Then prepare to be wowed by the pomp and circumstance of our very First Annual ManCave Awards!

Episode Five - The Christmas Party

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" This time around we actually have a legitimate Christmas-themed episode. We figured now that all your decorations are down and the tree is in the garbage, we can help you with those post-holiday blues by celebrating with your favorite podcast like it never ended! And to think you say we never gave you anything...

In this episode, things start out great as CraigMakk discusses some insane and potentially deadly family holiday parties from Christmas' past; Serious Jest does his best to prove that he's not cheap with regards to gift-giving, he's just frugal and more about the thought than the gift (i.e. cheap); and even Chewie makes a couple of key yet suspect appearances from his company holiday party!

Then things quickly go to hell (or is it heaven?), as Jest preaches his most inner beliefs about spotlights from heaven, the meaning of love conquering all, and why God doesn't have to play by his own rules....all while INCREDIBLY inebriated from SoCoEeNo (you'll have to listen to know what that means).

Throughout all the insanity, you will have heard about a bunch of great gifts to give or receive, the ManCave's favorite Christmas movies of all time, and some of the best holiday beers on the planet...all while teaching you the all-new "ManCave Drinking Game!" See, that's why you listen! So sit back, grab a (holiday) drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: Noel Baladin, an Italian Christmas Ale, and apparently Jest's favorite beer ever.

Episode Four - The ManCave Rises

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" We decided to ring in the holiday season with this decidedly un-"Holiday-themed" episode. Don't worry...we have one coming soon. But in the meantime, we decided to grace you with one last episode before we are completely caught up.....we promise.

In this episode, CraigMakk explains why the only good Senator is a lonely and childless one; Serious Jest does his absolute best to drive Makk out of his mind with characters and cheesy musical interludes; and the guys roll out their (World Premiere!) movie trailers for your voting pleasure, allowing you the power to give one of them props while simultaneously crushing the other one's spirit irreparably.

And throughout all the late, late, LATE night revelry, movie reviews and wacky story-telling, the guy are still able to throw back a few beers...what WON'T they do for you, lucky listener? So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: Fat Tire Amber Ale, which isn't that bad when you consider who chose it.

Episode Three - The (Movie) Draft

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" As we struggle to finally get our crap together and get the show out in a timely manner, we still feel pretty confident that this episode is jam-packed with podcast gold. At least we like to tell ourselves that. Let us down easy, alright?

In this episode, Serious Jest explains how kids playing in a sandbox "moves" him; CraigMakk finds more ways to remind you why women ruin movies; and the guys invite a couple of "special guests" into the studio for a podcast-first ever Mega Fantasy Movie Draft and hilarity ensues! Get excited, bro.

Thanks to Wacker and Ms. Special Guest for making us look good, and bringing a bit of their own special brand of humor at the same time....when they remembered to turn the mics on.

And with all of the insanity and excitement, you will still get to hear the guys tell some amazing stories, talk about some movies you may or may not have seen before, and drink a whole lot. Although they sound like AA members compared to Makk's last episode, which is nice. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: A quality beer called Six Point Bengali Tiger IPA...welcome back to the Quality Beer Show, people.

Episode Two - The Black-Out

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!" With only a few ancient episodes left, we do our best to bring you another high-quality show with tons of laughs mixed with education. We also fail miserably in that attempt, and are left with the episode you are about to hear.

In this episode, the guys imagine Jest as a leash-wearing bear; Chewie supports the right of men everywhere to proudly display their banana hammock; and CraigMakk makes the miraculous full-circle transition from sober to BOMBED back to completely sober again...all in one episode.

Thank God we brought in a live studio audience to cover it all up and make it sound semi-legitimate. But then God makes us pay for our sins by pulling the power and leaving us in a blackout...in more ways than one.

And throughout all the trials and tribulations, you will hear the guys talk about some reasonably interesting stories, tell some terrifying personal stories, and drink quite a bit....especially that CraigMakk drunk. Which is to say this is just par for the course in ManCave Studios. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: Bud Light Lime...yes, I am as angry and just plain disappointed as you were when you read that. I apologize for that

Episode One-The Fellowship of he Cave (Part Two)

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" We are proud to present to you the incredible conclusion of this very special episode. And again, remember, special really just means long. And by now, you're really starting to understand what long means.

In this episode, Jest describes in great detail his fascination with movies involving boxing one's balls like a speedbag; Chewie professes his hatred for movies that remind him how dumb he really is; and CraigMakk explains why Superman really is the most terrifying supervillain of ALL TIME. Be afraid...be very afraid.

Throughout it all, the guys will enlighten you on the prospects of time travel, teach you a thing or two about mortgages, and point you in the right direction for the next time you plan a high-security prison break. Oh, and they talk about some movies while they are at it. And drink even more than last time....I know, I know, why even bother writing that part anymore, right? So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: Still Firestone Walker Double Jack IPA...finally, a good beer, mostly because the only one who actually likes good beer got to pick. Enjoy it, while you can.

Episode One-The Fellowship of the Cave (Part One)

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" We continue to dig (way) back and pull some episodes from our backlog for you to enjoy. This one was so epic, we had to split it up and give it it's own sequel right off the bat. And when we say epic, we mean.....well, we mean long. So strap in, kids, and get ready for DOUBLE the funny!

In this opening salvo, Jest gets to dazzle you with both his legal knowledge AND his "sexy voice"; Chewie reminds you why you never want your Grandmother to go to the Shore alone again; and CraigMakk learns the hard way that just because you call someone a friend doesn't mean they won't try to embarrass you in front of the entire Internet world.

And in all this insanity, the guys are able to update you on some potentially interesting stories, tell you some horrendous stories, and drink....a lot. Sounds like another successful show to me. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: Firestone Walker Double Jack IPA...finally, a good beer, mostly because the only one who actually likes good beer got to pick. Enjoy it, while you can.

Episode Beta - It Will Continue

You can now check out “Live from the ManCave!!!” via Stitcher Radio and iTunes (Don’t forget to rate us 5 stars)!

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The overwhelmingly positive response to our bare bones and childish approach in Episode Zero made us feel compelled to release another blast from the past. After digging through our proverbial 'crates', we found Episode Beta hiding in a corner. We felt that giving it a cool and hip name might make you go easier on us. We also experience our first test of friendship when CraigMakk and Chewie are forced to discuss the public's response to LeBron over the last year...you'll need to keep listening to see if we ever make it to the next Episode!

Jest discusses how watching unwanted dry hump videos in slow motion makes them less awkward and more sexy, Chewie tells a sad story from his youth regarding blatant misuse of 3D glasses, and CraigMakk tries desperately to convince the other guys that he understands the meaning of Pi (SPOILER ALERT: He doesn't).

Throughout it all, the guys are able to review and recommend a bunch of movies, discuss some interesting topics, and imbibe a lot of beer. For a "hidden gem" that was never supposed to see the light of day, Episode Beta is still pretty goddamn great. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Beer of the Show: Not FourLoko, THANK GOD, but not much better...Pabst Blue Ribbon. We apologize in advance for inflicting that upon you.

Episode Zero Podcast - It Has Begun

You can now check out “Live from the ManCave!!!” via Stitcher Radio and iTunes (Don’t forget to rate us 5 stars)!

Welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!", the one that started it all. In our inaugural episode, we test the very limits of our commitment to this whole podcast adventure and come out even stronger in our desire to be the best damn show you've ever heard. Serious Jest plays his "Christian card' by immediately throwing his support behind a crazy man, Chewie sounds like he is phoning it in from the middle of the Atlantic due to some technical difficulties, and CraigMakk does his best to remember that he's not supposed to be pimping another podcast about video games (<cough> BarcodePodcast <cough>). All the while, the guys talk about their favorite movies and genres, suggest a couple flicks you may not have seen, and get pretty drunk about halfway through. All in all, a pretty damn successful show if you ask us. Sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"
