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!!!"

Beer(s) of the Show: 

Bolero Snort 20th & Bull Imperial Stout

Dogfish Head American Beauty Pale Ale

Rochester Mills Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout

Welcome back to "Cave of Thrones!!!" It's been a while since there was a Cave of Thrones...but you know the old saying: In the Cave, you either win, or you die. And there's no dragons down here.

All of this while recording a live episode and drinking a whole lot of great beers. So strap in, grab yourself a beer or mug of Giant's milk, and welcome back to "Cave of 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!!!"

Episode 28 Part Two: You Drunk My Battleship!!!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!," where the holidays never truly end as long as it's still cold outside. And if you live anywhere in North America, holy CRAP, is it friggin' cold outside!

In this episode, CraigMakk continues his heroic ability to control his own self-inflicted "safe word"; Jest proves himself a podcast rookie when it comes to mic technique; and the guys deconstruct a nearly 80 year old apparent Christmas tradition of peer pressuring women via song and mysterious drinks. Also, welcome to the brand new Christmas tradition of ManCave Battleship, which you will surely be playing for years on end with your children and grandchildren! Okay, maybe not. But CraigMakk & Serious Jest sure will, and screw you, because this is their podcast. Oh, and prepare to hear about a ton of incredible holiday beers, because....why, not, am I right?

Episode 28 Part One: Neverending Christmas with the Co-Hosts

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" When you're here, it's always Christmas. And when it's Christmas, you get drunk. Yes, we know the holidays are over, but if A=B, and B=C, well...you know what to do.

 In this very special holiday episode, CraigMakk picks the perfect word to help Jest get better at podcasting in 2019; Serious Jest sends a beautiful and not at all creepy love letter to Scarlett Johansson; and the guys express their eternal devotion to one another through hypothetical (and some very real, and very awkward) gifts to celebrate the season. Plus, you'll learn about some amazing experiences to live like a boss for the weekend; discover the best way to decorate a ManCave for the holiday; understand why Christmas cards get better with age (yours, not the card's); and how to truly punish your friends through the power of truly terrible beer. All while you uncover some absolutely amazing winter and holiday season beers. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and have a neverending Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Live from the MCU!!!: Episode 5.2 - The Taunting of Cable

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" This is what they've been building for over the last few months. It all comes down to this. The epic showdown...I guess somebody should probably tell Cable.

In this episode, FahQ believes that real men can fly around in a jet pack and cry without shame; The Stalker teaches you all about the most horrifying origami; Jim Sardonic lectures the guys about the true evils of fiscal conservatism as a supervillain; and everyone learns the hard way not to leave FahQ in the dark about a plan. Plus, you'll get educated on the finer points of Lyft versus Uber; improve your tea-bagging game; learn not to underestimate "Taco Rage;" engage in some in-game pee breaks; discuss the intricacies of taxi cab etiquette; and graduate to liquor that will effectively end your ability to successfully roll well in an RPG. So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"

Whiskey of the Show:

Gentleman Jack Whiskey, which apparently doesn't have anything to do with being an actual gentleman.

Live from the MCU!!!: Ep5.1 - Welcome to Stan the ManCave!!!

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" The time has come for the guys to make some pretty critical decisions that will affect their lives forever. And that's just the beers they decided to drink.

 In this episode, FahQ shows how a real hype man can really blow the roof off a party with only a jet pack, some tunes, and a miniature HD camera; The Stalker shows his true colors (and his apparent deep-seated hatred of Acapulco); Jim Sardonic does his absolute best to make the guys create as many ManCave t-shirts as possible; and the guys prepare for the ultimate showdown of their short villainous career. Plus, a touching tribute to Stan "the Man" Lee, who made every bit of this possible. All while getting so deep down the rabbit hole of beer that you will want to run out to the store and buy one for yourself. Don't worry....they'll be here when you get back. So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"
