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!!!"

Beer of the Show: Unibroue's Maudite, a strong amber-red ale that will have you feeling pretty Damned yourself!

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.

Throughout it all, you'll learn even more about TGE ("the girlfriend experience"), why movies aren't nearly as good when you are half-asleep, and listen to the guys get drunk while deciding how best to propose to Emily Blunt. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 7 - Bonus Features

In Episode Seven, we unveil our newest invention: the ManCave MovieNight! This wonderful creation allows us to focus an entire episode on our World-Famous "Watch That Shit!" segment, essentially becoming a full "spoilercast". This will allow you to control how you spoil movies for yourself. Or go back and watch the movies and catch up on the MovieNights without getting behind on our even MORE World-Famous LFtMC Episodes! Or just skip them because you don't care. Whatever, we don't care, as long as you subscribe to our show. If we learned anything from Nielsen ratings, it's that if you stick your head in the sand and pretend you don't worry about changes likes "the Internet" and "people's tastes" and "watching habits," you can stay in business forever.

So anyway, in this episode we do a spoiler-free review of Chronicle for you, in case you want to see that in the theater. We also get pretty spoil-heavy on "Horrible Bosses" and "The Adjustment Bureau," so make sure you've either seen them or don't care. Because we'll spoil it. We'll do it. Seriously, we don't care. We're crazy like that.

Lucky for you, there's not a whole lot you need to know for this brand-new episode, the ManCave MovieNight. So simply enjoy some Abita S.O.S. Pilsner, and let us know what you think at Podcast@LiveManCave.com!

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! Listen in as CraigMakk & Serious Jest host a very professional awards show with their good friend, Mr. Announcer Voice Guy. BOY, do those guys love Rampage Jackson.

Throughout it all, you'll learn about a bunch of shows and movies you may have never seen, get a better understanding of SOPA/PIPA than you ever wanted, spoil the shit out of two movies you've never heard of called "Quicksand" and "Rare Exports", and listen to the guys get drunk while arguing over the finer points of elves' rights. So sit back, grab a drink, and welcome to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

 Champagne of the Show: An awful, awful prosecco called Zardetto. GodDAMN you, Tim.

In Episode Six, we ring in the New Year ManCave-style! First off, we do a bunch of ManCave Resolutions while drinking the official "ManCave Champagne of the Show," called Zardetto Prosecco. It's pretty terrible. Please, don't blame us. Blame Tim. He sucks at his job.

Our Movie Review segment includes a full-spoiler discussion on "Quicksand" and "Rare Exports", which is probably the first time you've ever heard of either.

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.
