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!!!"

Episode 27 Part Nine - The Nightmare Is Over

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Dear god, it's a friggin' Christmas miracle. The Nightmare is finally over. All good and bad things must come to an end, and this gargantuan episode is no exception. Now go spend some time with your families, you animals.

 In this episode, CraigMakk invents the Internet for Drunks and then destroys it to protect us all; Serious Jest rates video games by their ability to be played by a wife; and the guys finish up their abruptly ended video game-themed discussion (thanks, Carla). You'll hear tons of video game reviews, discussions about the benefits of being a ManCave intern (Spoiler Alert: you do NOT have to texture map horse testicles), an insane amount of talk about the cutting-edge new release called Monopoly, and for some reason a weird discussion about going on a One Tree Hill binge. Oh, and you'll get your requisite beers talked about and/or drunk. This one had to end eventually, it might as well be today. Happy Halloweegivingsmas! So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 27 Part Eight - Milk on the Bootay

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Yes, this episode is still going. Yes, the guys are about to nerd out in an amazing way. And YES, it's true that Kate Upton and Carla Gugino pulled the plug on this one. Apparently Jest can really be a creep sometimes.

In this episode, CraigMakk admits that he will eventually be an announcer for a Blood Bowl match if Jest keeps annoying him; Serious Jest pitches a new line of Jizz t-shirts; and both guys nerd out quite a bit about all things video game-related. You'll learn all about the Library of Congress' ruling on game preservation; the ManCave's new "Ready Player Two" interactive gaming platform; how to give rappers the freedom to be shitty; the Battle Royale craze; and way too much about Kate Upton and Carla Gugino. Their electronic cease and desist to Jest is one for the ages. Oh, and a bunch of beers are involved, but is that really a surprise? So strap in, grab yourself a beer (and maybe a phone to play some Game of War), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 27 Part Seven - Death by VR

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The guys have been teasing you for a while, but now it's finally time to actually talk about Halloween. Yes, we know what month it is. Please don't ask. Just blame CraigMakk.

 In this episode, Serious Jest explains that a) it's not really Halloween until someone gets stabbed, and b) he can't tell white people apart; CraigMakk shares why Halloween is basically just Purge-lite; and the guys dig deep into how they spend the spookiest holiday of the year via TV shows, movies, and video games; enjoy a ManCave review of Haunting of Hill House; suffer through a scorching of shitty VR experiences; learn about why zombies are inherently racist; and prepare to be blown away by some insane future transportation technologies. Oh, and Yudi Pineda. All while the guys drink one of the best beers of the show ever. So strap in, grab yourself a beer (and some leftover Halloween candy), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" If you don't know (that this is a never-ending episode), now ya know, son. You might even learn a thing or two.

 In this episode, CraigMakk finally says something not totally shitty about the President (and almost immediately regrets it); Serious Jest educates you on the finer points of the PC Police Force; and the guys dig into a ton of topics that range from the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the "classic" film Soul Man, the horrifying death of Danye Jones, Alec Baldwin's fun crimes, and Big Bird, all while drinking some incredible beers that will make you jealous. As a bonus, you'll get to listen to the ultimate pimp host himself, Mr. Rogers, prove that he will always be a better person than either of these two knuckleheads. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

 In this episode, CraigMakk uncovers how fame somehow causes you to forget how to eat basic foods correctly; Serious Jest unleashes his pent up rage against Megyn Kelly for...well, basically everything; and both guys have a Serious conversation about the growing menace of outspoken racism in America, the Black Lives Matter movement, racial privilege, pop cultural commentary, these changing times we live in, and much, much more.

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" These are Strange Days we're living in, friends. Kanye's in the White House? Bill Cosby's NOT raping people?? Beer still tastes great??? Who can you rely on to cover it all for you? The goddamn ManCave, that's who.

In this episode, CraigMakk sides with women all over the world in the #MeToo movement 'cuz he's sensitive like that; Serious Jest schools you on why he certainly won't be voting with Team Clinton anytime soon; and the guys discuss some very serious topics involving the current rape culture climate, Trump the Manipulator, and Cosby's possible escape from the slammer.
