Live From The Mancave!!!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" If you thought shit was weird on this show before, you seriously ain't heard nothin' yet...but you'll definitely taste the spritz. In this episode, the guys discuss one of their wackiest and terrifying stories yet (and they've talked about Harold Camping, so you know this is crazy). Lucas (from "Lucas Builds the Future") rebuilds his childhood friend, and things quickly go off the rails. You'll also learn that CraigMakk knows his Thunder Lizards; Serious Jest explains how worried he is about his PSE&G bill gaining sentience; and (semi-)special guest Brian shares a private story about absorbing his twin's ovaries (we told you it was weird!); plus, you'll hear about some absolutely delicious beers that you'll want to try immediately. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!! Because it's time to make friends with our future robot overlords before it's too late.

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" There's still more "The Batman" talk to be had, and the guys still have beers to drink. Even when they're not on the same page, the guys are always reading the same comic book. In this episode, CraigMakk is held hostage on his own show by the last person you would expect (or would you??); Serious Jest explains his proclivity for Furries; and returning guest "Brian Brian" tries his best to up his beer game (you be the judge); plus, they discuss the never-ending struggle between Order & Chaos that makes young Batman so fascinating; you'll hear why RPat really was a perfect fit for this role; and be blown away when the guys somehow bring up Castro & Cuba when discussing this red, rainy version of Gotham. All the while, you'll hear about some incredible beers while they breakdown the newest rendition of the Dark Knight. So, strap in, grab a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Because there really is a thin line between vigilante and murderous S&

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Emerge from the shadows and listen to a couple of guys nerd out over a man in a batsuit. Yeah, they should be ashamed, but are they? Come on...you know better than that. In this episode, the guys break down the newest take on the Caped Crusader, "The Batman," in a way only the ManCave can. CraigMakk explains how he has perfected the art of projecting the projecting; Serious Jest admits that he absolutely meets the criteria of being a podcast co-host; and first-time special guest Brian Brian brings the all-new category of "Snow of the Show" like a damn gangster. Plu,s you'll hear the guys discuss whether Riddler had adequate reasons to kill the upper class; dissect the ideas of vengeance versus hope versus justice; the theology of the Batman; plus drink some pretty bad-ass alcoholic beverages and try to keep things on track (especially Brian...hard liquor is a rough mistress when podcasting). So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCa

Welcome back to "ManCave at Midnight," brought to you by the creators of the world-famous* "Live from the ManCave!!!" podcast! Seriously, for such a small town, there sure are a lot of secrets. Sounds like just the place for people who like this podcast! In the second chapter of episode 2, the guys continue to tear into Book 2: Psalms. Throughout their conversation, CraigMakk shows off his insufferable 'I listen to lyrics and say semi-insightful things' schtick once again; Serious Jest takes another opportunity to make everyone uncomfortable by sharing what makes a 'Serious Jest-kind of lady;" and very special (now pretty much a regular) guest Mork is once again way too smart for these guys by actually sharing educated thoughts on the directorial magic of this show (why he wastes his time with these guys, no one will ever know). And they obviously continue to imbibe outstanding alcoholic beverages. So, strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "ManCave at Midnight!" And be glad you're not going to

Welcome back to "ManCave at Midnight," brought to you by the creators of the world-famous* "Live from the ManCave!!!" podcast! It's about to kick off, but somebody needs their rat poison first... In the first chapter of episode 2, the guys continue down the rabbit hole of Book 2: Psalms. Throughout the conversation, CraigMakk shows his true feelings about middle-aged Beatles fans; Serious Jest reveals that he compares every character to Casey Anthony; and very special (returning) guest Mork shows off his absolute disdain for everyone's handkerchief etiquette. So, strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "ManCave at Midnight!" Because when was the last time someone asked you how your day was? *not actually world-famous Beer(s) of the Show: - Ohishi Whisky 10 Year Brandy-Aged - 41.7% - Broxton Brewing's Dark Charge Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout - 13% - Scytale 427 Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout - 11.8%

Welcome back to "ManCave at Midnight," brought to you by the creators of the world-famous* "Live from the ManCave!!!" podcast! Want to hear the guys dive down deep into the critically acclaimed Netflix show, "Midnight Mass"? Dear God, I hope so, otherwise you came to the wrong corner of the Internet... In the Second Chapter of episode one, the guys (including very special guest, Mork1911) wrap up their incredibly detailed discussion of Book One: Genesis. Throughout the conversation, Jest shares some very special moments from his own incredibly loving childhood; CraigMakk discusses how every key moment in his formative years was leading to the moment where he'd "be a podcaster one day!" (and reminds you multiple times...very loudly); and Mork explains why he thinks a little tough love from dear old Dad never hurt nobody (except for all of the associated emotional scarring, but that doesn't count, right?). All while discussing how "Midnight Mass" perfectly encapsulates the difficulties of being a parent (and a

Welcome to "ManCave at Midnight," brought to you by the creators of the world-famous* "Live from the ManCave!!!" podcast! Want to hear the guys dive down deep into the critically acclaimed Netflix show, "Midnight Mass"? Dear God, I hope so, otherwise you came to the wrong corner of the Internet... In the First Chapter of episode one, the guys are ruthlessly dissecting the first half of Book One: Genesis. They discuss all the important story beats, such as the upside to having your elderly Mom walk in on you while you're trying to help get your old friend pregnant; what songs are best to enjoy while witnessing the aftermath of a deadly car accident; and debate whether or not there always needs to be one overly pushy religious lady that everyone hates living in any small town, at least according to Hollywood; all while enjoying some incredibly solid alcoholic beverages. So, strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome to "ManCave at Midnight!" It's not the hell you expect, but it's the hell you deserve. Beer(s

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" And more specifically, welcome to the CHRISTMAS ERA (according to Mr. Jest)! The Christmas season continues, at least in the ManCave! In this final part of a now world-famous holiday traditional episode, the guys find themselves prepared to pick two more "Watch That Shit" flicks to watch next to the roaring fireplace while sipping some hot cocoa. But only these two guys can take the simple act of selecting a movie to watch and turn it into a full-length podcast game. Right when you got all snuggly to await Father Christmas, the dreaded White Elephant makes his way into the ManCave and craps out a competition to determine the next "WTS" films! And once again, game show host Jim Sardonic and special (and way too mature for this show) guest AJ get dragged down into the manure with them. It may not be the safest, fastest, most efficient, grown-up, or even enjoyable way to select a movie, but it sure is ONE way to do it. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome b

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The Christmas Movie Watch That Shit (also known as ManCave Movie Homework Assignment) episode continues, and it's about to get all 'stop motion'-y up in here. Ever wanted to know every movie that Tim Burton has ever made? Well, you're about to partake in a pretty deep dive into his entire filmography. In part two of this holiday-themed episode, the guys are joined by Jim Sardonic and new guest of the show, A.J. (producer of awesome podcasts such as "Juxtaposition" & "Greenhouse Podcast") as they break down "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Listen as Serious Jest can't tell the difference between stop motion animation and puppetry; CraigMakk continues his descent into medical marijuana-fueled madness; Jim the Grinch tells you how he really feels about the Christmas season (spoiler alert: he HAAAAAATES it); and A.J. tries (and fails) to class up the joint by being the classiest guest ever. You can't blame him for trying. So, sit back, grab yourself a beer (or liqu

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" And Happy GODDAMN New Year! 2022 can't possibly be worse than last year, right? Right?!?!? Please be right.... Anyway, the guys got together just before Christmas to celebrate an age-old holiday tradition, one that they have respected and honored since time immemorial. That old tradition of getting together over the Internet, arguing about nonsense and Christmas movies, getting wrecked, and passing out in front of their laptops! Even better, they resurrected an old ManCave favorite: Jim Sardonic!! (Just kidding, he's not thaaaat old. They actually invited Jim on then forced him to enjoy the return of "WATCH THAT SHIT!!!" It was a helluva night.) In this holiday-themed episode, the guys finally get to talk some shit about their WTS choices from approximately 100 years ago. In Part One, they discuss and rate the 1974 'classic,' "Black Christmas;" talk a lot about weed (medicinal and otherwise); discuss the value of older filmmaking techniques; and get a laugh out

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The guys continue their dive into weed culture by bringing an actual expert on...and quickly realize they're out of their depth. So they bring back the video game talk to sound smart again! In this episode, the guys bring a very special guest onto the show to educate them on all things weed: Dasheeda Dawson of "The WeedHead"! Listen as Dasheeda shares all about how she started "The WeedHead," where her expertise in cannabis came from, and how weed is a magical substance handed down directly from the gods themselves. CraigMakk will celebrate that someone finally agrees with him about modern Eddie Murphy; Serious Jest delves deep into his (admittedly shallow) understanding of Crypto; and Dasheeda lets you know her innermost thoughts about Ryan Reynolds (SPOILER ALERT: they're NSFW). Throughout it all, you'll learn why some people think Robert Pattison is good at being rich & white; learn what exactly a "wunt" is; and listen to the guys nerd out about their favor

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Like your favorite childhood tv shows, this is a very special episode where one grown man figures out how to get out of the bathroom once and for all. In this episode, the guys continue their discussion of recent important life events, except this one is all about weed. Get ready for a wild ride through the jungles of medicinal marijuana with your guide, CraigMakk! You'll befriend Gerald, your friendly neighborhood Weed Liaison (tm); listen to a traumatizing experience of eating the wrong brownie at the right party; hear how dipping your toe in the weed pond is not unlike both playing blackjack and buying a toothbrush at CVS; plus you might actually uncover some real facts about marijuana that aren't just fodder for jokes...but probably not. So strap in, grab yourself some of your favorite edibles, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Just don't get too high and pass out, you potheads. Want to learn more about marijuana, legal or otherwise? Check out the

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Get ready to learn a thing or two about how you can help change the world. No joke here...this is some actual serious shit with Serious Jest. In this episode, Serious Jest is going to share some important life changing events in recent months, including how he is working to help improve police procedures in his home state. While he drops some knowledge, get ready to learn about how TPS reports (and the fear of having to complete them) might actually save your life one day; deliberate the daily risks we undertake by not having a Training Officer Bruce Lee; listen to hostage negotiation and de-escalation tactics with Flavor Flav; plus a whole lot more about how you too can help improve interactions with the police. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" It may not always be hilarious, but it's always interesting. (And don't worry....there are some jokes in there too, you big babies.) Wondering how you can learn more? Check o

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Wait, we're only on the third topic? And they have HOW MANY left to go?? Oh crap, I think we're going to be doing this for a long, long time... In this episode, the guys continue their wild banter over 'fun stuff' from last year, so maybe you'll learn something. But probably not. You'll hear all about how Jest's favorite book is the Netflix series; CraigMakk explains why Jackie Robinson's best performance was in Tenet; you'll learn about Jest's secret body count; become a beta tester for Sadomasochism: The Game; all while listening to the guys get ever drunker still. And don't think this is ending anytime soon...you know better than to think such foolishness. So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

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!!!" Beer(s) of the Show: Three 3's ThriceCream with Chocolate Cookie Pieces WeldWerks Puesta del Sol Vienna Style Lager

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 ar

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

Welcome back to Part 30 of "Live from the ManCave!!!" The guys invite a couple of special guests in the ManCave for their brand new bit, "Old to the New," and one superhero hides in the shows. You may never see him, but you sure will hear him! Get ready for part one of "Old to the New," a new ManCave bit where the guys discuss their favorites from 2019 and most anticipated of 2020 for each of the following categories: TV shows, video games, mobile apps, and comic universe character.

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

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Get ready for something you've never seen from the ManCave before...no jokes in this intro. 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. So (as always) strap in, grab yourself a beer, prepare to become a better person, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"
