Episode 114 kicks off with the kind of pain you can only earn—two dozen deviled eggs deep and questioning every life decision that led you there. Let's just say Mike and Alex weren't the only ones suffering…shoutout to the spouses who survived the fallout.
From there, things get philosophical. If a decades-old fast food "happy meal" can sit in a glass case looking fresh as ever…what's stopping us from weaponizing those preservatives? Is immortality just a McRib away? Introducing the newest wellness trend: Dude Spa—where instead of cucumbers on your eyes, it's cheeseburgers on your face and fries exfoliating your pores.
Naturally, this spirals into Portland sports talk where the verdict is in: the Portland Trail Blazers are absolutely not making a meaningful playoff run—but at least we've got nostalgia. The guys dive headfirst into the Netflix throwback Jailblazers, reliving the glory days of the team, including the legend himself, Rasheed Wallace—yes, the same guy whose house once showed up on MTV Cribs and whose neighborhood Mike may or may not have personally downgraded for a brief period of time.
We've got stories about the "bad boys" era, questionable road trip decisions, and why buying a mansion in Dunthorpe is a great way to go broke strictly via property taxes. Meanwhile, back in reality, Mike is embarking on his farewell tour of smoked meat greatness—one last ride through Loowit and Smokin Oak, ending (as all great journeys should) with a heroic plate of brisket nachos.
It's episode 114: equal parts nostalgia, poor digestion, and a deep commitment to making the same bad decisions again…just with better seasoning.
