In lieu of intro or outro music this week, please observe a moment of silence for our Belgian super fan, Hambone Spangley, who passed away (somewhat) peacefully last October.

0:45 shooting the shit 11:00 sports talk 29:30 favorite Chuckles and the Sandman moments 41:00 biggest takeaways from the past year 1:10:30 what we’re feeling especially grateful for

Sandy goes YOLO on some GME stock, a multitude of current events are discussed (including pot smokers ruining the environment, man), and Mr. Chuckles and Mr. Sandman discuss women in history that have been particularly inspiring to them.

Two friends of the pod/cast join and chaos ensues. Budweiser lights, black holes, and smells of the holiday season. Happy holidays from Chuckles and the Sandman to you and those you love.

In the latest episode of the pod/cast, Chuckles and the Sandman take a deep dive into why we have the viewpoints we have. How does our worldview affect our attitudes and opinions? What the heck can we do about it? In addition, Chuckles eats 25 apples in 4 days, and Sandman is skeptical about it all.

Today we explore the concept of a meritocracy and America’s current relationship with it (hint: it’s complicated 😘). We also quickly discuss the DOTW (douche of the week). CHUCKLES’ AUDIO IS VERY BAD IN CERTAIN MOMENTS AND HE IS DEARLY SORRY FOR ANY TROUBLES THIS MAY CAUSE YOU AND YOUR’S.

Today we talk about how to count cards in blackjack, the profound impact of childhood trauma, pathetic corporate marketing, and the harsh dose of reality that many dog owners need to hear. Call 1-800-522-4700 or text 1-800-522-4700 if you have a gambling addiction and need help, or email [email protected] for less professional but *possibly* just as effective help.

Chuckles and the Sandman tell a few jokes, and then get into the serious stuff. The Sandman talks about pivotal moments in his understanding of race relations (learned through Facebook of all things), and Chuckles struggles with being a Minneapolis resident and feeling pulls from each political direction. Feel free to send comments and/or questions to [email protected], and thanks for listening.

The Sandman exhibits patience while his cohost blathers on. Is Old Crow or Mich Golden Light a better beverage choice? Is “The Left” losing Mr. Chuckles? Are “first kisses” usually public? Does “everyone” in Belgium listen to this podcast?

Today we talk shit about Mike Rowe and his peculiar pledges. Chuckles and the Sandman also bring up the fact that they used to share a closet together.
