The Important Questions
Dave Skiles
Four hosts and four questions each week. This over-the-top podcast seeks to argue that each crazy question is the world's most important one.

Episode 13 - Tickle My Elmo & Gargle My Balls
Shortly after the recording of this week's episode, Smitty, Scott, and Rico all changed their mind on their determination of the 'Funny or Dumb' segment which is definitely funny and maybe even hilarious. Many are saying that. Many good people. And although 13 is unlucky, we feel today is your lucky day because you get to hear us finally hash out why yelling SUCK MY BALLS is a better insult that FIST MY ANUS. I know you've always wondered. Here's the topics this week. Is it weird to ask for a bite of other peoples' food?What video game do you have the most hours logged?Midshow: Funny or Dumb "Hnoles"What makes a sexual act a good or bad insult?What are business casual clothes for?Give us a rating on your podcast directory of choice.

Bonus Episode April 2023 - REAL OR FAKE
Partially because we're in the midst of an ad run, and partially because we love you all deeply, the first ever bonus episode of The Important Questions is a public resource for everyone to hear. Hopefully this will be the final straw that makes you realize you want to pay the $1 per month to receive an episode the last Tuesday of each month. Each bonus episode will be different, but they all will entertain. On today's bonus episode, we ask and answer only one question. How well can we differentiate a real from a fake news article in a competition style format? There can be only one winner and one loser dunce. We all hope you enjoy this once in a lifetime freebie!
