About the show
Where political correctness and decorum go to die. No subject matter is out of bounds, no censorship is considered appropriate, and everyone is encouraged to speak their mind. Whenever, wherever, and however you may be listening, escape from the monotony of the world and join us. It should be a lot of fun. We only have four rules for our open forum:
1.) Don't say "GD".
2.) If the headphones are on, it's fair game.
3.) Take the show seriously but not yourself.
4.) If you say it, you own it.
Unfiltered. Uncensored. Unhinged. Unapologetic.
This is Apex Live.

Apex Live 019 - Little Chode Dinosaur
February 9th, 2019 | 1 hr 42 mins
Steve decides that Hilary Swank is a female Willem Dafoe but without the acting chops. The start of the show catches Steve a little off-guard, and he wonders what animal has the deepest throat before ultimately deciding on his ex-wife. Steve also offers some wise words to the listeners. Can't argue with that. A spam email produces a coupon that seems mildly inappropriate, and we decide that "rubbers" or "jimmies" is funnier than "condoms". Our friend, sponsor, and frequent contributor Jim Ashley chimes in with a guest commentary submission. The reality of the 50 Shades series is discussed (SPOILER ALERT: It's not BDSM, it's assault and battery). Meanwhile, Brad absolutely refuses to watch Brokeback Mountain, despite Steve's insistence that it's a comedy and not a drama, and Steve discovers a new way to describe Godzilla's (or Godzirra's) son. We learn that a naked owl looks like it's been on meth but wonder if owls are immortal. AOC is saying stupid things again and we're all over it, just like Steve would be all over her if the scenario and proper motivation were presented. Steve enlightens us on the be-all-end-all universal fix for broken phones, we wonder if Ross Perot is dead (he's not) or if it's the Mandela Effect, and we have an honest discussion about cops. This episode's Virginia Tech Update involves the sadness of the necessity of buying an extra game against Marshall just to gain bowl eligibility. Brad offers a small writing update and discusses the merits of the TV show "Renegade". We wrap up with a discussion of the beach and hope for the new year. All this and more in episode 19!

Apex Live 017 - Is Feline AIDS a Thing?
November 21st, 2018 | 1 hr 50 mins
In the cold open, Steve opens the show by wondering some things about Magic Johnson's son, the truth of how Magic actually contracted the AIDS, and then something about goat AIDS. Finally, the show begins to the news that the Stolen Summer is over, and the phoenix has risen. Brad and Steve offer a brief life update, we are introduced to the possible future appearance of Ambien Steve, and Steve unveils the previously unknown fact that he has been a sleepwalker for much of his life. Experimental aircraft are deemed unacceptable, Steve finds out that Roy Halladay is dead, and the possibility arrives that Steve and Stephanie might already be common law married. Be thankful that you can wake up every morning and not be Richard Ojeda, embrace libertarianism if you are sick of an oversized, overreaching government, and extend a big middle finger to the FCC, IRS, and FDA. Brad talks about his recent surgeries and his new job as a court reporter. To close the first segment, Brad and Steve celebrate Thanksgiving by discussing things for which they are thankful (although CBS is not on Brad's list because of their decision to cancel "Salvation").
In the second segment of the program, we welcome Jim Ashley, owner-operator of Blue Gold Title Research, friend, longtime listener, and inaugural sponsor of the show. Jim discusses the nature of his business, the upcoming West Virginia football game against Oklahoma on Black Friday, and his recent international travels before offering his feedback on Apex Live presenting his own Top 5 Desert Island Women list.
All this and more is prominently featured in episode 17 of the podcast. Let us all give thanks for friends, family, faith, and Apex Live. #GoldustJohnson #FelineAIDS #WatchYourSix #ESK

Apex Live Highlight - Special Podcast Announcement

It's a very special announcement for Apex Live. Big news for the future of the show!

Apex Live 016 - Birdshot is the Best
October 7th, 2018 | 2 hrs 25 secs
In the cold open, we find out from Steve that Stephanie lost a bet with some serious consequences. Steve recaps his California adventure, which did not include visits to Slab City or Skid Row. The rural life is better than metros; violence, the insanity, you all can have it. We'll take the slow-paced suburban or rural life over tourist cities and metros any day. There is a correlation between the city making all of the mainstream entertainment being the same city that makes all the porn. The ignorance and stupidity of going to the beach and eating at Long John Silver's. However, Captain D's lobster rolls are unapologetically amazing. Justin Novaria chimes in with his "Talkin' with the TeddyBear" listener commentary on how modern feminism is destroying our world. In the second half, Steve offered friendly, solicited advice. We have another VIRGINIA TECH UPDATE! The Hokies never disappoint... except when they disappoint themselves and their fans. HBO is out of the boxing business and while that means no more Max Kellerman, it's also the end of a 45-year era. Finally, we revisit the brilliance of Ben Shapiro's reminder that facts don't care about your feelings and make a big show announcement. #WatchYourSix #SocialismKills #HaglerBeatLeonard #MaxKellermanIsAButthole
