About this Episode
Jake Morris, a founding member of Apex Combat and member of the inner circle, sits in for the first half of the show because Steve is stuck an hour away for work. In what amounts to two episodes in one, our longest show yet hits the ground running as Brad and Jake discuss bums, their schedule and drinking habits, and how the word can pertain to both the financially disadvantaged and opponents in the world of boxing that refuse to run. Brad briefly addresses the unintentional hiatus for the show in recent weeks, speaking openly about the adverse effects but without naming names. Continuing in the sports heavy first half of the program, Brad and Jake preview and discuss the 2018 West Virginia football season, rant about the stupidity of the current playoff system, ridicule Pitt and Virginia Tech, revisit the worst possible memory for Pittsburgh Pirates fans and one of the best in the history of the Atlanta Braves, and share some of their best stories from section 103 at Mountaineer Field. Steve is back in the studio for the second half of the episode, and he has had enough of bad days of work in a certain local area. He has also had enough of work in general, and does not hesitate to air his grievances. Dave Markert is called out for bleaching his hair and Steve discusses his recent family vacation to what he calls Hillbilly Heaven in Tennessee. Brad makes an official book announcement for 2019, and the perils of social media, greed, and the materialistic mindset are talked about in context of decision-making and the influence that we have on people whether we intend to or not. Steve compares being intubated for surgery to deep-throating in the most intimate sense, the words "Date Rape Dessert" make an appearance and the reason why is inexplicable, and acronyms for someone's name are presented despite neither host having any involvement. In the final segment, Steve vents his frustration with the FDA and their intrusion upon almond milk, Brad and Steve present their Top 5 Desert Island Women lists, and Brad closes the show with a thank you note for his inner circle. This is not one to be missed, no matter who you are. #WatchYourSix
