NOW YOU MADE IT AWKWARD

This week we are joined by local activist James Fletes. His primary cause is investigating the FLOCK cameras that have been popping up in cities nationwide. We discuss the purpose of the cameras, what they have been used for, incidents where they've been used to wrongly accuse people, and what you can do to see them removed from your community.

This week! We are back talking about burning the boats, but with a new voice. We discuss bad promotional design. A friend of the show created an image for a party without taking into consideration what meaning the image may convey to the world. 
Shoky updates us on how things are going since his dad passed away. Dealing with living parents can sometimes be harder than dealing with the dead ones. 
Graham Platner has dropped out of the Senate Race after sexual assault allegations. 
We discuss energy drink flavors and how Echelon has run into some legal issues around their lemonade/tea flavor and also the Goth Girl Spit. 
And we question whether most school zones are even legitimate in this day and age.

We are back once again Awkward Ones. This week Shoky had to repair his car while repairing his car. Apparently more was wrong than he knew. 
HBO's  "House of the Dragon" is back with a heck of start to the season. Introducing a new dragon called Sheepstealer that is....special.
Amazon has 2 big hit seasons that also just wrapped up with Clarkson's Farm season 5 and The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4. 
With the British farming show concluding on a bombshell that something is going on in the bovine industry. Undetectable tuberculosis that spells doom for any farm, but even if it an animal is proven to not be infected, your entire farm must remain locked down, you lose an animal (or 3) with no recompense from the government. Yet they get to set and enforce all the rules unquestioned.
Tyler writes in to discuss the concept of Purgatory in the Catholic faith. If it is a place where you are to cleanse yourself of sin to get to Heaven, why can the living buy your freedom from it? Interesting idea.
Sophie Cunningham gifted the internet a new meme template with her recent "pointing" at an opposing team member during a game. Why has women's basketball become so violent and why is such violence allowed against some players and not others? Such as Caitlin Clark.
Also Venezuela had a tremendous earthquake. Devastating the area and killing thousands. While a very serious situation, we do have to point out that it is Ed's fault. 
Speaking of fault, it is apparently the US' fault that French people have died in the European heat wave. We don't know how, or why.

It's a rush job this week! We had a week off and then almost missed this week. There's a lot going on in the Shoky household. The air conditioning broke leaving our home stagnating around 83 degrees for days. Only just being fixed hours before our recording time. 
Welcome back Chad! It's been a long time since we've heard from our Vinyl Daddy! He was gone for essentially a month! He even missed Episode 200 part 1. Which we discuss as a teaser for part 2. Make sure you join us on July 11, 2026 at Mad Llama Brewing in Spring!
We do have some very sad new as well: Shoky's dad passed away last week. 92 years old. And 2 days before Father's Day. There has been much pain and suffering in our family lately. At least his has ended. 
Rest in Peace Bob.
Also, European immigrants have been flooding the US.....for the World Cup Championship! And they are loving America! So many are claiming that America is not what they've been told. Beautiful, friendly, bountiful, and MASSIVE. So why is it they think our country is horrible? Who is telling them that?

This week we have a visitor! And Tim from Fortifed Iron Worx. Part of our church family. There is a new Masters of the Universe movie out. We went to see it! Does this 80s reboot connect with kids today or is it just a bunch of 80s kids reliving their childhood?We give our review. Full spoilers on the Patreon. Also we have the outcome of the Carmelo Anthony murder trial. This was a highly charged case since day one. Can you stab someone unprovoked and claim self defense? And can a jury in 2026 convict a young black man without starting riots?

This is it! Your last chance to join us for Episode 200 LIVE part 1! It's going down tomorrow night! 
My normal cohosts are still gone, but Rodney came to visit! We discuss a couple of heavy topics. Like: do you want your flush handle on the same side as your toilet paper? Oh and a Standford Medicine study was released back in December covering a certain cause for Myocarditis. You should probably know more about that, but I bet you weren't even aware.
Also we have another new Awkward Offender with unique super powers!

With my usual cohost out this week we have a visitor: OTHER KEVIN! We go over the negative reviews of "The Mandalorian and Grogu" and whether or not it's deserved. Should Star Wars just give up on movies? Should this have just been a final season of the show instead of a movie? 
The Boys has concluded its 5 season run. This final season has been a rollercoaster for the fans. Both boring or rushed. Did the ending stick the landing or did they dig too much into modern day politics? 
Shoky watched the "Super Mario Galaxy" movie and give his review of the latest Nintendo property film. Did you like it? Do you feel like it held up to the first one or was it just a cash grab sequel?

This week we find out the government held a summit with religious leaders to prep them about the truth of aliens being real. In unrelated news: Alton Brown says he won't eat octopus ever again because they are clearly intelligent beings. Jefe is dealing with a broken Steve messing up his sleep and eating schedule. And with schedules on the mind, Shoky asks what your bathroom schedule is? How often are you going number 2? Also are you a stander, or a leaner? These are questions no one should be asking. But that is what we do here.

This week we discuss the rise in hantavirus cases after a South American cruise goes wrong. Sparking pandemic fears again. Daredevil: Born Again just wrapped up and Shoky gives his review of the series. Tyler asks what TV series could you remove the finale, or even final seasons and be happier? And with the success of the IT movie revival, and subsequent series; what Stephen King movies would you like rebooted in modern day?
