NOW YOU MADE IT AWKWARD Ep186: "Time Travel - Now With More Racism"

May 8, 2026

2hr 45 min

Ed is back! Our favorite Venezuelan energy enthusiast is in the cave for the first time. We wanted him to come back and actually get to talk about his passions.
We do discuss alternate energy production, why the world is scared of nuclear, and more! Oh and Ed joins the offenders with one of the more interesting offsets we've come up with.
Tyler asks us what our favorite occurrence of censorship in media is. Such as bleeps or silence in songs or the weird way podcasts will cut some words and not others.

NOW YOU MADE IT AWKWARD Ep184: "It All Comes Back To Jesus"

Apr 18, 2026

2hr 2 min

This week Shoky is on the road heading to Colorado for a Nerd Culture Ministries Summit. Since Shaun's house is literally on the way he stops in for a visit.
We finally get to reveal the Episode 200 commemorative challenge coin that will be on sale soon for the live shows!
Shoky shares the story missing from last week on how Mrs Shoky (Jessica) lost her phone at the movie theater and the journey to find it! 3 hours. Longer than the movie itself!
Shaun recently watched the latest Avatar: Fire and Ash. We go over how cgi looks worse despite it being the best it's ever been. Also how did humans figure out that there was a super special hormone inside a space whales brain?
Tyler asks: if there's any bands we loved that fell off over time? Shoky points out Korn, Metallica, and even FLAW. Turn's out that Shaun loves R&B music when he works out. Tyler also brings up a video of Korean Jesus ascending into the sky on a crane. 2026 is wild.
Recently the Shoky's have been re-watching "The Chosen" and "The Passion of The Christ" over Easter weekend, which led Jessica to ask: "why did Judas betray Jesus?"
On a totally different note we go over the newest season of THE BOYS on Amazon and how the tone has dramatically shifted to current day politics and how TV and movies need to stop before they lose audiences.
Along with that the new Lord of The Rings movie is on the way! "The Hunt for Gollum" and if you're like Shoky, you have no idea what that is. Shaun knows though!
Also, have you ever noticed the similarities between the Lord of The Rings books and the Bible?

NOW YOU MADE IT AWKWARD Ep183: "Talk To Your Doctor About Astrophage"

Apr 10, 2026

1hr 58 min

This week we review the new movie "Project Hail Mary." It's mostly non-spoiler talk, if you wan't the full review you'll have to sign up for Patreon.
SNL decided that the casting of a "Black Snape" in the upcoming Harry Potter series was hilarious. And rightly so. Not to mention problematic if you know the source material.
Tyler asks us if we had imaginary friends as children. Leading us to wonder if his house is haunted since his daughter has a new invisible acquaintance.
We also mourn the loss of Shaun's dad, Kelly, who passed away last week. We awkwardly listen to his voice message, realizing that it was a recorded a few hours BEFORE he died.
And with that discussion Shoky tell's how he is going through a big season of change. We talk about how we handle change. Good or bad. Let us know in the comments what you might be going through and how you handle it.Offical NYMIA Gear link: https://tinyurl.com/4t9a5ue7
