  • Mass Debate: Who is the Better Character? - Rambo vs The Terminator
    Jan 20 2026

    On this week's episode, bullets fly and logic dies as Kraig and special guest Ian Picciano square off over which cinematic badass reigns supreme: Rambo or The Terminator? Kraig bursts in shirtless and waving a flag, declaring Rambo an all-American meat missile, forged in the fires of freedom and shirtless vengeance. But Ian doesn’t flinch, calmly revealing that the Terminator is literally made of American steel and could crush Rambo like a juice box in a minefield. Kraig fumbles the flag and backpedals hard, scrambling to rebrand the Terminator as some secret ICE-funded robo-narc, only for Ian to shut it down by quoting Kraig’s own anti-Terminator rant from two minutes earlier. With his logic bleeding out, Kraig attempts a desperate pivot, shouting “Okay fine—Rambo vs Sarah Connor, then!” Moderator Jed just blinks in disbelief, while Hung Juror Kirk wonders aloud if they’re debating or auditioning for Expendables 7: Midlife Crisis Reloaded. It's flesh vs metal, freedom vs firmware, and the collapse of rhetorical dignity on this episode of Mass Debate!

  • Mass Debate: Which Dakota is Better? - South vs North
    Jan 13 2026

    On this week's episode, the battle lines are drawn straight across the Great Plains as special guest Andy Bateman and Jed face off over one burning question: Which Dakota is better - South or North? Andy comes out swinging with the geographic equivalent of a mic drop, firing off location names like Wall Drug, Mount Rushmore, and Sturgis with zero context but maximum devastation. Jed, meanwhile, stares into the void, realizing North Dakota may just be a Canadian buffer zone with oil money and stars. As Andy continues steamrolling with pure noun-based dominance, things take a surreal turn when he starts coaching Jed mid-debate, casually offering North Dakota facts like a bored TA watching a freshman flounder through a book report. Moderator Kraig tries to keep a straight face, while Hung Juror Kirk silently draws a buffalo on his notepad and writes “pray 4 Jed” underneath. Watch in real time as Jed’s will to argue evaporates somewhere between Minot and existential dread - on this absolutely directionless episode of Mass Debate!

  • Mass Debate: Which Character Was the Cooler 80s Toy? - Teddy Ruxpin vs My Pet Monster
    Jan 6 2026

    On this week's episode, it’s plush-on-plush carnage as Jed and JT try to stuff each other over which 80s icon was the cooler toy: Teddy Ruxpin or My Pet Monster? Jed rolls in hard on Team Ruxpin, calling him “the animatronic king of the toy aisle”, a storytelling legend with more charm than a Care Bear on quaaludes. But things take a hard emotional turn when Jed reveals he never actually owned a Teddy Ruxpin, tearfully confessing his childhood was filled with bootleg bedtime hugs from a stuffed sock stitched together by his nanny. JT counters from Team Monster, arguing My Pet Monster was the blue-furred underdog of childhood trauma, ugly enough to make any kid feel quite dashing by comparison. He paints Teddy as a bougie Pooh Bear knockoff, floating around in his airship like a rich kid who only played cassette tapes from NPR. As the sobs clash with sarcasm, Moderator Kirk tries to hold the threadbare argument together while Hung Juror Kraig slowly handcuffs himself in solidarity with the Monster. It’s prestige vs punk rock, circuits vs chains, and a whole lotta unresolved toy store trauma on this cuddly, chaotic episode of Mass Debate!
