  • We’re Not Crazy, We’re Just Vocalizing It for You

    We’re Not Crazy, We’re Just Vocalizing It for You
    Feb 20 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 14th. Reed did not want to leave the house because it was freezing and officially requested permission to hibernate for the winter. The guys swap the lies parents tell their kids, from glowing orange eyes to pets “moving to Florida,” and debate whether you really lose skills if you don’t use them, including algebra, chess, cardiovascular surgery, and landing a plane. There’s an update on the monkeys running loose in St. Louis that now apparently have a goat, a discussion about new drinking guidelines and invented meals like linner, and a very real one million dollar moon hotel that may or may not be a scam. At some point it turns existential about names and whether a snake could eat itself. They swear they’re not crazy, they’re just vocalizing your thoughts for you.

  • Is Reed Stubborn or Just Right All the Time?

    Is Reed Stubborn or Just Right All the Time?
    Feb 19 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 13th. It’s 40 degrees and Reed is emotionally preparing to bring back the girlfriend approved jorts while Eddie proudly defends his brand new “kind of toe” water shoes for Mexico, launching an unexpected fashion war. On Hot Take Tuesday, a texter boldly claims there are only three Star Wars movies, the original trilogy, which sends Eddie into a passionate defense of the newer films while Reed happily stirs the pot. The guys agree social media needs a no politics switch, debate square pizzas and round boxes, question whether movie theater popcorn is only good because you’re trapped, and determine that farting in a jacuzzi might be the perfect crime. Eddie also hits Reed with the drive thru wiper test to prove he might be accidentally a jerk, which turns into a stubbornness test that gets a little too real, plus a viral conspiracy about Earth losing gravity for seven seconds in 2026, mystery monkeys on the loose, and a very questionable study claiming garlic makes your sweat sexier.

  • Chopplegangers and the Poison Grape Gamble

    Chopplegangers and the Poison Grape Gamble
    Feb 18 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 12th. The Bears beat the Packers and Eddie showed up glowing in full Bears gear, which Reed says makes him the villain of the office. It’s National Clean Your Desk Day, so naturally Reed gets called out for still having birthday decorations up, and then things spiral into “chopplegangers,” the viral term for your uglier doppelganger. AI compares the guys to John Goodman, Joey Fatone, Adam Driver and more, and no one feels good about it. Plus the poison grape gamble, the Doomsday Plane sighting, Packers fans being ranked dead last in drinking, and proof that Eddie’s trash talking is genetic.

  • Life Lessons to Improve Your Overall Worldly Experience From Reed

    Life Lessons to Improve Your Overall Worldly Experience From Reed
    Feb 17 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 9th. It’s the first full week of the year and Reed is already done with 2026 while Eddie is coming off a migraine day that took him out. Eddie does the math and reminds us we’re only 2% into the year, which somehow makes it worse. Reed rolls out his brand new self help series, Life Lessons to Improve Your Overall Worldly Experience From Reed, including revolutionary advice like stop checking your email, especially if you’re Eddie sitting on 51 unread messages and spiraling. The guys dive into wildly uncomfortable “favorite facts” about lost nukes, dinosaur kidney water, cockroach allergies, and inherited kinks, battle through a Top 5 where Reed mentally quits early, and officially retire Bandle after Karli wins and Reed gets very passive aggressive about it. Add in new dating trends, old school tech making a comeback, National Quitters Day, and Reed’s $370 strep throat rant about the healthcare system, and you’ve got a Friday that feels way longer than 2% of a year.

  • You’re Like an Eddie 2.0

    You’re Like an Eddie 2.0
    Feb 17 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 8th. With Eddie out, Biff holds down the fort and somehow turns into “Eddie 2.0,” sparking debates about eating your food in order of least favorite to favorite, whether guys can take bubble baths, and why showing up to someone’s house unannounced in the 90s was normal but would get you ignored by Reed today. Biff and Reed spiral over shower habits, inner monologues, and the mind blowing realization that we might just be renting our water, react to Hilary Duff’s unexpectedly bold new song, unpack a cheating scandal that turned into a lawsuit, pitch a questionable Jackass style stunt, and try to survive what feels like the longest first full week of the year.

  • We’re Old Dogs, We Don’t Need New Tricks

    We’re Old Dogs, We Don’t Need New Tricks
    Feb 5 2026
    It’s officially one month until Mexico, and Eddie is already setting boundaries by making it clear he will not be babysitting Reed, especially after hearing about the extremely white start to Reed’s Mexico playlist. Things spiral on National Pass Gas Day when Reed becomes genuinely concerned that kids don’t laugh at farts anymore, followed by a deep dive into wild CES tech like music lollipops, talking AI picture frames, Lego smart bricks, stair-climbing vacuums, and AI hair clippers that Eddie is convinced could put his wife out of a job. Reed brings an “asking for a friend” situation involving an email from an ex that immediately raises red flags. The guys revisit 1950s predictions about what 2025 was supposed to look like, then things get existential when they ask what ChatGPT would do if it were human for a day. The show wraps with a heated debate over pain scales, and Reed admitting he’s seven days into 2026 and still not dazzled.

  • Is This the Year of Eddie?

    Is This the Year of Eddie?
    Feb 4 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 6th. It’s the first full week of the new year and Reed is already questioning the whole new year new me thing while Eddie might be quietly entering his main character era. The guys kick things off by declaring war on coworkers who microwave food for more than five minutes, which turns into calling out the boss live on the air and learning his half power microwave strategy that only makes things worse. Eddie admits he wants to live a long life but not forever, Reed asks some wildly uncomfortable hypothetical questions about death, and things spiral into a very questionable ice cream based secret to living longer. They debate whether taking a trip is the ultimate relationship test, react to a list of banned words for the new year, and talk fake resolutions like canceling subscriptions and decluttering your closet. Reed also tries reverse manifesting to eliminate life’s most annoying inconveniences, Eddie reveals why the backwards hanger trend will not work for him, and science apparently says swearing makes you stronger.

    Reed’s Guide to Being a 1 Percenter
    Feb 2 2026
    Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from January 5th. It’s the first show of the new year and Reed is feeling refreshed, Eddie is still defending the Bears, and we quickly learn Reed may have been mentally checked out longer than he thought. National Whipped Cream Day takes a turn thanks to a Varsity Blues reference, Reed absolutely buries himself by calling Karli old during Name That Tune Piano Edition, and Eddie shocks everyone by winning for the first time ever and immediately credits his LASIK. Things get uncomfy with a new game about very real things doctors have had to remove from people’s bodies, then Reed has ChatGPT list his and Eddie’s flaws and how people actually experience them. The show wraps with Eddie’s ambitious New Year’s resolution, Reed explaining why resolutions usually fail, his guide to actually succeeding and being part of the 1 percent that sticks with it, and a heated debate over why some Americans think they could beat a grizzly bear in a fight.
