This week, we have returned to Mad Llama Brewing for the second Rank 6 Taste Test we teased from the last time. Being able to sit down with the people who make the things we are trying has changed our perspective on taste tests.

For those unfamiliar, we are trying 6 different craft beers from Mad Llama and ranking them according to our scores. @JamesatWar joins us again, providing questions about the brewing process, choosing what beers to brew, and what even are brown cherries?

We also discuss the new #mastersoftheuniverse trailer. Another 80s cartoon live action movie remake. But with a cast of new faces can Hollywood nostalgia bait us 80s kids into watching this one?

Aarian gets inducted into the Awkward Offenders with another difficult offset dilliberation.

Beers featured in this episode:

Falalallama Winter Warmer

Baltic Llama Porter

Coffee Llama Stout

DA Winter Llama Double IPA

Tripel Llama Belgian style tripel

BRU Llama Hazy New England IPA

The Winter Olympics kicked off this week, but the Super Bowl—and its halftime controversies—completely dominated the headlines. We break down the backlash, the Turning Point USA alternative halftime show, and the surprising YouTube live-stream numbers that didn’t match the mainstream narrative. Headliner Kid Rock also had people scratching their heads after opening with “Bawitaba,” then switching songs—and even his name—mid-set to symbolize his personal evolution.

We’re also celebrating four years of the podcast and looking back at all the changes: rotating cohosts, format tweaks, and the move to full video. To mark the milestone, we’re running a little experiment to see who’s actually watching—so if you want the show to grow, likes and comments matter more than you think.

Elsewhere in the episode, Shoky survives his very first root canal and gives a full play-by-play of the experience—from the dread leading up to the appointment to the awkward reality of living with a temporary crown. Eating, talking, and even just existing normally suddenly became a challenge, and it sparked a larger conversation about how many people avoid the dentist entirely until something goes horribly wrong.

Shoky also gets pulled into the local scene as a judge at Frankenboltzzzz’s 5th annual chili cook-off, proving that building relationships in the community can lead to some truly unexpected invitations. From sampling wildly different chili recipes to the strange politics of judging comfort food, the event turned into one of the more bizarre highlights of the week.

Then comes another passionate rant about the direction of Emily in Paris season 5, with Shoky arguing that the finale undid character growth and took the story backwards. That leads into a broader discussion about modern TV writing, forced drama, and why so many shows struggle to stick the landing after a few successful seasons.

Shojy and Jefe jump in with a surprisingly heated debate about the supposed convenience of pre-ordering food. Instead of saving time, they argue it often leads to cold meals, longer waits, and more confusion than just ordering in person. The conversation spirals into the modern obsession with “efficiency” and whether some tech conveniences actually make everyday life worse.

Finally, the crew reacts to Amazon’s announcement that The Grand Tour will return with a younger cast just two years after the original trio signed off. That opens the door to a bigger conversation about whether iconic shows can survive reboots without the personalities that made them famous in the first place—and why history hasn’t been kind to attempts to replace legends like Clarkson, Hammond, and May.

The episode wraps up with a study comparing public opinions on Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter, leading to a candid (and chaotic) discussion about attraction, competition, and the very different ways men and women tend to support—or sabotage—each other.

This week we break down the new Masters of the Universe trailer and ask the big question: is this live-action He-Man faithful to the original, or loaded with modern changes?

Tyler throws out a very specific question about bathroom schedules, and we debate whether anyone actually has a set “toilet time.”

Shaun gives two updates on his dad as they continue an alternative approach to his cancer treatment. Meanwhile, much of the country froze, but Southeast Texas avoided the worst of the weather.

Shoky borrows Chad’s Bronco to haul equipment, which sparks a discussion about the annoyances of modern vehicles and Shoky’s terrible history with Ford. Are there cars some people just aren’t meant to own?

We also catch up on The Pitt, including a wild on-screen first involving a drained priapism. Chad’s viewing of The Wrecking Crew leads into a deep dive on Jason Momoa’s career, his background, and his frequent collaborations with Dave Bautista.

In entertainment news, Wicked: For Good gets snubbed at the Oscars, the Grammys bring out both classy and controversial moments, and Jelly Roll earns respect for his acceptance speech.

We also talk about Billie Eilish’s political comments and the unexpected backlash that followed.

Plus, a strange turn of events in Minneapolis as local officials shift course and agree to assist federal immigration enforcement.
