  • #271 - Rough Hands / Kitchen Scars & Oysters / Circumcision Myths / Office Woes / Plane Crashes
    Jan 25 2025

    In this week’s spicy episode of The Broskiedoodles, we dive into all the essential topics no one asked for but everyone needs. We kick it off with MLB gossip about Shohei Otani and Roki Sasaki joining the Dodgers, then roast the Oakland A's as they couch-surf between Sacramento and Vegas. Naturally, that leads us to the deep emotional complexities of being a fan of teams that ghost cities.

    Then, Chef Maurice gives us a behind-the-scenes look at life in the kitchen—burn scars, raw potatoes as first aid (yes, really), and some dubious gatekeeping tips for handling stubborn oysters. Oh, and did we accidentally sprinkle in a debate about circumcision’s global popularity and why priests always seem to have moisturized hands? Absolutely. Add in some light Catholicism commentary, and you've got an episode hotter than Maurice’s plancha.

    We talk about a little culinary misadventure—aka, how to almost burn your house down while trying to cook chicken. (Spoiler: blackened chicken isn’t supposed to happen in a boiling pot.) From there, we somehow end up debating office life vs. manly jobs (because who doesn’t want to escape soul-sucking Zoom calls for deep-sea fishing or trucking across America?). Oh, and did we go dark? Yeah, we went dark—plane crashes, survivor guilt, and the mystery of the Malaysian flight that disappeared into thin air.

    We dive into the irrational (but relatable) fear of flying, spiced up with bird migration conspiracies and questionable pilot choices—spoiler: Kiko’s got preferences! We also dissect Trump’s meme coin shenanigans (Melania’s got one too?), Elon Musk’s visa ideas, and how billionaires now dictate the political meta like it’s a gaming strategy. There’s a healthy dose of sarcasm, uncomfortable truths, and, of course, wild takes on everything from junkie yoga to why your cat definitely needs tuna. Buckle up; this one’s a wild ride!

  • #270 - Wake Up & Stretch / MLMs Rabbit Holes / Crypto Ponzi Schemes / YT Censorship / Dreams and DMT
    Jan 16 2025

    In this episode of The Broskiedoodles Podcast, we stretch our imaginations—and our hamstrings—while diving into the world of multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes. From "stretchy-stretchy" yoga mats to sketchy pyramid pitches, we unpack the wild ride of MLMs like Herbalife, Mary Kay, and LuLaRoe. Spoiler: those leggings? Not as juicy as promised. We also dissect the MLM cult vibes, why people fall for them, and how they could leave you with a garage full of useless merch and no cash. It’s funny, spicy, and a little sad—kind of like those parties with no babes, just whiteboards. Stay woke, stay stretchy, and avoid pyramid schemes like your life depends on it.

    Spoiler: overpriced makeup and soccer star endorsements are involved. We also explore the bro version of MLMs: crypto scams! Plus, is YouTube's censorship finally loosening up? Will we be able to curse freely again without being banished to algorithm hell? Oh, and let's not forget our weekly dose of relatable struggles—returning groceries, taking public transport, and asking beer prices like pros. It's the podcast you didn’t know you needed but can’t stop listening to.

    We also dive into the chaotic world of dreams and what they might mean—or not mean—because let’s face it, that dream dictionary is just making stuff up. We debate whether dreams are cosmic messages or just your brain throwing a rave while you're knocked out. Oh, and did you know DMT, the "holy grail" of psychedelics, might be what makes your dreams feel like a Christopher Nolan movie? Yeah, let that simmer.

    We get personal with sleep struggles, anxiety, and how your mind loves to torture you at 3 a.m. with a highlight reel of your worst thoughts. Add a splash of Miami nostalgia (fraud capital, but it’s home) and some thoughts on finding Zen—even if it’s just while cooking or gaming. Don’t miss the part where we call out life’s overpriced milk and how gratitude might be the cure to modern-day stress. Sarcasm included, free of charge.

  • #269 - Piracy / Counterfeit Fashion / Food Appropriation / Funniest Cuisines / Tortilla vs. Paella
    Jan 11 2025

    Welcome to The Broskiedoodles Podcast, where we serve up the spiciest takes on piracy, counterfeit goods, and why your fake Louis Vuitton purse might just be helping the brand. We dive deep into the underground world of pirated movies, soccer jerseys with missing logos, and the ethical dilemma of buying that “Balenciaga” shirt for $20. Kiko shares his dreams of pure gold chains (not the diluted kind, thank you very much), and we debate whether piracy is the worst thing to happen to art—or secretly its best marketing tool. With all the sarcasm and wit you love, this episode will leave you questioning if that knockoff was really a knockoff move.

    This week, we unpack the joys of pirated CDs (because nothing screams childhood like a rock album ending with a Vallenato track), rant about overpriced soccer streaming in Spain, and question if pirating games is truly a crime—or just a moral grey area. Then, we sink our teeth into the spicy topic of culinary "piracy." Hawaiian pizza? Totally Canadian. Sushi rolls? Americanized to death. But hey, it's all delicious, right? We even spill the tea on global cuisines—some hits, some misses, and a lot of hummus. Oh, and the tingling sensation between your you-know-whats? Yeah, we covered that too. Don’t miss this wild ride of sarcasm, spice, and unsolicited opinions!

    We dive into a spicy top 15 list of world cuisines. From the Mediterranean glory of Greek salads (perfect for thong season) to debating Italian pasta vs. Japanese ramen supremacy, we’re spilling the tea (or sake). You'll hear about Portuguese treats, the fishy legacy of Macau, and a shoutout to the unsung heroes of Taco Bell-inspired nostalgia. Plus, we get political (kind of) with Taiwan’s microchips and the curious culinary politics of Macau and Hong Kong. Oh, and we solve the mystery of what exactly Australian cuisine is. Spoiler: It's not kangaroo.

    Join us for laughs, sarcasm, and a bit of culinary chaos—this is one menu you don’t want to miss!

  • #268 - Airport Chaos / Airplane Casinos & Strippers / Candles & Colognes / Memes Gone Viral
    Jan 3 2025

    Welcome to Broskiedoodles—your favorite podcast to laugh, cry, and question humanity. In this episode, we tackle the world of airport security, drug smuggling shows, and the mind-boggling miracle of human flight. From Madrid’s architectural wonder of an airport to the absurdity of smuggling booger sugar in a teddy bear, we’ve got sarcasm flying high.

    But wait—what if airplanes were more like Vegas? We brainstormed genius (and mildly illegal) ideas for transforming your next flight into the ultimate party in the sky. Think airplane casinos, Hooters wings at 50,000 feet, and stewardesses hosting Family Feud. It's innovative, wild, and maybe just slightly impractical.

    We tackle the really pressing issues: why planes should ditch seats for poofs and casinos (RIP Nana in turbulence), speed dating in the sky, and the very serious candle vs. incense debate. Are candles a scam? Is a $30 "Munich Christmas Market" scent worth it, or just a Nazi plot? Plus, a deep dive into cologne culture and why smelling like "First-Time Virginity" might be the future of Yankee Candle. It's comedy, chaos, and maybe a whiff of pine.

    We sniff out the mysteries of scent (literally), dream up the candle no one asked for ("First-Time Musk," anyone?), and dive into the spicy chaos of internet fame.

    Meanwhile, crypto scams, viral memes, and unsolicited life advice make their way into our rant-fueled exploration of why the internet remains undefeated. If you've ever wondered why a random Southern accent or a poorly sung viral tune gets more fame than your well-thought-out content, you’re in for a ride.

    Don't forget to share, comment, and tell your friends about us—or don’t,...

  • #267 - Savage Food / American Vacation Gone Wild / "Severance" Rants / Long TV Shows vs Real Endings
    Dec 16 2024

    Welcome back to The Broskiedoodles Podcast! This week, it’s all about my latest American Adventure. From baseball stadiums emptier than my fridge on payday to deep dish pizzas in Orlando that left me questioning my digestive system—this trip had it all. My partner experienced the U.S. for the first time and now officially understands the savage portions, endless malls, and SUV nation. Plus, Airbnbs that feel like movie sets and amusement parks that left me feeling 85 years old.

    Ever feel like TV shows these days are just really long movies with no ending? Yeah, us too. In this episode, we dive into Severance—a brilliant concept wrapped in a strange corporate dystopia—but does it really know where it’s going? We ask the big questions: Would you split your brain into two lives? Are we being tricked into watching shows that stretch the story longer than gum on a summer sidewalk? Plus, we rant (lovingly) about how shows like Westworld and The Walking Dead start strong and then... well, let’s just say they need to learn when to quit. Spoiler alert: Quentin Tarantino’s hot takes are the cherry on top.

    We asked the real questions: Are we watching brilliance or just being strung along for endless seasons of nonsense? From creepy corporate waffle parties to pixelated cult leaders, we explore all the weird, eerie goodness. Plus, we roast the endless filler episodes of How I Met Your Mother (seriously, 10 seasons?), question if modern TV can just END already, and give some love to Apple TV's growing lineup—shoutout to Ted Lasso and Shrinking. Oh, and for the Western fans, Kevin Costner’s Horizon saga gets a nod because at least it’ll have an ending. Somewhere between existential horror and Marisa Tomei being fuego at 60, we tell you: Enjoy life, take a breather, and don’t get severed from your own happiness.

  • #266 - Arizona Iced Tea / The 99-Cent Myth / Supermarket Scams / Costco Secrets / Ballpark Hot Dogs
    Dec 4 2024

    Today we’re peeling back the layers of an iconic mystery—does Arizona Iced Tea really still cost 99 cents, or is that just the founder’s “good ol’ days” story? We take a wild trip through the history of the 99-cent can, Amazon hacks, and Costco’s forever $1.50 hot dog. Spoiler: It turns out our beloved Arizona Iced Tea might be a bit of a capitalist mirage. Plus, we brainstorm on how stocking your fridge with Arnold Palmers is a surefire way to impress dates (and keep the vibe recession-proof). Is it a marketing con or an unbreakable commitment to “the people”? Tune in, find out, and let the iced tea flow.

    We're going all-in on... grocery shopping? Yes! We're diving into the black hole of supermarket "99 cents" deals that somehow magically become $3.29 at checkout—thanks, inflation! Then, we head over to Costco, where we discuss the joys (and dangers) of bulk shopping and the eternal battle between splurging on a 12-pack of iced tea or impulsively walking out with a drone. Of course, we can’t leave without discussing ballpark hot dogs and our condiment confessions. Trust us, this episode is the best bang for your buck—no hidden charges!

  • #265 - Boredom in 2024 / Unlimited Distractions / Modern Attention Spans / Decision Fatigue
    Nov 27 2024

    Let’s face it, folks: boredom in 2024? It’s pretty much extinct. You can’t even go to the bathroom without a screen in your face, right? And remember those days when we could actually be bored and just let our minds wander? Now, it’s screen-time and dopamine hits on a loop. In this episode, we dig into the reality of being “connected” 24/7, our dependency on devices, and the “joys” of infinite entertainment. And yes, we're guilty too (seriously, we’re watching a show, playing a game, and checking the score all at once—are we even human anymore?). We even touch on what’s become of quality in entertainment and the ironic burnout that comes from too much choice. Tune in, but maybe try listening without 12 other things running in the background.

    Ever feel like you’re just staring at a wall, wondering if it’s burnout or boredom—or maybe both? We dive into that existential fatigue, comparing it to those moments you’re too drained even to cry. Spoiler: it's not boredom; it's deeper, like contemplating why croissants are messy but oh-so-good. From burnout to baking, we go into bread lore, croissant butter layers, and even how New York bagel water can change your life. Oh, and who knew boredom could make you crave focaccia or dream of perfect pizza dough? Plus, we discuss creative boredom hacks, so next time you’re feeling ‘meh,’ maybe it's time to make a sourdough starter. Or just binge-watch our podcast episodes, which are way better than any encyclopedia.

  • #264 - LEGO History / Nordic Countries & Their Blondes / "Kidults" Movement / Collecting for Glory
    Nov 20 2024

    In this episode, we take a dive into the world of LEGO and why it’s way more than just a kid’s toy (yes, really!). We kick things off by reminiscing about how LEGO got started way back in Denmark—aka the magical land of innovative toys and tall blondes. Then, we get into how LEGO saw dollar signs with adult fans and realized that broke 30-somethings were more than willing to shell out for some fancy Star Wars sets. From nostalgic LEGO builds to wild price tags, we also take a quick tour of the Nordic countries (they’re all the same, right?), discuss Leonardo DiCaprio’s love life, and dream of splurging on a 10,000-piece set while praying the rent doesn’t bounce. This episode’s got it all: history, sarcasm, and absurdly expensive toys.

    We chat about how you can now build a mini Real Madrid stadium, all while pretending that it's a financially smart move. Plus, we dive into the phenomenon of “Kidults”—grown-ups obsessing over toys and collectibles with names that only sound a little creepy. Of course, we couldn’t miss out on the hottest (and priciest) sports cards in town, from a humble Ty Cobb card to a jaw-dropping Mickey Mantle. Buckle up, it’s a blend of nostalgia, sarcasm, and a sprinkle of questionable life choices!

    From hoarding beer caps and soccer jerseys to the oddly satisfying collection of fridge magnets, we question how many trinkets you need before you’re officially a hoarder. Plus, are travel spoons from the ’90s classy or just cocaine-sized souvenirs? We even break down the insane cost of luxury Zippos and watches because, apparently, paying 60 grand for a watch is a “thing” now. So, whether you’re about collecting for nostalgia or straight-up status, we’ve got the hot takes (and sarcasm) ready.
