  • The Y2Kegger
    Jun 20 2025

    Show Notes:

    Time glitched, music looped, and somehow we never logged out of the 1999 party. In this week’s Y2K special, Joeba, Ripley & Zero dust off their floppy disks and boot up old fears, from crashing planes to runaway pets. We’re diving headfirst into the millennium panic, sharing ridiculous Y2K stories, and playing “Y2K or Nay?”, where we expose the wildest (and weirdest) predictions of the era. So grab your cassette player, crack open a Crystal Pepsi, and prepare to spiral back into the digital void—because the year 2000 might have ended, but this kegger sure didn’t. Stay slurred, Dimension Hoppers!

    Special Segment: Y2K or Nay?

    Test your paranoia levels as we quiz ridiculous Y2K fears—were they REAL… or a total fabrication?

  • Slurred Lines: Joeba & Ripley's Unfiltered Happy Hour #5
    May 14 2025

    Stardate: 81055.9

    Recording Status: “Involuntary Reboot Loop”


    System Status:

    Zero initiated sequence… then forgot why.

    Attempted auto-transcription... Result: [ERROR 502: Bad Gateway to Hell]. Notes flagged for excessive alcohol content and “ambient horniness”. System override triggered by “too many soundboard lasers, not enough logic.”


    [Transcript Reconstruction: PARTIAL]

    : Okay, Ripley, but if the asteroid is made of hops… does that make us the beer foam? : I swear to Emperor Zurg if Zero burps one more binary I’m yanking his RAM out manually. : Can someone PLEASE explain why there’s a ferret in the captain’s chair??


    Highlights (??):

    : “Would a black hole get you drunk faster?”

    : “If you could vape time, would you?”

    [Voicemod Catastrophe Detected] – Entire segment recorded in accidental sexy vampire filter.


    Unsolved Debate: Is Earth just a locked server in an abandoned MMO?

    [Error Code 42069: Echo Chamber Overflow] – Joeba mispronounces “asteroid” as “ass droid” for 12 straight minutes.


    System Notes:

    “Zero began singing Smash Mouth in reverse. That’s a Class 7 haunting.”

    “Podcast declared legally non-Euclidean in 3 star systems.”

    “Hosts keep referencing a ‘beer comet’ no one else can see.”

  • This Beer is Flat...and Earthy.
    Apr 11 2025

    The Flat Earth Society is alive and thriving within The Anti-Matter Minute Dimension… and we’re here to suffer through it. This week, we found an actual Flat Earth podcast that takes itself way too seriously, so we’re doing what any responsible podcasters would do—playing it MST3K-style and ripping it apart.

    But that’s not all! After the roasting ‘The Anti-Globe Trotters’, we take things even further with our OWN models (so step aside Copernicus!) where we create our own absurd Flat Earth models that are somehow even dumber than the real thing.

    So grab a drink (but keep it level) and prepare to be brainwashed by government pigeons, because this episode is flatter than a bar mat at closing time.

    🚀 Strap in, because it’s time to throw science into the black abyss of space! Stay slurred!
