What exactly makes someone a homie — loyalty, shared chaos, or the fact that they’ve witnessed your worst decisions and still show up? In this highly entertaining episode of Are You Sh!#ing Me? (AYSM), Brett & Chuck break down the true meaning of homies, the surprising history of the word “homie”, and why ride-or-die friendships matter more than ever.
Brett & Chuck also debate:
🔥History’s most iconic duos (Lewis & Clark, Twain & Keller, Han Solo & Chewbacca, Goose & Maverick)
🔥The unwritten rules of best friend dynamics
🔥A beer review of My Homie by Breakside Brewery (https://breakside.com)
🔥A playlist of the best homie songs of all time
🔥Homie Dream Teams- where Brett & Chuck create the best 3 duos or all time (you can vote for the best Homie Dream team on Spotify) btw – Brett so wins this one.
The episode blends comedy, storytelling, and a little research into the friendships that shape our lives — the homies who support your dreams, roast you mercilessly, and sometimes hold your beer while you make a terrible decision.
If you’ve ever wondered what defines a true homie, this episode delivers laughs, insight, and a whole lot of nostalgia.
Cheers!

In this AYSM - Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities solo episode, Brett dives into one of the internet’s most infamous scientific myths: The Brown Note—the supposed ultra-low sound frequency powerful enough to make you instantly lose bowel control.
Is it real? Could a deep bass tone actually turn your intestines into a malfunctioning subwoofer? And why has this myth survived for decades despite being busted harder than a cheap speaker at a Metallica concert?
Brett breaks down the strange science of infrasound, the spooky ways low frequencies mess with your brain, the South Park episode that launched the legend into pop culture, and the moment MythBusters literally tried to weaponize acoustics in the name of science.
Spoiler: no pants were harmed.
You’ll learn where the story came from, why people swear it has to be true, and what infrasound really does to the human body (hint: wrong end). It’s weird, it’s hilarious, it’s slightly unsettling — classic AYSM.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a sound can actually make you poop… this episode hits all the right frequencies.
Cheers!
Brett
Brett’s dressed as a damn turkey, Chuck’s judging him, and everything goes off the rails. Beer, balloons, deep-fried disasters—your Thanksgiving starts here.
Gobble Gobble, Motherf*ckers — it’s the AYSM Thanksgiving Spectacular!
Brett is dressed like a 245-pound turkey, Chuck sounds like he’s broadcasting from a lawnmower testing facility, and somehow we still manage to cram in a beer review, familychaos stories, weird Thanksgiving facts, and enough Macy’s Parade trivia to ruin dinner conversations across America.
This week, Brett and Chuck sip Schlafly Pumpkin Vanilla Ale 8% ABV, baby), debate pumpkin-pie beers, argue about stuffing, and go deep into the REAL history of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — including live zoo animals, rogue balloons, near-fatal airplane collisions, and the early-century “balloon bounty program” that absolutely should not have existed.
We cover:
· Chuck’s Sunday School Teacher’s outfit
· Brett’s infamous Turkey onesie
· “Memories of Turkeys Past” and the worst familydisasters – no 5-second rule
· A nod to former host Aaron and his 2-hand touchfootball career
· Beer pairings for every Thanksgiving dish (Can’tgo wrong with BCBS)
· Cranberry facts, including their “bounce”
· Why deep-fried turkeys send Americans to the ER
· SILWARR - Weird shit we learned this week (goosebumps + moon golf)
· Snoopy balloon supremacy
· The Parade’s dangerous early years
· Thanksgiving around the world – Canada, Germany, Liberia, Japan, Norfolk Island, Grenada, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico
· Still no Finland listeners!
· …and so many other facts we may have gottenwrong!
Pour a drink, loosen your belt, and gobble gobble… AYSM style.
Cheers!

This week on Are You Sh!#ing Me?, Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities,
Brett goes solo to unpack one of the weirdest, most unnecessary, and most delightfully chaotic moments in American holiday history: ,
The Great Cranberry Scare of 1959 — the year the government basically told everyone, “Happy Thanksgiving… maybe don’t eat anything red.”
Just two weeks before Thanksgiving, officials announced that some cranberries might be contaminated with a weed killer that could cause cancer in rats. The result?
Panic. Outrage. Angry telegrams. Politicians flexing by chugging cranberry juice on TV. And an entire country looking for emergency backup side dishes (spoiler: it wasn’t pretty).
President Eisenhower skipped the cranberry sauce. Grocery stores pulled cans off shelves. Life Magazine suggested pickled watermelon rind. AMERICA. LOST. ITS. MIND.
Buckle up, because I discovered something while procrastinating that sent me into a spiral.
Brett breaks down:
• Why the warning happened
• How bad the science actually was
• Why Nixon ate four servings on camera like a deranged berry martyr
• The letters the White House received (including Canadians demanding an apology)
• And how this panic shaped modern food safety laws
All that plus jokes, rants, and whatever Brett was supposed to be doing instead of researching 1950s cranberry drama.
Cheers!
Brett

Prepare to join Brett & Chuck as they explore some ofthe most unusual headlines in history: Florida Man Stories.
From gator-based currency to meth-induced tree romance, this episode of Are You Sh!#ing Me? peels back the weird, the wild, and the absolutely unbelievable — all (mostly) true, all from the Sunshine State.
Why does Florida produce these kinds of stories? The guys break down the truth behind the viral meme, including the state’s Sunshine Laws, population density, and why journalists have so much bizarre material to work with. Along the way, they taste-test Cigar City Brewing’s notorious Florida ManDouble IPA, share “Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities,” and react to real headlines involving manatees, machetes, drive-thru alligators, naked noodle binges, vampire women, and weaponized Walmart scooters.
If you’ve ever wondered whether cocaine can “blow in through a window,” if it is possible to get a DUI on a motorized wheelchair, or why someone would try to bring a disassembled RPG through TSA… buckle up.
This is classic AYSM.
This episode includes:
· The true origin of “Florida Man”
· Real newspaper & TV headlines
· “Only in Florida” crimes
· Meth logic vs. human logic
· Fun facts (including why chainsaws were originally invented… yikes!)
· Why you should think twice before buying yourkid a stuffed toy from Walmart.
Whether you're from Florida, love Florida, or fear Florida… this one’s for you.
Cheers!
