Cap and Ryan offer a retrospective of strange Olympic history discussing the utter chaos of early Olympic events, from the long hard, traffic clogged, rat-poisoned slogs, to the whimsical dismantling of France's signature coifed canine at the hands of a farmer's wife. Finally, they address accusations that Imane Kalif of Algeria should have been barred from competition for crimes against the patriarchy. Please rate and review where ever you listen.

Ryan takes to the streets with Cap to patrol the internet in search of questions and topics in need of vigilante illumination. Ryan provides an update on the state of the show, before they dive into the hows and whens of doing the gritty at a funeral, taking breastmilk baths, before ruling on whether there is a connection between Impossible Meat and Planned Parenthood. TW: This episode does feature discussion of abortion and cannibalism, but that's the price of exploring the MAGA web I guess. Finally, Cap dives into whether a viral image on the internet faithfully recounts an occurrence of a butt plug railgun.

Yes, there's a heat wave, but there's nothing more refreshing than rubbing a cool new episode against your earballs. Ryan and Matt start off by taking on an r/AskReddit question about the soundtrack in Hell, before taking on a hellishly tumultuous family feud pitting two golden children against their jealous siblings in the Case of the Stolen In-laws which comes to us courteous of r/AmItheAsshole. Then they take a dip into a purported image of Presidential loser Donald Trump rescuing cats from dangerous flood waters found on Facebook. Then they wrap up the episode with a pair of insane topics that prove that capitalism can make even the softest drinks go hard with death squads and naval armadas.

A Classic from the Archives, one of Ryan's personal favorites because Matt is totally on top of his game! __________________________ On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan celebrate a minor production milestone: six months of podcasting. Then they help the desperate souls of Reddit by tackling their most challenging r/nostupidquestions question yet in which the asker would like to become less stupid. Then they plug into a Black Mirroresque story out of the UK that is too graphic and horrible to describe with any level of anatomical precision. They turn their attention to the font of very much not stupid questions again, but this time the question asker is inquiring about what happens when you put a grenade in a microwave, and we answer the question because we don't think anyone is smart enough to decode what we want. Finally, and possibly forever, they discuss meme reports about QR codes going up on Japanese gravestones. __________________________ Find the show on all social media platforms @wreckyourpod Find Ryan on Instagram and Twitter @foodicide Support the show by visiting www.fondlemelobster.com Chat with Don't Wreck Yourself, and dozens of other podcasters on the Podcast Nexus Discord server... https://discord.gg/z5GMvpmyTZ
Ryan is joined by Ian, world renowned podcast editor and table top RPG personality to discuss the topics Wrecking the Internet. They start off with a topic from r/RandomThoughts about the films we see that haunt our very souls. Then they dig into a topic from r/ELI5 (Explain it Like I'm 5) asking some pretty hard, and frankly disturbing questions about Tug of War safety. Then they way into a pair of topics r/AmITheAsshole which have two Redditors asking the internet if they were jerks to disabled strangers...

Ryan and Matt take on a lot of work topics in this episode! They start off discussing a fated golf game in which a junior partner at a financial firm publicly spanks rootin' tootin' Texas oil tycoon, costing his company a key customer, and his boss wants to know how to handle it. Then they discuss an incident in which an employee's dissatisfaction gets back to a boss, creating a delicate situation. Then they tackle Elon Musk's egalitarian take on Work from Home, which, like Matt's microphone in this episode, sucks ass. By the way, Matt's microphone in this episode was a backup model with poor sound quality. We apologize for that, but we won't apologize for rounding out the episode discussing whether a new worker on a horse farm is going to have to engage in some quid pro quo with his equine employers.

Ryan and Cap reunite for some pretty questionable questions. First they answer a question from r/TooAfraidToAsk that will change the way you look at genitals. Then, speaking of things people lie about the size of, Ryan and Cap swap fishing stories as they analyze a portrait of gargantuan tuna. Then they wade into another ocean life related question, as they discuss a family's psychopathic ritual crustacean murders... no really. Then they discuss the bathroom etiquette of the dildos you live with and the dildos of the dildos you live with... it's like a Russian doll, but dildos, like a Russian doll painted to look like Vladimir Putin, the biggest dildo in Russia.

Ryan, Matt, and Monica eat their protein pills and put their helmets on before launching into a slew of Moon related topics. First they establish the facts about when exactly it's 4:20 on the Moon. Then they educate some fellow podcasters about the geological history of the Moon and also, sorta, dinosaurs. Then they tuck into a delicious topic, the literal breakfast of champions: the "traditional" astronaut breakfast of steak and eggs. Then they dive into the blackest hole in the universe, r/AmITheAsshole, with a question about whether or not it's okay to opt out of your high school bully's cancer fundraiser.

Matt returns for an episode to help break Ryan from a news cycle that will not die not matter how many Executive Branch officials have to get raided by the thugs of Joe Biden's crooked FBI (that's a joke, but seriously, you're great FBI, no notes this time.) Matt opens up the show by spinning a tale of deceit, lust, intemperance, and a lovely Delta Airlines customer service representative named after a snack icon Little Debbie (I assume). Then they go on to discuss a final, yes FINAL Groundhog's Day themed question shared by listener Diana, followed by a second topic from Diana about a snow plow naming contest.

Then they discuss a question from r/TooAfraidToAsk that seeks clarity on how different a person has to be from your significant other to make it "not cheating". They follow up by taking a question from r/NoStupidQuestions from a student who wants to understand the math behind their math teacher's grading metrics... if only there was someone more qualified to answer their math questions... then they wrap things up by gunning down another topic from show listener Maurice that centers on a meme claiming that a piece of heavy duty military hardware has found itself in the hands of one of America's most dangerous people... the Florida Man.
