It’s never a dull moment with the delinquent crew of Maxwell’s Magic Hour, and this week is no different. From revealing the hosts first impressions of each other good or bad, to talking about how you can impress your girl with some new idiotic lingo for the purpose of “getting in there”, quarantine has us all going a little insane.

The gang get’s together to chat about COVID regulations and testing getting easier. With test no longer needing to stab into your brain people are more eager to get tested.

The gang gathers together virtually to chat about Brookes new Bae. Having been single on and off for many years, Brooke has finally found a nice normal guy who isn’t creepy and doesn’t go on weird “Masks violate my freedom!” rants when out to dinner. As with every episode, we can’t just talk about something normal. So the gang also discusses rich people have kinks related to ghosts in their old mansions, what it’s like to attend an event at a deadly strip club, and what in the hell a “Chip n Dales” baby is.

It’s Election day, so Maxwell, Christian, and Brooke are doing the most American thing they can think of: Talking about terrible interactions on Tinder. Brooke shares her greatest horror stories, like unsolicited D*** pics over a sunrise, men saying “hey” over 100 times to get her attention to no avail, and dudes who think that saying “I’ve always thought of getting into comedy” is somehow an attractive thing to say to a female comedian.

Comedian, broadcaster, talented and clever lady Brooke Louellen joins the podcast as the newest voice and host.

Christian fascinates Maxwell with the incredibly true not fake story of the time he rescued a Baby Bobcat in the middle of the road. Christian, with his heart bigger than his hands found the poor baby Bobcat in the middle of the road in CT one night and in his quick thinking decided the right thing to do was to help it either find it’s mother (pretty terrifying) or call someone for help while keeping the tiny fur baby safe. Maxwell tells his own animal story, but this time it’s about his drunk former jerk off neighbor trying to capture wild cats in the neighborhood with terrible plans.

Maxwell and Christian continue the show, and get ready to announce a new voice of the podcast soon. Christian reveals new updates to his life, including leaving the world of radio for the time being to pursue other avenues, what it’s like adjusting to his new sleep schedule, getting called 50 times by the person who took his place as the job is more stressful than ever imagined, and his final thoughts on the radio industry as a whole and insider information on the ups and downs of the business. Maxwell and Christian also laugh about the ridiculous and nonsense ratings systems of radio and reminisce about their meanest bosses.

Maxwell, Christian and Alyssa reflect on the most villainous teachers they’ve ever had.

Maxwell, Christian and Alyssa all start getting a little stir crazy in quarantine. By start, we of course mean from the second quarantine was announced. As the state of CT starts opening back up and other states follow, the gang talks about the hobbies they’ve picked up while in quarantine like roller blading, going to grad school, becoming the neighborhood snow white and having brushes with police.

They pose the question of “have you noticed anything new about your partner or quarantine buddy during this pandemic?” and Maxwell obliges with some of the craziest stories of his girlfriend talking in her sleep. Stories range from accidentally getting slammed into the wall with a John Cena type move, laughing hysterically at a joke that was never said, and yelling out random profanities just because your sub conscious told you too.

The day has finally come, it’s a very special birthday episode for a very special co host. 24 years ago Christian Turnquist was born into this world and nobody knew it at the time, but someday he would get lost in the woods.

The gang get’s together for another virtual hangout to chat about all things COVID-19 Quarantine.

The gang gets together in the virtual world to talk about Alyssas birthday being cancelled due to the dreadful COVID-19 Virus. On top of her birthday getting canceled, she was the one who had to pull the plug as noone is allowed to gather in groups much to the friends disappointment. With quarantine comes some pitfalls, but also some amazing content like the infamous Tiger King Netflix documentary that has millions of people asking how everyone in a single documentary aren’t in jail, did Carol Baskins kill her former husband, and why is ANYONE allowed to own a tiger?

The gang celebrates their 100th episode by complaining about others. In this episode, they talk all about professionals who are terrible at their jobs or difficult to work with, like eye doctors who ask you which lens is better when they’re both the same, professors who tell you your work is so bad they want to kill themselves, and radio bosses who don’t realize nobody gives a damn about whales in the New York Harbor.

The gang decides to get together last minute and record their newest episode, but this time it’s virtual. For the first time ever in Maxwell’s Magic Hour history the podcast is recorded in each hosts respective studios.

A famous game favored by radio broadcasters, they spin and create some of the wildest scenerios like deciding who would you rather fight or if you would rather be one superhero or another under very specific conditions having to do with limited superpowers or wealth. They also dive into some of the most popular phrases that can be misconstrued on the air like is it “book of worms” or “can of worms”?

The gang quickly washes their hands before recording this next episode (don’t worry, they sang Happy Birthday to themselves). The Coronavirus is now officially the scourge of the Earth, or as some see it, the Media’s favorite fear mongering love child. The virus has spread to almost every continent on the earth and continues to infect the masses but is it really that terrifying? Is mass panic and hoarding of medical supplies more dangerous than the virus itself? Maxwell, Christian, and Alyssa share their thoughts on this new potential Pandemic that’s sweeping the nation like sliced bread, but isn’t the best thing since sliced bread.

Florida Man is the legend that nobody asked for, starting in 2013 with the original “Florida Man” being caught trying to eat someones face while on bath salts. Now, the stories rage on and keep getting worse somehow. Some stories range from the “Florida Man” breaking into someones house to make breakfast, waking up naked in a parking lot covered in peanut butter, trying to sell meth to a church, and even murdering family members and calling it a life goal. The gang gets together to chat about the good, the bad and the ugly of the horrible legend.

Not knowing how to make friends any more, having 0 hobbies, and getting yelled at for having “Rabbit Ears” at a trivia night are all things you might have in common with other young professionals just trying to get through “adulting”. Maxwell, Christian and Alyssa discussed all the life lessons they’ve learned so far in the year of 2020. With only a month in you’d think they would have just learned that January is the worst month, but some lessons include barely having any close friends as an adult, being so far away from everyone you might as well never go out, and focusing your time on feral animals that live outside your apartment to essentially become Snow White.

Christian is back with another insane story about getting in trouble with the law. After passing out in his apartment he gets a call from his brother explaining that Johnny Law was looking for him and in a fit of panic he heads back to his old address to find out what exactly he’s in big trouble for this time. The gang chats about getting in trouble with the law themselves, and the insane things they would do to get out of, or stay in jury duty like promoting the podcast excessively, stealing a judges gavel and making random animal noises.

The gang gets together to discuss some of the intense topics of the week. Maxwell has a problem with the continuous hatred towards Guy Fieiri on the internet, which continues to get worse in the form of Youtube parodies, Tik Tok videos, and Insta posts. Maxwell, Christian and Alyssa also argue about the best and worst parts of growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s like Kanye Wests awful shade sunglasses, Britney Spears rise and fall, and whatever the hell Mya was up too.

The gang gets together to discuss the top songs of 2019 including tracks like “Heat” by Chris Brown which pushed the boundaries of vulgar music, Old Town Road by Lil Nas which became the most popular song in America and Alyssa’s least favorite track of all time, and whatever the hell Post Malone put out. They also have heated debates about the most popular music from their childhood like NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys and things get dicey as the crew tries to fight over who is better.

Connecticut is known for many things. Wether it be incredible pizza, aquariums, beautiful rich beach side communities and now a murderer who has so much evidence against him he might as well throw in the towel (and that towel is probably soaked with his victims blood).

The gang picks out their absolute favorite moments from 2019 including all of their best guests, funniest bits, angriest rants, weirdest stories, and the absolute wildest moments from the show.
