Welcome to the Pains of the Plains podcast! Unhinged and unafraid, Mattie, Shaun, and Shane are a group of geeky metalheads with 10+ years of friendship between them. Join in on the crazy antics as these boys discuss life, games, and music while navigating existential crisis in their 30's
Shaun tells a story about sniping and brings it home with another awesome edition of Cards Shaun Likes.
In honor of the Halloween holiday, Shane hosts and tells his scariest story and then continues Mattie's Five Senses activity with the guys' LEAST favorite senses. Have a happy Halloween, Painiacs!
Well... Have you? The guys come back from another break with a test of the senses and how they would recreate their childhood toys
Maybe one day we'll get back on schedule. In this episode, the guys catch up after a long break and discuss new catchphrases and how Shaun met his wife.
First and foremost, we apologize for the long wait on this episode. We've been keeping Mattie locked in a basement with minimal food for his fasting and he keeps fainting halfway through the edits. Thankfully, he had enough strength to edit this Olympics-themed podcast. Donate to the VEDS Movement (Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) here at thevedsmovement.org. VEDs is a heritable connective tissue disorder that makes the connective tissue very fragile, particularly in the blood vessels and hollow organs. Donate now to fund research and help save a life! We appreciate you all and hope you enjoy the episode!
Shane hosts another episode and the guys discuss topics such as Keebler elves, why candles are terrible, and much more!
Welcome back after the break! Mattie's hosting and has a fresh serving of Guess the Lyrics and Reddit stories since he doesn't have any cool stories like his co-hosts. The guys talk about relationships, moving into a new house, guess songs they SHOULD know, and much more!
Shane brings another action fueled story...
The guys welcome Shaun's friend Marty for another guest episode and things quickly go wild. From "boing-boing" piercings to eating deer meat with professional musicians, the Pains of the Plains guys deliver again.
FREEDOM HUDDLE, AMERICA ON THREE! The guys are getting ready for the July 4th celebration with some fun facts about the founding fathers, bicycle crimes, and the difficulties of the American alphabet. Stay safe out there everyone!
The guys have finally reached the 10th episode and Mattie has unleashed tyranny on the structure of the podcast. The title says it all. No Condiment Section, no Anime Spotlight. JUST GAMES! Thank you all for your support of listening to 10 episodes, here's to 10 more!
After last week, Mattie is on the chopping block for having a microphone error in the recording. Shane hosts this week with ghost stories, the boys talk about the existence of NPC's in the real world, and reacharounds are apparently not always a wrong answer...
It's the second guest episode of the podcast with a major twist... Mattie had a blunder with his microphone. The guys talk about Ethan and Shaun's childhood, Goofy sings Lose Yourself, and spankings are scheduled. Thank you for your punishment er- patience as we got this episode out really late.
Shane takes hold of the mic and lays down his worth as a Pains of the Plains host with a story about brotherly bonding through knife violence. Matt and Shaun get in the hot seat as they play a round of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
Mattie deals with the aftermath of his first loss in the podcast while Shaun and Shane promote the movie pitches of a lifetime. Tom Holland meets M. Night Shyamalan, Stephen Spielberg meets Adam Sandler, these blockbuster hits are coming to a theater near you... maybe.
In today's episode, the guys change the format and Shaun overthrows Mattie as host of the podcast. From scientology to Funko Pop conspiracies, Shaun challenges the gang to mental warfare and the importance of pasties.
The boys welcome a guest speaker and things quickly get out of hand. From gastroenteritis to recipes of the human flesh, this is how the guys welcome new blood.
From sketchy gas station experiences to Shane simping, the guys learn about old Oklahoman laws and have a special personality quiz.
The guys catch up after Shaun's vacation with a little bit of movie and game news. After that Mattie tests the groups slang vocabulary with a game of Boomer vs Gen Z Slang Wars Extravaganza Pt. 1. The gang concludes that Shion has massive... potential.
In this pilot episode Mattie, Shaun, and Shane debate zombie apocalypse plans and decide once and for all who is more insane: Florida or Oklahoma. We hope you enjoy the podcast
