    Ivy Insights

    The Jonathan Wier Show podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. It has become my go-to source of entertainment, especially during my boring job. The hosts, Jonathan Wier, Rod Babcock, and James E. "Jimmy" Kislingbury, have a fantastic dynamic that keeps me engaged and laughing throughout each episode. I love the variety of topics they cover, from music to random stories and everything in between. It's like sitting in your garage with your friends and having a hilarious conversation about anything and everything.

    One of the best aspects of The Jonathan Wier Show podcast is the interaction between the hosts. They have a natural chemistry that makes listening to them feel like you're part of their circle of friends. Their banter is witty, clever, and often downright hilarious. I find myself laughing so hard that I almost fall off my chair at times. Additionally, I appreciate how they always manage to teach me something new or share interesting insights on various subjects.

    However, like any podcast, there are some aspects that may not resonate with everyone. For instance, some listeners may find the hosts' humor to be too raunchy or irreverent at times. While this doesn't bother me personally, I can understand why it may not appeal to everyone's taste. Additionally, the casual conversational style of the show may occasionally result in tangents or off-topic discussions that some listeners may find distracting.

    In conclusion, The Jonathan Wier Show podcast is an incredibly entertaining and engaging podcast that never fails to brighten my day. From their hilarious stories to their insightful conversations about music and other random topics, this show is a must-listen for anyone looking for a great distraction from daily life or simply a good laugh. Despite its occasional shortcomings, it consistently delivers entertaining content that keeps me coming back for more.

    In this episode, Jonathan Wier is joined by James and Cody for a hilarious and increasingly unhinged exploration of King of the Hill fan theories. It starts off sane but quickly descends into beautiful madness—what they call the King of the Hill conspiracy iceberg. The crew tackles questions like: Why did Luanne give up auto repair? (Possible diagnosis: drain damage.) Did Peggy suffer brain damage after a skydiving mishap? Did Cotton Hill fake his death and flee to Japan? Why does Bobby own a Bart Simpson doll if The Simpsons is just a TV show in that universe? And is Dale exterminating bugs as a lifelong vendetta against his dad? Along the way, they spiral into tangents about Rocky villains, microwave-sized shoes, the myth of Peggy's size 16.5 feet, and a serious debate over who's hotter on Modern Family. If you love King of the Hill, weird fan theories, and grown men bonding over animated sitcoms, this episode is pure comfort food with a propane aftertaste.

    In this wide-ranging episode, Jonathan and Cody reunite to ask the big questions: When do you stop being “from Kansas City”? Why are people pretending not to swear when they stub their toe? And is there really only 8 billion people on Earth? Because it sure feels like more. Jonathan tells the story of how he lost a sale by telling someone from Salem, MA that she is not, in fact, “from Boston.” Cody coins the phrase “New Orleans Chiefs,” and the guys debate whether moving the Royals across the state line actually matters. Spoiler: it doesn't if you're from Cass County. They also rip apart the new “Eat Like a Baby” diet (Jonathan: “Babies eat slow because they have no teeth!”), and break down the cultural phenomenon of the Hot Mugshot Girl, who may or may not be getting arrested for clout. That naturally leads to a conversation about attractive people getting out of speeding tickets and the complicated ethics of body cams, crime, and charisma. Also in the mix: Why men become obsessed with mowing the lawn after age 30 Whether tall grass once hid saber-toothed mole cats And why the real freaks are the 26% of people who claim they don't swear when they stub their toe As always, Cody wraps things up with some real talk about his tech shop, Akins PC Repair, and their new line of gear that might just outlast your laptop, your phone, and possibly your next several relationships.

    In this episode, Jonathan and James tackle life's most pressing questions with their usual mix of humor, skepticism, and existential dread. Why do people trust AI to make decisions for them, even when it's clearly wrong? How is it possible that intelligent life should be everywhere in the universe, yet we've found nothing? And in perhaps the most unsettling discovery of the week—Egyptian mummies actually smell amazing. They also go on wild detours about the global chicken census (which James wildly overestimates), reminisce about pandemic-era absurdities, and consider whether aliens are just watching us like a cosmic reality show. Oh, and if you're wondering what a 2 AM walk with a dog and zero signs of human life feels like—it might just be the start of an alien abduction. Come for the thought-provoking discussion, stay for the revelation that maybe—just maybe—you should save a horse and bang a mummy.

    In this episode, Jonathan and James navigate a mix of the absurd and the profound. They kick things off reminiscing about pandemic-era habits and the eerie realism of Superstore's COVID season. From there, they discuss a study showing that people are outsourcing their moral decisions to AI, much like a GPS leading them into a lake. This leads to a deep dive into the Fermi Paradox—if life is inevitable, where are all the aliens? Are they hiding, avoiding us, or have they all self-destructed in a cosmic tragedy? Things take a delightfully weird turn when they uncover research showing that ancient Egyptian mummies don't smell like dust and death, but rather pine and juniper. This revelation spirals into musings on historical smells, the underappreciated importance of scent in our daily lives, and—somehow—the best name for a nerdy stripper. It's a rollercoaster of logic, laughter, and lunacy, covering everything from the ethics of AI-driven warfare to the undeniable heartbreak of watching Godfather III. Buckle up.

As Finn sat under his blanket, quietly crying, Jonathan delivered a brutal yet honest life lesson: This is the rest of your life, kid. Because whether it's football, movies, or anything you love, eventually, it's going to break your heart. Jonathan and Cody unpack the aftermath of the Chiefs' Super Bowl defeat, the meltdown of young fans, and the weird relief of experiencing garbage time Mahomes for the first time. They also tackle the Mahomes vs. Brady GOAT debate, the eerie parallels between this loss and the 2020 Super Bowl loss to the Buccaneers, and why Andy Reid's future plans should give Chiefs fans hope.

We break down the Chiefs' recent dominance, from Juju Smith-Schuster to Noah Gray, and discuss how Rashee Rice's absence hasn't slowed them down. And for the play of the game? It wasn't the touchdowns. It was Maliek Collins waking up the wrong guy.
