2014 Ranger Part 2 (Remastered) - Yeah, I'm not going to be using Hunter's Mark either...

The ranger's journey from level 5 to 20 is a majestic tale of growth, survival, and discovering that Hunter's Mark may not actually deserve permanent custody of your concentration. Randall's Gloom Stalker becomes an invisible crossbow machine, Ash's Drakewarden takes to the skies aboard a fire-breathing murder lizard, and Tyler spends sixteen levels converting every available feat, spell slot, and medical supply into increasingly desperate attempts to keep one flying snake alive. By level 20, two of these characters are legendary hunters. The third is still shouting, "Don't worry, buddy, I have Cure Wounds!" while filling out another pet insurance claim. Show Notes In this episode, we continue building our 2014 DnD 5e rangers, taking Randall's Gloom Stalker, Ash's Drakewarden, and Tyler's original Player's Handbook Beast Master from level 5 all the way to level 20. Extra Attack immediately improves everyone's combat potential, although Tyler is mostly excited because he can finally attack without ordering his flying snake to do it for him. From there, we examine the spells, feats, subclass features, and questionable design decisions that define the ranger's later levels. We also commit ranger heresy by asking whether Hunter's Mark is actually worth using. Magic Weapon offers better accuracy, reliable damage, an hour-long duration, and none of the constant bonus-action reassignment that interferes with Crossbow Expert, companion commands, and other important ranger abilities. As the builds gain more attacks and begin using Sharpshooter, improving the chance to hit becomes increasingly valuable, leaving Hunter's Mark standing in the wilderness wondering why nobody invited it to combat. The three subclasses develop very differently. Randall's Gloom Stalker continues doing Gloom Stalker things, including attacking repeatedly, disappearing into darkness, gaining Greater Invisibility, and generally becoming Batman with a crossbow. Ash's Drakewarden gains elemental damage, a flying companion, and a breath weapon that can turn a battlefield into an aerial geometry problem. Meanwhile, Tyler's Beast Master slowly crawls toward competence, eventually allowing his snake to attack twice and share spells, assuming it survives long enough to enjoy either feature. At the highest levels, the ranger's progression becomes much less exciting. Fifth-level spells offer a few useful options, Feral Senses arrives with awkward limitations, and the class gives players several excellent reasons to multiclass after level 15. The journey concludes with Foe Slayer, a capstone so underwhelming that the group proposes replacing it with a legendary death arrow capable of instantly killing enemies, because a level-20 ranger should receive something more exciting than occasionally adding Wisdom to one attack. Finally, the Question of the Week examines why players reacted differently to the DnD 2024 rules and the Pathfinder 2e Remaster. The discussion explores community expectations, the circumstances behind each revision, compatibility concerns, and the uncomfortable space occupied by an update that changes too much to feel like ordinary 5e but not enough to feel like a genuinely new edition. Key Takeaways Hunter's Mark is not mandatory. Rangers have several competing uses for concentration and bonus actions. Magic Weapon, Elemental Weapon, Guardian of Nature, and subclass abilities may provide more value depending on the build. Accuracy becomes increasingly important. Extra Attack, Crossbow Expert, Sharpshooter, and subclass features reward effects that improve the chance of landing multiple attacks rather than adding modest damage to only one target. The original Beast Master demands too much maintenance. Tyler considers healing feats, defensive buffs, and other resources simply to keep his low-CR companion alive, although the subclass eventually gains respectable features such as Bestial Fury and Share Spells. Gloom Stalker remains extremely powerful. Additional attacks, darkness-based invisibility, Stalker's Flurry, Greater Invisibility, and strong action economy allow the subclass to remain dangerous throughout the ranger's progression. Drakewarden delivers the strongest companion fantasy. Its drake gains mobility, elemental abilities, flight, and a flexible breath weapon without requiring the ranger to build an entire emergency medical system around it. Ranger spells are useful, but spell slots are scarce. Pass Without Trace, Spike Growth, Lightning Arrow, Elemental Weapon, Guardian of Nature, and other options can be excellent, but rangers need to make each limited spell slot count. The late-level class features are underwhelming. Feral Senses has frustrating restrictions, and Foe Slayer offers too little for a level-20 capstone, especially for rangers making numerous attacks every round. Subclass choice dramatically changes the ranger experience. One ranger becomes Batman, another gets an airborne dragon flamethrower, and the third spends sixteen levels inventing increasingly elaborate snake-based healthcare. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

2014 DnD 5e RANGER (Remastered): Levels 1 - 4 - Archery to Beast Mastery: Choosing the Right Build

Welcome to Ranger levels 1 through 4, where you can become a deadly shadow archer, command your own miniature dragon, or sacrifice your entire action so that a flying snake with the structural integrity of wet parchment can participate in combat. In this episode, we explore Favored Enemies nobody tracks, terrain nobody visits, spells competing for the same concentration slot, and the revolutionary discovery that the Ranger becomes significantly better when you replace most of the Ranger. Grab your longbow, release your drake, and prepare to whisper, "Go get 'em, little buddy," moments before your animal companion is killed by incidental damage. Show Notes The Ranger has spent years carrying a terrible reputation, but is the entire class actually bad, or did everyone read the original Beast Master, experience psychic damage, and refuse to look at the class again? In this episode, we begin our journey through the 2014 Ranger from levels 1 through 4. We break down the class's ability scores, armor, weapons, skills, Fighting Styles, spellcasting, and its awkward position somewhere between Fighter, Rogue, and person who remembers to bring enough trail rations. We examine the original Favored Enemy and Natural Explorer features, which are extremely useful when the campaign takes place in one specific biome against one specific enemy and the DM insists that every mile of travel be handled in real time. Then we look at Tasha's optional features, including Favored Foe and Deft Explorer, which give Rangers abilities they might actually use during an adventure. At level 3, the builds split dramatically. Randall embraces the darkness with a Gloom Stalker built around stealth, hand crossbows, and making an alarming number of attacks before the enemy understands that combat has started. Ash chooses the Drakewarden, gaining a durable dragon companion that can attack, support allies, and generally behave like a functional subclass feature. Tyler, meanwhile, voluntarily builds the original Player's Handbook Beast Master. Armed with determination, optimism, and a flying snake that can be eliminated by an aggressively closed door, he attempts to prove that the subclass can work. It technically can, provided your definition of working includes surrendering your action, protecting your pet at all costs, and carrying its body around until the DM allows you to find another one. By level 4, the difference is impossible to ignore. The Gloom Stalker is attacking repeatedly from the shadows, the Drakewarden is firing arrows while a dragon controls the front line, and the Beast Master is pointing toward the enemy and asking his snake to please do something useful. Two Rangers are ready for the next tier of play. One Ranger needs to lie down. Key Takeaways Dexterity is usually the Ranger's best primary ability. It supports ranged and finesse weapons, Armor Class, initiative, Stealth, and several important saving throws without demanding the impossible ability spread required by most Strength builds. The original level-one features are painfully campaign-dependent. Favored Enemy mostly helps with tracking and recalling information, while Natural Explorer becomes relevant only when the party is traveling through the terrain you selected. Tasha's optional features are major improvements. Favored Foe provides extra damage without consuming a bonus action, while Deft Explorer gives the Ranger expertise in a chosen skill and helps it better occupy the party's scout role. Bonus-action management matters. Hunter's Mark, two-weapon fighting, Crossbow Expert, and companion commands can all compete for the same bonus action, so your build needs a clear plan for how its turns will work. Archery remains an excellent Fighting Style. The attack bonus is reliable, useful at every level, and especially valuable for builds planning to use powerful ranged feats later. Ranger spells should provide more than damage. Healing, control, mobility, and utility can offer better value than repeatedly concentrating on Hunter's Mark, especially when Favored Foe can handle shorter fights. Most Ranger subclasses are functional or strong. Gloom Stalker offers excellent opening-round offense, Drakewarden delivers an effective companion, and even Hunter remains playable. The original Beast Master is the feature responsible for much of the class's terrible reputation. The original Beast Master has a brutal action economy. Commanding the companion to attack consumes the Ranger's action, leaving the character watching their pet play D&D on their behalf. Modern companion subclasses demonstrate what Beast Master should have been. The Drake can act through a bonus action, contribute extra damage with its reaction, support the front line, and survive encounters without requiring constant emotional and medical supervision. Your build should have a recognizable combat loop by level 4. Randall attacks rapidly from hiding, Ash fires from range while the Drake fights up front, and Tyler commands a snake while quietly reconsidering every decision that brought him here.

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

Gene and Dick hit a milestone — episode 501 — and they're celebrating by going back to the '90s with Jean-Claude Van Damme's passion project, The Quest. Commissioned by Steven M. as part of the Month of Steven, this 1996 martial arts adventure finds Van Damme not just starring but directing — and the results are... surprisingly ambitious. In this episode: Is The Quest Bloodsport in 1925, or Van Damme's Indiana Jones? Gene and Dick can't agree. Roger Moore shows up and completely steals the movie. Dick makes a controversial case that he may have been a better Bond than Connery. The tournament fighters are real martial artists — and it makes all the difference. Van Damme is obsessed with his legs. His eyes. And apparently, silk underwear. The orphans were definitely dead by the third act. We ran the timeline. What did the note say? This is the question that may never be answered. Also in this episode: a listener reports that someone trained AI on Big D's voice to sell knives on TikTok, the guys lock in two months of Spooktacular horror films, Beastmaster gets commissioned, and next week brings a summer camp classic from 1979.

The people in power have caused real harm, and he has every reason to be angry.That emotional starting point may feel familiar to teachers preparing to leave the classroom.The hero's greatest strength is the very thing others see as strange. That same pattern shows up for teachers, who often minimize skills like communication, adaptability, leadership, relationship-building, and crisis management because they were treated as “just part of the job.”This episode explores:• Why your “weird” strengths may be your most valuable transferable skills • How networking is really built through trust and reputation • Why leaving teaching can feel like losing part of your identity • The difference between escaping a harmful system and building a better future • Why you are not starting over. You are learning to name what you already know how to doYour transition does not have to stay focused on what education took from you.It can become a rescue mission for your health, confidence, voice, family, and future.LinksThe Beastmaster on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083630/Schedule a free Discovery Session: https://teachersintransition.com/calendarListen to Teachers in Transition: https://teachersintransition.buzzsprout.comQuestions or movie suggestions: Vanessa@TeachersinTransition.comOptional support for the podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/277608/supportSupport the Podcast!If you enjoy this scrappy little indie podcast, please consider:sharing the episode with a teacher friendleaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotifysupporting the show financially starting at just $3/month Support Teachers in Transition  Connect with Vanessa Jackson

I am honored to have sat down with a true icon of 1980s genre cinema: Marc Singer. Join me and Marc Singer as we travel back to 1982 to discuss the legendary sword-and-sorcery epic The Beastmaster. Portraying the heroic Dar, a warrior with the extraordinary ability to communicate telepathically with animals, Marc defined the fantasy hero archetype for an entire generation. Being a movie that was brought into existence during the Golden Era, I feel that this set the tone for a lot of fantasy and action movies (and some remakes). The intense energy that was delivered for the role of Dar is immense and genuine given that this movie was filmed during the times of practical special effects. Over forty years later, the film's message of harmony with nature and standing up against tyranny remains as powerful as ever—and Kodo and Podo still hold a very special place in all of our hearts.

Today Matt & Todd crack open the VHS clamshell and revisit the ultimate case of First Blood at home: 1985's The Park is Mine, starring Tommy Lee Jones;This is Matt & Todd's new venture into the original Parks & Rec[1]: an HBO‑produced 1985 Vietnam-vet-splotation film that plays like First Blood filtered through The A‑Team instead of Sam Peckinpah. Directed by Steven Hilliard Stern, The Park is Mine is fast‑paced, earnest, entertaining, and flawed. There's no question about the talent involved. Tommy Lee Jones brings a grounded intensity, Yaphet Kotto elevates every scene he's in, and the supporting cast delivers exactly the kind of genre‑movie charm you want from a mid‑80s HBO original.Starring:Tommy Lee JonesHelen ShaverEric Peterson — Whit Bissell WinnerLawrence DanePeter Dvorsky — Whit Bissell WinnerYaphet KottoThe violence dialed down and the message… well, also dialed down. What it lacks in blood and thematic clarity, it replaces with brief nudity, explosions, and solid performances. The premise is compelling, even if the film doesn't explore it deeply and seems to rely on your familiarity with other properties to fill in the emotional blanks. But here's the thing: nostalgia carries weight. This movie is etched into the halcyon days of early HBO—when NeverEnding Story, Beastmaster, and Commando looped endlessly and everything felt like it clicked. Maybe we do love us some Tommy Lee Jones and Yaphet Kotto as well, there's probably some bias here but it is fair to say this is more of a worthwhile tangent than a hidden gem.Thanks for coming with us.Footnotes:[1] Unsubstantiated internet rumor[2][2] That I made up.The Park Is Mine is based on a 1981 novel of the same name by Stephen Peters, who also wrote the screen play for 1998's Wild Things.

Tread Perilously dedicates itself to a month of fantasy shows starting with an episode of Beastmaster called "Slayer's Return." After years of wandering, Zuraya seems to have it all worked out. Rolan, the king of a prosperous city state, has lifted her curse of loneliness and they will be married in a few short days. Nevertheless, her wolf, Slayer, seems to hate Rolan. Does he understand something Zuraya is missing? Meanwhile, Dar the Beastmaster continues the search for his long-lost family, all of whom his father turned into animals for their protection. Will these two stories collide when Slayer gets shot with a crossbow bolt? Well, they have to -- it's Beastmaster! Erik recalls the days when HBO stood for "Hey, Beastmaster's On!" Justin calls sword-and-sorcery his favorite subgenre. The lack of male gaze in the show proves welcome even as a surprise guest star appears. The pair try to determine the premise of the show based on their recollections of the original Beastmaster film. Werner Herzog appears with a surprising Disney recommendation. Erik compares star Daniel Goddard to a surprising number of actors, though Goddard proves capable in the role. Opinions about the upcoming Masters of the Universe film are shared. Late 1900s/early 2000s fashions make their way into the Hyborean-esque world of Beastmaster and Slayer proves to be the goodest of boys.

Welcome back to The Chris Abraham Show. This episode collects Sessions 27 28 and 29 of our Dungeons and Dragons campaign The Curse of Strahd and turns them into one continuous descent into Castle Ravenloft.If you are not a D and D person, here is the simple setup. Our small band of adventurers is trapped in Barovia, a mist locked valley ruled by Strahd von Zarovich, an ancient vampire lord with the patience of a spider and the manners of a king. We have been trying to protect Ireena Kolyana from him, recover the Amulet of Ravenkind, and stay alive long enough to do something that matters. Recently we failed to retrieve that amulet in Vallaki, lied to Ireena's brother Ismark to keep him from charging into a suicide mission, and then finally had to admit the truth. Ireena was taken by Strahd.So when the invitation arrives, we accept it. Dinner at Ravenloft. Polite. Civilized. Completely insane.On the road, Barovia reminds us that travel is never just travel. Revenants on a skeletal horse ambush the party and an ogre zombie joins the slaughter. Ismark is dropped in the chaos and only survives because Urihorn rides in on his mountain lion and drags him back from the edge. The undead die laughing with a promise that they will meet us again.Then the castle welcomes us. An unmanned coach. A swaying drawbridge over a gorge. Doors opening by themselves. Rahadin, Strahd's chamberlain, arriving with a choir of invisible screams. A banquet hall glittering with chandeliers and a feast laid out like a joke.Strahd plays the gracious host and then reveals the knife. Ireena enters. So does Yeska, a young altar boy we once tried to keep safe. Both are vampires now. And Ireena is wearing the Amulet of Ravenkind, the holy artifact we lost and desperately needed. The room goes cold in the way only a story can go cold when you realize the villain has been moving pieces you did not even know were on the board.From there, we start exploring Ravenloft and the castle starts teaching us its rules. Vampire spawn watch from the walls. A ruined chapel dares us to touch what should not be touched. Secret passages lead to trapped rooms. A captive accountant named Lief sits chained to a desk keeping Strahd's books like bureaucracy is also immortal. A maid begs to be rescued. A centuries old portrait shows Ireena as if she has always been here.And then the traps get personal. A coffer releases a green gas that drops party members without a fair fight. An animated suit of red armor hunts like a machine and kills Ismark. When we wake later, the castle has rearranged the scene. Bodies are missing. The fire relights itself. Evidence disappears. A bell summons spiders. Burning webs threatens to burn the whole structure down. A tub of blood erupts with a screaming figure and then the blood is gone like it never existed.Finally, a dusty dining room offers one last bait. A wedding cake explodes. And Strahd arrives not as a man in a cape, but as a pressure in the air, an invisible silhouette reaching for us.This is the Ravenloft arc where hospitality becomes horror, where grief becomes motion, and where the castle itself feels like the weapon.Cast and charactersChris as Radley human Eldritch KnightSean D as Urihorn Tenpenny halfling Beastmaster with a mountain lionCary as Perlan Goodshadow halfling MonkTrip as Daermon Cobain elf Arcane TricksterDM Sean SIf you enjoy gothic horror fantasy, actual play storytelling, and campaigns that refuse to let anyone feel comfortable, you are in the right place.

Red Sonja (1985) was chosen by Dave, and it represents one of the most high-profile attempts to expand the sword-and-sorcery boom that followed the success of the early 1980s fantasy epics. Produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by Richard Fleischer, the film was developed as a companion piece to the popularity of Conan-style fantasy cinema, drawing inspiration from the Marvel Comics version of the character rather than directly adapting Robert E. Howard's original prose stories. The production was mounted as an international co-production, with a sizeable budget for the genre and a clear goal of building a new fantasy franchise centered around a female action lead — something still relatively rare in big-budget fantasy filmmaking at the time.Filming took place primarily in Italy, using large-scale practical sets, location shooting, and practical effects typical of mid-1980s fantasy productions. The movie featured a mix of established stars and European genre actors, and leaned heavily on physical stunt work and elaborate costume design rather than visual effects, which were still limited for fantasy filmmaking at the time. Despite heavy promotion and strong name recognition tied to the wider sword-and-sorcery trend, the film struggled critically and commercially on release. However, over time, Red Sonja has developed a cult following, particularly among fans of 1980s fantasy cinema, and is often discussed as part of the era's broader push toward larger-scale, effects-driven fantasy storytelling.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryIn an age of dark magic… one warrior will rise to defy it.Forged by tragedy and driven by vengeance, a lone fighter sets out across a brutal fantasy world where tyrants rule and power is taken by force.

And yes—it somehow works.We break down why Beastmaster 2 became a cable-TV classic (so overplayed on TBS it earned the nickname “The Beastmaster Station”), why it's the only truly fun Beastmaster movie, and how its mix of fantasy, comedy, and 90s culture makes it endlessly rewatchable.Along the way, Johnny Spoiler digs into:Why the “time portal” is actually a parallel universeThe return of Kodo & Podo (ferret continuity corner)Why the animals get sidelined in favor of dimension-hopping brother dramaWings Hauser delivering elite B-movie villain greatnessJames Avery (Uncle Phil!) as the exhausted L.A. cop archetypeSara Douglas (Superman II, Conan the Destroyer) in full dark-fantasy modeKari Wuhrer, Sliders, Hellraiser, and peak 90s genre energyWe also hit Home Video Headlines, where Johnny Spoiler rants about the current state of movies, TikTok trailers, Project Hail Mary hype, Dracula with Christoph Waltz, and why modern cinema feels like it needs a shot of rocket fuel to stay relevant.You'll also get:Favorite bits and cable-era nostalgiaWhy Beastmaster 2 works as family-friendly fantasy funFan questions about reviewing mainstream vs cult moviesStaff picks from Tubi, The Office Season 5, TED, and a renewed interest in Balls of Fury Green lightning. Sword-and-sorcery on Sunset Boulevard. Johnny Spoiler doing what he does best—making sense of movies that absolutely should not exist.Binge now.ProveX https://tr.ee/ProveXJohnnyMeatzy https://tr.ee/GetMeatzyJohnny

And while the film is an homage to those films, it's also tribute to all the others like Conan, Masters of the Universe, The Beastmaster, and even Ray Harryhausen films.

The Summer of '83 concussively concludes with a gloriously metal swords and sorcery adventure helmed by the 1st AD of The Beastmaster, and penned by the writer of Vampire Hookers and Rainbow Brite. Deathstalker, our morally messed up but oddly philosophical anti-hero, is sent on a quest by weird witch Toralva to unite the sword of justice, amulet of life, and chalice of magic in order to “become the power” before the evil Lord Munkar does. Join Javi, Paul and, intrepidly, Producer Brad on this wild ride into wanton violence and chaos that features a creepy meat puppet, a chatty cave ogre, random mud wrestling, a cannibalistic pig man, a gladiator tournament, some very problematic shape-shifting, John Wick's worst nightmare cuisine, a truly epic score, and an unexpectedly bold (and timely) anti-autocracy political statement — all of which somehow spawned three sequels and a very fun 2025 remake executive produced by none other than Slash.

Along the way, he's joined by a loyal eagle, two mischievous ferrets, and a powerful black panther.What unfolds is a classic fantasy tale of destiny, revenge, and the bond between man and nature — filled with mystical temples, daring rescues, and plenty of 1980s sword-and-sandal charm.Released in 1982 and directed by Don Coscarelli — who also brought us the Phantasm horror series — The Beastmaster became a staple of cable TV reruns throughout the ‘80s and early ‘90s.

99 Cent Rental returns after our October break with a listener request. Since we just did Don Coscarelli's 1979 debut, Phantasm, a movie made on tiny, sub-500k budget, we thought it made a lot of sense to see what happens when you break through and Hollywood heaps cash on you to make a proper movie. The result is... very Coscarelli-ish. There's no question whatsoever that Don is well-read on matters of fantasy and science fiction and these being the days before Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies mandated that all fantasy features be epic, high-fantasy blow-outs, Coscarelli reaches back into the pool of gritty sword and sorcery for something as characteristically weird as you'd expect from authors like Poul Anderson, Fritz Lieber, and Robert E. Howard. Is it good, though? Well...The story concerns the hunky, flaxen-haired Dar, the last of his people, who sets out across a dusty landscape seeking vengeance on Maax, the head of a wicked cult in the city of Aruk who will be killed by the son of King Zed. By some unexplainable power, Dar can speak to animals and forms a party of two ferrets, a tiger, and a hawk to have his revenge. Starring Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, and Rip Torn, The Beastmaster lands heavily in the middle of the 1982 surge of fantasy movies that brought us Conan The Barbarian and managed to carve out a sweet cult of fans in spite of its tepid box office performance.Join the Bring Me The Axe Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/snkxuxzJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Bring Me The Axe! on Patreon:⁠https://patreon.com/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:⁠https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠⁠

Nick sits down with filmmaker Don Coscarelli and producer Paul Pepperman to revisit cult favorites The Beastmaster and Phantasm, ahead of their Music Box Theatre screenings in Chicago. They share behind-the-scenes tales from the wild world of 70s independent filmmaking, including ferret-related chaos, tricky actors, and how they somehow snagged a PG rating despite nudity. Later, Esmeralda Leon drops by for a lighter turn, bringing along some cosmic trivia, reflections on Nick's 60th birthday, and highlights from a recent Texas getaway. But things really go off the rails when she launches into a passionate retelling of The Greasy Strangler—a movie so bizarre, it may have broken her brain. From indie classics to absurd oddities, this one covers it all. [Ep 365]

The Bonfire with Big Jay Oakerson and Dan Soder

The Beastmaster himself Justin Silver took a nude selfie 15 years ago and Jay still shows it off to this day. In fact, he makes everyone in the room look at its healthy splendor. | Bobby mentions that he cannot win in a physical fight with his wife because she would outlast him. Justin punched a hotel television like a rock star. Jay remembers Christine taking a swing at him in a booze-filled stupor. This takes him down memory lane of Christine's many drunken misadventures. Christine shares chocolates with everyone to smooth out the aggressive vibe of all the fight stories. | Enjoy an encore episode of Jacob Loves Guys!
