We're kicking things off with a hilariously cynical deep-dive into Memorial Day Weekend parties. Hear us wax lyrical about the joys of Q's hatred for hot dogs, our favorite atmosphere for a party, and drinks that taste suspiciously like lighter fluid. We're dishing out hot takes on our favorite (read: most feared) foods, the best ways to get sloshed. Then, we're shifting gears to dissect the grand finale of "Succession." Who triumphed in the cutthroat family power struggle? Did it satisfy our bloodlust? And why are some viewers clamoring for more corporate backstabbing - are they okay?! We'll chat about what tickled our fancy, and deliver a few punchlines for those die-hards who thought more episodes were necessary. Next up: "Ted Lasso." Sure, the show came with a lot of promise, but so did the Titanic, and we all know how that turned out. We'll go full roast-mode on the show's questionable plot lines and sometimes cringeworthy writing. Expect some chuckles and a healthy dose of British wit as we spill the tea on this bumbling ball coach. Finally, we get to your favorite segment, "Asshole of the Week," where we honor the most facepalm-worthy individuals from the past seven days. Will it be a politician with a penchant for foot-in-mouth moments, or a celeb who thought we cared about their juice cleanse? Tune in to find out! Join us on the Second Mouse Podcast, where we might be late to the party, but we're always on time for a good laugh!

Welcome back, weary travelers of the world, to another episode of The Second Mouse Podcast, where we joyously dissect the misery of current events and societal absurdities. We start our cynical journey with a cheerful chat about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's ambition to become the president. We take a painful delight in highlighting how, if his presidency is anything like his governorship, it'll be more of a 'Trump: The Sequel' rather than an original masterpiece. Who needs a puppet show when you have DeSantis's presidential run? As we step away from the political dumpster fire, we pivot towards the basketball court. It seems like the NBA legend, LeBron James, may be hanging up his jersey for good, or perhaps donning a new one with the New York Knicks. We'll contemplate whether shifting to the Knicks is the 'best' case scenario for him, or just another tragic tale of a fallen hero. From there, we plunge into the grim world of loneliness, because why should the show get any cheerier? According to some very cheerful researchers, adults are getting lonelier and it's causing health issues. Let's face it, who needs physical health when mental health is spiraling down into the abyss? We promise it's not all doom and gloom (Spoiler: It kinda is). And of course, as per our hallowed tradition, we'll have our 'Assholes of the Week' segment, where we single out those special individuals making the world just a bit more unbearable. Following this, we've got the 'Picks of the Week', which will likely involve some sort of escapism to momentarily forget the world's woes. As a cherry on top of our cynicism sundae, we've roped in a special guest to join the fray at the end of the show. This episode will challenge your faith in humanity, but in the most entertaining way possible. So buckle up, listeners, for another joyride through the macabre theme park we call The Second Mouse Podcast.

On this episode of the Second Mouse Podcast, we're bridging the gap between the hardcourt and hard drives. First up, we delve into the controversial topic of Ja Morant and his concerning behavior on Instagram Live. The young Grizzlies star's penchant for showcasing firearms on his livestreams has alarmed fans and critics alike. We explore the potential implications of his actions, both for his career and for the NBA at large. Is it a plea for attention, an off-beat hobby, or a serious issue that requires intervention? Let's dissect the issue. Then we pivot to the Big Apple, where Knicks fans are nursing their postseason wounds. The Knicks' playoff run came to a premature end this year, but is it all doom and gloom? We take a deep dive into their performance, scrutinize the highs and lows, and grade their season. Was it a successful campaign? Or a painful step back? Stay tuned as we give our hot takes and cold, hard analysis. Finally, we step off the court and into the realm of technology. Artificial intelligence has been hailed as the future of innovation but also carries potential risks that make some wonder if it's our impending doom. We have an in-depth conversation about this digital Pandora's Box: its potential, its threats, and how humanity can harness this power without succumbing to it. We'll also explore some of the ethical dilemmas that come with AI and question where we might be heading in this brave new world. Join us for a whirlwind discussion that melds sports, technology, and philosophy on this episode of the Second Mouse Podcast! Buckle up, it's going to be an interesting ride.

At one time or another in your sheltered life you decided to venture out into the wilderness in hopes of escaping your sad work laden existence, searching for the glamourous unfettered beauty of the outdoors. Maybe it was a spiritual awakening yourself through shrooms thing you saw in a movie or heard on a hardo podcast but more likely the sole motivation was to snap a selfie portraying yourself as outdoor and adventurous (gots to do it for the gram!), the most edgy thing you can do without edge. While you thought you'd just walk along flat red clay trail easily identified by markers that took you to scenic overlooks and cascading falls, you soon realize that you're going to spend the next few hours walking in a muddy trench through the path of least resistance occupying yourself with looking at trees in hopes of catching a faint shade of spray paint as your guidance because you never learned the basics of navigation. When you finally make it back to your car which now is sovereign territory to a pack of raccoons, you realize that below the skin irritation on the back of your arm you most certainly believe is from poison sumac, now lives the juiciest tick slurping your life force from you in microgram doses. The tick had engrained and entrenched itself so well into you that you could almost sense its thoughts in this parasitic relationship. You decided that it was just going to be there forever until Rupert Murdoch emerged from the brush, newest wife in tow and flicked the tick from your arm into oblivion with ease. Tom isn't here to save you from the mind f**k of this episode.

In this action-packed episode of the Second Mouse Podcast, we go behind bars to bring you an exclusive interview with Gatto, who's currently being held at Alcatraz for crashing the "Love is Blind" live show.

Is age really just a number, or should we be rethinking our approach to aging?2023 NFL Draft: We dive deep into the burning question on every football fan's mind - which quarterback will be the top pick in this year's draft? Will it be a surprise, or has the favorite already been crowned?Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson: We discuss Jalen Hurts' recent contract extension and explore the implications for Lamar Jackson's future. Is this a sign of things to come, or just another piece in the ever-changing NFL puzzle?The GOP and Clarence Thomas: We tackle the latest controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and allegations of accepting money from undisclosed sources. How does this reflect on the GOP, and what are the ramifications of Ronnie D's pudding fingers?Assholes and Picks of the Week: As always, we're sharing our picks for the biggest assholes and the best highlights from the past week.

Okay, so we did a bad. We fell for it and thought Trump was going to jail on Monday...our bad.  Buuuut...we did have some other great discussions about how noted "breeder" (her words) Bethany Mandel could not define the term woke and got burned on national television and then social media. We also dive into NFL free agency and what that means for the New York Giants and Washington Commandos.  Q and Tom will also reflect on weather Aaron Rodgers will be insufferable in Green Bay or in New York this year. He doesn't seem to interested in either.  But that's not all - we want YOU to join the conversation too! Head over to our Discord channel and jump into the discussion.

Tyler joins the mouse this week and keeps things interesting as we discuss the beginning of spring training and all things soccer. Aside from Q, the mouse is excited for new changes taking effect in MLB and the mouse debates why the new pitch clock is a welcomed change. While East Palestine is feeling the effects of a major disaster, Biden was busy handling things half way around the world, Why does it seem like Presidents never want to address the problems in our own backyard first and how does this blunder effect his reception with small town America? We talk about it all this episode and its a good one with plenty of laughs and things to keep you amused. Don't miss this one!

We were down a mouse this week luckily Philly showed up and kept Q and Tom from spending the whole episode talking about their fondness for charcuterie and its associated paraphernalia. We've got sports, we've got politics, we've got spy balloons and possibly a few jokes if dark humor and self-flagellation is your gig, you want to hear this. If you love the episode join our discord, we make sure to keep it extra weird for your liking.

We talk the wild ride from bore to score as we reflect on philly's auto-pilot through the playoffs and the battle for Burrowhead. While Niners shut down early, a few extra downs in KC had us scratching our heads. Lastly, we give our predictions for the Super Bowl as we head into pro-bowl week. We turn back in time as we share our most cringe high school stories. Just as we are trying to repress those memories again, friends of the pod chime in with some mind blowing tales of their own. If you have a cringe high school story, join our discord and share it with us!

We almost renamed this episode 'The Lucky Losers' since we barely touched on any of the teams that won the divisional round, they won, they're good, enough said. Instead we cringe over the how the Giants slept through their game, scratch our heads over the Bills, pretend to be shocked over the Jags and ponder if the curse of the cowboys truly exists (of course not, they just can't string two wins together in the playoffs to save their lives). We touch on the coaching carousel and Brady's season ending demise before we do our best impersonations of gateway pundits, where the only convincible part of that was our blood alcohol levels. Seriously though Biden, get it together, we can barely keep up with the delusional fabrications of George Santos and Steven Crowder. Anyhow, good laughs and even better picks of the week, so listen in if you haven't already. Join our Discord, Watch on Twitch, Tell your friends.

We break down the first week of the NFL playoffs, skipping over little to nothing this episode. We talk more coaching carousel and what we think is becoming of Brandon Staley's role with the Chargers. Things were a little different this week (good different if you ask us) as we've taken the pod live on Twitch. Friends of the pod joined in, giving their takes and asking us questions, we loved it and hope to do more of it. We rounded out our NFL discussion with some predictions for this week. We hope you listen in, jump on the discord and let us know what your feelings are about this past week's discussion.

The NFL regular season is officially over which means only one thing: Firings have commenced. Its the time of year that coaches get their performance reviews, unfortunately for them it is pass or get out. The second mouse breakdowns what jobs are open and who might fill them best. We talk Tua in Miami and who might be the best to fill in. Tom reacts to his Washington Commanders and how much they miss Sean McVay on the payroll. Lastly, we make playoff predictions about who will end up in Arizona before reflecting on the hysterically depressing start to most recent congressional session. Just like Lovie, we wonder if McCarthy's days are already numbered as house speaker.  Don't forget to stick around to the end, we give our weekly assholes (and heroes) of the week and we let know what we have been watching with our picks of the week. This segment is sure not to disappoint, (Proceed with caution: spoilers ahead)

The Holidays are over, its a new year and you've already given up on your resolutions. Cool, us too. What we haven't given up on is bringing you another great episode of the Second Mouse. We drop right into 2023 with a review of The Recruit and why we can only assume the writer's room launched a psyop campaign against itself. We get into all the great sports games we watched during the holidays before landing on our beloved Giants doing what nobody expected them to and how the Commanders Wentz'd themselves out of the wildcard, something they weren't apparently aware of. We talk Michigan Jim, NFL's COY and reflect on who surprised us the most this year players and coaches alike. At some point, We slip briefly into the fabricated reality of George Santos, who's story gets more bizarre by the moment.  Dont forget our fan favorite segments, where we keep to tradition calling out societies weekly assholes and what caught our eyes in Entertainment.

It's the Friday before Christmas and you're trying to wrap up that last minute work thing and get a jump on the weekend. Speaking of wrapping, theres still a dozen gifts hiding in the back of your closet that have yet to be wrapped (who are we kidding, you plan to throw that ugly Christmas sweater in a gift bag). Speaking of ugly Christmas sweater, your buddy invited you to a pub crawl tonight. You dont have high expectations but do hope that cute girl from the last one will be there again and towards the end of the night, that god forsaken Christmas song with Mariah Carey comes on and you both scream it into eachother's faces under some Holly and take it back to your place for a little unwrapping as a yule log burns in the fire place (wtf is a yule anyhow?!). So you take care of the work shit, the presents and head out to the bar with your most hideous sweater on and sure enough hot girl is there, one problem though. She wont stop talking about this week's Second Mouse Podcast and because you didnt take the short time time to listen she ends up going home and getting naughty on someone else's list. Moral of the Story: Listen to this episode. Happy Holidays!

Imagine coming into being as sliced bologna. You live layered between wax papers, sheltered from the world by your plastic packaging, well within your shelf life. The only expectation for you is to be a delicatessen's delight but one day a darked haired girl decides you're the package that will nourish her, however things tend not to work out the way you expect and before long some slack jawed weirdo (probably named Pete or Tom) slaps you on a piece of wonder bread and begins to mound hellman's and frenches on your bare exposed meaty flesh. At first this probably feels terrible, awkward and unusual but as your oily skin mixes with the emulsified eggwhites and pungent seed sauce, the smothering only makes you feel more alive. It is at this point that one intrusive thought has taken the last of your sensibility, you desire nothing but to be consumed and will stop at nothing to achieve a level of nothingness. All of which culminates into being chewed up, rather loudly and then bird beaked into Elon Musk's mouth where it mingles with the plaque on his molars. What a crazy metaphor for the direction Kanye's life has taken, but not inaccurate.  Anyhow, we think you gotta listen to this episode, its ridiculous and much better for your health that an open face bologna sandwich.

"We're gonna be completely honest... We done messed up. We're late to the party and brought a Costco sized container of warm potato salad. We didn't even ladle that sh*t into a serving bowl. And hate to break it to you, we're going to ask you to cover the cost plus the gas to go get it. Just Venmo us, we'll wait. Fully aware we are the worst. I guess better late than never.  We just couldn't divert our attention long enough from the big hats. The absolute pinnacle of where society is headed, moving towards a convergence of humanity and Minecraft. We cant wait, in an instant it completely replaced the cowboy hat and its entire cultural and majestically paradoxical history of buffoonery.  We are enamored by the thought that there is potentially an infinite nesting set of hats sitting beneath that apex lid. We are not worthy. You are not worthy. You should still listen to this episode. It will make you more worthy. Do this now... Just do it... do it.... DO IT! " -Shia LeBeouf

Happy Thanksgiving you filthy Animals! We made this particular episode with you, our cherished listener, in mind. It's more juicy than that bird on your dinner table will ever be! This episode will arm you with everything you need to run out the clock on your argumentative drunk uncle before he baby barfs bourbon on himself and goes to lay down.  Economy, Politics, Sports, The meaning of life, its all here, just hit play. On a serious note, We are thankful for our growing listener base, if it wasn't for the the great reception and feedback we've received, we would of stopped doing this a long time ago and we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge you before we start shoveling pumpkin pie down our throats. Thanks listeners, ENJOY!
