This week, the fellas spend some time recapping their recent race/weekend getaway on one of the beautiful Lake Erie Islands… AKA Put-In-Bay. It also may or may not have had something to do with the reason we missed recording last week and contributed to our 80% of the time ALL the time promise. Good times were had by all, and we all made it back in one piece. Slightly haggard, slightly sunburnt, slightly stoopid, and slightly more piratey than the last time we hit the water and raced the annual Toledo Yacht Club Mills Cup Race. Also for all you Roller Coaster lovers out there, Tyner The Pirate Chef has just returned from a trip to the best Amusement Park ON THE PLANET!!! Cedar Point… America’s Roller Coast. The place just gets better and better with each passing year (except for the spinny rides, those can kick rocks). Cheers!!!

Maannnn, I've been putting off writing this for quite some time. It took so long for us to address our propensity to procrastinate, that this episode should have happened somewhere in the 60-70 episode range. Today the boys finally faced the issue that The Pirate Chef claims to be one of his biggest shortcomings. Procrastination is an interesting subject. It can really be a problem if it is a chronic occurrence. Some people never do it, some do it constantly. Regardless it has probably affected all of us at one point in our lives. If you put off listening to this episode, we get it. Just promise that you'll get to it eventually... Cheers!!!

Comedy Chaos… This week the fellas explore a subject that at its core is meant for one thing, to make us LAUGH! If that is the case, then why oh why do so many people get offended by comedy in certain cases? Its happened plenty of times in the past, but nowadays seems to really be magnified and more and more has found its way to the forefront of news headlines and talks around the water cooler. We hypothesize that maybe just maybe, it is because comedy does such a good job of pointing out the intricacies of life, and that someone with a bit less thick a skin may feel a joke hit way too close to home… so LIGHTEN UP!!! Laugh a little, and join us this week to realize that life is a joke… and it's on us. CHEERS!!!

If conspiracies are crazy, why are they true? Today we tackle a list of a dozen “Conspiracies” that have turned out to be true (at least to some extent) as time has passed by. NOW… This was a Readers Digest article and these theories were in some cases pretty vanilla or “no duh” when it comes to the deep dark subject of conspiracy. But we managed to find ourselves in some deep waters critiquing the subjects on this list. So please kick back, relax, and enjoy some good ol’ tin foil hat conspiracy conversation. CHEERS!!!

Well folks, today may be where this show takes a turn into the deep and never comes back. Pirate Chef Tyner even received a call from a mysterious man telling him to dial back the red pill truth bombs he was serving up OR ELSE!!! Or that may have been a little white lie. But the lies we discuss today aren’t little and they are not white. They are lies that are specifically told in order to make the masses believe or act in a certain way. Whether the direction it leads you is for good or bad, that is up to you to decide. But it is apparent at this point that there is definitely a narrative being sold and we as the inhabitants of this world are spooning it up like superman ice cream. So sit back, listen up, and decide for yourselves which side the agents of disinformation the Shit Gets Deep crew is playing for. CHEERS!!!

Spring, sprang, spring… this week we discussed all things Spring. The season, when everything comes back to life after a long winter. At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Topics included a few of our favorite activities that return to full swing (no pun intended) once the warmth and sunshine return. So please, join us and enjoy this week’s discussion on springtime. Cheers!!!

Being a good person seems like it should be the simplest of goals to accomplish. And being mindful of a couple simple things seems like that will get the job done. However after this conversation, some of us… (The Pirate Chef in particular) couldn’t help realizing that part of being a good person, is to continually be working on yourself. There are always improvements that can be made. NOW, did TPC spiral into uncomfortable introspection and a self-loathing puddle of regrets every step of the way while recording this episode while Just Scott just sat and watched? YEP! But change never comes from being comfortable, and having your ego in check and your mind focused on the positive things in life will go a long way to help all of us become that person we strive to be. So PLEASE be kind, spread love, be honest, and treat others the way you would like to be treated, and maybe just maybe we come out of this all right. CHEERS!!! You know we love our Luxe Bidet because we talk about it every episode!

Today's episode was a special one for the fellas and their guest. Because this particular subject is one that has moved them, figuratively and literally, their whole lives. From our mother's heartbeats, to the thundering of a drum set at our final concert, beats and rhythm provide an underlying soundtrack to the majority of our lives. We dove deep into actual drumming and its intricacies. And also just about every other angle of percussion we could muster over the course of our conversation. So spin a stick, slam that crash cymbal, and join us for today's talk on Drums.

First and foremost THANK YOU! Each and every one of you, for being here with us today, for what can only be described as a milestone we have all achieved as a collective. Each and every one of you and all our guests throughout the last couple years who have been here for all our hijinks, hiccups, highlights, lowlights, and everything in between THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. THE CENTURY MARK, numero 100!!! Today, we had the pleasure of getting the band back together and Joshua, Cody, Tyner, and Scott sat down to recap and reminisce about the previous 99 episodes we have put forth. There were many shout-outs to be had, times to be remembered, and of course… a couple ghost stories because Cody and Joshua just can’t stop buying haunted houses. AND NOW… COMING TO YOU FROM THE WESTERN BASIN OF LAKE ERIE, WE PROUDLY PRESENT TO YOU…. SHIT, GETS, DEEP… Episode 100. Cheers!!!

Much like a couple of episodes ago when Just Scott claimed to not know anything about MMA, one of the guys didn’t think they had much knowledge on today’s subject at hand. But that DIDN’T stop Tyner The Pirate Chef from blabbering on about things he realized were relevant while the guys were in the middle of today’s conversation. (Did you really expected anything else?) And today we’re talking sound…. All things sound. Of course we found our way into the realm of music, how could we not? But also devolved quickly into the realization that sound, much like everything else, is just waves and the frequency of those waves being interpreted by our quantum flesh computers. Hopefully you like the way this week sounds. Episode #99 Comin’ in HOT! Cheers!!!

Jah will provide you with all good things. And Jah also inspired Just Scott and The Pirate Chef to provide you with an episode discussing one of their favorite Genres of music. Reggae baby! Call it Island music, feel good music, whatever you’d like. But if a little reggae and a cold drink in your hand with your toes in the sand doesn’t bring a smile to your face…. we here at the Shit Gets Deep Podcast say GO KICK ROCKS ya Bombaclot! Today we took the time to give a brief history of and deep dive into the world of Reggae Music. And honestly we can’t believe it has taken us this long to focus on Reggae (Not to be confused with Reggie, there are too many famous Reggie’s apparently) which has influenced countless artists from other genres of music since its early days in the 1960s. So please, get yourself a meat pocket, some jerk chicken, a Red Stripe (maybe a big fat spliff if that’s your thing), and pop in an 8 track of Toots and the Maytals to take yourself to a sunny positive place. The King Bob Marley said it best, “Just can’t live that negative way, make way for the positive day.” CHEERS!!!

This week’s episode has been in the works for quite some time. And MAN it feels good to finally have gotten this week’s guest into Studio B for some conversation, insight and of course some laughs. Thanks to promotions like the UFC, Bellator, and One FC, Mixed Martial Arts has become one of the most popular sports/spectacles in a short period of time. And Tyner The Pirate Chef has been an avid/rabid fan since day one. Just Scott on the other hand, likes West Ham United and all other sports can kick rocks. What better way to school Science Scott, and entertain our listeners than to have a guest who knows a thing or two about combat sports of all sorts. Leroy BIG Johnson has fought for several promotions including Bellator, PFL, and WXC. He also has competed in wrestling through the collegiate level, had an interesting Romanian Kick Boxing bout (tune in to hear about that one), and likes to roll in some Jiu Jitsu tournaments as well. Being that he just happens to be The Pirate Chef’s Brother-In-Law, the two of them have some stories between them that TPC was DYING to tell on the podcast. So please, strap in and join us for some fisticuffs, grappling, and good conversation. LETS GET IT ON!!! Cheers!!!

This week the fellas felt like it had been a good while since a freestyle session had taken place. Which was all gravy, but Just Scott had other plans. Unbeknownst to Tyner The Pirate Chef, Just Scott had a couple few questions in store for Ol’ Pirate Chef, and the tangents and angles those questions took the duo will not disappoint. A sampling of some of the subjects that were covered… Chuck Norris, Nachos, Durian/Dog The Bounty Hunter’s dirty balloon knot, Robots on Acid, World Records, Hiccups, AND the double pipe classic dilemma. If none of this makes sense to you, it shouldn’t. However, if you come along for the ride with us this week, it will all be cleared up by the time the end credits roll. A special thanks to John Lilly’s crazy ass for inventing the sensory deprivation chamber and doing intravenous Ketamine and LSD while telepathically communicating with horny dolphins (TPC will clear that up for you as well). As always, Love y’all…. Cheers!!!

Psychological experiments can be looked at several ways. Especially when considering the reasons they are being conducted. Is it for the enrichment of people, to better understand what it is that makes us tick or what could help us be happier? Or is it to understand how we think, and how we can be manipulated into certain behavioral patterns? Maybe benevolent, maybe sinister, or maybe just for the sake of science. The first true psychological experiments were thought to be performed by Wilhelm Wundt in 1879, and since then countless studies have taken place. One such experiment was conducted by Stanley Milgram and it produced some WILD results. The testing took place in the early 1960’s with the purpose of testing peoples obedience to authority figures, and the resulting outcome was nothing short of shocking (there’s a pun here, tune in to enjoy). So please, join us for the ride as we go down the rabbit hole on how humans react to authority figures and the propensity to obey when you are told to do so. It should give you all some insight to things that are still taking place in our current state of affairs. THEY LIVE might just be a documentary… CHEERS!!!

In life, we all decide which direction we take in the “choose your own adventure book” that becomes known as our life’s path. Nobody does it quite like the next person. And even if you try to follow in someone else’s footsteps, chances are you’re not going to end up at the same destination anyhow. This week’s episode, the boys decide to explore the notion of how sometimes the smallest thing sends one’s life on a tangent that forever changes who they are and where they end up. And also have some fun recollecting their own lives paths and how hindsight is certainly 20/20 when looking in the rear view mirror. Hopefully you can enjoy looking back on your ride, and smile about where you are currently. And with some luck, stare down your future and end up just where you wanted to be. Cheers!!!

The time honored tradition of sport and competition happens every 4 years in the spectacle we refer to as the Olympics. In the not so recent past, the Olympics were a HUGE part of the news cycle and garnered the attention of most of us for the better part of a month. We loved the build up! The torch may have made its way through your town, and there was a focus placed on the games in all forms of media. It was splattered across the headlines of local and national newspapers, Olympians graced the covers of all the major magazines, and the nightly news was Olympic heavy for the month leading up to the games and then most likely several weeks afterward recapping the recent events. So we ask…. WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? Maybe Just Scott and Tyner The Pirate Chef are just out of touch and not paying attention, but the Olympics seem to have lost some of their luster. Gone are the days of Bart Connor and Mary Lou Retton being national heroes and the focus of conversation at dinner tables around the country. Join us this week to remember what the Olympics once were, and try to figure how they have fallen out of the limelight in the blink of an eye. Light up that giant torch and enjoy, CHEERS!!!

Who enjoys having their brain melted by facts and figures that explain the very reality we exist in? Or finding out that the only way to travel to far distant galaxies is to bend space and time to circumvent the pesky speed of light dilemma? Soooo many questions, and oddly enough our guest today… returning for his second SGD appearance… Todd “The String Supreme” Kundrat not only had the answers to those questions, he was able to back those answers up with SCIENCE and Mathematics! It’s definitely a far cry from the last time Todd joined us to talk about all things Punk Music (Episode #49 Punk Rock 101) but hey, nobody likes driving in just one lane. Variety is the spice of life! So please, join us on a journey through the cosmos, wrapped in String Theory, and drenched in the sweat pouring off The Pirate Chef’s brow as his ears were smoking due to the grinding gears of his underpowered brain. Today SHIT GETS DEEP quite literally. So please, enjoy the show. CHEERS!!

Old man winter showed up in the Western Basin of Lake Erie and finally did not disappoint us with the amount of snow and cold he brought with him. Tyner The Pirate Chef braved the elements and in the midst of the storm, and somehow (using 4x4) made it down to Studio B to get this week’s episode in. We definitely didn’t want to leave you all episodeless for a week, so we discussed our current meteorological situation. Who doesn’t love a SNOW DAY!?! Now… did we veer off the winter path and talk about Food and Music the whole time??? Yes we did (seems to be pretty standard for us at this point). Anyhow, bundle up… hop on your snow machine… and put er in low eh? It’s winter conditions. Cheers!!!

In our first conversation about Antarctica a couple weeks ago, we covered the incredible natural occurrences and unbelievable features of the continent we know as Antarctica. Nature’s wonder is incredible all by itself (without even a mention of Nazi bases and entrances to center earth). Aside from a bit of talk about Operation Highjump, we attempted to keep things on the straight and narrow for the most part. We held our tongues about the craziness that has long been discussed in certain circles as “known facts” or at least researchable rumors. There are definitely some bread crumbs and Reese’s Pieces that can be followed that produce some pretty incredible results once you connect some dots. So, yeah…. we know we are speaking some wild, out there, speculative “facts” on today’s episode. And yeah, we also know that sometimes the sensationalism of Alien crafts under the ice and Arctic Pyramid complexes is too far out there for the majority of the general population. BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT WE DO!!! So please, put on one of Troy’s Tin Foil Hats… and dive deep with us into what promises to be one of the weirdest, wildest, most out there, and most conspiracy soaked episodes we have ever recorded. So please, enjoy the ride… Pindar is waiting to meet you at the end of this one, sweet Hugo Boss outfit and all. Cheers!!!

Buckle up buttercups, today we chose to venture into the land of awake vs. asleep. In a completely philosophical sense of course. A true study in perspective. Are you sleeping or are you awake? The Awake vs. Asleep debate is used as a euphemism for how you decide to stroll through life. Do you tend to put on blinders and walk with the herd, or do you sit on the overlook and observe the herd’s movements (usually wondering…. Why in the world would they do that!)? It seems that today, there are a lot of people who are opening their eyes for the very first time. And once you have done so, it becomes more and more obvious when you interact with someone who has yet to crack open an eyelid. Things have seemed to go full speed ahead into the land of life being stranger than fiction, and it seems to have really jolted a large group out us out of our sweet sweet ignorant slumber. And is ignorance bliss? That is truly the other side of the equation. Everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of what they chose to see, not see, or unsee. And after this discussion, Science Scott and Tyner The Pirate Chef were sure of one thing… being awake definitely has its pitfalls, and being asleep might just be the easier path to walk. Which way do you chose? Please, join us and decide for yourself. CHEERS!!!
