The Cult of Ron & Brian

We Bombed Iran

Another week, another ill-advised war in another country! We talk about the US/Israel attack on Iran and where we go from here. Mayor Mamdani got a Columbia student released from ICE custody, a witness to an ICE murder died in a car "accident", and a blind refugee died in Buffalo after being released by ICE. Two Trump voters are regretting their vote after one of them was detained by ICE, the McDonald's CEO took the smallest burger bite ever, a Tennessee woman was denied treatment by her hospital, and a Kentucky man had sex with a dead deer. a Texas Whattaburger manager showed he knows how to take care of business, a Florida man survived being trapped in quicksand, and a father/daughter combo is facing jail time for beating up a 2nd grade coach and his wife!

I Love The Smell Of Fresh-Brewed Undies In The Morning

If you're a small-town mayor, maybe don't sniff a teenager's dirty panties. If you're a hotel guest, maybe don't wash your dirty undies in the coffee maker in your room. We discuss the Olympics and the USA's gold medals in men's and women's hockey. Canada may have lost, but they were able to start drinking at 6 AM thanks to Doug Ford. We had a mass shooting at a hockey game in Rhode Island, a woman shot her daughter and herself, and Brian talks about a frustrating visit to the Verizon store. A woman left her dog at an airport in Las Vegas and we bid farewell to those we lost this week in Celebrity Obits!

Ron Comes In Threes

We celebrate our three-peat Podcast Champion, Ron! In addition to the results of the Super Bowl bet, we discuss the Super Bowl Halftime Show(s) and commercials. A man had discharge issues for two years before getting help, an Australian man was almost beat to death by a kangaroo, and a Texas man shot his daughter to death and someone avoided getting charged! An HGTV star and a reality star lost work due to racism, a food influencer died after eating deadly seafood, and a conservative Colombian politician is now finding out how bad ICE can be after her son was detained in the US. We also talk about the death of James Van Der Beek and why his family needs a GoFundMe.

A Conversation with Keith Caputo

We discuss our Super Bowl bet, a West Virginia librarian that used TikTok to try and find an assassin, and an Olive Garden cook that didn't practice safe fryer usage. However, the main event of this episode is our conversation with the inimitable Keith Caputo!

The Great Debate

It's time for that hallowed annual tradition - the Podcast Championship Debate! Moderator Marty is back to challenge both Ron and Brian in a tense back and forth to determine the future of the show...and the world!

Snow Is Bad, But ICE Will Kill You

Way too many ICE stories again this week: they let an alleged jewel thief out of the country, an ICE agent pleaded guilty to SA'ing a detainee, they flew a couple of toddlers to Texas, and executed yet another American in the streets of Minnesota. We also discuss our upcoming debate, the results of this weekend's football games, and compare social media clout. A snow plow driver did a little bit of cocaine before getting into an accident, a father confronts a lawyer who allegedly filmed his daughter, and we talk about people being bad in Florida and Pittsburgh!

Killer Bread Machine

We get the scoop on what really happens after a colonoscopy, there's a crotch controversy in ski jumping, and a Florida man was killed at work by an industrial bread machine. There's updates on Travis Turner and his school district, Eric Adams new crypto coin may be a scam, and who's killing the Philly tow truck drivers? Timothy Busfield was arrested for allegedly touching children, Keifer Sutherland was arrested for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver, and Scott Adams provided the first points in this year's death pool. There's way too many Trump stories, from his trip to a Ford plant, him groveling for a Nobel Peace Prize, Gaza Board of Peace Seats for sale, a potential executive order for the Army-Navy game, and his continuing fascination with Greenland. We tell you what we're watching, discuss Jake Lang's visit to Minnesota, and talk about the DePaul point shaving scandal.

F**k ICE (and Celebrate Andrew!)

We welcome Andrew H. - winner of the 2025 Cult of Ron & Brian Death Pool - to discuss his winning year, and we surprise him with his enshrinement in our new Death Pool Hall of Fame! We discuss the many ways in which ICE is horrible, rude Broadway patrons, and the lack of legroom on WestJet. We also talk about a hacktivist deleting racist websites, Oceania Cruises going adults-only, and Brian's inability to understand mailing addresses!

Invasions & Predictions

It's a new year, so we look back on our predictions for 2025 to see what we got right and look ahead to what we can expect in 2026. We crown the 2025 Death Pool champion and discuss who has the best odds of winning this year. A Florida man stole from a meat market while naked, Brian stole meat while fully clothed, and AI duped people into going to the Brooklyn Bridge for New Year's Eve fireworks. Oh yeah, and we invaded Venezuela and overthrew the government!

Brisket & Vagifirm Pills

Just when we thought the Epstein Files couldn't get more disturbing, this week the DOJ released a list of his Amazon purchases. A Florida man shot up his family over an NFL game, a couple is sentenced for trying to sell their baby, and we have an Ask Brian segment! The Secretary of Treasury said Americans should expect big tax refunds this year, a man went on a brisket stealing spree, and Operation Bad Santa arrested a bunch of (alleged) bad men in New Jersey. A woman got upset at Alaska Airlines, a 76-year-old man grew breasts because of his medication, and we talk about what we're watching!
