Matt's hungover and the guys agree that on the occasion of their 50th episode that the time has once again arrived to celebrate the wellspring of content that is the Reddit website. They moan some names, discuss toilet etiquette, weigh in on genital tattoos, judge a guy for unrealistic baby beauty standards, tear down the Confederate flag, and take an offensive name for a dog behind the shed and shoot it with finger guns. That's a lot packed into one episode, and it's worthy of a 21 finger gun salute.We can be found on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Gmail @wreckyourpodAnd on the CastJunkie Discord Server: https://discord.gg/z5GMvpmyTZ

The first rule of Dinosaur Nipple Butter Gun Club is Don't Wreck Yourself. Admittedly, this one gets weird.

No seriously, there's a murder, but also in a fun way. Trust us, it will be okay.

Silverback to the Future

Technical problems create an open loop in the timestream as Matt and Ryan take on a tale from a Victorian era legal dispute that proves your rights end at the tip of your nose... even if your nose has been bitten off and spit onto the floor. Then they discuss a viral image that lives at the intersection of privacy and public health, and then they squeeze in a r/nostupidquestions topic about who is the top banana in the primate fight club. Then disaster strikes, and from the ashes (sic?) emerges an edgy corporate tweet from PBR encouraging their customers to get into a whole new kind of can during Dry January.Find us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and gmail: @wreckyourpodChat with us on the Cast Junkie Discord server: https://discord.gg/6wCKyq5ttn
