This week the gang gathers around to discuss the special gift the Commonwealth of Virginia sent him when he returned home from Guys Weekend and that leads into a discussion on car insurance discounts and payouts.  Then they talk about a new issue Fatty hopes was a quick hiccup in the performance of his vehicle which will likely turn into wishful thinking.  Rounding out the main topics for the week they talk about food things that they wouldn't miss if they vanished from the planet.   Sarcastro notes his poor choice was to allow Prince Sarcastro to use his (Sarcastro's) Facebook profile to purchase and sell Pokemon cards on Marketplace.  Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

This week while Corporal is tending to some family matters the rest of the gang gets together to recap the misadventures of their annual Guys Weekend trip.  This year included karaoke, more screen time than expected to watch a bad movie and a good movie, more Farkle than you can shake a stick at, a day at the range and the bar, an overflowing port-a-potty, a ceremony celebrating Corporal's honor of being the first man down the previous year and then a repeat performance from him on the final night making him also the second man down.  Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

This week the entire group gets together to talk about a new item Fatty's children gave him for the car which inspires his new muscial alter ego.  They also talk about coming up with a bar betting game involving the terrible Malort concoction Fatty is prepping for Guys Weekened and targeted AARP ads on social media that make the group feel older than they should. In the poor choices for the week, Commando tries to learn to play some of the new types of trading card games with his son which proves more difficult than expected due to the fine print on the cards and eventually stopped during the game tutorial. Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty, and Banky discuss mixing Malort and various candies to make an even worse beverage to try at Guys Weekend and have a quick conversation about Red Bull and Corporal having an unfortunate experience with a lot of it almost 20 years ago.   Corporal breaks down why festivals aren't as fun as they used to be.  Fatty brings up the recent ruling on if Buffalo Wild Wings can call their boneless wings, boneless wings and that leads into a conversation about the best garbage pizza chains and how Sbarro is somehow still around even with the death of the shopping mall where they so often found a home.  This gives Banky an idea on how to use they dying mall industry for the show. Banky reveals his poor choice of the week in sharinig his acquistion of a piece of video game nostalgia with the group.  Fatty makes a poor choice in thinking just because he cooked, someone else might clean the one pot he didn't wash after making the family a nice dinner.  Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

This week the gang talks about getting greeting cards and who sends them for events, who hates getting them and what is the general feeling for what to do with the card once you have it.  Prince Sarcastro turns out to be running a lucrative business buying and selling sports cards while Sarcastro makes a poor choice in ignoring his own advice on selling things for less than $50 on social media.  Then they go through Kickstarter projects they've funded and been burned by (especially Banky) and then after seeing a lot of the projects that are listed on the site which are made of some questionable products and content, which inspires them to come up with a campaign to help finance the POoRCHoices compound.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

This week Fatty talks about a new gaming device he has for Sarcastro to try during the annual Guys Weekend trip which leads into a discussion about games they played in the arcades and computers in the 80's and 90's (and for Commando, still plays them today) including a game where you simulate working as a bartender and for Sarcastro and Fatty a text based game where you work the ecomonics of being a drug dealer in a supply and demand simulation.  They also reflect on the early days of the consumer internet where they would just create and download sound clips after Fatty discloses he found the catalog from his first Gateway desktop from the late 90's and remember what it was like to use services like Napster or LimeWire to wait hours or days for a four minute song. In Olympics coverage, Commando admits his new obsession with the sport of curling as it's a sport he could play it but he wouldn't understand how the scoring works and the group determines bobsled racing would be their team sport.  Fatty suggests that they have their own version of Olympic events at Guys Weekend. After finding that Lady Jarvis was guilty of trying to use expired condiments, Banky poses the question of how long are condiments stored in your refrigerator safe to consume once they pass that printed on date. Commando's poor choice for the week comes down to falling prey to the ads in his social media feeds while doomscrolling which becomes relatable to the rest of the gang.  Fatty's poor choices is not letting well-enough alone and always pushing for that one step beyond on a project. Sarcastro sacrifices his recording space to Prince Sarcastro and a friend to play video games.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar) 

This week Corporal, Sarcastro, Fatty and Banky get together to talk about options for the service staff for the POoRCHoices compound including a pitch for trained chimps and emperor penguins which get scrapped in favor of Fatty's dream of having a three-quarters scale Johnny Five from Short Circuit and a full size Jinx from Sapce Camp as part of the service crew.   They also discuss movies and shows they've been watching including the 2025 released The Toxic Avenger; One Battle After Another; The Life of Chuck; The Last Frontier; Fallout; and The Running Man (2025).  This also leads into a quick conversation of trying to watch a show with others in your household and how they tend to "cheat" on the other viewers by watching ahead. Guys weekend is starting to look promising for having running water at the cabin and plenty of cleared out snow to be able to park and do things outside.   Fatty confirms he has the karaoke set up ready to go and Corporal gets probation on sharing a room with Sarcastro provided he gets a CPAP.  Rounding it out they come up with an idea for their new John Wick style movie or show using the mascots from the fast food chains throughout the Untited States.   Intro and Outro music written and performed by Andrés Rodríguez (Androzguitar)

This week the fellas get together to record on Commanod's birthday to talk about mansplaining and shelabortating and how they've done both of those things.  Fatty addresses an issue with another patron at the Goodwill store regarding publicly using their mobile phone without bluetooth headphones.    In the line of poor choices, Fatty gets dissapointed with the free survival gift that came with his recent holster purchase that claimed to be valued at $50 considering how many add-ons he had to get in order to get the free gift.  Sarcastro finds what may be a sacrificial animal while walking on the trails near his home.  Commando continues to face issues with his free snow blower that keeps costing him time and money.
