During the LIVE first half of the show, Dean and Jay reminisce about the Matrix trilogy inspired by Jay's Morpheus sunglasses (what a tool). They tell stories about their old Italian neighbor Louie who can't remember Dean's name and thinks he's crippled.  The second half of the show is audio-only, so if you watched the show live, make sure to tune in for the second half! Dean and Jay talk about their musical influences, how songs and albums tie back to memories, and how music was a major part of who they became as people growing up.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

Jay's vaping days are numbers as Massachusetts overreacts dramatically to a few vaping deaths. In a meandering episode, the boys discuss everything from Frank Thomas' massive head to vaping laws. A history lesson is in order, as Dean and Jay go down the rabbit hole of which historical figures they'd most like to bitch slap.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

Jay and Dean explore the recent SNL hiring scandal as they ask the question, can racism in a comedic context ever be acceptable?

Dean recounts his ghost pepper challenge episode. In great detail. In too much detail. Jay hates the RMV, just like the rest of us. But when Jay hates something, it's a lot worse than when most of us hate something.

Dean and Jay, with appearances from Macho Man Randy Savage, discuss Dean's prematurely aborted camping trip and the comedy of errors that come with being a city boy trying out the woods for the first time. As if that weren't bad enough, the backwoods people of northern Maine are seemingly all robot agents of the Matrix.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

The boys discuss the recent tragedies in America, and give their perspective on what can be done to curb the onslaught of violence across the country.  The conversation gets a more lighthearted, though, as Dean gives his take on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

The gents answer the question: can babies be ugly?  Oh, and Jay rage quits the show. True story.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

In this rambling, sweaty episode, the guys are in rare form. Dean has a sunburn and isn't happy about it, and Jay rants about a recent terrible customer service experience.  Jay also makes a deal with a Poop Devil in this chaotic Belligerence experience.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

Ahh, celebrity conspiracy theories. The pig orgy of American pop culture. The boys talk about Keanu Reaves' immortal journey through centuries, the Paul Is Dead conspiracy from the 1960s, and touch on a couple of other mysteries from the world of Hollywood.  Dean also recounts his awkward wedding experience, and Jay, who's lived a much longer life, tells some stories from his past.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

In the Season 2 premiere, Jay makes his triumphant return to the host chair.

In a return to less serious topics, we discover that Jay's balls don't work anymore. No real surprise there.  Dean doesn't like being touched and made a fool out of himself at a massage parlor. The boys also discuss the manliest of topics: red meat and where to find it.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

Why are we going here?  Jay's niece Gina joins the guys to discuss the current insanity that are abortion laws in America. An interesting discussion, but one that may be difficult to hear at times.  On a lighter note, the guys mock Gina's disastrous dating life and talk about their experiences as failed rock stars.  Theme Song - "Belligerence" by Echo Kraft --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support

Relax, we're not discussing porn per se. Instead, Dean and Jay talk about the proliferation of porn, it's impact on society and relationships, and whether or not it's contributing to the overall devaluation of sex and love. Heavy stuff, man. Oh, and there's also our review of the hellish nightmare that is the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. And we fight about ghosts, more specifically their existence (or lack thereof).  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/belligerence/support
