  • Bucket List
    May 8 2025

    Buckle up for a hilariously unpredictable ride in this episode of The Full Scoop! Alan, Winston, and Johnny kick things off with some darkly comedic musings on morgue employment and the ever-contentious topic of daylight saving time. Their signature banter sets the stage for a wide-ranging discussion that playfully bounces from a shared (or rather, unshared) experience with the movie 'The Bucket List' to the portrayal of creepy characters on screen.

    The conversation then takes delightful detours through evolving celebrity crushes, the impact of military films, and the fascinating world of Disney's copyright legacy. The hosts bravely tackle the complexities of toxic relationships with surprising humor, share their ever-changing bucket list aspirations (including a certain trip to Chernobyl!), and even ponder the allure of Italian property.

  • The 4th Turning (A Lost Episode from 2023)
    Apr 30 2025

    The Fool Scoop takes a look back at a compelling discussion from 2023, diving deep into the concepts presented in the national bestseller, "The Fourth Turning" by William Strauss and Neil Howe. The hosts revisit the book's fascinating theory of historical cycles, exploring the four distinct "turnings" – High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis – and how these generational eras shape society. They examine the characteristics of each turning and consider the roles played by different generations, including Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials, within this cyclical framework. Join Alan, Winston, and Johnny as they unpack the book's insights into past upheavals and its thought-provoking predictions about navigating future periods of crisis and societal transformation.

  • DJ for My Wake
    Apr 23 2025

    On this episode of The Fool Scoop, Alan, Jessy, and Winston Smith tackle the surprisingly deep topic of funeral music. From the emotional weight of choosing the perfect song to the sheer absurdity of some selections (like using "Free Bird" as a final prank), the crew explores how different death scenarios influence playlists and the power music has to evoke everything from grief and reflection to transcendence. They share personal picks, discuss artists like David Bowie and the timeless nature of impactful songs, and even touch on the quirky humor that can be found in planning a truly epic farewell. Ultimately, they prove that even in discussing something as somber as death, music can be a powerful tool for processing emotions, connecting with others, and creating a memorable last hurrah.
