  • 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.

  • Nostra-Dammit!
    Apr 2 2025

    The Fool’s folly, voices three doth chide,

    With jests and laughter, the Seer they deride.

    His verses read, yet scorned as chance,

    A dance of words, mere happenstance.

    The stars align, yet fools make mirth,

    Prophet’s doom now weighed in mirth.

    The war of kings, the fire, the flood,

    Dismissed as ink, not written in blood.

    The hour wanes, the jesters tire,

    Their tongues still sharp, their wits still dire.

    Yet echoes linger, the past’s dark gaze,

    Mere mockery now, but fate still plays.
