Gunnar and Wade discuss the reveals at the Microsoft/Bethesda game expo, and ponder...why is Bethesda makig Starfield when Obsidian is, in essence, making a better Starfield in Outer Worlds 2?!

The Rising Costs of Promises Kept

The Rising Costs of Promises Kept

Hello Internet!


This week's episode started optimistically, with talks of old school wrestling, and it's possibly future.  Then we started talking about gas prices, and then inflation; and before you know it Gunnar and Wade are discussing society's destined fall into madness.  

Will Gunnar keep his pact to remain non-nuclear, or will Wade's emo advice be enough to create a fision like chain reaction in Gunnar's Crack Santa Mind?! 

Speaking of Crack Santa; has Gunnar's depiction of his dark future started Wade on the lunatic fringe that is Crack Stantadom?  Is that even a fucking word?  That, some technical difficulties due to Craig Bot being on his FuccBoi shit, and a little bit more in this episode of The Friendship Snake Podcast

Dr. Crack Santa and the Multiverse of Gyrocopters

Hello Internet!


On this week's episode of TFSP Gunnar and Wade discuss Gunnar's further decent, or ascent depending on how on might view it, to his fated evolution into a Crack Santa. 

What was the fan's gripe with the latest Dr. Strange film?  Will Marvel fans become the ruin of the MCU and it's franchises?  Either way, it the reviews are mixed and it didn't seem to blow anyone away.

Now that Austin, TX is no longer the hipster epicenter of the US, which American city is a potential next location for the spirit of the 90s to remain alive...If  ya know, ya know; but our bet is on the home of the Garbage Plate.

Episode 175: Morbius...Dead On Arrival?!

Episode 175: Morbius...Dead On Arrival?!

Hello Internet!


This episode we discuss the recently released and horribly panned film Morbius.  We pose the questions:  Is Jared Leto the kiss of death for a comic film?  Who is to more to blame for this flop of a film, Leto or Sony?  Is this an indictment on Leto's ability as an actor?

Method acting has been around for a long time, but how far should should the entire production bend to the method actor's behaviors?

Should Sony have made the Morbius film an episodic streaming show?  Would it have been easier to introduce the Night Stalkers this way?  Should the Marvel CMU give our pitch a shot and make WandaSykesVison?!


Does anyone remember DarkMan?  Why did it succeed when it was effectively a Dude Bro Phantom Of The Opera

In this weeks episode we discuss late 80s tank films...that it, just tank films, good old fashion movies revolving around a tank and it's crew.  Just kidding!  Tough we did discuss a couple of movies concerning tanks, we also discussed some of the following:

G4/X-Play is back, but why?  Did they think the nostalgia bump would bring back it's original fans?  How long can they last after their latest missteps?  Should Gunnar and Wade just be here "to look good for you", sweet Jesus, we hope not.

On a more serious note, a nurse is currently being brought up on criminal charges for administering the wrong medication to a patient.  We ask, considering the massive strain on the country's health care system, are criminal charges justified for this mistake?

Do the Cutco Knives and The Kirby Vacuum companies contain less jiggery fuckery than Crypto Currency?

What is your style of augmenting?  Does it matter who the argument is with?  Is winning the argument the your main objective?  Has the way you argue evolved as you have aged?  Either way, Gunnar will get Wade into a Titan frame.

Apologies in advance for this week's episode, this was Wade's first time recording on the road, and of course, the mic went dead.  We took a little extra time to fix the audio, and it's still a little jank, but rest assured, the audio on Wade's end will be better on the next go around; on the road again...yipee!

Regardless, the show goes on!  Gunnar punches Wade in the gut by revealing the sad fate of Hobo Shoestring, the quasi famous hobo youtuber...spoiler alert, he's jumped that last rail cart and rode it into the sky.

Ukraine/Russian war, we discuss the roots of their relationship, Putin's desperation, the true stance of the Russian people, and the parallels between Putin an Hitler relative to the reasons for invading Ukraine.

The Earn It Act appears to look like a just cause to protect vulnerable individuals on the internet, however, what freedoms and rights to privacy could be taken away in the name of safety.

In a thought experiment pushed to extremes, Wade ponders if it's time to summon an old Kaiju to play god and fix the planet.  Maybe an Old testament style deity raining fire and brimstone might be your fancy.  Bonus info:  Gunnar schools us on The Dead Sea Scrolls.

On this week's episode we discuss the potential Microsoft acquisition of Activision/Blizzard, it's current impact on Sony, the legal ramifications, and what the video game landscape would look like if if did indeed go through.

After a week or so after being found guilty, it seems as if Ghislaine Maxwell is ready to name some names.  We decide on an over/under on days before she dies in prison under questionable circumstances.

Out of nowhere, PeaceMaker has exploded onto the scene and is one of the best new series out on a streaming/premium service.  Has James Gunn helped to find DCs stride in not taking its self too seriously?

As promised, Wade rolled into the new year Positive, unfortunately, it's not in the way that he had hoped; thankfully he is fully vaccinated and only had the symptoms of your average cold.  

What were some of things you probably should have learned earlier in life that might make you uncomfortable admitting to when you truly fount out?  Gunnar and Wade reluctantly reveal some of the things they probably should have learned a little earlier in life.

With NFT blowing up, and the Crypto market becoming somewhat volatile, can anyone truly explain how this is not just another Ponzi scheme?  Should you start dumping your money into these new and still emerging markets?

Treasure Beyond Measure ™

Happy New Year Everybody!


A few days before the turn of another year, Gunnar and Wade vow to abandon hope and will 2022 to be a better year for not only themselves, but the world!

We talk the latest star studded Netflix film, Don't Look Up; and what it says about the state of the US, and the world.

Has Germany's strong commitment to green energy early in the game put them in a potentially compromised relationship with Russia down the road?  Is the technology truly there yet to complete transition to green?

Why is Hope typically viewed through such rose colored glasses?  Could it be that Hope is some sort of drug used to subdue/pacify the masses of the have nots and less fortunate ones being crushed and controlled by the people that are truly pulling the strings.

Well, Christmas is a few nights away and although Gunnar tried his best to keep Wade on the Christmas path, but as always, it's the holidays and Wade is teetering on the rails!  Regardless, in this weeks episode we talk about The Half Assed Human, and discuss whether or not society/humanity is giving us subconscious answers; and if it is, how does it affect our psyche?


With the new Matrix film coming out very soon, how have the previously held up throughout the annals of time?  Is the original Matrix still fire, or has the passing time Red Pilled everyone to view it as stale?


The CCP is once again in the headlines and not in a good way.  After disappearing from any public setting, Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai has retracted her statements about being sexually assaulted by a high ranking member in the Chinese government.  We call BS as most free thinking humans do, but does this shed light on the potential coming civil war in China?

In this weeks episode:  


Wade settles the argument once and for all; Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas is not only a Christmas film, but the greatest Christmas film of all time, regardless of what Gunnar says or believes. 

Are the holidays a happy time for you, or a stressful, nightmare inducing fiasco?  Does Christmas music cause anxiety?

Was everyone that wrote Ghostbusters on cocaine at the time?  Contrary to popular believe; does Ghostbusters show how prudish we may have become over the years?  Can Ghostbusters be considered a Christmas movie?

On a more somber note, we discuss the shootings that took place at Oxford High School, and ask the question, what are some of the root causes of these problems?  

All this and so much more on this week's episode of The Friendship Snake Podcast

Episode 161 - Elon Bebop

Episode 161 - Elon Bebop

Hello Internet!

This week Gunnar and Wade weigh in on all things pop culture.  Why was the Cowboy Bebop live adaptation was destined to fail?  Would any company have the "Guts" (pun totally intended) to take on a live action Berserk!  

Elon Musk offed to sell off $6 billion of his Tesla stock to end world hunger, all that he asked was for the UN to come up with a written plan to account for the money.  Does this demonstrate governmental inefficiencies, or is Elon just being a troll?

Also, why can't Providence, RI get it's shit together and get it's self a good BBQ joint?!

All that and much much more on this week's episode of The Friendship Snake Podcast!

Episode 160 - A Very Friendly Thanksgiving Episode

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!


In this episode we talk all things Thanksgiving:

Apparently All of CNY has been making some variation of Watergate Salad, why did it take Gunnar and Wade roughly 40 years to learn this?!  What are some subjects that might be a bad idea to discuss at the dinner table?  Feel like the TurDuckEn needs to evolve?  Wade and Gunnar have you covered.  Also, is Thanksgiving kind of a slap in the face to the Indigenous people of North America?  Could Thanksgiving ever be culturally cancelled?

Episode 159 - The Curious Case of The Metaverse Maneuver

Myspace memories, Facebook metaverse, we take bets on how long lets go brandon will last, Fanta Black?

On today's episode, we reminisce about the simpler times of MySpace, examine why it couldn’t withstand the emergence of Facebook, and if it could ever mount a come back.

Facebook made a bold statement and is not only doubling down on VR, but is also making a chance to it’s parent company’s name. Why the restoked focus on VR interaction? How will this impact the share holders? And what the fuck is the Metaverse?!

Lets go Brandon is the latest anti Biden meme; we take bets on how long it will remain relevant on the internet.

Episode 158 - Space Crack Inflation

Episode 158 - Space Crack Inflation

After a small hiatus to allow Wade to get married/be fitted by Gunnar for his inevitable mech chassis we are back in the saddle once again.  


We talk about the latest version of Dune, how it holds up against the 80s cult classic, and does its initial success tip the current audience's hat to SciFi coming more into focus in mainstream media?  Also, is spice just space crack?

It would seem that primary and secondary education is falling further and further behind in preparing the youth to actually function independently here in the US.  Why are we less and less prepared for "the real world"?

Gunnar schools Wade on Japan's lost decades.  Could the US be headed into a similar situation?  Also, inflation...fuck!

Episode 156 - Omar Is Comin'...And So Is Uncle Sam.

In this episode of the podcast it appears that Big Brother may have been listening to us recording, as Wade's entire neighborhood decided to go dark with a large power outage soon after we stared talking about a potential vaccination mandate for America's food supply chain front line workers...that being said, apologies for the last minute or so; Wade had to hop back on with his cell phone, and it sounds rough!


We also pay tribute to Michael K Williams, discuss the impact of The Wire, and talk some all around actors/entertainment.

Episode 155 - McAutolds's and the REAL Farming Simulator

Episode 155 - McAutolds's and the REAL Farming Simulator

As we begin to see the early stages of automation become a regularity in the retail and food service world, we ask the question:  Is full automation of these businesses right around the corner, or just a mirage beyond these industrial horizons?

There are an increasing number of gamers and twitch viewers that are playing/streaming Farming Simulator/similar games.  Gunnar and Wade dive into this phenomenon and offer a potential entrepreneurial endeavor that shows the dark side of the farming life, in game form.  

All this a more on this weeks episode!

Can We Find Our Way Back To Work? The New Chinese 996

Can We Find Our Way Back To Work? The New Chinese 996

China has decided to institute a new rule to limit it's children gaming time.  Interestingly enough, they have given no options as what to do with their free time.  On top of that, the Chinese government has cracked down on the 996 employee culture.  Did they do a solid for the Chinese worker, or just create a more abusive work culture?

So the end of extended unemployment in most of the US have ended.  Will the American work force be able to go back to the way it was?  Or is it going to take a rise in wages to get our country back to work?  In either event, it would appear that US companies, and the consumers, are in for a rough ride.

Episode 153 - The Magical Chinese Business Conch and The Texas 666

Crack Santa returns!


Can American and the rest of the West kick it's addiction to cheap electronics?  For that matter, can China kick its addiction to exploiting it's citizen's for a source of cheap labor.  Will Chinese companies continue to operate under the terms of a knockoff hybrid between The Lord of the Rings and Lord of The Flies; or will they continue to believe that there can only be "One Stamp To Rule It All"?


Although the evacuation of Afghanistan is "complete", the political arguments on social media begin to heat up.  More and more misinformation begins to spread.  As lines are drawn, and sides are taken, some harsh realities being to set in.  


Texas...WTF.

Episode 152 - The Cream Rises To The Top

We didn't (at least Wade didn't) believe it was possible.  Talking about professional wrestling for almost an hour.  We of course added some porn news to ensure there was a bit of extra spice.


There being said, there was a bit of an issue with Wade's mic during the recording, apologies in advance, no filter/compressing could fix it.

151 - One Fifty Fun

Are American astronauts guilty of sabotaging a Russian space station?  Or is Russia just continuing it's shady  fuccboi behavior?  

As the reported cases of COVID-19 start to spike in parts of the U.S. and the Delta variant spreads more and more, what can America do to stave off/avoid another shut that would further damage an already reeling economy while ensuring the safety of it's citizens?

Although America did not ask for a sequel to the Vietnam work, it looks as if that is what is currently playing out on our televisions and social media screens.  Could this have been avoided?  Did Biden just Thanos our alliance with Afghanistan?  Will the sequel be so bad that it goes straight to DVD?!

Episode 150 - Pre Orwellian Precogs and The Long Goodbye

On a special episode we bid a bittersweet farewell to to one of the Friendship Snake tripods, Tres.  

Is Apples new new CSAM "fingerprint" recognition software a major break in helping to identify people that prey on children; or an unintended precursor to the dystopian future from The Minority Report?  

Are countries just measuring dicks at the Olympics, or are medal counts correlated with global positioning?

Belarus went the way of the Honey Badger and offed a political activist..."allegedly", then tell tells its self to hold it's beer by attempting to "disappear" one of it's Olympic sprinter's after criticizing her coaches.
