In this episode, Kael is on his own again and talks about the recent headlines such as Alina Habba (the BJ queen) resigning, the tariffs not working (as usual), and the proposed purchase of Warner Bros. by Netflix and/or Paramount, as well as others. I go off on people who like Five Nights at Freddy's since the sequel to the first movie is doing gangbusters at the box office. We also discuss the answers to the Stupid Question. Immediately after the ad break, we talk a little more before I bring up the 5th and final season of Stranger Things and talk about how terrible the hair is. It's so bad. Dustin's is good, though.

December 9th, 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, The Stupid Question

In this episode, my mom offered to pay me a lot of money to come on as a guest. Was it worth it? Hell no. We start off mostly okay until I start going through my "liquid assets" (merch coming soon) and then it just starts going off the rails. I make a fatal mistake when I come back from the ad break and open another beverage and then she really starts saying some very embarrassing stuff. Big Red Button: You'll never be thirsty BUT you're always hungry.

Episode 177: Truly Out of Ideas (Featuring Kael's MOM)

Instead of a normal episode, I decided I'd give you guys a free commentary that would normally have been a Patreon exclusive (you still get early access, Patrons)! Big Beak and I have reconnected after a year and since he is the undisputed king of Peanuts YouTubers, I asked him to join me in watching a stone cold classic, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

IIHS Watch Party: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (Featuring Big Beak Entertainment)

In this solo session, we talk about the leaked Epstein emails (including Donald Trump's escapades with "Bubba") as well as ethnic Balkanisation. After that, we find more things to get mad about, such as the "meat with bones in it" industry, people riding electric scooters on the sidewalk, and Bart Baker.

November 18th 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, Epstein Emails Edition

Kael is solo again since neither candidate could watch the new film Predator: Badlands and he really wanted to review it. He spends the first part reviewing that, then he gives a thank you to the veterans for Veterans' Day. After that, things slowly deteriorate into the classic Kael stream of consciousness that happens when no one keeps him on topic, but at least you get your one designated joke for this week.

November 11th 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session, Veterans' Day Edition

Sadly I have to give an update that Danny is no longer going to be recording the show with us and that we are scaling back each episode until I can find a new permanent cohost. I try and sort out everything as best I can in the episode, but I'll be uploading more low key solo sessions every week just going over what's going on in my life and trying (and failing) to be funny. There will still be ads but the episodes will not be as long since I doubt you guys wanna hear me talk all by myself for an hour every week. Thanks for understanding and for sticking with me as we look at a new era of IIHS.

November 4th 2025- Incredibly Influential Solo Session

Kael is very angry and blows out his mic with his passion. PB is there. Musicals are terrible. After the ad break, Kael is still very angry. We do the Paramore bit from last week again, but Kael joins in. Apparently PB didn't know about John Lennon. Big Red Button: You have X-Ray vision and can see through all clothing BUT you cannot turn it off.

Episode 176: Kael Blows Out His Mic

In this episode, Kael FINALLY gets P*nis Breath (or PB for short) on the show and we have some fun until PB decides to do the worst bit ever and I'm still so mad just writing about it. We also talk some basketball which is kinda weird. The last half is just 25ish minutes of Kael by himself, so if you like that, this is your lucky day. He talks about his fitness journey, his visit from his mom, his grad school applications, and more!

Episode 175: The Autist Formerly Known as P*nis Breath

In this episode, you get your one allotted joke for the week nice and early, and then we talk about the government shutdown for a while, and then we start flaming the everloving crap out of Jared Leto because, for real, why does he still have a career? After that, we discuss the crashout over at Xbox due to them raising the Game Pass prices, and then we have a discussion about what activities are appropriate for a first date, and then we talk about a controversial new dating strategy that has everyone talking.

Episode 174: Jared LeTOE Implies The Existence of Jared LeFOOT

In this episode, Kael reveals his shady business practices and we decide we are gonna watch a movie but Danny wants to watch stupid movies so Kael uses his favorite word, VETO. He vetoes a lot in this episode. When we come back, Danny tries to get some help with his homework and then that gets vetoed too. In Kael's defense, nobody actually gave him this power and he just says it, so it's not like it's got any actual power other than what Danny gives it. We also talk about the new merch line and provide a discount code, so go check that out. Big Red Button: You get one million beers BUT you have to drink one million beers.
