Triz shares a Tennessee trip to visit nieces and nephews, and Ray describes a calmer night of bourbon and karaoke and their views against drinking and driving, then they talk comedy favorites like Norm Macdonald, including Triz’s livestream Q&A moment, and Dolly Parton’s persona and philanthropy. After sponsor mentions and an Hourly Flipper promo, they pivot to politics, criticizing Trump’s performance, tariffs (including Canada), insider enrichment, midterm outlooks, key races, and Democratic strategy debates between moderates like Andy Beshear and the left, before closing with jokes.

14 AUG 2026 · Extreme Common Sense: MLB No-Hitter Pitcher George Culver on His Career, Pete Rose, Tommy John, and Japan Baseball
Trizdon Reynolds hosts a Ray-free episode of Extreme Common Sense featuring former MLB pitcher and author George Culver, who discusses his path from a modest high school start to rapid minor-league advancement, breaking through with a slider, debuting with Cleveland, and becoming a starter after a trade to Cincinnati where he later threw a no-hitter. Culver recounts the late-night Philadelphia no-hitter with minimal warmup, early defensive errors leading to a run, growing nerves, and finishing it against Cookie Rojas, plus near-misses afterward. He describes arm problems, pitching through pain, surgery for bone chips, and a half-season in Japan, including contract disputes. Culver shares views on modern pitching injuries, praises Tommy John and argues for his Hall of Fame case, tells Pete Rose stories and opinions on Rose’s Hall eligibility, and promotes his book The Earl of Oildale with signed copies available via 661-706-3775.

7 AUG 2026 · The amazing episode opens featuring former Major League Baseball player, broadcaster, and screenwriter Billy Sample. Sample discusses being raised partly by grandparents in Salem, Virginia, early poverty, and minor-league pay, including carrying a manager’s golf clubs, and shares encounters with entertainers like Roy Clark, Charley Pride, Penny Marshall, Tim Daly, and broadcaster Dick Enberg. He promotes his strong R film Reunion 108 and his self-published book A Year in Pinstripes & Then Some, describing guerrilla-style filming and clubhouse humor. Sample outlines his baseball path from JMU and the Shenandoah Valley League to the Rangers, Yankees, and Braves, reflects on card-signing requests, teammates’ personalities, playing with Rickey Henderson, facing Nolan Ryan, and recalls his favorite MLB moment: a walk-off home run against the Angels.

14 MAY 2026 · Buckle Up MotherF****** Ray's doing a Funyuns label deep dive!
Extreme Common Sense: Funyuns Ingredients, Trump’s War Spin, Gas Prices, Gerrymandering, and a Berea Bank Tragedy
The script opens with an ad for We Do Epoxy, then Tristan and Ray begin their “Extreme Common Sense” episode by reading Funyuns ingredients and nutrition facts, briefly explaining riboflavin. They shift to politics, criticizing Donald Trump for unreliable statements about a war involving Iran, arguing it has driven gas prices up (they cite $5.15 in Richmond, KY) and hurt consumer spending, including Ray’s bowling/entertainment business being down about $70,000 year-to-date. They discuss Netanyahu’s influence, the Strait of Hormuz, and say the administration hasn’t justified the war’s urgency. They cover mid-census redistricting and gerrymandering’s effects on primaries and representation. After sponsor ads, they discuss the Berea bank robbery/murder by an 18-year-old, a hantavirus cruise-ship outbreak, RFK Jr., Trump family profits, Democrats’ messaging, a Bill Greason story, and end with a joke and Reds/Mets talk.

They discuss the NCAA tournament, including a Sweet 16 pool at their bar where Ray won $1,000 with Michigan and also won an additional bet, plus talk of the Reds’ strong start and attending games via broadcast-booth tickets. Ray recounts a Keeneland trip and losing a winning bet due to not checking the ticket. They touch on Afrika Bambaataa’s death and allegations against him, then debate polarized politics, gas prices, Fox News narratives, and the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz implications, including a story about Nancy’s boyfriend who managed Iranian-owned Amco franchises. They also mention sponsors, flipping and pawn ads, jokes, UFO/alien claims by a Tennessee congressman, Artemis splashdown parallels to Apollo, and brief baseball/Pete Rose anecdotes.
