Is Wage War's New Album the WORST Ever?

This week on Casually Lit, the guys get fired up! Jason vents about the crushing disappointment of the new Wage War album, while also singing the praises of the fantastic new All That Remains single, "Let You Go." But it's not all music this week. Jason shares the joys of his son's birthday, Rohde deals with the frustration of a broken car door, and they all delve into some spoiler-free first impressions of House of the Dragon. Tune in for laughs, laments, and a little bit of fire and fury.

Ghosts, Floats, and Father's Day - Oh My!

This week on Casually Lit, Tony celebrates fiancé Coty's birthday with a pottery-making session straight out of Ghost!  Rohde chills out with a float down the Frio River, but was it smooth sailing?  The guys take aim at the new Star Wars show, The Acolyte, and share their not-so-glowing first impressions. Plus, Rohde and Jason dish on their Father's Day adventures.  Tune in for laughs, light pop culture takes, and some serious wheel-throwing envy!

Kayaking, Candy, and Keanu

This week on Casually Lit, things get a little wild! Rohde's traded mics for a kayak, leaving us high and dry (well, mostly dry) on the podcast. To make matters worse, Dirk just discovered the secret ingredient in his beloved Zemas...jolly ranchers! Thankfully, Tang's still here we think. We escape the drama with a trip to the big screen, discussing the 2020 Bill and Ted 3. But before we can totally bodacious out, we gotta scratch the, The Acolyte.  Will Dirk forgive the jolly rancher fiasco? Did Bill and Ted recapture the magic? And just how bad was The Acolyte? Grab a drink (minus the candy, Dirk) and tune in for another round of laughs, brews, and brutally honest takes.

Houdini, Hype & Hype Pops

 

It's getting a little dusty on this week's Casually Lit as the crew mourns the closing of Deep Ellum Brewing. But fear not, there's still plenty to unpack! We'll be dissecting Eminem's new track, "Houdini," to see if Slim Shady can still escape the competition. Then, we'll dive into the monster-catching craze with Gonster and drink it up. We'll also celebrate MrBeast's epic win as the most subscribed channel on YouTube. And to top it all off, the crew gets creative, brainstorming their dream Funko Pop figures. So grab your favorite beverage (because Deep Ellum's on hold) and get ready for some laughs, brews, and seriously lit discussions!

Big Screens, Big Eats, Big Fizz?

This week on Casually Lit, the fellas minus one Dirk, dive into the world of BIG: Samsung's monstrous new TVs, Tony's insanely powerful PC build (and the epic games he's playing on it), and Jason's love affair with his 36-inch Blackstone griddle. Plus, Rohde throws a curveball with his question about marinating chicken in... seltzer? Is it genius or a recipe for disaster? Oh and lets not forget the kick off, Jason drinks the Gonster. 

Join the crew for some laughs, tech talk, and a healthy dose of skepticism as they tackle these hot topics and more! Don't forget to leave a comment below and let us know your thoughts! #CasuallyLit #GiantTVs #GamingPC #BlackstoneLife #SeltzerChicken (we're not sure about that last one...)
