Welcome back to another chaotic episode of the Don't Be Sour podcast! We kick things off with the burning question: why do only 3,600 of you thumbs up our videos when 44,000 are watching? Come on, people! From there, we spiral into the important debates of our time—like why tank tops are called what they're called (thanks, 1900s mugshots), whether clickbait titles are the boy who cried wolf, and a very passionate argument about crawfish being seafood. Spoiler: Shawley was wrong. The guys dive deep

We're celebrating 150 episodes with this one! Things kick off with us clearing the air about some rodeo facts we got hilariously wrong last episode—turns out PETA reached out and the internet had opinions. We dive deep into cow terminology (heifer drama included), debate whether crawfish are actually roaches, and somehow end up discussing everything from baby showers to whether Maxx should commit to wearing cowboy hats full-time. The middle of the episode gets chaotic in the best way. We're talking

They're also debating participation trophies, planning livestreams, and figuring out if 30% attendance from 2,000 RSVPs is optimistic or pessimistic. Spoiler: there's

The boys are back with another chaotic episode that kicks off with golf trash talk (Maxx and David destroyed Joe's team, naturally) before spiraling into the eternal question: can you hit a million YouTube subscribers by just... vlogging?

They dissect the brutal reality of content creation in 2025—where 50% of your own subscribers don't even watch your videos, vlogs are dying

Welcome to another chaotic episode of Don't Be Sour, where we somehow go from debating massage etiquette to dissecting international politics to arguing about whether snowboarding is cooler than skiing (spoiler: it obviously is). This week, David sold his entire house—furniture, gym equipment, and all—in like 48 hours to some cash-wielding strangers who apparently loved his interior design choices. Meanwhile, Shawley got catfished by a squat rack that looks like it was assembled by someone who'd
