Episode 234: Rumblin' Bumblin' Stumblin'! 2026 Royal Rumble Review

Friday Feb 06, 2026

With the Royal Rumble complete, we are now officially on the road to WrestleMania! Now, did the car smoothly merge onto the wrestling superhighway or did it skid onto a dirt road at full speed with a drunk at the wheel, a barrel full of meth in the trunk, and a pair of hookers in the backseat shooting full automatic weapons out the windows. And let’s not talk about the iguana dangling from the rearview mirror… the ASPCA has been notified. Where was I? … Oh yeah, the Royal Rumble. Who won? Who lost? Did anyone use a bone saw when nobody was looking? We run it all down in this, episode 234, our Royal Rumble Review!

We’re in a new year which can only mean two things… First, the gym is gonna be pretty crowded until the middle of February. Second, it’s time to get rolling on the road to WrestleMania!

Episode 232: Unpopular Opinion - Rock Isn't Dead, You're Just Old & Lazy!

Friday Jan 23, 2026

Without putting too fine of a point on things… getting old sucks. Along with mysterious sleep injuries, aches that seem to predict the weather, losing hair in desirable places only for it to pop up in less desirable places like kudzu on steroids, and seeing that first AARP letter show up in the mailbox with your name on it – there’s also the unconscious urge to begin every other sentence with “back in my day”. Thus have we arrived at the topic of today’s show, the announcement of rock music uttered by every damn near every Dad with a pair of white New Balance sneakers to their name. But nay, we say! In this, episode 232, we throw out an unpopular opinion - that Rock Isn’t Dead, You’re Just Old And Lazy!

Episode 231: Sons Of Tron!

Friday Jan 16, 2026

Previously on Free Range Idiocy, we dropped into 1980’s nostalgia and talked about the original Tron. This week, we power up our lasers and upload ourselves to the grid one more time as we talk through both sequels, Legacy and Ares. How did we feel about the story, the quantum leaps forward in special effects technology, and having Garret Hedlund and Temu Joker as the heirs apparent to Kevin Flynn’s vision of computer nirvana? Well man, it’s just our opinion in this, episode 231, Sons Of Tron!

This week, we go after the OG movie wherein The Dude, Lacey Underall, Captain John Sheridan, and Chancellor Gorkon embark on a wild and zany adventure from real life into the world of 1982 computer games in an epic battle of users, programs, and a giant digital dreidl trying to take over the world and become SkyNet two years before SkyNet. How does this 44 year old movie hold up? How did we hold up watching it? We’ll find out in this, episode 230, The User Abides!
