Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The guys continue their dive into weed culture by bringing an actual expert on...and quickly realize they're out of their depth. So they bring back the video game talk to sound smart again! In this episode, the guys bring a very special guest onto the show to educate them on all things weed: Dasheeda Dawson of "The WeedHead"! Listen as Dasheeda shares all about how she started "The WeedHead," where her expertise in cannabis came from, and how weed is a magical substance handed down directly from the gods themselves. CraigMakk will celebrate that someone finally agrees with him about modern Eddie Murphy; Serious Jest delves deep into his (admittedly shallow) understanding of Crypto; and Dasheeda lets you know her innermost thoughts about Ryan Reynolds (SPOILER ALERT: they're NSFW). Throughout it all, you'll learn why some people think Robert Pattison is good at being rich & white; learn what exactly a "wunt" is; and listen to the guys nerd out about their favorite video games, books (yes, they read), and whether they want to ever leave the house again. So strap in, grab yourself a beer (or some quality weed), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Beer(s)/Weed of the Show: - Abnormal Beer Company's Sugar Spice Nice - 2018 Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout - 50% Bubba Kush (15% CBD) mixed with 25% Lemon Brulee & 25% Super-Double Diesel

And if you've been following along with the show so far, you probably already know how this is going to end up. That doesn't make it any easier for GameMaster Jim Sardonic, who has to try to keep these guys in check. But things will truly go off the rails once the new toxins come into play, that's for sure. ManCave Trivia Time: Do you know what the first ManCave-distributed beer will be called (if it ever happens)? Or how to calculate the diameter of a constantly shifting building? Or the ultimate weakness of Drax the Destroyer? Two of the three of those questions might be answered in this episode! So strap in, grab yourself a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Because no matter what else happens, these two CERTAINLY aren't the supervillains you're looking for, Obi-Wan.
