Charcuterie

This week we are serving a "charcuterie" of topics that ranges from Kim Kardashian’s head-scratching new products to the existential dread of being told you have the mind of a 44-year-old when you're only fifteen. Between dissecting the uncanny valley of modern plastic surgery and trying to remember why we wrote down jokes about "St. Bernard’s," we’re exploring the fine line between becoming better people and just becoming more entertaining.   Come join us for the discussion as we see if these "Give-olutions" lead to a brand-new outlook or if we’re just in for a wild ride of unexpected challenges! ---- Have any topics you want to hear on the show? Message us and we'll go down the rabbit hole.

Givolutions Part 2: No Host Left Behind!

We’re kicking off 2026 (again)! Winston’s back from the Bahamas and straight into the hot seat. Join us as we hit rewind to catch him up on the chaos he missed while he was away at sea. It’s the New Year’s do-over we all needed, mostly because he wasn’t here to defend himself the first time. Beyond the travel recap, we dive into the strange history of a holiday film classic and the mystery behind "elite rejuvenation" in Hollywood. Most importantly, we officially launch the 2026 Give-o-lutions, where we assign each other a year’s worth of "homework" involving everything from indie filmmaking and physical feats to historical reading and culinary dares. The stage is set for a year of accountability, obscure media quests, and a few hilariously "bequeathed" curses.   The Given-lutions:  Alan * 1 compliment every day. * Put in 6 hours of video games. * Watch at least 1 anime that you have not heard of Winston * Bench press Mrs. Smith by the end of the year. * He has to read two romance books. * Produce an indie movie Jess * Send a personal handwritten postcard or letter * Share one of the Asian thing that you love that Alan has no experience with. * You Must Watch One Top-10 Favorite of Kelso’s List * 1 New Restaurant and try 1 New Dish. Kelso * Do something that is slightly inconvenient for you * 3 tattoos on other people * Find a new piece of content that makes you cry. * Read any book that is over 100 years old ****Kelso's Top-10:  * 4 Lions * The Brink  * Almost Heroes * Firefly * The Great * What we do in the Shadows * Monster Squad * Teen Wolf * Back to the future * Bud Abbott and Lou Costello meet Frankenstein

2026 New Year's Givolutions!

Forget the resolutions you’ve already broken—it’s time for the Give-olutions! In this episode of The Full Scoop, Alan, Jessi, and Jhonny kick off 2026 by turning the traditional New Year’s resolution on its head. Instead of picking their own goals, the crew is picking them for each other. From high-stakes wheel spins to "classy" new habits and "manly" emotional growth, the team explores whether we’re better at committing to others than we are to ourselves. Will Alan stay disciplined enough to log his gaming hours? Can Jhonny truly transform into a wine connoisseur with his pinky in the air? Will Jessi survive the 'Give-olutions' she created, and can Winston catch up on his new goals once he returns from his 'assignment' in the Bahamas? Come join us for the discussion as we dive into these "Give-olutions" and see what happens when accountability meets a little bit of chaos! --- Want to follow along with what we talked about?
