    There was a storm surge while JD, Erich and "Jamie" were at the dive bar. They rode it out talking about the most expensive song they found on the bar's touch tunes.

    Then, this is not what Erich had envisioned for PKFC!

    There was some roughhousing on the patio this past week that made the town news… Erich, as the commissioner of the Porch Karate Fighting Championship (PKFC) addresses the rumors and explains why it's important to make sure your Karate Porch Fight is PKFC sanctioned… He also explains the do's and don't of being a PKFC referee.

    Porch Karate Sanctioning:
    3 tiers of Porch Karate...

    • Patio Karate - For the youngsters… If they're at the bar with a fake ID or you're 65 and been drinking for 42 years.. you get the patio.
    • Porch Karate - Mid 20s and brink of weighing 200 lbs, you're porch karate material!
    • Roof Karate - If you have really good heritage and genetics, you might get roof karate…

    When someone tells you to calm down, does it work?

    The show wraps up with a debate regarding the fights Erich, JD, and Jamie would like to see on the White House lawn and how de-escalation techniques between opposite sexes differ. It's the podcast episode America has been begging for, it's Tales From A Dive Bar.

    What is real? What can we trust?

    Are horror movies being made for shock value while sacrificing plot lines? The boys dive into A.I's involvement in movies and Erich gives us his Stanley Cup hockey projections. The boys take bets on what genre will be responsible for the next big Summer banger.....

    Everybody is in somebody's pocket and nobody is really doing anything for us!

    How do you pursue happiness? We dive deep and discuss conspiracy theories, and how difficult it is to take anything as truth from media outlets the sensationalize indifference and fear.

  • Raven and JD talk about toxic relationships.....
    May 22 2026

    We’re going through growing pains… At least that’s what it feels like as of late….


    The Raven’s new 515 Podcast provides a safe space while promoting education and awareness surrounding abusive and toxic relationships…. Raven dives deeper into the qualities and traits she’s noticed, and at times ignored, in her own experiences. She also explains how patriarchy affects men just as much as women by keeping them trapped.

    Do narcissists have friends or are they all using each other?
    This episode goes deeper into narcissism and recovery by reclaiming and alchemizing your pain while discussing red flags such as “love bombing”, “future faking”, gaslighting, coercive control and isolation.

    What makes a man weak? Is there a blue ribbon for the bare minimum? Do you post pictures of your significant other on social media? Should you get rid of social media all together? We step away from the bar stools to take on some very serious emotionally fueled subjects….

    We’re also sponsoring the Steger American Legion Auxiliary Unit 521 for their annual golf outing at Deer Creek Golf Club located at 25055 S. Western Ave., University Park, Illinois (map) on Saturday June 13, 2026
