Failure At Its Finest Hour
Four friends that met in high school take on the world from every angle. A personality podcast from Michigan's upper hand. Comedic tales, hot takes, uneducated guesses and plain old tomfoolery.
We hope those ears are hungry....Failure At It's Finest Hour coming to a county fair near you...

The boys talk gardening, yappin' with their wives, rights of passage, fishing, and more. Welcome back, Failures, the whole gang returns soon!
Today the gang looks at what they want to accomplish this summer, an important restaurant review from Tony, and an upper peninsula sleeper-brewery takes gold!

Things get weird and mildly insulting this week, see where your hometown landed on our list!
This week all 4 failures are back to chat about the worst and best of the western towns in the Upper Peninsula. Trenary gets a shoutout, and what the hell is going on in Dick, Michigan?

Aaron and Dylan relax this Wednesday morning with a light and late superb owl recap, what makes a half time show, radio advice, a long shot at the stock market, and sellin' souls for overtime hours and bullsh*t pay.
Groundhog day has come and gone, and a fully loaded cast returns this week with much to discuss. Who's LinkedIn looks as good as Chris's? Trenary Toast and Outhouse Races? Has Arby's fallen from their former glory? Is there a time it's acceptable to NOT pay it forward? Should northern Wisconsin, the entire Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the upper third of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan combine forces as the 51st state?
