Move the Mic Stand - Prepare to be Baja Blasted with Pie

November 7, 2025·1 hr 29 min·2 clips

The Baja Blast frozen pie: worth the hype and the $20 price tag?

Cash Money Carl opens with a sponsor read for MinigolfReviews.com, a site that posts a new mini golf hole every day and is building the National Archive of Minigolf. The show then rolls into the theme and the usual Dean-and-Cash welcome. From there, the conversation jumps straight into a topic that starts absurd and stays that way: a brain worm, blue 40, and red 5 become the base for a long soda-and-ingredient panic. They talk about the colors supposedly going away, toss around deadlines, and joke about wiping them out before the end of 2026. One speaker wants a detailed read on Stewart's grape, which turns into a mock professional soda review and a running bit about reformulating ingredients. Coca-Cola comes up, along with high-fructose corn syrup and the way big companies push changes around. Pepsi gets pulled into the same conversation, with cane-sugar versions treated like the preferred move and a cane-sugar wild cherry Pepsi singled out as something that probably would have been phenomenal. The back half shifts from soda anxiety into roast-memory mode. They bring up Jay Lemke, who was recently on as a guest, and point to his Krampus work from last year's roast of Santa Claus as the part that stole the show. Dean's commitment to staying in character gets remembered right alongside it. The episode closes by circling back to the Krampus voices and the idea of doing them again, then lands on a taped thank-you and a signoff that feels like the end of a messy, happy hang.

As heard by us

Soda panic and roast memories keep the duo moving, even when the talk skids sideways.

Move the Mic Stand works best when Dean and Cash let a small worry spiral into a full detour, and this one does that with soda ingredients, color additives, and the nagging sense that familiar drinks have shifted underfoot.

Why you'd press play

For when a soda label and a bit about ingredients should not be this weirdly funny at all.
