Babe, the lads are mad again

Mad lads who dance to the beat of their own drum

Ever wish you were a little more spontaneous? A little more irreverent, or cheeky? Hey, me too. That's why I look up to mad lads . They're audacious individuals, rebels without a cause who defy norms and expectations with a cheeky grin.

While there are some appreciative shout outs (the comments on Jimmy Buffet videos are so positive), there's often at least one comment from somebody with nothing to lose. Sometimes, it's a comment that is impressively cutting. Sometimes, a completely biz…

They can't be contained

You've got to appreciate the gaul of these absolute mad lads.

If you were a fan of All Gas No Brakes and haven't watched Andrew Callaghan's new series Channel 5 yet, you really need to start with this recent special on the Utah Rap Festival. In this 15-minute highlight from Channel 5's full episode on Patreon, the youth of Salt Lake City impart us with invaluable wisdom, such as 'f-ck the mormons b-tch!' The chaotic energy in this video is agitating and addictive at the same time—at times it hurts to watch and yet you can't look away. Channel 5 is a gratif
