  • Episode 82 - Throwback Cartoons, Snow Stories, and Postseason Pressure
    Jan 24 2026

    This episode jumps from real-life weather drama to pure GenX nostalgia and straight into championship football. We kick things off with the winter storm sweeping across America, how it’s impacting people, what it reminds us of, and the last time we can remember a storm that felt this widespread and intense. From there, we rewind to the golden era of 80s cartoons, including He-Man, and talk through the past and upcoming live-action adaptations on the way, what we hope they get right, and why these shows still hit decades later.

    Then it’s all football: we break down the latest NFL playoff games, the biggest moments, what surprised us, and which teams will play in the Superbowl. We wrap with the College Football Championship and Indiana getting their first ever national title.

  • Episode 81 - No Cap, No Chance: MLB’s Payroll Wars + NFL’s Coaching Carousel
    Jan 17 2026

    This week we’re calling out MLB’s “no salary cap” reality and how super-spenders like the Dodgers are stretching the sport into a payroll arms race that small-market teams can’t realistically match. Then we hit the NFL coaching carousel—who’s actually got the best opening (and why), plus what each vacancy really offers. We wrap with a playoff temperature check: Divisional Round matchups, who’s built to survive this weekend, and which teams have the cleanest path to Super Bowl LX

  • Episode 80 - Big Games, Bigger Takes, and Holiday Hits on Repeat
    Dec 21 2025

    This week’s episode is a full-on football check-in, starting with reactions to the latest NFL games—what stood out, who looked legit, and which teams left more questions than answers. We also dig into the college football playoff matchups and what the games told us about momentum, coaching decisions, and who feels built for a championship run.

    Then we shift into holiday mode with a fun debate about Christmas music: the songs we actually like, the ones we tolerate, and why it feels like every December is the same playlist loop. We kick around the bigger question—when was the last time a truly “new” Christmas song became a real classic?—and why modern holiday tracks rarely stick the way the old ones have for the past few decades.

  • Episode 79 - Holiday Decorating, Philip Rivers Buzz, and Gaming’s Biggest Night
    Dec 13 2025

    This week we kick things off with Christmas decorations—whether we’re going bigger, scaling it back, or just trying to find the right energy for the season (and the right amount of effort). We get into what’s changed over the years, what still feels “must-do,” and what’s starting to feel optional.

    Then we jump into the NFL and the buzz around 44-year-old Philip Rivers potentially coming out of retirement—plus the industry and fan reaction to the idea. Is it desperation, a smart veteran move, or just headline fuel? We break down what it would mean and why people are reacting the way they are.

    We close with the latest Gaming Awards talk—big moments, winners, surprises—and wrap on Disney changes that have people talking, from strategy shifts to what it could mean for fans going forward.

  • Episode 78 - World Cups, Warner Brothers & Championship Chaos
    Dec 6 2025

    This week we start with the bombshell news of Netflix buying Warner Brothers and what that could mean for the future of movies. We dig into how this kind of consolidation might shrink traditional theatrical releases, shift more big-budget films straight to streaming, and change the way stories get made. From childhood memories of sticky floors and packed Friday-night premieres to today’s luxury recliners and half-empty showtimes, we talk about the value movie theaters brought—socially and culturally—and whether they can still survive in a streaming-dominated world.

    From there, we turn to the current college football playoff race and conference title showdowns, breaking down who’s in the driver’s seat, who needs chaos, and which matchups will decide it all. We close with a look at the recent World Cup draw, reacting to the most interesting groups, early favorites, and the potential “Group of Death,” while imagining how the global tournament might feel in a media landscape where streaming keeps rewriting the rules.

  • Episode 76 - From Fake Fitness Fixes to 80s Christmas & Today’s Inflation Panic
    Nov 22 2025

    This week we break down the modern fitness hustle — from influencers selling miracle workout plans to the endless noise around “perfect” routines and quick fixes. We talk about what actually works, what’s overhyped, and why everyone online suddenly thinks they’re a certified trainer.

    We then jump into how Christmas has changed over the past 40 years, comparing the simple, tradition-driven holidays of the ’80s with today’s tech-heavy, commercialized season. Finally, we revisit the inflation debate: is it truly worse today, or does it just feel that way? We compare prices, wages, and everyday costs across decades to find what’s real and what’s exaggerated.
