Get out the beer steins and cornucopias, Fall is back. We're talking the best stuff that we get to do again SOLELY because the leaves are changing colors and the weather is getting cooler. Enjoy. 

What a treat, we are back ladies and gentlemen, the NFL is back. This week Matt Blahut and I break down our expectations for every conference, division, and team this season. The fans are back, stadiums are loud and a lot fresh talent has arrived, it should be a great year. Enjoy. 

This Saturday will be the 20th Anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. This week I am joined by my cousin John Breen, an FDNY lieutenant who was at Ground Zero during the attack and my uncle Art Lindquist who worked in the financial district at the time and has a great story from the other side of the Hudson. Enjoy.  

Thank the heavens! College football is back and we have quite a slate this Labor Day weekend. We discuss what to expect Week 1 and what matchups with have weight on the teams product the rest of the season. Enjoy. 

This week we're tackling the challenging questions ranging from having smelling fingers to having a therapy session with Hannibal Lecter. Enjoy. 

I have to say the title is misleading as this is a very one sided fight. DC has been churning out absolute garbage and can't even find their Batman and Marvel puts out nothing but incredible movies and now T.V shows. Let's take a look at what DC's issues have been. Enjoy. 

Being back into the world again may be weird for some but let us review, it has always been weird. Let me, Nick, and Victor walk you through the social situations we've never liked and not just because we've been out of it for a while. Enjoy. 

I hate to break it to you all but we're not getting any younger. This week I wanted to discuss wine as it is something that you'll be bringing on dates, if the date goes well meeting your special someone's parents, or will be a gift for someone you care about. That being said, do you want to serve someone you care about sewage water?! Or more importantly do you want to buy an expensive bottle of w...

Video Games have had a weird life cycle. From simple Pong to the micro transaction hell we're in now video games have become a global billion dollar industry. Tim Burklow joins me to discuss our passions and beefs in the gaming realm. 

We're back! After a minor (major) inconvenience we're back to discuss my inevitable demise, am I going to get murdered, kidnapped, or eaten by a wolf. Let's discuss some hypotheticals. Enjoy. 

Would you have believed me if I told you 10 years ago the NBA Conference Finals would be between four small market teams (none of them including Lebron) and the PGA would be more enjoyable amongst 18-25 year olds than baseball?! What a wild summer of sports we have to dive in and have a chat. Enjoy. 

Summer is here and you have to know what you're talking about. Put down the Natural Lights and join me and Matt Blahut so you have some good drinks to have/talk about this summer. Enjoy.  

This week we throwback to discussing the worst movie endings of all time (in my opinion). I've been having some technical difficulties at home we have some good guests coming up so don't worry, we'll have some fresh content next week. Enjoy. 

We're getting there! As states start to open up we get to go back to doing some of the things we love to do in our free time. Let's take a look at some of our vices we get to get back into! Enjoy. 

As a fan of nature documentaries I always wanted to interview someone who films them. While he was not my 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd pick I sit down with eccentric nature filmmaker Dr. Sir Chester Farmington to discuss his process. Enjoy. 

Back in the day you used to have to wish on a shooting star to become a well known entertainer, well not anymore. Dan Jachera joins me to discuss the Golden Age of Streaming and how just about anyone can make it big time with some skill and talent. Enjoy. 

This week we slip back into our dirty little vice, answering random questions from the internet. Intelligent rabid dogs, Rainforest Cafe, and Tik Tok we got it all. Enjoy. 

This week we go back to when Dan Jachera came by the studio to take on some of the weirdest hypotheticals the internet has to offer. Enjoy. 

Ever want to be commended for running through the streets naked? Ever want to whip tomatoes at your neighbors? Have you ever just wanted to have the world celebrate Tom Hanks?! Today we take a trip around the world and take a look at some of the most interesting holidays it has to offer. Enjoy. 

This years draft should be a good one, a lot of QB's and playmakers will be taken in the first round. Matt Blahut joins me to discuss this interesting draft. Enjoy. 

Sickened. Disgusted. Appalled. We love to watch shows about weird foods from other countries but wait until you hear what people are eating in your own backyard or even worse, things YOU are eating. Enjoy. 

Aren't you sick of ordering out or just twiddling your thumbs at a bar you can't walk around at? This week we discuss how you can take your whole mundane daily routine and turn it into a fun experience from coffee to dessert. Enjoy. 

There comes a time in a person's life where they can either pretend to find the MLB season entertaining or start searching for some more sports to watch. This week I outline some other interesting sports you can watch that you may not have seen before as we get into the lull in the sports world until football/college basketball starts back up. Enjoy. 

This week, in honor of a 3-day weekend for most people, (and due to technical difficulties) we are throwing it back with Matt Blahut and Jake Anderson to help you guys pick out some nice booze to bring out for the upcoming weekend. Enjoy 

What a March Madness this has been so far. Great basketball all around and if you say your bracket is still perfect, well you're simply a liar. Nick Valent joins me to discuss the tournament so far and how we think the teams are going to do from here on out. Enjoy.
