The Avant Podcast

Brock steps in for Joshua as we dive into a playful battle of the generations. Who had the better video games, tech, toys, and childhood experiences—Millennials or Gen Alpha? We talk GoldenEye and Minecraft, Oregon Trail and TikTok, and even open up some bizarre modern collectibles. Are today’s kids living in a digital dream, or did we have it better with Saturday morning cartoons and dial-up inte...

We’ve got strong opinions and absolutely no qualifications to back them up. In this episode, we debate the dumbest sports ever invented (yes, curling is on the list), try to settle once and for all which movie franchise reigns supreme, and invent a few ridiculous sports of our own. Is golf just expensive walking? Should Sharknado have been a one-and-done? Are we qualified to answer any of this? Ab...

This week, we bring in reinforcements—our cousin Nick (resident Pokémon expert) and our buddy Brock (self-proclaimed Dorkémon master). Nick tries to explain Pokémon to a table of confused adults, we test his knowledge with a “real or fake” challenge, and then things spiral into a Pokémon vs. Dorkémon showdown. We also get the inside scoop on what it's really like to work at a movie theater and...

From harmless laughs to borderline betrayals, we’re digging into memorable pranks from our history. You might just get some ideas (or warnings). In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane—one booby trap, fake announcement, and cling-wrapped toilet seat at a time. Whether it was a prank that had everyone laughing for weeks or one that  almost  ended a friendship, we’re laying it all out. Expe...

From school buses and military trucks to late-night auction wins and questionable crypto investments, we’re airing out our financial regrets and ridiculous purchases. In this episode, we break down the dumbest things we’ve ever bought—some funny, some expensive, and some just flat-out embarrassing. Whether it was chasing a dream or just a terrible idea, no impulse buy is off the table. Tune in for...

Spiral into nonsense with us as we tackle Would You Rather questions  and  dumb debates  that make zero sense—and that's exactly the point. From hot takes on ridiculous scenarios to arguing over the truly unimportant, this episode is full of laughs, chaos, and the kind of logic that only works at 2 a.m. Whether you love hypothetical questions or just enjoy watching people passionately debate dumb...

We hit record with no plan—just a bunch of bad podcast name ideas and a mission to figure out what we’re even doing. Somehow, we actually land on a name: The Avant Podcast. Along the way, there’s plenty of off-topic nonsense, questionable decisions, and a solid preview of what’s to come.
