  • Lame sports talk

    It is entertaining when they aren’t talking about sports. These guys spend so much time watching tv in order to watch all these sports, the only reason you should watch that much tv is if you can’t walk. We don’t care about your boring children’s sports either Brendan, god get them into an engineering program not brain dead ball games.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fan Favorite Episode 575 Clay Travis
Q: What is your view on the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the data behind the decisions?
Clay argues for targeted quarantines and a more nuanced approach, noting that deaths have largely affected specific populations (like nursing homes) and that broader lockdowns may not be justified by the data for all groups.
Fan Favorite Episode 538 Chris Distefano
Q: What was the turning point that allowed you to pursue stand-up full time?
He describes leaving physical therapy and choosing to headline and tour after exposure from MTV shows and building a national audience, realizing comedy was his path despite the risks and long hours.
Fan Favorite Episode 321 BEST OF 2017
Q: Bryan, do you think Michael fondled Chuck Liddell's balls last night in the green room, or did he just power bump him?
There was a shift in the atmosphere, and Michael got flustered around Chuck Liddell, turning the vibe significantly. Bryan humorously suggested that the mood shifted dramatically upon Chuck's arrival and that Michael could have stumbled in his words during their encounter.
Fan Favorite Episode 391 Chris D'Elia
Q: Why do you do your podcast?
There's an appetite for it, people want to know what's on the menu today.
Fan Favorite Episode 367 Theo Von
Q: What's the worst injury you've ever had?
When I was born, my wiener hole was too small and they had to cut it to be bigger.
