    O.J. Simpson

    O.J. Simpson

    OJ Simpson died, which depending on how you felt about him is a good or bad thing. Regardless, he was a really weird dude and was responsible for the biggest media circus anyone had ever seen up to that point during a formative time in our teen years. This week we look back on a bad guy’s weird life.

    Eclipses

    Eclipses

    Everybody's losing their minds about the solar eclipse that's happening this week, super excited that the sun will be blocked by the moon for a few minutes. One thing is for sure -- you definitely shouldn't look at it because it's dangerous, despite what some idiot podcaster might say.

    Continental Breakfast

    Continental Breakfast

    “Free continental breakfast.” Are there three more beautiful words in the English language? This week, Tim’s fresh off the plane from Hollywood and thinks he’s too good for them now. Also, we discuss the various items available at a continental breakfast, but mostly we hypothesize if the bagel conveyor toaster ovens can possibly be improved.

    Pepsi

    Pepsi

    We've never done an episode about Pepsi, despite one host being a certified soda freak, so we're righting that wrong this week and taking the Pepsi Challenge. And as card carrying members of Generation Next™ we have plenty to say about the world's #2 soda brand.

The Complete Guide to Quality Entertainment

I started listening to this podcast almost a decade ago when I was only in middle school, my cousin loved it and I wanted to as well, even if a lot of the references went over my head as a barely-teenaged Canadian girl. Now here I am well into university and still listening regularly, to the new episodes, the old ones, and even the Patreon exclusives.
If you’re looking for a serious and informed source on a particular topic (as some reviewers here seem to have been) this probably won’t be the podcast for you, although I’ve certainly learned a lot over my years of listening. But if you’re just looking to relax and have some laughs with two guys who don’t take themselves too seriously, then you’re right where you need to be.

It’s ok

At first I thought this was an educational podcast but soon realized it’s comedy. They speak about the topic for maybe 5% of the show and then unrelated jibber jabber for the other 95%. It’s sort of funny but not my cup of tea!

Really not good

Painful discussion about nothing precedes discussion about the listed topic, and it doesn’t get much better after that. Sorry, but there’s not much to this.
