A podcast about EVERYTHING... but mostly the stuff we like. Two friends talking about everything and anything that they’re interested in a that particular moment. From science fiction to sports, movies to music, books to Battlestar Galactica... we try to cover it all in our own, special, idiotic way.

As some of you long-time listeners might know, this podcast was born (some would say inflicted but those negative nellies can go suck an egg) into this world tangentially related to New England sports teams. Rather than only calling each other after championships, we decided to start this podcast as a more effective means of staying in touch. Which, considering the state of the New England sports scene these days, that was probably a good idea. In this episode, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of our more epic post-championship phone calls, the 2004 Boston Red Sox.
Also, we talk fake football teams, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Skeleton Crew, and more in this episode's Week In Geek!

After a 20 year hiatus, WWE decided it was about time to resurrect the Bad Blood pay per view, just with one less D because… you know… shrinkflation. It was a fairly stacked card featuring Hell In A Cell returning home to the event that spawned the dastardly contraption meant to settle all family business. So, would Trips and Company continue their run of well-received PLEs or would this one fall on its face? We adjudicate the event in this, episode 180 – ‘Cause Now We Got Bad Blood!
Also, in we talk Star Wars, Scarlet Witch, The Acolyte, fake football, and more in this episode's Week In Geek!

As is our wont from time to time, we’re going to dive into a pair of albums and give you our thoughts, opinions, and recommendations. This time around, we’re matching up two iconic bands who defied the odds to hold together through drugs and drama before coming out the other side with comeback albums in their middle aged dad eras. It’s Glimmer Twins versus Toxic Twins and Aerosmith versus Stones in this Album One-On-One episode - Steel Wheels versus Permanent Vacation!
Also, in we talk over our fake football teams, the Mr. McMahon documentary, and a sizable In Memoriam section in this episode's Week In Geek!

We review the aftermath of the least-beloved Star Wars streaming show to air on Disney+, "The Acolyte". Why did this one fall flat on its face? Why did "Andor" get more love while seemingly rated about the same? And why did The Mouse give this one the heave-ho while "Andor" lives to fight another day? We get into all!
Also, we talk about fantasy football, the passing of a wrestling legend, more Star Wars new, and other pop culture detrius in this episode's The Week In Geek!

We made some bold (and somewhat idiotic) predictions about what was going to happen with Deadpool & Wolverine. A few weeks (and a billion dollars in worldwide gross) later, we're here to tally up the score and see which one of us got this thing right... oh, let's be honest... less wrong. Come with us on this adventure of foolishness, won't you?

The 37th annual WWE SummerSlam is in the books and we're ready to tally up the results of our idiotic predictions. Who won? Who lost? How good or bad were the matches?
