Banter for All

It's raining men on a podcast! In an all-weather episode, the boys break down weather-related movies, have a Dairy Queen Blizzard draft (spoiler: Reese's goes undrafted) and talk crazy weather phenomena like ball lightning and St. Elmo's Fire (no, not the movie). Justin can't remember weather or not he was in a tornado, Mike and Rustin harbor umbrella hatred and everyone recommends a relatively obscure 90's sitcom to binge watch.

Greetings, groupies! Come on in the garage and join the band! In this amplified episode, the boys learn the difference between an oboe and a bassoon, talk non-musical bands and write a break up song. Rustin quits the band, Mike wants to drive the bus, and Justin wants to be a doo-wop girl.

San Ban Ooh! (Hello, in Mongolian) In this landlocked episode, the boys jump on their horses and ride deep into the Mongolian steppe. The boys consider eating sheep eyeballs, ice cream in intestines, living in yurts, throat singing and joining Genghis Khan. They also offer some Thanksgiving eating tips you won't wanna miss. Rustin can't live without Taco Bell, Justin literally takes a horse to water but can't make it drink, and Mike doesn't wanna hear you whining about winter.

It's Boo-nter for All! In this haunting Halloween special, the boys are joined by Jerry Seinfeld, talking Halloween history, draft their favorite Halloween night (costumes, candy, scary movies), fill in some trick-or-treat blanks in a new segment with Rustin and make some spook speculations in Would You Rather. Mike wants to punch trick-or-treaters in the face, Justin thinks he can take a vampire and Rustin has a Halloween experience he just flat doesn't wanna talk about.

Hola, hoop heads! It's a Round Ball Rock marathon as we break down the upcoming NBA season in our longest episode to date. The boys predict the over/under win total for all 30 teams, as well as enjoying some NBA trivia and recommend their favorite basketball movies. Hang on – it's a deep dive for NBA nerds!

Ahoy there! It's arrrrrrrrrr most swashbuckling episode to date. Mike drops some pirate trivia knowledge on your brain, Rustin finds the Best Words and Justin finds the "would you rather" he's been waiting for all along. Justin gets a tattoo on his butt cheek, Mike wants big ears and Rustin wants to be keelhauled.

Live, from Hollywood! It's unscripted banter on reality television. Justin bust out a Reality TV bracket, voting on their all-time faves, Mike's loins are REALLY burning, and Rustin goes Espanol.

WARNING: If you love the NFL and geeky analysis, this is the show for you! If not, you may want to skip this one: the power is YOURS! Our "Banter for Ball" track will be for the sports enthusiast. 

Guest host Rustin quarterbacks the discussion as the boys prediction division winners, determine which teams need to panic and decide the fate of the bottom dwellers. Also on the table, favorite NFL names, childhood football love and which fantasy sport is truly the best? 

The best part of waking up is this pod (cast) in your cup! In this espresso'd episode the boys invite an local expert, Elaina the Barista, to have it out over tipping at coffee shops. We learn about the origins of coffee (involving goats and monks), Mike's personal coffee habits and some caffeinated factoids with Rustin in a mini game bonanza (did you recognize the drop?). Justin discovers the meaning of generosity, Rustin struggles with coffee puns and Mike finds his soul mate: Christian Bale.

You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal episode! In this edition, the bandits of banter steal your laughs through contemplating why men vastly outweigh women in "criming", Justin and Mike break into an Illinois castle, and they consider which famous criminals would make good next door neighbors and high school basketball team moms, and who would win in a fight: the Unabomber or the Hamburglar? Mike wants to befriend serial killers, Justin can't do calendar math and Rustin brings some fortune cookies.
