Geoff and Justin are visiting the dusty sands of the coliseum AND the Emerald City of Oz in today’s jam-packed episode! They’re breaking down the highs and lows of this year’s Barbenheimer, the dual box office juggernauts of Wicked and Gladiator II! How wild is it that the musical based on the lore of the Wizard of Oz is more political than the drama about ancient Rome?? The bois also discuss noted sore loser Drake and his embarrassing lawsuit against UMG and Spotify. Defy gravity with us, listeners dear!

Pass the cranberry sauce! Thanksgiving is finally upon us, and our resident wannabe Martha Stewarts Geoff and Justin are raring to talk about all their favorite cooking tips! Before that, they simply MUST discuss Beyoncé’s NFL Christmas plans, Kendrick’s new album, and Sabrina Carpenter’s Christmas special! After, G+J talk spatchcocking, debate the best potatoes to use for your mash, and rank the most iconic Thanksgiving desserts. It’s all fun and games until the Bants bois start talking DEVILED EGGS—a topic that may irrevocably scar their partnership (business) and friendship to boot!

It’s time to stop being polite, and start getting real about Reality TV! Geoff and Justin are duking it out over reality television! Is it trash? Is it high art? Both?! The boys discuss everything from Survivor to Great British Bake Off to Real Housewives of New York! Before their reality chat G+J also touch on Charli’s stint as host and musical guest on SNL and the downright depressing fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. We live in a society, listeners dear!

Welp, we survived the election, and it didn’t go the way we’d hoped! Rub some dirt on it, listeners dear, and tune in to hear the BANTS bois discuss the new hotness in pop culture to distract from the gnawing void! This week, G+J discuss the *questionable* casting of Jeremy Allen White (JAW) as the Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen, and the already iconic NYC Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest. Most importantly, Grammy nominations have dropped, and Geoff is itching to get ahead after his loss to Justin in their Emmys competition! Our hosts discuss the snubs of Dua Lipa, Jack Antonoff, and Megan thee Stallion, and noms for Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, and perennial pod favorite Charli xcx. Who will come out on top??

But first, they discuss spooky new singles from Lady Gaga and Tyler, the Creator and a potential new installment of the legendary Super Smash Bros. series.
