Brunch

Both Pete and DJ have new musical love interests. We figure out why baseball writers like Bruce Springsteen so much. The Father John Misty subreddit has fallen on bleak times. We review 'Between Two Ferns: The Movie' and 'Ad Astra.'

Brave Dave tore his ACL, Pete has strep throat and we're all gonna die. After some corporate blowback, the BBoP are careful to please. The ads are good and everything else is bad. 

Taking your calls on The Morning Buzz! A moment of silence for the late Paul Walker. Holy smokes, Lana del Rey really *is* having a moment! Plus, a review of 'It: Chapter 2' -- a five-hour saga that we still don't really understand.  

So we didn't see it, or Midsommar (Director's Cut), but Randy saw the latter and we watched the controversial Dave Chappelle special. We also made a Taylor Swift playlist.

The world-famous Taylor tiers get podcast-first treatment for "Lover." Answering some curious headlines. "Ready or Not" pops off. 

NPR Brunch presents: An essay you never fucking asked for. 

Popeyes' new chicken sandwich is making people lose their mind, but is it THAT much better than every other chicken sandwich? It's a bad week to be a gas station. Plus, reviews for 'Good Boys' and 'Blinded By The Light.'

Episode brought to you by FEALS. 

"Where y'all sitting?" is a smash hit. An old guy sang too many smash hits at karaoke and wound up in the hospital. While you idiots are asking whether a hot dog is a sandwich, we're asking more important hot dog questions. "The Kitchen" is an astonishing failure. DJ sees a Fast and the Furious movie and loves it. Emilio sits on Pete's lap.

We mock the worst meme in the history of the internet, discuss the new Haim single and where it came from, plus reviews of 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and 'Crawl.' 

A very specific solution to Taylor Swift's current dilemma. The "crying about Mr. Rogers" fad is getting out of control. "The Lion King" was indeed disappointing. 

In a shockingly on-topic episode, the boys discuss 'Midsommar' -- the latest horror movie from Ari Aster -- and that's about it. Also briefly discussed: Chest hair and 'Ready or Not.'
