Cheesesteak and Chowder

Tom Brady returns to New England, and why is The Addams Family still in my life?

We put up the Scram signal and Jason can't hold back his excitement over the start of the Mac Jones era (and the end of the Scram Newton era) for his beloved Patriots. We take a bite off the Shaq-a-Roni pizza pie when Shaquille O'Neal endorses C&C. Upon discovery of "Swimply," the VRBO-style swimming pool rental app, we workshop our own new "shitty" ideas including "Uber Johns" and "Uber Jacks." And why is the McRib still in my life?

We've got 99 reasons why the Olympics would be better if we were in charge! By 99, we mean a few, but who's counting. I don't know, but I know who's NOT counting... Olympic Cyclists. Let's get to it...

Does a salad have to have greens to call itself a salad? We discuss the shortcomings of starch slathered in mayonnaise, an impromptu stud envy cherry-picking fantasy draft, and a whole lot more!

You've heard of famous athletes whose names suit their job perfectly - like basketball's Tim Duncan, football's Joey Goodspeed, or professional poker player Chris Moneymaker. Well, in this episode we give you a few of the lesser-known folks that belong to that club... aka, the "Willy Waveman All-Stars." Also, why is the Noid back in my life???

We ponder questions about shoehorns, starbucks stoppers, why Godzilla is still in my life, the world's best jackets, and a visit to the Pappy's Products test kitchen.

Jason and Anthony are joined by interim producer Hunter, as they put together their respective Mt. Rushmores for "hometown d-bags," aka, the guys from each of their hometowns (Boston, Philly, and NYC) who they hated to root for, but had to because they played for their favorite teams. Then Jason takes issue with the fact that curly fries never come unseasoned, we wonder why Punky Brewster is back in our lives, and we gently dip our toes into the Dr. Seuss cancel culture discussion.

With the NFL season wrapping up, and hockey and basketball underway, Jason, Anthony, and Hunter talk lots of NFL, ask "Why are you still in my life?" about Bill Belichick and Ken Jeong, play America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?" along with some new surprise games. And they wrap things up with the inaugural inductees into the "Sean Salt Hall of Fame," the shrine to honor the trendiest of marketing terms and food product buzz words.

We're outdoors on the Villa Papagna post-election and mid-pandemic, pontificating on why Jake from State Farm is still in our lives, a visit with the grammar police, a round of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?" and take-committed Jason in a losing argument with Anthony and Hunter about the ironic misfortunes of private plane clientele having to deal with hairdo-destroying wind gusts and pelting rain on the tarmac while commonfolk peasants enjoy the modern amenities of the jetway. And throughout the pod, the studio dog may or may not have channeled Andy Dufresne and burrowed her way out of the backyard prison.

We return to the outdoor studio on the Villa Papagna for "Cheopardy," our Cheesesteak & Chowder tribute to Alex Trebek. Jason and Anthony are joined by interim producer Hunter, to play a game of Jeopardy-style questions with special Bean Bag Studios categories.
