  • Playlist Challenge - “Clones” (Songs with Identical Titles)

    It’s our most challenging challenge yet! Join hosts E and Tank as they review and rate playlists they make for one another, this time with the twist that they all have to share a title! Featuring a song neither host wanted but ended up needing in the weirdest way.

    We have a video show that drops weekly on YouTube!

Who did the guys not remember being on the song? Who got the drunkest (during the recording of the song, not this podcast episode - that answer should be obvious)? Listen in and find out!

  • What’s the Connection Between Sports and Music?
    Before the episode kicks off (😖), hosts E and Tank want to remind you that there’s a video edition of the show you can watch right now! It’s about album covers, and we think it’s pretty great even if we forgot to tell you about it initially. We’re still new at this self promotion thing. 🤷 Check out youtube.com/@extendedplaypod.
    But in today’s episode, we’re back to talk about the connection between sports and music. How vital is music to the experience of watching sports? Why do athletes so often wish they were musicians? Why do we care so much about who Travis Kelce is dating? We get into that and a whole lot more.
