Pros and Cons

From the doctor to the dentist, and the other kinds in-between, scheduling and going to appointments can be a hassle. Whether it's the going and waiting or the specific task you're going for, there's usually something that is not ideal. Kev and Jack talk about their experiences and which types they think of when talking about the term.

While becoming one of the biggest fashion retail outlets around the globe, Uniqlo is still in the process of expanding their American presence. The Japanese company is well established in New York City with multiple locations, but are slowly opening more stores across LA and other big cities. If you’re not aware, it’s basically a store for your essentials of clothing. Jack and Kev talk about their experiences from having the stores around in NYC and their thoughts on the products.

Over the past month or so, the latest version of the Summer Olympics took place in Japan after being delayed a year from covid. Kev and Jack talk about their feelings on “Tokyo 2020” (aka actually 2021), as well as the summer version of the international games overall. Plus, how it compares to the Winter Olympics that were discussed earlier in the year in the Winter Sports episode.

While soda was a discussion topic not long ago, it’s now time for another drink episode of a sibling option: juice (which still can rival in sugar). Jack and Kev talk about types from different fruit, specific brands, and other related drinks in the same arena that might straddle the line. 

In the second installment of a new occasional series, Mystery Box, Kev and Jack picked out a few mini summer topics to combine. The topics are a surprise, but think of beaches and the 90’s… think of childhood/teenage games… and think of a certain type of refreshing dessert.

While a lot of people still stick to rockin their regular shoes in the summer, if you want to have some more breathability and utilize the weather then you might find yourself with some sandals. Whether it be flip flops, slides, crocs, birkenstocks, or one of the long list of women’s options – your feet will be breathing in the warm air. Unless you wear them with socks, of course. Jack and Kev debate the variety of choices and which do or don’t work well.

During the hot summer months, people cool off in different ways. There’s bodies of water – like a pool, beach, or lake – are the most common. But for those feeling more adventurous, and who have a car, then their choice may be a water park. From slides and other rides to pools and games, they can give you a lot of options. Kev and Jack talk about their experiences going to them when they were younger and how they’re feeling about them now.

Comedy comes in a lot of forms. One of the ways is typically with stand up at a club or theater, which the best of are taped and released for later viewing. But in recent years, those comedy specials have started to evolve beyond just a person on stage with a mic telling jokes. Certain comedians are pushing the boundaries of what that can look like, what the jokes can take the form of, and how to present it all to the world. Jack and Kev talk about this overall and also focus on Bo Burnham’s new special “Inside” that was written, recorded, and edited completely by Bo himself in one space during the pandemic.

One of the biggest parts of our lives nowadays is, of course, our phones. But it’s been a while now since a phone meant just calling someone. It’s of course become the blanket term for the device that can do everything. Kev and Jack talk about experiences of their first phones when younger, right when smartphones were initially breaking through, to now when they’re fully established the norm.

With July 4th upon us, what better time to take an in-depth look at one of the most simple but timeless foods around: hot dogs. They are heavily associated with baseball in particular (a favorite sport of the show) so the boys are somewhat biased, but Jack and Kev talk about what they do and don’t like about the hot dog overall, different types of it, and some of the spots in NY & LA.
