Pros and Cons episodes

  • Fireworks

    While usually reserved for Fourth of July and New Years, there have been active fireworks as part of our pandemic lives ever since lockdown began. Jack and Kev talk about how that's been, what it was like for them with fireworks growing up, comparisons between NYC and LA, and more.

  • Summer School

    At least for New York City, this is right around the time when the regular school has ended and the summer school sessions are about to shortly begin. Kev and Jack talk about their thoughts and experiences with it in the NYC Public School system. 

    (Sidenote: The movie named Summer School is briefly mentioned in this episode and the day after recording, the director of that movie - Carl Reiner - passed away. R.I.P to a comedy legend!)

  • Road Trips
    It's the start of summer and for many people that means it's the season of taking road trips. But what even defines what a road trip is exactly? And what makes one good or bad? Jack and Kev look at their experiences, how to keep entertained, what snacks / drinks to have, and their dreams of future trips to take.

  • PlayStation
    With the new PS5 being unveiled this past week, we decided to give our initial reactions to it after we go through our history with PlayStation overall and experiences with each of the consoles leading up to now. And is PlayStation a better system than XBOX? Or Nintendo even? Kev and Jack break it down.

  • Michael Jordan / The Last Dance
    While many film releases were put on hold for coronavirus, one that got moved up for that very reason was the Michael Jordan documentary series that was going to originally be released in June (of this year). Instead, ESPN and Netflix pushed it up and released it over five weeks during April and May with two episodes a week. It got a lot of hype on social media in that time, but did it live up to it? And is a documentary of arguably the greatest basketball player, and potentially even greatest athlete all time, ever going to be good enough for its subject? Jack and Kev discuss what it did right, and what it did wrong, of what they wanted to see from it.

  • Connect Four
    After talking about Monopoly a while ago, the next board game up for discussion is the well-known Connect Four. The boys discuss its simple design, what you could expect when playing, and if it's stood the test of time.
    20 min
  • Walmart vs. Target
    Two of the biggest stores around may have some similarities, but they also have plenty of differences. What makes one better or worse than the other? And who comes out on top? Kev and Jack compare the two through different categories.
    32 min
  • Birthdays
    In connection with Jack's birthday today and Kev's happening last month, the boys talk about their history with the annual age-changing tradition. From being a kid to now, they break down how their feelings on how birthdays for them have changed over time.
    1 hr 2 min
  • School Lunch
    Looking back on the years of elementary through high school, how good or bad was the school lunch food? Kev and Jack look back on their experience with NYC Public Schools and the best and worst choices that were served. Plus, getting to go out for food later on in school and more.
    36 min
  • Fortnite
    Arguably the most popular video game in the world right now, Fortnite is an original video game that came out of the shadows in July 2017 and quickly rose to prominence with its free cost and new gameplay approach. It only kept soaring in users, including when Drake and Travis Scott hopped on to play with Ninja one random night in March 2018. Does it still hold the crown for the top game? Kev and Jack discuss their thoughts on it.
