Pros and Cons

As a company with a lot of projects, apps, and hardware – it can be hard to even keep up with all Google does. Jack and Kev break down a bunch of the elements: Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Photos, Google Drive/Docs, Google Calendar, Google Meet, Google Chrome, Google Flights – the list goes on. Does Google do a good job, or do they try to do too much?

Some call it the most important meal of the day, some don't care for it at all. Whether you eat it or not, breakfast can set the tone for the day. Kev and Jack talk about different types of options such as cereal, pastries, bagels, more traditional choices (eggs, pancakes, etc), and some of the other random routes you can go.

As die-hard Yankees fans who grew up right near the stadium in The BX, it’s only right to start an occasional check-in on how the season is going for the Bronx Bombers. In this first edition, Jack and Kev talk about their thoughts on how the team has looked so far with their great start and what still needs to improve. From the pitching to going around the diamond and looking at the hitters, how’s the 2022 version of the Yanks looking after the first month and a half?

Primarily in the sneaker world, but even extending to fashion in general or things like concert tickets, people buying things just to flip and resell them is a problem that has only gotten worse with time. While it was around before, the digitization and the use of bots has taken things to an extreme. It leaves everyday people, the ones actually interested in whatever it is, without a fair shot often to simply buy what they want to buy. Kev and Jack talk about their experiences, touch on the Nike vs. StockX situation, and more on how this issue has evolved over time.

They can take many forms but parks are typically thought of as havens for nature, activities, relaxing, eating, and almost anything else you can think of. However, there are also plenty of other types beyond the basic idea – such as amusement parks, ballparks, national parks, and more. Jack and Kev talk about their experiences with parks in NY/LA, as well as their brief thoughts running through other format styles.

As a hit show that originally aired in the 90s but had another life after in syndication, Fresh Prince was an important show in many ways. Not in the least for being the star vehicle for Will Smith to skyrocket his career. Now, with a new Bel-Air "re-imagination" show airing on streaming based on the original story, the show is in conversation today in a different way. Kev and Jack discuss elements of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air such as the cast, fashion, and episode topic variety.

In a new installment of breaking down new music, Jack and Kev look at a selection of albums and EPs released from January through mid-April 2022. From bigger artists to smaller ones you may not know about yet, and everyone in-between.

From school at a young age to your job when you get older, schedules can be an important part of our lives. Some we're forced into following, some we choose ourselves. But how much you want to take advantage of it or not is up to you. Kev and Jack talk about their experiences from growing up to now and how their feelings on mapping things out have changed over time.

Whether in business or in sports, rivalries can be a big deal for two sides pushing each other to be better than the other. It might be Nike vs. Adidas or it might be the Yankees vs. Red Sox, but either way they're competing against one another to come out on top. Kev and Jack talk about some examples on both sides and mini pros/cons on each.

It was not the typical offseason for baseball with a lockout that seemed like it was never going to end, a crazy class of free agents, and a handful of impactful trades. From Carlos Correa going to the Twins to Freddie Freeman going to the Dodgers and Matt Olson replacing him on the Braves, a lot of moves went down. With Opening Day starting tomorrow, Jack and Kev break down each of the different divisions in the AL and NL to look at where teams stand going into the start of the '22 season.
