Pros and Cons

From style to functionality, glasses can serve a combination of roles. From a regular pair to sunglasses, they can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. But which are the best and worst? Kev and Jack talk about their experience wearing them, any preferences, and where things may be headed.

While streaming for TV/movies has taken over the game over the past decade, and especially the past few years, cable has managed to stick around. This is partially due to certain aspects that work better live, such as sports/news, but how long can it survive on those? Jack and Kev talk about their experiences growing up with cable, the benefits and downsides of streaming coming into play, and preferences between the two.

As one of the sports that anyone can really play, as well as one of the limited indoor options for winter, bowling is still alive and rolling. While most people would probably view it as an old school sport, it's also been turning over the years into more of a party-focused activity. Kev and Jack talk about their experiences with it and the different aspects of the game – from the shoes/shirts to food/drinks and more.

After recapping a second year of quarantine music through various episodes, now it's time to narrow down to the top pros/cons. Jack and Kev look at the albums that came out in 2021 from the artists or bands they like - and discuss the ones that most delivered or disappointed. 

No place on earth says Christmas like California, right? Between the palm trees and no sign of a snow day in sight, it's certainly not what you usually see in a movie (and from the place that makes movies, that is). Kev and Jack talk about how it feels like in the greater Los Angeles area (including O.C), how it compares to NYC, and what else could possibly be done.

There's certain staples when it comes to toys, such as action figures. But with technology growing more dominant by the decade, the status of toys isn't the same as it used to be. Even in the late '90s and turn of the century, while it may not have been the peak of it, there still was a lot of fun and interesting toys being made. Whether that be Hot Wheels, Tamagotchi, Mighty Beanz, Tech Decks, and more – they had their own style and feel. Jack and Kev talk about some of the specific ones they remember, some overall types, and how they view the evolution.

Arguably the most impactful designer in the last decade, Virgil Abloh was able to bridge the gap between high fashion and streetwear. Between his own popular brand, Off White, to becoming the art director and more of Louis Vuitton's menswear, he had plenty of success in fashion. More than that, Virgil was a fixture in the culture. Especially music, with his creative work for Kanye and separately DJ'ing around the world. His collabs also included IKEA furniture and dozens of hyped Nike sneakers. Unfortunately, recently he passed away from a rare cancer on Nov 28th at only 41 years old, a total surprise to the public. Kev and Jack talk about watching Virgil's rise, the impact he had on the younger generation, and how much he accomplished while he was here.

With being fresh off Thanksgiving meals and steering into the holiday season, it’s a perfect time to talk about one of the most classic desserts for all ages: cookies. Jack and Kev give their Top 5 Pros and Top 5 Cons for the different types out there, with everything from gingerbread to chocolate chip to fortune cookies.

In a new installment of breaking down music put out during the pandemic, Kev and Jack look at a selection of albums and EPs released between late September and mid/late November 2021 across a mix of genres. From pop stars to smaller upcoming artists you may not know about yet, and everyone in-between (including the new Adele and Silk Sonic albums, to name a couple).

With the holidays coming up fast, and all the “supply chain” delays, we’re already in the midst of shopping season. Jack and Kev present the first annual P&C Gift Guide episode with a handful of pros ideas and some cons to consider as well. It’s a mix of practical, just for fun, and varying budget levels.
