Random Talk

You've heard of Blind Dates, but have you heard of Blind Q&A's?!? On S2 E13, Tacen tries to guess Matthew's middle name, and they (attempt) to play a new game live on the pod...The boys then come up with a band name for their friend Tanner, and then they all sit around Tacen’s table and talk about cookies, cereal, and peanut butter (a.k.a Creamy Nut Spread)...Tanner’s milk is soggy, Matthew is team Chunky, and Tacen doesn’t have a brain tumor. Go follow @randomtalkpodcast on Instagram and just ignore the rough audio cuts throughout the sode...stay to the end to get ricked rolled!!!

"Just Freaking Be Kind." Put it on a t-shirt! On this episode Tacen starts a movement to spread more love and kindness called "People Love People" and they suggest late April Fools prank ideas (to do next year.) Matthew goes on the Random Talk Post Game Talk (everyone's favorite segment!) two times to talk about his basketball battles with Post Malone and Bol Bol, and his Ultimate Frisbee victories... Matthew loves late-night text conversations, the boys give shoutouts to everyone except for the "Seans," and they can't stop screaming "Sheeeeesh!" To end S2 E12, Matthew, unfortunately, levels down on the "Dream-Friendship Scale" due to Tacen not ever having a dream about him, and on that note, they wonder if it's a good idea to tell your friends (or strangers) that you had a dream about them last night...

The boys invite their first ever official guest, and good friend Scooby on the podcast (not the dog)! He’s just a Spanish boy who likes to make videos for fun and probably solves mysteries with the gang on the side too! On this episode the boys share stories and laugh about their time in Chinese class and Matthew and Scooby go on Shark Tank to pitch their new invention: Shower Straws©! They give ideas on what color Tacen should die his hair next, and Scooby flexes about his weekly workouts...Mario Party, LEGO dates, Chinese songs, and yogurt dm’s are all discussed on S2 E11! (Oh yeah we can’t forget Matthew and Scooby’s celebrity appearance at East High). Go follow our Instagram (@randomtalkpodcast) and go follow the homie (ScoobyZ123) on YouTube! Vibez!!!

Introducing, Matthew Jepson: The most interesting person ever! (According to Tacen) On this episode the boys learn that Tacen joined an Ultimate Frisbee team, how to pronounce the word "dagger" in Russian ("kenzjal"), and they learn what holiday lands on Matthew's birthday (Spoiler Alert!) It's National Eat Beans Day! Speaking of beans, Matthew share's his experience of slurping baked beans at school, down to bean town...Then after watching the Jazz win, the boys come back and discuss Mascot Matthew absolutely destroy small kids all day long in dodgeball! Tacen loves the kindness of strangers, Matthew can't decide between Gatorade and Body Armor, and they both break down their Top 5 (family friendly) emoji's. Remember "a compliment a day, keeps the bad guys away!"

Matthew isn't a sophomore and Tacen is definitely 7 foot 3 (don't be misconstruing)...On this episode of the best podcast in the world, the boys bring a close to the Random Talk Post Game Talk (for basketball) as they reflect on their past season, while setting future plans to become pro duckpin bowlers. They come to a realization that they both can't do algebra nor take naps, and Tacen gives a shoutout to all the (happy) women out there. To conclude, Matthew turns to BuzzFeed for some Hot Takes and we learn the force isn’t strong with him, and Tacen just wants to give you a little extra sauce on your cake for doing so good this season (iykyk).

Episode 8 is not sponsored by "Dixon Ticonderoga" Pencils, but sponsored and dedicated to grandmas! On this (Fun Friday) episode of the Random Talk Podcast, the boys discover that it's "Barq's Root Beer" (and not spelled with a "g") and Matthew discovers the secret to the Discover Weekly Weekly Update algorithm...The boys reflect back on their school memories of writing cursive, and agree that compliments from girls on their handwriting are the best! Tacen gives deep thoughts about visiting the past, and Matthew is pumped to tell the world about his trusty, magical mechanical pencil! After nearly losing an hours worth of audio, Tacen questions if everyone with the same last name is related, and they laugh (nicely) about the dancing grannies...Chips and salsa party at Matthew's house so Tacen can finally meet his great-grandma, just B.Y.O.G, and we'll provide those exercise balls!

March is here, and so is Episode 7 of Season 2! The boys blast off and talk about the madness of this month and jinx the Jazz (again)...They mention Bieber, Bill Mars and Bill Nye all while gathering rock samples on their big rover, and a lengthy Top 5 segment reveals Tacen’s backstories of his favorite fountain sodas...Matthew thinks Mountain Dew, Sprite, and 7Up taste the exact same, Tacen loves his potato chips, and they help you count and sing songs in Chinese. Go follow our Instagram (@randomtalkpodcast) and good luck on that English test Tacen...

Is Gorilla Glue the best substitute for hair gel? Is Ultimate Frisbee really that ultimate? How do you milk an almond? All these questions, and more, are answered during the next hour and 12 minutes of this episode...Additionally, Matthew and Tacen start planning their new kids restaurant menu; full of lunchables, chocky milk, and all the childhood snacks you can think of, as Matthew learns a new word (Echelon) and they talk about the rough past couple days full of bad vibez. To end, the boys debate, research and find out all 23 “flavors” of Dr.Pepper...Don’t do drugs, do your homework instead, and remember to keep those books up!

Screw a Valentines Day Special and let’s spice up those chicken nuggets! (Vibez!) On this episode of the Random Talk Podcast, the boys make bold future plans to go on a world tour to taste test spicy nuggets and fly around in the Milky Way Galaxy...While trying not to jinx the professional basketball team that plays in Utah (and their own basketball team), the boys give great valentine card ideas related to the pod, and Matthew shares another embarrassing (but awesome) state testing story...The Slam Poetry segment stumps Tacen, while Matthew gives an update on his game pigeon tournament. Bowling with the boys just hits different, and if you don’t have a green colored folder for Science class then what are you doing?!?

We don’t suggest running on the field during the Super Bowl, but we do suggest sending a Valentine’s Day card to children at St. Jude’s Hospital! (https://www.stjude.org/get-involved/other-ways/valentines-day.html) On S2 E4, the boys discuss their most previous basketball game, and talk about Matthew’s Mt. Rushmore of recent artists...The spider returns in a stunning sequel (Wanted: Big Momma) and Tacen appreciates and loves his school lunches. The boys have a weak week in the Slam Poetry segment, but bounce back with a new game show called: “What Color Is That?!” Episode 4 is all about spider laughs, golden birthdays, and talking deeply about the colors that come to mind of the numbers 1-10...
