"Strictly" Conversational with Bailey and Noah

The "year in review" that no one asked for, brought to you by yours truly. 2020 was dominated by pain, but that doesn't mean that people stopped being good and making good things. Let's talk about our favorite media of the year as we close out 2020, and Season 1 of the Strictly Conversational Podcast - together.

It's mid-November, the air is only partially chilly, and you haven't quite felt a craving for a cup of hot cocoa yet - that can only mean one thing... it's Christmastime in America! Or at the very least, it's Christmastime in the Strictly Conversational household. This week, Bailey and Noah are hanging up their stockings and wearing matching pajamas as they prepare for the Christmas season by talking about the best and worst things about the holidays. So sit back, turn on your hour-long fireplace video, and enjoy the episode!

No one said it better than Master Yoda himself in Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, but maybe two dudes in a closet can break down what it really means to fail in life, and whether or not failure really is the end... Maybe it's just the beginning. In this week's episode, Bailey, Noah, and Noah's tube of Fruit Punch Crystal Light talk about all of the things that have knocked them down in life, and all the reasons they've had to get back up.

You ever heard the old adage, "they don't make em' like they used to"? Well, in this episode, Noah, Bailey, and special guest Brady Bouldin compare animated classics like 1995's Toy Story to cinematic gems like Ice Age 5: Collision Course, Angry Birds 2, and don't even get us STARTED on Minions 7: President Minion. So sit back, grab your Sno Caps, shut those bratty, babysitting kids up for 85 minutes, and enjoy the show!

If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile, if you like to waltz with potatoes, up and down the produce aisle... Have we got an episode for you! This week, we're talking about one of our favorite long-standing animated Christian TV series of all time. Well, pretty much the only long-standing animated Christian TV series. We'll be discussing how Veggietales has impacted us morally and spiritually, and why these seemingly simple lessons really are the bread and butter of the best sides of us.

Someone's been stealing Bailey's straws his whole life. Domino's pizza is overrated, and you can take that to the bank. The American government is broken, we think? We've dedicated various amounts of time to all of that and more! In this week's episode, we talk about all the things that you, dear listeners, have suggested as possible episode topics. We hope you enjoy listening to us crack open the proverbial mailbag of ideas that came from your very own craniums, for which we are eternally grateful!

In this episode, Noah and Bailey talk to their good friend Sam about their natural, God-given athleticism and the difficulties of being such good bros... Just kidding. We spend time breaking down societal expectations of manliness and how we've coped with never really fitting in because of super-imposed gender norms. We hope you enjoy this fun and insightful conversation about being a "man" and the timelessness of Glee.

In this episode, we talk about finding identification and emotional freedom in the art we consume and make ourselves. We hope you feel seen, heard, and validated through this conversation and we want you to know that you are not alone, even if you, as we all do, feel like you are sometimes.

Could you imagine watching a new movie every day for a year? In this episode, Noah and Bailey talk to their first guest, Daniel Stroud, about his experience doing just that. So we hope you enjoy listening to this discussion as well as Daniel's audition tape for Josh Trank's Capone 2.
