    • Favorite Songs of 1991 Part 1 (Behind the Scenes)

      In this episode, the curtain is peeled back and the listeners get to listen to the "process" of narrowing down a list.  An original list of 36 songs associated with 1991 is cut down to 11 to be voted on next week (and it might be missing your favorite).  You can listen along as Dion, Irv, Jon, and Marnie inevitably cut your favorite song from 1991. Why 1991, you might ask?  Well, in addition to it being a formative time for Dion, Jon, and Marnie as they navigated through their high school years, this happens to be the year that Irv was born!  Thank you to one of our loyal Poin'ers Lexi for suggesting the idea for this episode.  As always, you can find us on social media, check us out on Twitter and Instagram @Thatsagoodpoin1

    • Best Chicken Wing Flavors

      What's your favorite type of chicken wing?  Dion, Irv, and Jon discuss their favorite wing sauces/rubs/marinades.  Each local pub probably serves its own version of chicken wing flavors, but the fellas tasted wing flavors from the local Buffalo Wild Wings.  A lively discussion is had and there's even time for a start one, sit one, cut one at the end of the episode.
