The Big Sky Banter episodes

  • Episode #12- Smells

    Let’s face it—life stinks. Literally.

    In our very first episode, we dive nose-first into the world of smells: the good, the bad, and the “who stepped in that?” From the scent of candles to the horror of dead animals, we ask the hard-hitting questions: Why does nostalgia smell like your grandma’s closet? Can farts be weaponized? And who decided lavender was relaxing?

    Join us as we sniff out the science of scent, share some truly questionable personal stories, and maybe solve the mystery of why your dog keeps smelling there.

    ps. We don't solve anything, we just banter

  • Episode #11- Stuff That Freaks us Out

    Big snakes? Terrifying. Heights? Nope. The sound your fridge makes at 3 a.m.? Absolutely not. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the bizarre, irrational, and oddly specific things that send shivers down our spines and make us question everything—including our own sanity.

    Join us as we laugh, cringe, and overanalyze the weird stuff that freaks us out. From childhood fears we definitely haven't outgrown to everyday things that just feel... off, it's all fair game. Warning: listening to this episode may cause spontaneous goosebumps and uncontrollable giggling.

  • Episode #10- Our National Treasures

    In this episode, we take a look at the treasures that often go unnoticed—the people, places, memories, and moments that quietly shape our national identity. Whether it's a giant hairball in Kansas, a forgotten piece of history, or a story passed down through generations, these are the things that connect us, remind us of where we’ve been, and hint at where we’re going.

  • Episode #9- Most Overrated and Underrated Things

    What do farts, air fryers, and dental dams have in common? Maybe nothing—or maybe everything. In this episode, we passionately talk about the most overrated and underrated things in existence. Expect bold opinions, questionable logic, and at least one unnecessary rant about Chile Relleno Burritos. If you've ever been personally victimized by a trend or fallen in love with something everyone else ignores, this one's for you.

  • Episode #8- Craziest Military Agencies and Trainings

    Today, we’re diving into some of the wildest military programs and training methods from around the world.

Strap in, because this episode gets intense.

  • Episode #7- Most Embarrassing Moments

    In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain and sharing some of our most cringe-worthy, hilarious, and downright embarrassing moments. From awkward encounters to epic fails we wish we could erase from memory, we’re laying it all out there. Laugh along with us as we prove that sometimes, the best way to survive embarrassment is to own it — and then tell the whole world.

  • Episode #6- Banter Part 1 (Really Episode 5!)

    In this episode, the crew gets together for one of those classic late-night convos that somehow jump from deep to hilarious without skipping a beat. We start off talking about the life and what career path we could dream to go down and then spiral into a debate about whether we would go to Jedi Master Class or Hogwarts. No filters, no scripts (never!) just good friends, good vibes, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel like you're right there with us.

  • Episode #5- Craziest Ways the World Could End

    Asteroids and climate change. Real doomsday scenarios: A giant space hole laying an turd on Earth, or everyone suddenly agreeing pineapple belongs on everything. Join us as we explore the most real (and not), scientifically-questionable, and meme-worthy ways humanity might meet its end. Buckle up—it’s the end of the world as we know it, and we feel... kinda stoked!

  • Episode #4- Favorite Spaceships from T.V.

    In this episode, we boldly go where many very opinionated people have gone before: ranking our favorite spaceships from T.V.—because nothing says "serious adult conversation" like passionately debating whether the USS Enterprise makes the list or not. (No).  

    Join us as we talk about aesthetic hull designs, crazy equipped weaponry and defense systems and ask the real questions: Could the Imperial Star Destroyer parallel park? Why does a TIE Fighter look like my right nut? And which ship would you trust to take you home after 7 shots of screwball?

    Come for the sci-fi, stay for the completely necessary love over The Millennium Falcon. Engage.

  • Episode #3- Don't Get Mauled

    This episode, we dive face-first into nature’s warning signs and promptly ignore them. Join us as we recount the times of stupid tourists trying to become best friends with Bison, Bears and other wildlife as well as trying to enjoy yourself in the oh so cozy "hot springs" of Yellowstone National Park. We explore the age-old question: “How close is too close ?” and learn that sometimes, the real wildlife is the friend who thinks bears are just misunderstood dogs.

    So grab your bear spray, leave your common sense at the trailhead, and tune in for this wild ride of mistakes, and mayhem. Nature is beautiful.
