The Even Stevens Ranked Podcast!

Helloooo, everyone! The podcast is back from the dead with a fun bonus episode hosted by me (Brittany) and my mom, Jeannie! Ethan is still recovering from a health issue that's been affecting his ability to speak, so that's why we've been away and are still unable to record at the moment. So, I thought we should definitely post SOMETHING for you guys in the meantime. 

I called on my lovely mother (and her glorious Boston accent) to hop on the mic with me and run down her Top 10 personal favorite episodes of Even Stevens, similar to the way Ethan and I discuss our lists! A few of you also had some questions for her, so we talk a little bit about our mother/daughter relationship, plus her favorite DCOMS and Disney Channel shows! It's a VERY mature and serious conversation. Just kidding, it's literally my mother and I acting like silly 14-year-old BFFs.

Mom's Even Stevens list starts at 18:35!

Thanks for listening! Let's all hope Ethan gets better soon so we can get back to our regularly scheduled programming ASAP!

Louis channels his inner Shia LaBeouf by living and napping in a store window for two days straight in the name of charity. It ends up being a surprisingly deep and hilarious commentary on today's society and the sensationalism of vapid viral trends. Now that's what I call performance art! #NappingForTheNeedy

Buckle up! We have our first ~big~ argument! I have this episode at No. 8, whereas Ethan has it at No. 30... and things get heated! Which one of us do you agree with more?! We're curious. Let us know! 

This is our longest podcast yet covering an episode of the series! We had a lotttt of notes. In the end, we're left with only one question -- WHAT BED NEEDS 75 RIDICULOUS POSITIONS?!?!

In this legendary season one episode, Louis finds himself personally targeted by the big tough 8th graders on Scrub Day -- the dreaded day of Junior High initiations. Also, Donnie needs to pick a historical character to dress as for a "living history" school pageant. It's pretty great. I promise you, there's one thing EVERYONE remembers about this episode: THE VAT OF SLOPPY JOE!!!

Louis cheats in a kayak race at the annual family decathlon and has a guilt-ridden mental breakdown about it. That's it basically. This one marks another big gap between our lists. I have this episode at #41, whereas Ethan has it DEAD LAST at #65. We might disagree on a few things here, but I think we can all agree that Louis learns a very valuable lesson: Sometimes, ya just gotta tell your dad "It's a family picnic, bro."

(Recorded 2/22/19, a week after the premiere.)

The cast is great, the performances are solid and the KP universe ultimately translates wonderfully to live action. However, the biggest misstep here is the addition of Athena. Her existence unfortunately causes the story to fall apart. Listen to us rant about this character (among other things) and how she is essentially the very reason why the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" exists.

Our second cast and crew interview sure is a fun one! We talk with the multitalented Jim Wise, a.k.a. Coach Terry Tugnut! In addition to playing everyone's favorite insane gym teacher, he also wrote a lot of music for the series as well! He shares so many awesome things and gives us the inside scoop on the writing process for "Influenza," some super cool cast stories and, most importantly... what the heck Coach Tugnut's relationship with Donnie was all about! 

Big thanks to Jim for sitting down with us and thank you to everyone who sent in questions!! We hope yours was answered!

After a (very) extended holiday break, we are finally back in action! We're officially out of the Ehrich Van Lowe saga and kicking into true Even Stevens gear with with this memorable episode. Louis does an impromptu live news interview with the school lunch lady for The Wombat Report and it goes down in the fieriest of flames. It's legendary and the best thing that happens here. It's probably one of the best things to ever happen in the entire series, honestly. Listen to us laugh hysterically about it and other wonderfully bizarre things like trying to pursue a yodeling career in Sacramento, California USA. 

While there are a few clunky/on-the-nose jokes and the back half of the episode isn't as strong as the front, there's still a lot to like here! We're on pretty even ground with our rankings once again! 

We also make use of our own Wombat News segment because Shia's childhood memoir movie "Honey Boy" finally premiered at Sundance Film Festival and, amazingly, everyone loves it. Yay!

A celebration is in order because we're finally wrapping up the first 6 episodes, otherwise known as The Ehrich Van Lowe Saga! Yay! Louis whacks One-off Character Number 4, low level local celebrity on campus Blake Thompson, in the face while doing less-than-stellar Marlon Brando impressions. One thing leads to another and Louis ends up saving Blake from almost choking to death on a piece of steak. Louis' popularity skyrockets after becoming the school hero, but his constant craving for approval quickly starts to negatively affect his friendship with Twitty and Tawny. Meanwhile, Larry Beale is weirdly in love with Ren Stevens we guess??? We talk all about the strange relationship that never came to be.

This episode is actually much deeper than we realized and we were both pleasantly surprised upon rewatching it! Could it be the best of these first 6?!

Neither of us really like this episode. It's at the bottom of both of our lists. Discussing the episode, however, somehow resulted in nonstop laughter! Here, we meet Ren's new placeholder BFF Charlotte. Charlotte's previous BFF Yvette (a.k.a. One-off Character Number 3) visits Sacramento and things go downhill from there. This is probably the cheesiest episode of Even Stevens. Ever. Of all time. It's bizarre! It's cringy! It equates Brown University to your local Brown Middle School! It's only partially saved by a decent subplot involving Louis and Tawny, but even they can't totally keep this one from falling nearly as flat as a pancake. 

Has anyone ever told you that you're allowed to have more than one best friend? If you don't know, now ya know.

So far, I've never laughed harder while editing a podcast. This one is fun.
