The boys are back in their respective studios to break down the 2021 March Madness Bracket! I can't believe it's been 2 years since we've had a March Madness and I hope we never have to skip a year again.

West Bracket: 15:15ish

East Bracket: 23:30ish

South Bracket: 31:00ish

Midwest Bracket: 40:00ish

10 team parlay: somewhere around 52:20

Thanks for listening!

As promised during our first episode back, we have cobbled together 16 of the best casual dining restaurant chains for a bracket! No self-serve or buffets, they must have a wait staff, nothing 24-hour and the basic criteria: if it was late at night and you had to stop for food and these were the only 2 options, which would you choose?

A rough timestamp:

Mel-s Drive In vs Hooters (8:00)

BWW vs Bennigans (18:00)

Olive Garden vs Red Lobster (25:00)

Red Robin vs PF Changs (31:00)

TGIFridays vs Applebee's (37:00)

BJs vs Outback Steakhouse (45:00)

Chevy's vs Cheesecake Factory (51:00)

Islands vs Chili's (58:00)

FF and Finals (104:00ish)

To be honest, those timestamps are such guesses. If anybody mentions this line at all I'll keep track of them better during the next pod.

Thanks for listening!

Hello, it's us. We are back for one of our favorite pods to do - the Super Bowl pod! As had been tradition in the past, we went over an hour so time breaks below if you want to jump around:

0:00-10:00ish - SB plans, favorite SB food, we shoot the shit.

10:00-32ish - Intern Eric drop his 3 favorite NarrativEs going into the Super Bowl, do yourself a favor and listen to some RayJ songs first

32:00-58ish - We each break down our 3 favorite props for the game handing out bronze/silver/golds in order of confidence.

58-The End - who doesn't love a good outro.

Thanks for listening, or just clicking the Play button and letting it run, and we'll see you soon for our fast-casual restaurant bracket!

After a 2 year hiatus, the Fired Up pod is back! Using a similar structure to our most recent pods we broke down 8 different potential 'pod topics' and argued our way down to a single topic that will be the first full-length 16-team bracket for us to breakdown in February. Please excuse as we dust off the rust.

First round matchups:

Fast Casual Restaurants vs Serial Killers (10:00ish - no idea)

Theme Park Things vs Cartoons (16:50 maybe?)

TV Game Shows vs Cults (23:00 or thereabouts)

Big Mouth Characters vs Drinking Games (27:00)

Excited to be back and next up is our Fired Up Super Bowl pod next week!

The boys are finally back in town and to celebrate December we talked our way through 8 of the best Christmas Movies out there and then cleaned up with a little NBA. We spent the first 10 minutes talking about movies that didn't make the cut before diving in..

First round:

It's a Wonderful Life vs Love Actually (10:30ish)

Elf vs The Santa Clause (17:00ish maybe)

Home Alone vs A Christmas Story (23:00?!)

Christmas Vacation vs Jingle All The Way (31:00)

Then, we battled through the Final Four until we had a winner. Finally, we discussed the NBA (42:00 or so) including the LeBron/Wade tribute, the Warriors, and the NBA Christmas Day Slate.

The boys are back with a few special guests joining throughout the hour to celebrate the one and only JD Vancho. We didn't even build a bracket. We prepared some questions and made him talk all about himself, which people know he doesn't like, and we made it all about him. It was glorious. A wonderful surprise at (42:30) as we surprised him with a Final Four of whiskeys and toasted to his pending nuptials. This episode was definitely a circle jerk for JD, but that's just how it goes sometimes. Well deserved, my friend!

As always, thank for listening.
