Welcome back! Love is in the air (or at least it was a month ago), so the boys are talking romance, breakups, and Valentine’s Day. Using their completely unbiased assessment and the unmatched Taco Bell sauce system (the TBSS), they’re rating some of the most iconic romances in pop culture (Red and Kitty foreveeeeeer). They’re also looking back at the Valentines of old, experiences in romance, and both of their partners make snide uninvited comments from across the room. Chris might still be in a relationship with his elementary school girlfriend and Mario plays out a scenario where all of his grandparents are murdered. We’ll be right back!

Welcome back! Friendship is a beautiful and amazing and complicated and painful thing. Using our completely unbiased assessment and the unmatched Taco Bell sauce system, we’re rating some of the most iconic friendships in pop culture (JD and Turk win by the way). We’re also looking back at the most influential friendships in our lives from way back and more recently. Chris is the ultimate friend matchmaker and Mario doesn’t eat boogers because of the texture. We'll be right back!
