August 17, 2021 52: What Are the Most Essential School Supplies?
Hello listeners, welcome to our back to school special! Our podcast over-indexes with educators so we're currently back in the midst of back to school season. That got us thinking - if we drafted school supplies, what combo would work the best if you couldn't use anything else for your entire academic career? So we decided to settle it by doing just that! Returning guest Holly joins us and we each take five supplies - if you draft something, you get an unlimited amount of that item but nothing else, and the only electronic we allowed was a calculator. Listen in, let us know what you think of our combos and don't forget to vote on the winner with the links below!

July 27, 2021 49: What Are the Best Conan O'Brien Remote Segments?
Hello everybody! A few weeks ago the tallest and longest running late night host hung up his microphone for good (to go off and do a different type of show.) It's the last passing of the torch to the new crop of hosts and for those of us who grew up watching Late Night it's not a torch we wanted passed, damnit. But in this episode we're looking back on Conan's career and celebrating it by drafting the late night staple that Conan mastered and innovated above all else: the remote segment. What goes into making the best remote segment? In what era did Conan have our most favorites? How many Jordan Schlansky remotes make the cut? Listen in and find out!

Hello listeners! We're back from a week off to celebrate the opening of the Tokyo Summer Olympics (or, at least, what's left of it after pandemic safety protocols.) This year some new sports like surfing and sport climbing have been added to the Olympic slate, but that got us thinking about what other sports we'd like to see featured. So we're each drafting 5 new sports and giving our pitch for why you should want to watch the best athletes in the world competing in them. What makes a good Olympic sport? What would be the biggest draws for fans? Listen in, and don't forget to vote for the team of sports you'd be most excited for!
