Why Yes, We're Friends

Brendon and Ronnie jaw about the unserious language of baseball lingo, and appreciate the writers and announcers who have shaped it over the years. Then they play a game inspired by the many weird names of California cities. Along the way, Brendon goes deuces wild telling everyone his favorite Vin Scully call, and throws his son figurative and literal curveballs. Meanwhile, Ronnie talks smack about West Coast diner culture, and reveals he's played way too much of the Grand Theft Auto series. Grab some pine, keep your mind open like a Coco Crisp batting stance, and enjoy the show!

Brendon and Ronnie stumble into another 2-parter as they continue talking baseball movies. Brendon finishes out the Kevin Costner Universe of baseball films, weighs in on who the bigger dirtbag coach is between Walter Matthau and Billy Bob Thornton, and asks the hard-hitting questions like, "Who's Clippy?" Ronnie reminds everyone of Angels in the Outfield (when no one was asking), turns the discussion about 42 into a discussion about the Fast and Furious franchise, and does a couple of weird impressions. They both expose themselves for the elder millennials they are by unearthing memories of infomercials and finish by Talkin' Softball (Mattingly and Canseco).

Brendon and Ronnie start a conversation about favorite baseball movies, and follow a wide array of tangents along the way. So wide one might describe them as, "Juuuust a bit outside." -- Tales of growing up in a city with minor league baseball, rain delays in Los Angeles, and how the rising generation of WNBA players look scary good. Brendon reveals that his neighborhood had a "Benny the Jet," Ronnie swears to Freddie Prinze Jr. that he's seen Summer Catch, and they both realize that Kevin Costner is in a lot of baseball flicks...

Brendon and Ronnie have TWO WORDS FOR YOU, and then so, so many more about professional wrestling. Ronnie compares WWE to the Vans Warped Tour, tries to review WrestleMania 40 (but really only talks about four matches), and gets deep about physical storytelling. Brendon gets a crash course in AEW, goes on a James Earl Jones-fueled tangent and teaches everyone about ancient Greco Roman wrestling rules. Finally, find out which one of the guys is the babyface of Why Yes, We're Friends, and which is the heel.

Brendon and Ronnie cleanse the palette after their previous, nerdy episode. With FOOD! Brendon discusses the challenges involved with cooking for different allergies and diets (often at the same time), Ronnie gets deep talking about food as a love language, and they both reveal what they'd whip up to beat Bobby Flay. This episode runs the gamut talking about making dishes for themed moments, how food bonds us through nostalgia, and perhaps unearthing lore about a famous YouTube chef.

Brendon and Ronnie hook onto the clickbait of a column from The Athletic. Listen as they get nerdy and go down Stephen J. Nesbitt's MLB franchise rankings. (Based on an unfeeling mathematical system.) Where does your favorite team rank, and why? And along the way, discover the most savage (relatively non-violent) thing Ronnie has seen at a Dodgers game, and the terrible timing Brendon has with the Giants, and moving from and back to Northern California.

Brendon and Ronnie culminate their two-part discussion about the various logos and uniform sets of sports teams. This time around they escape from a shallow grave to pluck the eyes of NBA logos past and present. And then they travel to a remote location to give the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique to many of the NFL's logos. Seriously, though, you should stop what you're doing to do some Google Image searches with us!

Brendon and Ronnie begin a two-part discussion about the various logos and uniform sets of sports teams. This time around, they scratch the surfaces of Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League; the past, the present, the weird, and the cartoony! So pull the car over and start some Google Image searches for this first part. We beg you!

Brendon and Ronnie woke up and chose violence. (And recorded it!) In this episode, they discuss and debate which teams of the Big 4 American sports leagues are the Yankees of their leagues. Is this about prestige and championships? Rich ownership and media attention? Straight-up personal biases? Whatever logic they use, you can probably bank on who one the Yankees of the MLB are...

Brendon and Ronnie (finally) get into their discussion about the Nintendo Wii with personal tales of the good, the bad, and the weird of the system's game catalog. Fear not! They also stumble upon a number of side quests like strange Super Bowl halftime events other channels used to show, social commentaries hidden in Final Fantasy games, and one of Ronnie's personal life goals.
