Episode 73: World Series, Falling Down, Sandwiches, Alfalfa, Halloween Films

Brett Baker — Fri, 29 Oct 2021 02:00:00 -0600

What wins games, desire or production? Brett is feeling like Michael Douglas, and Brian invents Rex. White Hen buildings are unique, and there's a hierarchy of sandwiches. Alfalfa is underappreciated. Brett's watching a bunch of Halloween movies, but what counts as a Christmas movie? Are there any Thanksgiving movies? Heartbreaking Lang Ice news.

Brett Baker — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 00:15:00 -0600

Episode 71: Jeffrey Toobin, Back injuries, Patti Smith, R.E.M., Bret Michaels, Monk, Chevy Citation

Brett Baker — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Jeffrey Toobin made some bad zoom decisions. Johnny Carson smoked under a desk, and Jim Leyland smoked in the dugout. Clayton Kershaw is the best, back injuries suck, and where are the new fast food restaurants? Brewfest is so much fun, Brett can’t get into Patti Smith, but loves R.E.M. Bret Michaels is jealous, and R.E.M. doesn’t like Shiny Happy People. Monk is better than you think, and Randy Newman is great. Chevy Citation is like time travel.

Episode 70: Mouth burning, NBA futility, Yan Can Cook, He-Man, Hubie Halloween, Eddie Van Halen

Brett Baker — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett can’t handle eating hot things, all fish is frozen, and Calumet Fisheries is delicious. The guys didn’t watch the NBA finals, which are a joke, and NYC doesn’t claim the Islanders. Brett’s dad had Cubs license plate, and Phoenix is really hot. The Redskins suck, Yan Can Cook is awesome. He-Man is childhood personified, and Moss Man brings back memories, too. Eddie van Halen could play.

Episode 69: Eating Fish, Burger Styles, George Motz, Drinking Coffee, Expensive Fast Food, Brian’s Musical Revelation

Brett Baker — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett rediscovers a food he forgot about, which makes him want to discover more foods. Hamburgers are good, and can be done a million different ways. Brian watches a burger guy named George Motz on YouTube, who may have one of the coolest careers ever. Brett has fast food complaints, and Brian’s raging about thousand island dressing. Nutrigrain bars have shrunk, Comcast commercials are annoying and hypocritical, and Brian has a musical revelation that may add a new artist to his playlist.

Brett ate a pizza puff for the first time in decades and isn’t happy with the results. Then he forgot to order at McDonald’s. Brian’s not going to be bullied into wearing pants, and Brett’s obsessed with the thermostat. Brian thinks young people used to look older than they were, and wants to know if we’ll ever dress like old men. Where did table etiquette come from? Why is Brian obsessed with watching people at dinner? What’s the best way to cut a sandwich, and what happens to all of those dead animals? Brian has YouTube animal video recommendations.

Episode 67: Peanut Butter, Fried Chicken, Food Adventures, Screws, Sports Impatience, Tennis Dominance

Brett Baker — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett went back to work for a couple of hours, hated his commute, and didn’t see any lazy mice. Brian has no peanut butter loyalty, and Brett has conquered his PB&J addiction. Fried chicken is good even if the woman behind the counter smokes. Brett stood in line with his son for donuts, and Brian stood in line with his brother for hot dogs. Brett annoyed a scam caller by pretending to be a screwdriver. Ever hear of the Robertson screw? Brian doesn’t have time to watch sports, but hopes it’s a phase. Dominant tennis players.

Episode 66: Shifting Seasons, Pearl Jam Social Issues, Separating Art and Artists, Tom Cruise, Johnny Cash, Song Lyrics

Brett Baker — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Feels like the seasons are shifting, scorched grass looks great, and Brian went to a cold Pearl Jam show. Lots of music talk: Pearl Jam social issues, Ted Nugent, Glenn Danzig, Rick Rubin, and the best song lyric ever written. Brian can’t get past Tom Cruise’s weirdness, but has an x-rated suggestion for his next movie title. Johnny Cash is great, and who know there was a Field of Dreams 2?

Episode 65: Chalk, Snotty Handkerchief, Airbnb, Syrup Pee, Eating Humans, David Hasselhoff, Mick Jagger

Brett Baker — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

College math professors have a clear chalk preference, Grandsons of baseball players we remember are getting drafted. Brian is an Airbnb fan, and sometimes does disturbing things within. Reviewing rejected topics brings us to reusing handkerchiefs, does syrup smell like pee? and when should we decide to eat another person? Brian likes David Hasselhoff, Art Alexakis likes “Yeah” and Mark McGrath does music sometimes. Mick Jagger has a younger girlfriend, George C Scott is intense, and Brian renamed a river.

Episode 64: Lost Summer, Death Valley, Bed Bugs, Shellfish, Smoking Chefs, Smize, Unwritten Rules

Brett Baker — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Does it feel like a lost summer, and is it a good time to stay in a hotel? Brett wants to go to Death Valley to feel the heat, bed bugs are gross, and a spider is set to take over Brett’s house. Brian wants to work with his hands, when are shellfish going to disappear, and why do chefs smoke? Baseball stats are problematic, and unwritten rules are stupid.

Episode 63: Raw vegetables, Connecting Flights, Hoses, Legit Facebook Pictures, Lost Summer, Harry Caray, Purging Household Items

Brett Baker — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

What vegetables are good raw versus cooked? Something stunk at Brian’s work. Brett used mushrooms as a punishment. Maine is the way life ought to be. Brian refuses all connecting flights. Firefighters broke a BMW window, and kinky hoses anger Brian. Is anything on Facebook real? Facebook can make us feel better about ourselves. Summer doesn’t feel lost. Brett might try for a coatless year. Brian watched a Harry Caray documentary, and what don’t we need in our houses?

Episode 62: Meteor shower, Elvis and Babe, Famous encounters, Sons and fathers, Baseball cardboard cutouts, mangoes

Brett Baker — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett thought he saw Danny Aiello, but didn’t. Brian had a couple of awesome famous encounters. Brett’s aren’t as awesome. Brian’s a Gwyneth hater. Brett’s son is becoming more athletic than him, but Brett’s still faster. Cardboard cutouts are filling MLB stands. Some fans are going to Wrigley Rooftops. Brian and Brett split on mangoes.

Brett Baker — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Sports talk radio has had plenty to say even without any sports. Brian isn’t impressed by Dave Kaplan, and Rachel Ray’s house caught fire. A census guy tracked down Brett, and he chatted him up. Kids these days will have thousands of pictures forever. Brett’s considering picking up a coffee habit. Kamala the wrestler and Kamala the Senator are two different people, but both are awesome. So is Ric Flair. And the Ultimate Warrior. And Macho Man. Tons of dead wrestlers, too. Are Zoom backgrounds a competition?

Episode 60: Artichokes, .net, Tasting Science, Parent teachers, Shopping cart handle weapons, Tomatoes

Brett Baker — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

School is starting earlier, and that's not cool. Artichokes are hard to cook, and hard to eat. All animal skin tastes good. Maybe even Brett cracklings. Anyone who uses .net is not to be trusted. We're going to take Lang Ice international. Careless scientists discovered saccharin, and Brian's killing himself with barrel aged alcohol. Parents have to teach their kids, Brian made a shopping cart handle into a weapon, and tomatoes are tasty.

Episode 59: Optimism, Wilford Brimley, Fiona Apple, Cover songs, Baseball umpires

Brett Baker — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett saw an optimist looking for a lottery ticket, and tells a story of an honest kid getting his money back. Wilford Brimley died and Brian thinks Cocoon might have been real for him. Dick Van Dyke is happy about his wife, and Leonardo DiCaprio was always going to be a star. Fiona Apple has a great new album, and Brett tells a story about forgetting about her concert. Needless song covers annoy Brett, but Brian is a fan of covers. Brett can't believe anyone ever liked The Smiths. Are doctors ever high when operating? And baseball umpires have mad skills.

Episode 58: Rabies, Johnny Depp, Clown Kidnapping, Unsolved Mysteries (again), Talking to yourself, The Savage

Brett Baker — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett saw a raccoon eating garbage during the day, and the guys were scared of rabies when they were kids. A race horse was sent to a pet food factory in Japan. Horses have too much muscle to taste good. Is Johnny Depp becoming Jack Sparrow? 21 Jumpstreet taught Brian that cheese has a lot of protein. A clown tried to kidnap Brett when he was a kid. Brian felt unwanted by kidnappers. Robert Stack’s voice is awesome. Crime Junkies isn’t original reporting, but it’s still good. Brett talks to himself a lot. Brian worked with a guy who talked to himself in the bathroom stall, and also had a mystery poop leaver called The Savage

Episode 57: Weeds, Lemon Trees, Sugar Death, Funeral Cheese, Pig Face, New Unsolved Mysteries

Brett Baker — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brett can’t tell the difference between a weed and a plant, the guys need to go to botany class. Brett signed up for a happiness class through Yale, and Harvard’s not a big deal. A lemon tree in the house will make it feel like summer all year. Brett’s eating too much cake. How much sugar is deadly? Brian is never too grossed out to eat. A Swiss village made cheese to save for their own funerals. Brian’s watching a YouTube kid make a pig’s face and wants him to wear it. Brian watched the new Unsolved Mysteries and is having none of it! The old Unsolved Mysteries are so scary Brian doesn’t want to watch them late at night.

Episode 56: Baby rabbits, Song memory, Don Rickles, David Crosby, Alexa sucks, Autumn sucks, too

Brett Baker — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Brian and Brett both saw rabbits in their yards, Brett knows all the words to Glycerine, and Oasis makes him sad. Brian remembers old Led Zeppelin, but avoids Jewel, and he thinks Gavin Rossdale is a fraud. Rodney Dangerfield was one of the best, so was Don Rickles. Brett wants to get David Crosby on the podcast, and and doesn’t know who Bea Miller is. Alexa never listens despite always listening, and people who love fall can hold their horses. Soap tries to fool Brett, but he’s too swift for that bullshit

Episode 55: Muchacho, Rabbits, Rotisserie chickens, Frog legs, Worthless pennies, Idiot check writers

Brett Baker — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Technical difficulties resulted in a shortened episode. Before everything went to crap the guys talk about Brian’s expanding language knowledge, the art of killing a rabbit and butchering other animals, and why Brett and his kids can’t stop eating rotisserie chickens. Frog legs are good, eels are ugly, but cows are no prize either. An old man picked up some pennies, Brian used to throw them away, and check writers suck. So do phone payers.

Episode 54: Cheap good beer, Coin shortage, Carpeted bathrooms, Brownies, Cicadas, Supermarket Sweep, Macho Man

Brett Baker — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Not all cheap beers are gross. Why is there a coin shortage, or is it a conspiracy? Strip clubs needs Coinstar machines, and Demi Moore’s bathroom is carpeted (not a euphemism!). Spongy toilet seats are gross, but custom-fit ones would be awesome. Special K with red berries used to have raspberries, Brett made brownies. Brett’s Summer list still has a ways to go, cicadas are wonderful, and Supermarket Sweep is on Netflix. So is Jeopardy, and the guys want to know if they’ve become smarter. Macho Man gives great interviews, but tons of wrestlers are dead!

Episode 53: Neowise, Halley’s comet, Evel Knievel, Kanye West, Air conditioning, Chernobyl, Challenger

Brett Baker — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Neowise comet survived passing the sun, and can now be seen from earth. Halley’s comet came in 1986, and Mark Twain may have been riding on it. Humans will kill each other before a meteor does. Evel Knievel was a badass, and should have made some money from putting his body on the line. Kanye West is running for president, sort of. Air conditioning is a comfort we don’t want to do without. Stay away from Chernobyl, and they should have postponed the Challenger.

Episode 52: Haunted butter, Ant invasions, Aquanet, Cowboy hats, Into the Wild Bus, Mary Kay Letourneau

Brett Baker — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Dave joins the guys as a special guest. He’s done some acting work. Ants and ghosts are invading Brett’s house, Dave suggests a ghost trap, and bug spray sent Brian to urgent care. Aquanet destroyed the ozone, but saved Brian’s high school hair, and made Dave’s bathroom door flammable. Brett smashed Dave’s truck with a hammer, but luckily Dave doesn’t remember. Dave helped bankrupt Sears, but won’t wear a cowboy hat. The Into the Wild bus has been moved, and Brian has questions about JFK’s assassination limo. Dave has construction horror stories, and Mary Kay Letourneau died. Plus a whole lot of Texas.

Brett Baker — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Jigsaw puzzles are seeing a resurgence during covid, and has overtaken Brett’s kitchen table. Was Ty Cobb a bad guy? Why are the Mets still paying Bobby Bonilla?

Brett Baker — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Some people still refuse to wear masks, the Greatest Generation laughs at them, and bunkers don’t last forever. Punkass white kid needs to be punched, as do a unc of other people Cheers is disappearing from Netflix, Dwight Gooden like cocaine, and the 1986 mets were head and shoulders above everyone. Summer stuff is going clearance

Brett Baker — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 02:00:00 -0600

After taking a break the guys are back with a new episode featuring someone who brags about tithing, radish and butter sandwiches, and mashed potatoes that will cause a heart attack. Knot tying is fun, magnifying glasses can start fires, and Brett and Brian built a bomb without killing themselves. Gremlins caused some problems, and created a new movie rating which didn’t make sense, don’t put Brett in charge of fighting Gremlins, Jaws is awesome, Chuck Norris is Lonewolf McQuade, Brian doesn’t know what hedge means, and Brian could have saved David Carradine and Michael Hutchence

Episode 48: Tornado, Dust Devil, Helen Hunt, Hollywood, Freaks and Geeks, Covid fun, Gin Scammers

Brett Baker — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Thunderstorm fun, Twister is a fun movie, and what happened to Helen Hunt?

Lightning is farther away than you think, Ted Fujita was a tornadic badass, Brett had to pickup a rogue face mask. Bakers fall out of cars, Runts are dangerous, and Ferrara Pan candy is the best. Brian wants weiners in his mouth at baseball games, Homerun Inn Pizza is great, so is a honey swirl. Mixed up Diet Dr Pepper, poisonous Tylenol, Ferris Bueller, Frugal Gourmet, and Bert Kreischer. Also, drink champagne while cutting hedges, but don’t stick your finger in the hedge trimmer (like Brett).

Brett Baker — Sun, 31 May 2020 02:00:00 -0600

“George Lucas” taught Brett a lesson, Jeeps aren’t mid-life crisis cars, who buys truck balls? Are street sweepers obsolete? Brett felt like someone was watching him when he was falling asleep. Weird Al is surprised anyone knows him, Clint Eastwood likes younger women, and Brian may go 80. Cliff Clavin always seemed old, and the George Wendt – Jason Sudeikis connection

Brett Baker — Thu, 28 May 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Is Brian’s liquor inventory impressive or worrisome? Summer is beginning, which means Brian swings golf clubs outside at midnight.

Dean Cameron joins Brett and Brian for a conversation about a movie he doesn’t like, a woman that can smell Parkinson’s, a doctor that evaporated urine, and why old school doctors sucked. Superfoods don’t deserve the hype, Dean disses beets, but endorses whiskey and IPAs. He also shares great stories about the guys from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Stevie Wonder, when his car got stolen, and how he played matchmaker for a couple of co-stars. An episode so good, not even technical difficulties could screw it up!

Brett Baker — Mon, 18 May 2020 02:00:00 -0600

An old guy cut in front of Brett at the grocery store, Back to the Future is greatness, Indiana Jones has some scary parts, and the mid 80s were a great time for movies. Wite Out sales are surging, don’t forget about Mike Nesmith’s mom, and 14-year-old Brett was obsessed with Ami Dolenz. Dean Cameron should be a star. Fasting has unknown benefits in addition to losing weight, Brian lives by cost-benefit analysis, but Brett needs to understand it better. Scotch has alcohol in it, and Brett’s kids stay up too late. Oh, you should watch Summer School!
