People never talked about the 1900’s version of the 'teens when we were kids. Heard about 20’s -70’s - lived through the 80’s and 90’s and then came the ‘Aughts which we called the 2000s, and we never really switched to the “teens” for these past ten years. We called the the 2010’s — which is fine - but the past 7 years were the teens.

Fake Band Name Speed Round

Questions I can answer ‘yes” or “no” with a Ding.

Do you miss drinking a pot of coffee a day?

Do you find it difficult to not talk out loud to yourself?

Do you wish you’d paid more attention to American Sign Language in the 6th grade at Johnson Middle School?

Is it true that your cousin is Bob Piano of Axis Mundi Records?

Should people go download his music on Spotify ASAP?

Were you shocked to find out that the thing that Bob Piano and Cindy Harrington have most in common is an incredibly passionate interest in 90 Day Fiancee?

Can we do a deep dive podcast on that show co-hosted by Cindy Harrington and Bob Piano?

Cards against humanity style answers to questions - Gavin can only use phrases he’s already used to answer the following questions:

What is the recurring joke in Mike Birbiglia’s Netflix special the new one? (I saved your best friend’s life)

What’s the first thing you thought of the day after surgery? (Am I allowed to Drive today?)

What’s the second thing you thought of? (Want me to go to Trader Joe’s?)

Southern Charm Season 6 - Episodes 1-3 Breakdown Show - Low Country Boil

Southern Charm season 6 

Places listening The Philippines, Spain, UK, Australia, Pakistan, Canada, Brunei Darussalam, Finland & South Africa 

My biggest issue is that I can’t fast forward on demand 

Episode 1

People love Craig now - he has a personal assistant for essentially being Craig - he also found his “groove by going to the Bahamas” 

People don’t like Shep anymore - why? 

Kathryn and Whitney are a thing again

Eliza? who cares?

Austen stinks/ Madison stinks

Chelsea is a super star

Naomi is a thirsty B - it’s confirmed 

Speaking of thirsty people - Why is Ashley coming back 

Episode 2 

Cameron and Eliza get pedicures — Eliza is the most annoying i know. Cam tries to talk sense into Eliza - it goes poorly. She’s tone deaf and I dislike her.

Limhouse is her last name - she calls herself “Charleston Royalty” - but then her Dad had an affair and now she’s not invited to anything anymore - so you’re not royalty if you’re not allowed to “debut” at a Debutant ball.

Kathryn moves into a $6,600 a month rental home “south of broad” charleston. Bravo is paying for this correct? 

So Austen and Kathryn talk about Madison 

Craig "I just need someone to nag me that’s not my girlfriend”

I hate the Naomie has Gizmo — that’s my biggest problem with her.   

Shep and Danni have lunch - they talk about Madison and Austen - to get that viral video from last season’s fiasco back on tv.

Danni is dating a guys named Gentry. 

I continue to be blown away by the commercials I’m exposed to when watching this 1 bravo show - Delta Shower head - dude w/ being dancing in the shower.

Chelsea’s interior designer Kim comes by - and Chelsea fixed her own house. "I’ve finally found a man, he drives a truck, he likes to hunt, he likes to dip, and i think that’s sexy” - people who find dipping attractive is mind blowing!!!!

Cam and Naomie and Danni on a roof top bar — we all need to go there next time we’re in Charleston. 

Ashley got “Nurse of the year” award - guys she’s the worst - how can she get an award, after we’ve all seen her true colors on Season 5. 

Scott from Island Coastal Lager — makes Austen “miffed” — but then he admits that he couldn’t afford to be a brewer so put it on the back burner — he’s weak

Hammer & Nail - Red Neck Drinking game / Dizzy Bat 

Flash back to Kathryn & Thomas in Season 1 after the Whitney and Kathryn hooked up convo — Thomas was really handsome back then. 5 /6 years of partying really took it’s toll on Thomas physically  

Elvis Sighting on Chelsea’s dock — Shep reaches into a crab trap - also he has all the worst Hats

Episode 3 

Chelsea’s dad throwing some shade on Nick the Sailor’s absentee boyfriend-status - Chelsea seems to embrace the long distance relationship. 

Chelsea’s dad calls Austen a house cat. 

Cameron and her mom talk about her drinking —Cameron looks at work at a reprieve from being a mom. She doesn’t like the isolation. 

But then she does a “if something ever happened to Palmer?” - Is Cameron a mental case or what? 

Sherwin- Willams commercial that they are designing Kathryn’s living room - now it makes sense — her place is essentially being paid for by the show. which is totes cool btw - but let’s not pretend that she’s “throwing her money away on rent” - she’s making money for the show on this deal.  

Of course Craig is on the floral landscaping trip w/ Chelsea

Kathryn bought a Rolls Royce - and she’s dating a senator who’s a democrat. and he’s disgraced and there’s a lot of drama around him. So dang.

Kathryn is planning a girls trip to some tree house place - to cope w/ all of thomas’ legal issues. 

Sounds like Madison DM’d Danni’s boyfriend Gentry — YIKES! Shep’s line “Brother you are getting cuckolded” - Double Yikes. 

At this point the original cast basically just talk dirt about other folks to keep stuff interesting. Austen and Madison talking on film - whack-ness personified 

Will Smith as Aladdin commercial comes on — Darrah you have kids… you going to see this one? 

So NICO restaurant is in Mount Pleasant? Interesting — they’ve invited a bunch of Charleston influencers. 

Chelsea hasn’t heard from Nick in 6 days — this keep’s coming up. Are they still together in the present day? 

How about Metul getting Cameron all “a flutter”?!?!?! 

The Seafood Towers at Nico — okay i’m in - i love me a seafood tower 

Do we think the Madison reaching out to Gentry is made up for “TV Show Drama”?

Shep and Craig couldn’t be a worse duo to break bad news to somebody - two guys with very little Moxie for this type of straightforward conversation. 

How about the “Misslle shot” - red bull with a shot... shot gunning the concoction. 

Drunk phone break up - with Craig and Shep egging you on — what could possibly go wrong?

Is Austen crying — Craig, “I’m glad we have each other.” 

March Madness Picks based on where we should've gone to college

2019 March Madness 

Sampling Bud light Drafts at various bars - for best tasting ? Could that be a thing? Maybe with Natty Light? Maybe best “dollar draft/ door brew/ brick light” type beers

What to you make of Bud Light having a marketing campaign based on having ingredients on the label and not having corn syrup? Is it genius or desperate? 


Fake band name of the week: Fajita Theory

United Kingdom 2nd place, Angola #3, Australia, Canada and Philippines  

Lukewarm NIT Takes 

It’s kind of like a nice “going away party” or like the brunch the day after a wedding. You weren’t sure if you we even going to go, but you did and had a fun time seeing everybody one more time before finally having things end. 

Great vibe, an appreciative vibe during pregame, etc

Negative - you can’t do any “canned music” or sponsor promos that get the fans excited. 

I get not allowing the home team intro, I get letting both teams Spirit teams perform, etc. - but in this day & age of dwindling attendance and tepid interest in the NIT at best… wouldn’t a dance cam, or a bevy for free t-shirts being tossed into the crowd, or a free pizza delivery help spice stuff up. 

More importantly, they only allow pep band music. Can’t mix it up with any recorded tracks over the PA. Which takes away 1) the entire Jock Jams catalog. 2) Sandstorm and Zombie Nation techno-fests 3) And pretty much any hit song from the past 5 years. 

Picking a national title based on where I should have actually gone to college. 

Can the Philadelphia Eagles repeat? Mid-term Mania. This Red Sox Parade was more than just Duck Boats!

Was 2018 the first “eff you parade” in Boston sports history? 

Seems like that attitude was pure jubilation and feeling bullet proof as a fanbase. 

Price has his eff you parade for towards then fans. 

The Boston sports fans had theirs towards the philly fans for stealing a super bowl.  

This title was a collective realization that even if Tom Brady is never gonna win another and even if the pats go back to being bad... Boston fans just realized - as long as the Sox have good ownership and tons of 💰- we have a franchise that’s won 4 titles in 15 seasons with 3 diff managers... dozens of different players. Hockey is super random. And Boston Celtics aren depended on outsmarting opponents because it’s tough for them  to get free agents. But the Sox - they can miss and take years off and hit bottom, but they’ll always get it right a couple times a decade

The Sox were our city’s first love and are now our best hope to keep the party going once the pats dynasty is no more 

places listening - Turkey, Ireland, UK, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Philippines, Slovakia, Germany, Brazil, British Indian Ocean Territory & More 

Philadelphia Eagles What’s the mood right now at 4-4? 

Is getting each team’s best shot week after week what you expected? 

What’s the feeling for the next 8 games? Home & Away vs Cowboys and Skins, at Saints, at Rams, Home Giants, Home Texans

What’s the city’s feelings on your QB situation? 

Can your guys go on the road and get Saints or Rams? What about winning on road in playoffs? 

How was the raising of the banner on the first game of the year? 

Are people still basking in that Super Bowl win or are fans finally more focused on this seasons results? I felt like after Pats first title - i dealt with their 9-7 season in a way of saying well we’re still the champs until the super bowl… i’ve since stopped feeling that way about title teams. 

MID-TERMS!?!?!!? Any hot takes 

Most Overrated Bands of all-time (prep show)

Most overrated bands/performers of all time

places listening: Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Canada, UK, UAE, Russia (high vladimir), France, Ireland, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Iran, New Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago.

top cities: Ashburn, VA, Seattle, WA, Charlotte, Alingaro Philippines, Dubai, Brisbane, Montreal, Karang Indonesia, Auckland NZ, Carmona Philippines, Monterrey MX and plenty more 

Red Zone Channel is marvelous — there’s no game I’d rather watch on it’s own, instead of watching 7 hours of the Red Zone channel passively. 

Tom Coughlin owns Bill Belicheck like Matt Damon owned Teddy KGB in Rounders.

Rap beef with Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly ( Mac Miller // unfortunate comments made about his demise and a rap beef from Curtis Fingers)

Post Malone, G Easy

people essentially have come in at different periods and ruined genres of music — jazz, the blues, disco (bee gees, are we finally at a point in hip-hop, in which the next generation of performers go to a different genre?

Inherently every overrated artist is classified as “pop” - because you really can’t be overrated if nobody collectively knows who you are. Is that fair? 

So, i’m not sure we need a pop category — but i think 4 quadrants of music are worth placing people in

The Foo fighters are properly rated — I had them as slightly overrated, then saw them live and realized they are so great live that i had underrated them — i think they’re properly rated.

Legends = Includes Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Singer Song writer, Etc:  Pre 1991

The Doors, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, The Ramones, Pink Floyd, Eagles

Can we quickly discuss the hot take cindy harrington had, related to your disdain for Bruce Springsteen

Steve Perry alledgedly has a new song — I’m shocked and amazed at this news 

Alt Rock and Newer Rock

Stone Temple Pilots are overrated but Scott Weiland is either properly rated or under rated 

What’s your thought on Sublime / Bradley Nowell ? Properly rated

Blink 182? 

Radiohead

U2

Bob Dylan

Hip Hop

Pitbull (as an entertainer maybe not, as a rapper… yup)

Warren G

Kanye? (Not as a producer)

Soulja Boy 

Akon - was replaced in like 20 mins 

Lil Wayne, Beastie Boys??? That’s a hot take! 

Country / Boy Bands / Teen Sensations / Etc 

Britney Spears, N’Sync (Here’s my hot take on this one, no Justin Timberlake, that band would have been less successful than 98 degrees and O-Town. Amy Winehouse, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith  

Rosco’s list - Dr. Dre. / Mary J Blige 

1992-2015 — anything in 2016 -now is too in flux in my opinion.

First off their are also songs by Artists with Dog based names. Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Lil Bow Wow

Regulators by Nate Dogg and Warren G is about Nate Dogg and Warren G’s adventures around town one night. 

Doggy Dogg World and Who am I (what’s my name)? By Snoop Dogg are songs by snoop about snoop

There’s a song called Puppy love featuring Snoop and Nate Dogg - but that’s probably overkill

Feels like DMX needs to be on this list - also apparently loves Godsmack and requesting his ow songs

Outlandish theory - My best friend’s girl - by the Cars — if a dog is man’s best friend… could be a song written from a Dog’s point of view. 

Dr. Dre’s Next Episode features both Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg— and it might be a top 5 “pop rap” song of all-time. And it’s all boosted by one of the most memorable closing lines of all time from Nate Dogg - “hold up…. HEY!” to “Hey hey hey hey … Smoke … everyday “

Clearly Trump being elected 2 weeks prior to the end of season one, and everything associated with Trump since that time could take up spots 1-200 on this list — but let’s try and keep this as trump free as possible

The women’s march in Washington, which in some ways can be viewed as significant factor in the #MeToo movement

The Patriots have won a super bowl in Dramatic Fashion and Lost a Super Bow in Dramatic fashion - to the Eagles who’d never won one before

We had the Oscars’ best picture of 2017 mix-up with Moonlight belatedly winning after Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway messed up the announcement and said the wrong film first

United Airlines went viral for dragging a passenger off of a plane — somehow making every other airline look much better by comparison

We had a congressman - Steve Scalise - shot at a baseball practice for a congressional baseball game - which is very scary stuff

White Nationalism at Charlottesville ripped open longtime wounds and shined a spotlight on how emboldened racists and racist nationalism have become

Hurricane’s wreaked Havoc on Houston and in Florida but most notably destroying a modern day way of life in Puerto Rico - a way of life “electricity and fresh water” that is still not fully back on the island for its citizens

Floyd mayweather and Conor McGregor finally have a boxing match / 8 months later Conor gets arrested for crashing a ufc pay per view and assaulting fellow fighters and attacking a bus

The Las Vegas concert shooting - nuff said

What’s w people saying you’re fine when you say “excuse me”.  I think Fine is an weird word. 

Izmir Turkey most listens this week - love it. Izmir seems fantastic btw (like as a place in the world)

Ashburn, VA creeping back into listening charts

Props to Norway, Chile, India, Romania, Kazakhstan and Sweden for listening

Litter pick up on exit 28 at 8:45am on a Friday. you can’t wait til 9:30 for that crap ?!?

Best thing about papa johns ditching the nfl is the dramatic lessening of Peyton Manning appearing with papa johns founder John Schnatter 

Also, Pizza Hut slicing into the official pizza of the nfl within about 15 minutes of papa johns vacating it - shows you how strong the nfl brand is

Stock market has taken a dive recently and tariffs on aluminum and steel are a major factor thus far. 

This is where being a populist America first leader veers wildly from many republicans- you mess with their money- that’s a problem. Greed is a much stronger factor than xenophobia- rich Americans want to stay rich

Basketball sneakers that look like timberland work boots - dude on Purdue wore em today. I’m at once in favor of the look and also think it looks kind of whack simultaneously

Lots of basketball - it’s championship week

congrats to Lipscomb on their first ever Big Dance

you know when the ball gets wedged in between the basket and the backboard, and the game awkwardly stops. Instead of going to the possession arrow — it should either be worth 1 points. cuz it’s actually harder to do than put it in the basket. And you can’t “dunk” the ball into the wedged position, it’s got to be a shot and an unblocked / tipped/ defected shot at that. You might be saying, Gavin... Actually, it should be worth negative 1 point — if you put up a shot and miss, so be it, but if you hoist a shot and the game has to stop because of your miss — you lose a point. Either way, it would make basketball have an added wrinkle. 

I’ll put up a poll and we’ll see what people think 

Wine, Wall & Dragons - Season 6, Episode 10 finale show notes

Game of Thrones week 10 notes ( Wine, Wall & Dragons))

 

Places listening - Japan is 2nd place (Cousin is on vacation there but props nonetheless), Mexico in 3rd, UK and Germany tied for 4th. New places Gambia, Indonesia and Hungary

 

Top cities listening - Philadelphia, Tokyo, Anchorage, AK, Walpole — can’t really explain who’s listening in Alaksa, but I hope you’re “on the crab”

 

GV predictions - NIght’s king penetrates wall, Varys kills Kevan lannister, Bran wargs a msg to Jon or Sansa, Brienne dies

 

DOB’s predictions - Night’s king gets to walls, Cersei blows up kings landing, Catlyn stark appears, Walder Frey dies.

 

can believe it’s week 10 — KIng’s landing - Cersei awaits trial in the sept 

Tommen, Margery, the whole gang is getting dressed for the “trial of the century” - I haye TOmmen’s face

 

Lords appears to be a broken man- Margery seems to have an understanding with the High Sparrow - Cersei seems to be dressed in an homage to Prince. Paecelle still hitting the ladies of the evening 

 

Loras’s trial — he confesses in 3 seconds… to everything. Decides to go “Full born again mode”. Abandons the Tyrell name and Highgarden. Takes a life of celibacy. Tattooing dudes’ heads. Something tells me that Cersei ain’t going out like that. 

 

On cue the mountain pays Tommen a visit - DOB’s firewater prediction — seems to be gaining steam. Lancel Lannister is “Hip to the sabotage” 

 

Kyburn has a little kids butcher Pycelle - Didn’t see him winning our sweepstakes — but he just did 

 

Lancel stabbed by a kid too - Child Soldiers — hitting dudes left and right 

 

Not sure how i feel about CErsei’s move here ( do i root for her or not) — Margery essentially pulls the fire alarm — Sparrow = hubris 

 

HOLY COW that stuff is explosive - Cersei drinks wine an gloats — damn! Tommen - speechless - 

 

Cersei even settles score with that lady septon. Ice COLD. She is the coldest lady in all the realm — and she’s planning to go all ramsay bolton on her 

 

Ser Gregor took off the mast. Tough look 

 

The Tyrell’s besides Olyanna are all dead

 

Tommen just committed Suicide?!?!!?!?!?!?!? Stannis dead? WHO IS KING??? As usual Cersei is winning the battle and losing the war. Son is dead, prophecy is fulfilled.

 

Frey and Lannisters — at a banquet - Bronn is awesome - Jamie is awesome. Jamie and Frey ( Edmure is alive foreshadowing) - Jamie is calling out Frey a bit — and now he’s calling him out big time - gonna be interesting. 

 

Sam and Gilly are back — Looks like Old town - home of MIT the Maester Institute of technology - Sam is at the registrar. Registrar is DB - just like in real life. Gilly is looking good - i’m just saying. Sam needs to visit the Archmaester - pretty baller library - Makes hogwarts look like a preschool. 

 

Up north - Jon Snow / melissandre talking old school. Davos seems pretty hot and bothered about Shireen getting burned (as predicted). Melissandre lobbies to stay alive — Jon sends her south — seems like that’s a bad idea. Davos puts my green onions idea to bed. Not gonna happen 

 

Sansa shows up — seems pretty cunning and hip to Little Finger. IT’s winter time and Jon and Sansa share the irony of “winter is coming” 

 

Dorne - and Lady Olynna is in Dorne - Varys is in Dorne too — that’s super interesting (He can’t kill Kevan Lannister, cuz uncle Kev burned alive)

 

Daneryous and Daarhio Naharas — are breaking up — He’s groveling like the sell sword he is. Bay of Dragons is the new name of Slaver’s Bay. 

 

Tyrion - drinking wine (like Lannisters do) - talks with Dany — he gives her a bit of a pep talk - Tyrion is the “hand of the Queen” — boom!!! Two time hand on two continents, that’s a record! 

 

Walder Frey - drinking, eating and talking dirty for serving girls — ohhh boy — the girl cooked Frey’s sons Arya stark — YES!!!!!! That was awesome. Ice cold again. 

 

Sansa and Little Finger in the Weirwood - Little finger talks about being the King of Westeros —

 

Bran and Meera are getting dropped off by Benjen — so he’s essentially dead — but a force for good 

 

Bran - logs on line to the weir wold web - Tower of Joy - Young ned stark - Lyanna Stark — she spills the beans on Jon Stark’s lineage. BOOM!!! 

 

Jon spills the beans on the NIght’s King - Lyanna Mormont calls playas out. Manderly is in. Glover is in. They are naming Jon Snow the king in the north. Little Finger is NOT IMPRESSED. Sansa and Little finger exchange a glance 

 

Jamie Lannister arrives back in King’s landing — Cersei is about to do something bad ass that’s apparent — ahhhh she just Sat on the Iron Throne — First female Queen — Mic Drop — didn’t see that coming at all — So maybe she just won the long game 

 

Jamie looks HEATED!!!

 

Theon and Yara are sailing with Grey Worm an the Whole Crew of Dangerous’s Army and Navy- VARYS is on the BOAT!!!!! IS that a slip — or did they swing by and grab him in Dorne
