Cheesesteak and Chowder

Will Taylor and Travis actually get married at Madison Square Garden? Jason has a theory. Plus, Hunter tries not to jinx the Knicks, but other members of the pod may have reason to root for them. A round of America's Favorite Game, "Who Sucks More," plus some A.J. Brown trade talk.

We're podding live on location from the hot tub, sipping on some Daisy's, munching on some chedds, and discussing the NHL and NBA playoffs, best pretzel shapes, best jerseys to wear to games, why you should never bring a baseball glove to a game after age 13, and a whole bunch more.

It's time for America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?" This episode, we pit dude who cares about April Fool's Day against dude who cares about Friday the 13th. We also throw the grammar police into a "Shit we care too much about" segment, as we rip into the spots talking heads for referencing "first" and "second" round draft picks as "a one" and "a two." We finish things off with a Mix Tape Mafia teaser crossover game about all the #1 hits with single word titles that are women's names.

We're fired up post-Olympics and sharing the best C&C ways to enhance the Winter Olympics, and the sports we could compete in today. We also play an office and email-themed round of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?" Finally, we discuss why the Girl Scouts need to Get Their Asses Back on Track.

We toss the Pro Bowl and the Hall of Fame into America's favorite game, play a few round of sports-themed "If We Ran It," a somewhat surprising "Get Your Ass Back on Track," some "Why are you still in my life?" and much much more! It's the pre-superbowl pod you didn't realize you needed.

We're dealing with more threats of NC winter storms and dig into the perplexing naming convention of such storms. The Pats are back! The Monks are marching through town. And we come up with the ultimate solution to make the ESPY's and all star games way more relevant.

Here's a little mini episode that pulls back the curtain a little on some of the great studio ideas that spawn up while we're needling. Enough with all these Duke Mayo Bowl, Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and the like. We've got the idea that is certain to become football's biggest event year after year... it's the Bean Bag Studios Bowl of course, chock full of all your favorite four gob on-field sponsors and tons of fun stuff.

It's a potpourri of C&C to end 2025 and kick off the new year. We've got some folks in the sports media who need to "get their ass back on track" when it comes to winning a division in the NFL. We play a few games, and dive into our Spotify wrapped - Bean Bag Studios style.

It's time to recap Thanksgiving and offer some controversial takes on the Turkey festivities. Then, of course, a little football talk, a couple new jingles, and "Who Sucks More?"

New Worst Rule in Sports? plus a barometer check on the state of Boston, Philly, and NY Sports

We're in studio for a summertime check-in to ask why ride photos and souvenir cups are still in my life? Also, a round of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?," summer concert edition! Then we check the bean bag studios voicemail and listen to a message from a prominent fan who is vowing to bring back the 4-gob Hershey's Gold and "make America gold again."

Our 10th Anniversary celebration continues with a special A to Z list of the top elements and moments in the 10 year history of Bean Bag Studios. #NoRecapShows #NewMaterial #ComedyGold

We're celebrating 10 years of C&C and Bean Bag Studios all month long! One of our first 10th anniversary episodes features a check-in from our old friends, Smirnof & Stroganoff, our Russian correspondents on the links. Then, we get our taillights cracked on the Karen Read trial. Spoiler alert: She's guilty. We also cast our version of the Karen Read movie. (another spoiler alert: OJ Simpson didn't make the cut. Well he did, but not for a movie role). Finally, we talk a little bit of sports and the Celtics-Knicks rivalry that isn't, as well as the Utah Mammoth.

We welcome our newest sponsor, Daizy's Social Sodas! You can tell there's THC in these puppies because we spend the last 15 minutes of the pod pondering what things were compared to before the inventions of sliced bread and bread boxes. We also call out the news outlets for all featuring the wrong movie roles to feature on Val Kilmer's tombstone.

Anthony takes the floor to chirp and gloat about his champion Eagles! We also play a couple rounds of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?"

* - Due to technical difficulties, the audio failed to register on this episode from the mixer, and we ended up with just a recording of ambient room audio. So, it's tough to hear everyone, but there's some good content in there, much of it spontaneous, that we wanted to serve up to you anyway. Enjoy some important sports takes about fan gear violations, missed extra points, the defeat formation, and an impromptu fantasy draft of classic mall stores.

The Kraft signal went up for the Mayo firing/coach hiring of Jason's beloved Patriots. We wonder who actually wants to watch this new TGL golf league, and come up with all the ways we would improve it if we ran it. Then we play a couple rounds of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?," and Anthony brings a new game to the table - are these Oreo flavors real or fake?

We recap the food-injected year that was 2024, slide in a "Shit We Missed," play a round of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More?," and listen to the most full throttled embrace of being who you are with the new McRib holiday jingle!

We dig into the mailbag and read an impassioned note from listener "Joey C. from Coney Island." Then we discuss the proposed "Golden At-Bat Rule" in baseball as a springboard to introducing some of the best new rule ideas - straight from the C&C development team - for all four major sports to make things WAY better. We wrap up with the interim producer giving us his birthday lineup, featuring Maude Apatow.

We kick things off this week with an "If We Ran It" where we pitch our new business venture - a theme park based on Hallmark Movies. Then, it's the state of our respective sports nations.  We analyze all 4 sports teams in each of our hometowns, give them each a gobs rating, and debate who's teams are in the best (or saddest) state.

We wonder where the term "Laundry List" came from and who the experts are who claim that certain unhealthy things eliminate random amounts of time from your life. We share illogical fears like ladders sliding off the tops of vans and impaling us while driving. Anthony hosts a round of America's favorite game, "Who Sucks More," asking Jason about two types of annoying fans at sporting events. Then, we give the rundown of our respective birthday baseball lineups - our top 9 famous people who share our birthdays, placed into a baseball-style lineup, plus a starting pitcher, and debate who has the best roster.

After some NFL takes and a discussion of whether or not the Deshaun Watson trade is the worst in sports history, we dive into some of the all time most disapointing "knock off" products that we ended up with, because they were chepear, healthier, or just available.  We're talking Hydrox cookies, Loc Blocs, and Go Bots. Then we discuss the shocking news that Capri Sun is going to be selling it's drinks in bottles and we wax on about the iconic packaging like pouches and cannisters that "Make" certain products what they are.

A whole bunch of rambling in our cups!

We're broadcasting for the first time, outside on the Villa Papagna 3.0 -- it's an old school C&C (with new skool takes)!  As we do every couple years, we give you some fresh takes (rants) on the Olympics, including which sports we could compete in and which sports should be added (pool H-O-R-S-E, anyone?).  Also, a recap of Jason's destination wedding weekend in the Vermont mountains, and some fresh travel takes coming off his honeymoon to Antigua, including an airport terminal edition of America's Favorite Game, "Who Sucks More?"

A tight twenty minute banger!  Why are the Minions and Murder Mystery Parties still in my life? Also, boneless chicken wings have no business calling themselves "wings."
