One half of the podcast has COVID. One half of the podcast is now selling candles. 100% of the podcast hated Adam Driver's new movie and can't seem to keep up with the Ted Lasso discourse.
The bad boys have seen Nicolas Cage's latest and they're head over heels. Also, Rob Thomas and Carlos Santana have reunited. (This episode had to be edited down because an announcement made on it had to be delayed. There is a hint at it in the episode if you can find it.)

While taping Patreon content we realize the vibes are too strong so we make it this week's episode. Is heavy cream the most underrated dairy product? Suicide Squad is good. Dawson's Creek is best.
DJ is finding ways to repurpose the phrase "here comes the pizza." Matt Damon should probably stop talking for a little bit. Ted Lasso rocks. The new Woodstock '99 documentary is the stuff of nightmares.

Arch nemesis and corporate bully Dude With Sign is up to his bullying ways again, and this time it's about coffee. Sob Rock is growing on us. We've got an idea for a book that we legitimately might make. M. Night Shyamalan has a new movie coming and there's a Hollywood friendship that needs to make its way onto the podcast.
As the classic-sounding title suggests, the bad boys are devastated by a rainy July in New England. Escape Room 2 is out this week. If you could have one article of clothing be new every day, what would it be?
Has a podcast ever been recorded without the internet? Now one has. In what was intended to at least partially be a Forever Purge episode, the Bad Boys never once mention the movie because they are still fascinated by the Dick Richards era of Jaws preproduction. Also, the second season of I Think You Should Leave is an instant classic.

Pete has a birthday and potentially a mean friend. Weather has folks trying to beat the heat. It's Jaws Week and the Bad Boys are hung up on an extremely fun Jaws fact. Michael Keaton's name history is fascinating.
We finally got our hands on the Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich Pringles just as a controversial chip tweet leads to in-show tweeting. Carl Nassib makes history. What song would you perform a la Dave Chappelle/Foo Fighters? People are selling chicken McNuggets for thousands of dollars on eBay.

A new picture of Ben and Jen has the bad boys wondering why every picture of two celebrities is described as "cozy" or "steamy." Pete and DJ have begun lying to each other for fun. More chicken sandwich/BTS meal talk, plus a random Dawson's Creek review (S4 E19: "Late").

New Lorde is on the way and people are freakin'. Bo Burnham's new special looks great and is very Father John Misty.

Dog Joker and A Quiet Place II are upon us. We review Lena Waithe's season of Master of None and discuss a cancelable classic song. All of that is done after we talk about the Saw universe for a little while.

Folks, we've done it...we have FINALLY returned to the movie theater. We saw Spiral (some of us saw it twice) and ate chicken tenders. It's a great time to be alive.

Bud Light sent us some stuff, but not a sponsorship. Pete has some free time and came up with an incredible word to describe it. The Bad Boys discuss the Oscars and how good they are at talkin' sports. Plus, a Lena Waithe-centered Master of None season is on the way.

The Super League isn’t happening, which apparently is a good thing? We dunno; the name sounded pretty cool! The bad boys have an extremely strong conversation about baseball and hatch an idea involving Jack Black. We also have a new favorite dude with sign.
Videos are the new GIFs. We're out on Dude with Sign, who is hella corporate smh. Speaking of corporate, we think we've found a good sponsor. DJ's rollerblading life is off to an interesting start. The new Mighty Ducks show is pleasant. How do you take your soda?
A discussion about the state of calling things underrated is interrupted. The bad boys also reminisce about custom Rob Thomas merchandise and review Godzilla vs. Kong.

Chet Hanks’ ‘Saturdays are for the Boys’ adaptation might be over before it began. DJ and Pete pick which Pokemon the other is. A review of Sound of Metal, a hygienic ad read and a discussion off the latest Spiral trailer.
We guess who wrote what about the Cinnamon Toast Crunch/shrimp fiasco. A Jeopardy guest host might be a snake oil salesman. Trumpet players have supreme posture. Google thinks Pete has a high AAV. DJ recommends baths. Music is back.
The Grammys ditched their format and threw an absolute party. Longtime music journalist John Norris joins to discuss Music’s Biggest Night, BTS and music journalism over the years. Plus, Oscar nominations are out, we have a plan for the Dog Joker rollout and a Ben Affleck development.
Gum stonk watch continues back with listener testimonials. A brief conversation about MTV VJs. Pete sees Hook, leading to a thorough breakdown of the Robin Williams epic. The bad boys have an ad read and it's a classic.

Daft Punk broke up so we discuss some Daft Punk feelings, plus some bands/artists that we don't necessarily "get" to the level that's expected. We also tease some show news & review "I Care A Lot" -- a movie we enjoyed to varying degrees.
Pete is a Marbles megastar. A discussion about roast beef sandwich culture and barbecue sauce advancements. Your Honor is over and we can’t wait for Cruella.
We need to have a difficult discussion about Rami Malek: Is he a good actor? “The Little Things” really stinks, plus an appreciation of Stephen A. Smith, revisiting La La Land, regrading A Star is Born from memory, the gap between “graceful” and “disgraceful” and more “Your Honor” madness!
After Joe Biden's inauguration led to a rare performance from New Radicals, music journalist and Gregg Alexander biographer Steven Horowitz joins the bad boys to discuss the project and rank the top moments in "You Get What You Give."
Nostalgic beer cans. Meme accounts. What would the world be like if pop trio fun. stayed together? A major announcement from A Teacher and the conclusion of Happiest SZN Season.
Pete is sick and we're starting to strongly consider the possibility that we'll never hear Matt's band. Part 1 of a cliffhanger "Happiest Season" review. John Feitelberg joins to discuss Taylor Swift's "Evermore" and draft a 2020 Taylor album, which proves to be a thrilling exercise.
Is James Blunt British? Are we stupid? Will we ever get to hear the husband's band in A Teacher?
With reviews for Christmas Chronicles 2, Fatman, The Undoing and A Teacher, the bad boys have TOO MUCH WORK THIS EPISODE!!!
Stonks are HIGH on miniseries right now. We discuss the Queen's Gambit and why Pete refuses to watch it, The Undoing and how much Hugh Grant loves his wife (DJ has clearly only seen one episode) and the most problematic thing about A Teacher.
Twitter has introduced a new feature and it's led to the first blood oath in BRUNCH history. We also reviewed the 2020 film "Friendsgiving" and SPOILER: It absolutely sucks so bad.
Disgusted by how quickly everyone wants to replace Alex Trebek, the Bad Boys replace everyone.
Have we ever done the "we watched _______... so you don't have to!" thing? We can't remember, but that's stupid. We did watch Hubie Halloween, though. Talk later!
What random city/team would warrant buying season tickets to a team that means nothing to you? What would your McDonald's sponsored meal be? Do we still care about TCL? We're also doing a football stream/Vineyard Nights power hour (which isn't what it sounds like) and imagining a bright future for shitty NHL gifs.
In an episode of "Brunch," DJ and Pete discuss fantasy football in a palatable way, potentially being led astray about a Juanes song, the Jacksonville Jaguars and a tempting Best Buy purchase.
It's Monday and there are new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! (There are not.) The Bad Boys discuss following relationships online, promote other members of the Brunch community and discuss their love of sports
Reaction vids are thriving months after DJ used them to get through the night. What is the Seth Rogen pickle thing?
A Zac Efron heat check, plus DJ finally watches Queer Eye, allowing for an overdue episode.
We're ready to give Hamilton a shot, but with none of that music stuff. If we wanted music, we'd just listen to Haim.
Phoebe Bridgers breaks the internet, Pete's twitter finally sucks and DJ has church intrigue. Plus, previewing Haim's third album, reviewing "You Should Have Left" and planning a second "What's Cookin'?"
Jeff checks in as the ordering of boy band members by height continues with *NSYNC. Plus, reminiscing about Dane Cook's heyday, a review of Da 5 Bloods and a love letter to AMC theaters.

Murder Hornets are out, but a new murder insect is challenging the throne and we're on board. DJ tries to buy a toy but ends up in a horrible debacle with FedEx. Also, should we cancel Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for being sexist?
Very good episode. We're all-in on murder hornet vids. Kids are peeing their pants. Seinfeld's new standup special is boomerific. We watched the Sonic movie
The Bad Boys debut 'This Week in Challenges,' and put Instagram riddles under a microscope
Are all cows ladies? Does DJ's Twitter suck? How do we feel about new HAIM? What is involved in a Martha's Vineyard draft?
We answer all those questions and more on this week's BRUNCH, sponsored (but not really) by Beach Road Weekend, July 24-26 on Martha's Vineyard! #ad
In an important episode, the Bad Boys are joined by the cerebral author of "Hitchhiking with Larry David" to discuss Martha's Vineyard, Bernie Sanders, his experience with super producer David Foster and being grateful for past relationships. Pete and DJ also look for a bounceback from Elizabeth Moss in "The Invisible Man."
We saw Fantasy Island and boy did it suck. You know what doesn't suck? Beach Road Weekend. #ad

First up: The Irishman, directed by Martin Scorsese.
Curb is back with an all-time ep. Can we remember anything from Cats? Exploring whether Taylor Swift documentary reaction fatigue can set in before anyone has actually seen the documentary.
Florence Pugh, 24, is dating 44-year-old Zach Braff and some people are mad about it! After consuming some thoughts (and Bravo GIFs) on the matter, we decide to pen a letter to a BuzzFeed journalist. We also discuss Oscar nominations and betting odds. Plus, what's the deal with Harry Styles' new album?
At long last, 2019 is over and it's time to see just how badly Pete failed his yearly goal of watching 365 movies. Also, the second annual BRUNCH Year In Review reveals the podcast's favorite movies, songs, moments and shot-for-shot remakes of Norwegian revenge movies about killer snow plow drivers. A spoiler review of 'Uncut Gems' caps the episode.
Well, it's here. The Patreon demanded it and now it's reality -- DJ has released his much-anticipated holiday song. The boys also discuss a YouTuber catching heat, review Noah Baumbach's 'Marriage Story,' talk about the conclusion of "Silicon Valley" and discuss the controversy surrounding 'Richard Jewell.'
Peloton is getting roasted. Billie Eilish isn’t, but the make-believe people roasting her are. DJ sees “When Harry Met Sally.” The bad boys have differing views on “The Irishman,” while “Queen and Slim” is a heavy, painful masterpiece.
Listeners shared their text messages about the show and DJ hated it. Mark McGrath is here to ruin your relationship for $100. An update on the Patreon holiday song. We see and review two movies that make it into our top five favorites of the year: 'The Peanut Butter Falcon' and 'Knives Out.'
Is saying something's "having a moment" having a moment?Grammy noms are out, which is great news if you're an old song. Most importantly, there's a new enjoyably bad holiday movie in town.
It's Christmastime and people are losing their minds! DJ explains Chicken In A Biskit (it has a blue box). We run through our Top 10 Top 1 ABBA songs. A Patreon discussion. Is not liking the Foo Fighters a true badge of honor? And a new segment called "Is This Popular Song Actually Good?
Jeff comes through to talk childhood impressions of Rage Against the Machine, assessing the Red Hot Chili Peppers, imagining what Haim's version of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below would sound like and discussing best-movie-of-2019-so-far-candidate "Parasite." DJ saw "Countdown," leading to a heated discussion about whether there should be a limit to how scary PG-13 movies should be.
It's a very negative music episode as we shit on Taylor Swift's Tiny Desk concert, discuss Haim's hiatus (before their new single) and Kanye West's new album. Kyrie Irving and his unrelenting drama is discussed, plus possibly the best ad read in show history. Also, DJ recites the cast of 'Scream 2' and sings Creed.

The bad boys cover the horror classics: The Exorcist, Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, that Boy Meets World episode, a Halloween episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and the Blair Witch episode of Dawson's Creek.
We missed a week and we're sorry, so here's a State of the Podcast. We review 'Joker' (for real this time, we swear) and 'El Camino' while brainstorming some new bits for the show. Pete is working on his tight five. Also, the playlist returns once again.

The new Sturgill Simpson album is the music version of that movie "Mandy," Seinfeld2000 deserves a lifetime achievement award and HOO BOY is "Joker" something.
Both Pete and DJ have new musical love interests. We figure out why baseball writers like Bruce Springsteen so much. The Father John Misty subreddit has fallen on bleak times. We review 'Between Two Ferns: The Movie' and 'Ad Astra.'
Brave Dave tore his ACL, Pete has strep throat and we're all gonna die. After some corporate blowback, the BBoP are careful to please. The ads are good and everything else is bad.
Taking your calls on The Morning Buzz! A moment of silence for the late Paul Walker. Holy smokes, Lana del Rey really is having a moment! Plus, a review of 'It: Chapter 2' -- a five-hour saga that we still don't really understand.
So we didn't see it, or Midsommar (Director's Cut), but Randy saw the latter and we watched the controversial Dave Chappelle special. We also made a Taylor Swift playlist.
The world-famous Taylor tiers get podcast-first treatment for "Lover." Answering some curious headlines. "Ready or Not" pops off.
NPR Brunch presents: An essay you never fucking asked for.
Popeyes' new chicken sandwich is making people lose their mind, but is it THAT much better than every other chicken sandwich? It's a bad week to be a gas station. Plus, reviews for 'Good Boys' and 'Blinded By The Light.'
Episode brought to you by FEALS.
"Where y'all sitting?" is a smash hit. An old guy sang too many smash hits at karaoke and wound up in the hospital. While you idiots are asking whether a hot dog is a sandwich, we're asking more important hot dog questions. "The Kitchen" is an astonishing failure. DJ sees a Fast and the Furious movie and loves it. Emilio sits on Pete's lap.
We mock the worst meme in the history of the internet, discuss the new Haim single and where it came from, plus reviews of 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and 'Crawl.'
A very specific solution to Taylor Swift's current dilemma. The "crying about Mr. Rogers" fad is getting out of control. "The Lion King" was indeed disappointing.
In a shockingly on-topic episode, the boys discuss 'Midsommar' -- the latest horror movie from Ari Aster -- and that's about it. Also briefly discussed: Chest hair and 'Ready or Not.'
A special surprise guest from "Stranger Things" joins the show to (not) talk about Season 3 and how everyone looks gross. DJ & Pete both agree the season was outstanding but they find reasons to complain anyway. Also, a review of 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (aka Spider-Man 3) and a "BRUNCH Explains the Movies" for 'Midsommar.'
One of our most anticipated movies of the year ('Yesterday') didn't quite hit the mark, so we have a therapy session to work it out. Also, we get mad at food reviews and struggle to read ads.
Toy Story 4 is the trashiest one yet and nobody knows who Jonathan Frakes is. Murder Mystery is a bad movie, which is OK! ALSO: Build your dream anecdotal rock band.
It took two weeks but last week's episode is finally good thanks to an untold story. Following Taylor Swift's latest single, we must ask the question....does she suck? We discuss summer looks, including a major gripe with bathing suits. Also, a bonus Patreon review of 'Downsizing'...possibly the worst movie ever made.
Movies are back and they're back in a big way. We saw three movies this week -- Godzilla, Rocketman and Ma -- and we've got takes. We also rank our top five favorite Elton John songs and, in the spirit of Ma, DJ recounts a story about underage drinking.
Despite an absolutely terrible rollout, the live-action Aladdin was really fun, really enjoyable movie. Maybe the most fun movie since...gasp.... Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again? The new Godzilla movie (starring our guy Randy) is getting blasted by critics but that could be a good thing for us.
The Bruins and Blues are meeting for the ultimate claim for "Gloria" and we're still feuding with Laura Branigan's ghost. We saw John Wick 3, which is the worst of the three but still a very enjoyable movie. "Barry" closed out an incredible season but is approaching a critical juncture for its main character.
The bad boys are getting bullied by people from St. Louis and an unusual twitter account, so a new song was made just for St. Louis. "Easy" is back and "Barry" is peaking.
Canada is melting down one YouTuber at a time, the new Vampire Weekend album is a Haimfest and one host is having upper-body issues.
A whacky stunt derails the episode before it starts, "Barry" is out of control, Facebook is adding a game-changing dating feature and the "Sonic" trailer promises one stupid movie.
Taylor Swift released new music and -- surprise -- it's very jarring. We introduce some new segments, including fit checks and one for the ladies.
The Bad Boys realize people have only heard of music because of them. They would now like to introduce you to Maggie Rogers in 2019. DJ sees Pet Sematary and doesn't like being scared.
Happy April Fool's Week: We present some ideas to reinvigorate April Fool's, such as a Prank Purge. We address our recent controversies with show sponsors, including a very dramatic email from [redacted]. 'Barry' returns to HBO and is it the best show on TV right now? It could be, depending what time you're watching!
After one host is too scared to watch a horror movie at night, both bad boys successfully see "Us." Also, what happened to v-necks? Did you know Alec Baldwin used to be stunning?
DJ gets swindled by a Dunkin worker. We're out on music festivals for this year, for a variety of reasons. Long hair does not necessarily mean good hair. Also, a Patreon-exclusive review of 'Juliet, Naked'...for real this time.
Did you hear the news about Chelsea Handler? DJ has a personal crisis (one zit that isn't really a zit) and is weighing the pros and cons of going skiing for the first time in years. Also, not to brag but the podcast predicts that the Celtics will blow out the Warriors and Gordon Hayward will be good again.
The bad boys recap an eventful Oscars. Should everyone just close Twitter once an award show is almost done? DJ explains the horrifying short films he saw while doing Oscars prep.

We saw 'Cold Pursuit' (the Liam Neeson dark comedy that isn't really a dark comedy until it suddenly becomes a dark comedy about an hour into the movie) and my goodness...what a movie! We were so enthralled by it that we also watched its Norwegian inspiration, 'In Order of Disappearance'...starring Stellan Skarsgård!
Also: DJ recaps The Grammys, how to play a piano, and the reaction to Kacey Musgraves winning Album of the Year. Ray Romano has a new comedy special and it's underwhelming. The first trailer for 'Aladdin' is here and...it's a nope!

Since our "blast from the past" episode was so well-received, we decided to double-down. And just as we predicted (before it happened), the Oscar nominations have arrived. Also, we discuss the second season of "Friends From College" and wonder why the hell that show gets so much criticism.
The Bad Boys travel back in time to record an episode prior to its release. Also, have you heard about this James Corden guy?
It was a perilous journey but we survived Gillette's savage attack on men, so we'll still be able to time-honored traditions like targeted harassment & children fighting each other...LIKE MEN. Also, we review 'Vice' -- a polarizing movie that paints the Bush administration in the worst way possible -- and 'If Beale Street Could Talk,' which should find its way into Oscars contention.
In a movie-heavy episode, the OBBs lament the Golden Globes and review Escape Room, Mary Poppins Returns and The Favourite.
Pete has a preposterous New Year's Resolution that he will most definitely not accomplish. DJ has a take on New Year's Eve and the phrase "amateur hour." We hand out some prestigious awards to close out 2018...including Bootleg Actor of the Year, Most Handsome Man of the Year, Best Performance by a Mamma Mia Actor in a Non-Mamma Mia Role, Best Achievement in Crying, and more. Plus, a Patreon-only review of Netflix's 'Bird Box.'

"Welcome to Marwen" bombed at the box office, but was it really that bad? Pete thinks so. DJ doesn't, and he feels qualified to diagnose bad movies after seeing "Holmes and Watson." Also, people are furious at Instagram.
We're not getting invited to Christmas parties. (In fact, we are getting UN-INVITED.) We saw 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' and can't figure out whether it's supposed to be 2D or 3D. We fight about which of us liked it better.

The podcast goes to couples therapy but the future looks bright. Chance The Rapper asks a silly question but it leads us to wonder what the perfect amount of friends for an adult is. (Hint: Not a lot.) DJ buys a luxury item that turns out to be a massive disappointment. How should we be buttoning our dress shirts? Kids are snorting condoms because we took their Tide Pods away. 'Jersey Shore' is back and we're on board, mainly because the case shares an emotional connection to "Thunder." Kacey Musgraves' new album is discussed, but DJ is hesitant to shower it with too much praise.

The bad boys go into detail on their process and worry about CHVRCHES' latest releases.
DJ issues a semi-apology and clears the air. The boys got together with a crew and went to see 'Ready Player One' without Jeff Israel, who may or may not have planned the outing. The movie drew mixed reviews, though the theater experience was a lively one. America is going to turn into a "Black Mirror" episode at some point, and DJ is already horrified at the thought. Pete rediscovers a vice and is determined to get Deej onboard. We found a cool new hack to force you and your friends to listen to our dumb podcast, so if you're new...enjoy!
Some idiot man proposed by editing himself into 'Love Actually' and we hope that marriage burns to the ground. Pete shares a jukebox anecdote and DJ gets very upset, leading to a rare podcast disagreement. 'Silicon Valley' returned with a strong start, but still leaves us wanting more.

It's Oscars season and we're reviewing the Academy's big category picks. 'Get Out' (starring Daniel Kaluuya and Allison Williams) is directed by Jordan Peele and has nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Kaluuya), Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay.
Synopsis:
"Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined." -- Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

James and Dave Franco lead an all-star cast to tell the bizarre story of how 'The Room' -- a cult "disasterpiece" often hailed as "the best bad movie ever made" -- came to be. The movie is getting critical acclaim, but are we buying in?
Synopsis:
"With 'The Disaster Artist,' James Franco transforms the tragicomic true-story of aspiring filmmaker and infamous Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau—an artist whose passion was as sincere as his methods were questionable—into a celebration of friendship, artistic expression, and dreams pursued against insurmountable odds. Based on Greg Sestero best-selling tell-all about the making of Tommy's cult-classic disasterpiece 'The Room' (“The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”), 'The Disaster Artist' is a hilarious and welcome reminder that there is more than one way to become a legend—and no limit to what you can achieve when you have absolutely no idea what you're doing." -- Follow us on Twitter/Instagram: @ListenToBrunch Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

Chance the Rapper goes in on Rotten Tomatoes, a website he may not totally understand.

We check in on our Will & Grace scoreboard and voice frustrations with Curb Your Enthusiasm's lackluster return to HBO.
The beef jerky prices are too damn high. Hugh Hefner has died and that’s not something we take particularly seriously. Haim and Paul Thomas Anderson make magic together. Does anybody want to be Zac Efron? Billy Joel got all the pretty ladies. Will & Grace is back and we’re going to watch it.
In the premiere of Season 3, some changes hit the podcast. The boys disagree on 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle,' make a strong case to check out 'American Vandal' on Netflix, and discuss the slew of anthem protests that took over the sports world following President Pissboy's comments last week.

The Bad Boys pour one out for a fallen musician, even though only one of them has heard of him. Also, discussing a strong ending to Season 2 of Insecure.
We got an early screening to that creepy clown shit and came away with different reactions.
The boys experience a revelation about Matchbox Twenty, break down the new Taylor Swift single and look forward to a screening of 'It' this week. Also, it's (not) Monday and people are getting their dicks chopped off.
An “I wrote about” ripped Taylor Swift for not commenting on Donald Trump and the Bad Boys of Not Liking Trump But Also Having Brains tore it to bits. Also, discussing our Jigsaw victim candidacies.
Pete forces DJ to watch the Game of Thrones season finale and Padraic O'Connor comes on the show to discuss it. Later, Stranger Things' Randy Havens joins to talk about a plethora of topics, including his appearance in Logan Lucky. He also fails to fall into our trap to paint him as a racist.
Taylor Swift's new song is garbage, but was it her plan all along? And how much blame should fall on the shoulders of Lena Dunham? Plus, a new development in the disappearance Lamby.
HUGE NEWS: The Original Bad Boys of Podcasting are available for weddings! Also, Ingrid Goes West is terrifying.
DJ is triggered by the response to Justin Bieber's new single, Pete is proud of himself for sneaking into a movie screening, and the podcast's first-ever stalemate brings much confusion.
In a judgment-free episode, a revelation is made about the act of pissing. DJ discovers his new favorite food & Pete contemplates drunkenly enlisting in the Army.
The podcast opens a joint bank account and decide they should go to therapy. Later, they reflect on their latest TV appearance and discuss WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER: 10 YEARS LATER, which only one of them has seen.
The OBBs body shame the body-shaming hero-turned-body shamer, weigh in on who can (Pete) and can’t (DJ) pull off athleisure and react to an article praising Zac Efron’s startling travel innovation.
Nobody likes "The Dark Tower," the Bad Boys are full-fledged TV stars and there's a new meme in town.
A big announcement, a review of Christopher Nolan's DUNKIRK and a purge of Justin Bieber feelings.
Some friends of the podcast scored big Emmy noms, so we figure out how to use it for personal gain. Also, we discuss Spider-Man & War For the Planet of the Apes.
In the second part of a two-parter, Pete gets a bad haircut, Ray Romano does a long distance dedication and the BBs hear that new Haim.
In the first of a two-part episode, the Bad Boys are distracted as they await the new Haim album. Pete is taking a trip, DJ had a Best Buy experience, Andrew Garfield offended gay people by calling himself gay and a bunch of soccer players got kicked off their team for outrageous behavior.
DJ accidentally eats two meals back-to-back and the OBBs can’t decide what was better: “The Big Sick” or Jon Hamm’s look in “Baby Driver.”
Pete gets laid off from his job, DJ gets mistaken for Rihanna's new lover & both bad boys see a screening of 'The House' (Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler). Also, a discussion about what they would include on a rider.
After missing an episode (and each other) the Bad Boys return with a vengeance. DJ discusses a bad experience of being called out for bad language; a negative review leaves the OBBs shook.
What is the best Killers song? What is the best No Doubt song? What is the best Counting Crows song? None of this matter because the new Haim song that’s about to be released will be better than them all.
Bachelorette movie season has begun and the BBoP reluctantly went to see the white girl edition. Also, a discussion about beer (and when it is and is not sad to drink it) as well as a check-in with Better Caul Saul and Fargo.
At long last, radio legend Jim Murray joins the bad boys to discuss being a former fat kid, Greek diners and his infamous food takes while eating a variety of snacks. Also, solo concert trips are a thing.
Pete’s prescient Lorde take has been proven right and the Bad Boys are OUT. Also, buffalo wings aren’t that good and what’s better: being a babe or being a doll?
DJ sends a good tweet, Pete has problems with his butt. The BBoP discuss the Kathy Griffin scandal and how it has created problems for Pete, as well as heat checks on "I'm Dying Up Here" and "Silicon Valley."
In an unexpected development, the Bad Boys were completely distracted by how pretty everyone was while watching Baywatch. As a result, their review takes a lot of detours, but they’re all very tasteful. Also, two bachelorette party movies are coming out. One looks great and one looks terrible.
Zac Efron Week continues with an early look at the reactions to Baywatch and a review of Charlie St. Cloud. Also, DJ shaved.
To kick off Zac Efron Week on BRUNCH, we review 'Hairspray,' do a true Zac Efron Heat Check with news of a new (and surprising) movie role and discuss a potential relationship brewing with Alexandra Daddario. Also, a regrettable check-in on Colin Jost.
"Master of None" star Lena Waithe joins the podcast to talk about Season 2 of the Netflix hit, preview her upcoming Showtime series and officially become group text buddies with the bad boys of podcasting.
For the first time in show history, one of the bad boys gets mad at the other. Also, Master of None's second season is perfect television.
The boys are prepared to die on yet another hill. Is Steve Harvey an asshole for not wanting anything to do with his staff? Also, some thoughts on the NHL playoffs and housekeeping/merch updates.
How old is too old to pee somewhere you’re not supposed to pee? A three-headed It’s Monday and People Are Pissed, a review of not-that-bad-movie Bad Moms and an appreciation of strong current seasons from Silicon Valley and Better Call Saul.
Some rumors circulate the internet following the show's one-episode hiatus. Pete gets a facial and DJ gets jealous. A conversation (and some conspiracy theories) about Fyre Festival, we digest new Haim and pump the brakes on "I'm the One." Plus, a discussion about the best table starter food at restaurants.
There's new Haim (finally!) but we also need to have a discussion about "dartying" and wearing polos.
A flat tire signals what is likely the end of DJ's life. Haim teasing new music makes the bad boys faint. Prince is still dead, and it all leads to an important discussion about the Chicago Bears.
Kelen Capener of The Story So Far joins to talk about being a huge failure at guitar, his band's upcoming album -- featuring work from Max Martin, Haim, Kendrick Lamar and the ghost of John Lennon -- and bad tattoos.
Making fun of a truly stupid feature on a superficial man who uses his weird standards to talk about how he used to “only date models.” Also, the United Airlines mess, talking on planes, putting titles in parentheses and reading into these pictures Haim is posting.
After another classic Brunch concert experience, the fellas discuss creepy dudes at bars, Cuba Gooding Jr. and The Chainsmokers (again).
In a music-heavy episode, the fellas discuss Father John Misty's 'Pure Comedy' (and his signature new catchphrase), Kendrick's album tease, problems with the new Chainsmokers album, Harry Styles' debut single, and the new Tupac biopic.
The exhausted boys of podcasting discuss turkey clubs, ordering dessert and review A Dog’s Purpose, which was a really bad movie.
An Almost Friend Of The Podcast got arrested for drugs, we discuss whether Pete Holmes' show 'Crashing' is any good and debut a new segment called "Same, Mike Pence." Also, the first ever bingo ball movie draw is conducted.
A lot of music talk with new Kendrick Lamar, Father John Misty revelations, a John Mayer profile, festival thoughts, and some playlist updating. Also, a few new segments are debuted.
You know what's great? Male bonding. We discuss the best and most underrated guy hangs. We also spice up Dave Franco & Alison Brie's (brand new) marriage and review Amy Schumer's new special (Spoiler: It sucks ass).
A new bit called “Cool Takes” is premiered. Also discussed: Food Network racism, whether or not the species-saving turtle is actually a hero, Season 2 of Love, what it would be like if we made other friends and the ongoing threat of the Brunch Vault.
Resident adult Randy Havens joins to discuss Get Out, what it's like to not be allowed to talk about Season 2 of Stranger Things and how Cuba Gooding Jr. would do in a fight against Brunch.
We're not positive what we expected from Ed Sheeran's new album, but we were disappointed. Also, reviewing 'Nocturnal Animals' and discussing the idea of a "smart condom."
A rundown of the drama at the Oscars, dreams of Broadway, and a spoiler-free review of 'Get Out.'
Oscar Nunez joins the bad boys for a lengthy discussion about his time on The Office, his experience working with Zac Efron and, because duh, the Oscars.
A review of Fist Fight gets sidetracked and becomes a full-fledged discussion about old seasons of 24. Also, the problem with non-iPhone users (everything), a hot new day-drinking tip and the birth of Hockey Day in America Month.
The artists formerly known as the Bad Boys of Podcasting were cucked this week, as was a friend of the podcast. Also, a discussion about the weirdness of Adam Devine's face.
Breaking down the winners and losers of the 2017 Grammy awards(aka mainly talking about Twenty One Pilot dicks and how undeserving '25' was).
THE MERCH STORE IS OPEN! Plus the bad boys recap two awkward movie-going experiences — including a John Wick 2 review — a parade, look ahead to a Cool J-less Grammys and discuss the meanest Instagram post ever.
The Patriots won "the big game" but Lady Gaga is the real champion. Also, some Luke Bryan talk leads to a discussion about suicide.
Talkin' THE BIG GAME (you know, like guys do) and also stealing puppies from their family forever.
Pete checks in from LA, where he mentions that he finally watched 500 Days of Summer. That led to a full-blown 500 Days of Summer episode.
The BBoP provide a lesson in podcasting efficiency by watching two movies and a football game while recording. It could have gone better.
Knowing it could be the end of the world, DJ, Pete and Jeff empty their bag of takes. The Office vs. Parks and Rec, what question you would ask a dog if they could answer, which dead memes are still fun and another very important conversation about how good Sing Street is.
A terribly disorganized review of 'Sing Street,' plus a fun game involving Mark Ruffalo and complaining with etiquette.
The badboys have a conversation about piss they really didn't want to have. They also celebrate the Patriots-Texans rivalry, answer a question about whether a drink can be "too girly for a guy" (Jesus, obviously not) and weigh the pros and cons of just giving money to the listeners from time to time.
A recap of the Golden Globe Awards paired with a very timely assessment of the movie "I Love You, Man."
After a very hetero discussion about hockey, the BBoP break down getting bitten by a tiger and some new music from Ed Sheeran and MØ
A review of Run The Jewels 3, an email about lesbian drama, and Movie Review Monday recap of "When The Bough Breaks."
After taking a week off because it just kind of felt like the move, the bad boys return with a week-late “Christmas episode” that hits on movie theater shenanigans, twitter shenanigans, New Year’s Eve and Zac Efron movie “New Year’s Eve.”
A review of 'La La Land,' including the beauty and charm of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone together. Plus, takes on gingerbread houses and bad Christmas songs.
In an action-packed episode, the Bad Boys discuss this week’s realization that they are Kathie Lee and Hoda, weigh in on a bonkers preview for “Baywatch” and share their experience seeing "Office Christmas Party" kind of together.
Merch update: We're buying a bar. Also, an important (and somewhat creepy) Zac Efron Heat Check.
The wineboys of wine-drinking review The Weeknd’s “Starboy,” discuss how bad they are at hockey and have an unbelievably factually incorrect conversation about Lana Del Rey.
A blind movie review and a discussion about how much money we would want to win via the lottery.
In an episode that will sound insensitive given that it was recorded right before news of Kanye West’s hospitalization broke, the bad boys go IN on Kanye West, discuss new music from Bruno Mars and John Mayer and try to figure out what exactly the AMAs are. Also, a mandate that there be no Trump talk at Thanksgiving sparks a HamiltonGate discussion.
Charlotte Wilder of SB Nation joins Brunch for the second installment of Hot Guys vs. Weathermen. A number of celebrities are debated and Sarah Coppinger of the Handle Bar joins in a "Build Your Dream Guy" segment.
Reflecting on a run-in with Cameron Diaz, this week's SNL with Dave Chappelle, the election and a guessing game that goes very poorly.
