In this episode, we solve two mysteries and then have a long discussion on unwanted advances and aggressive pursuits and guys who put off a creepy vibe. As often happens, it's the minutes where there's seemingly not a lot of discussable action that leads to the best discussions!

It’s time for a sex ed lesson: namely, the history of Trojan condoms, why you shouldn’t double up on condoms, and how not to be a judgy asshole, KENNY. Karma gets him, though, because remember how that bathroom door is kinda broken? And Denise has frosting in her hair? Yeah.

A very surprising character turn leads James and Erin down the path of a certain actress's career. It has highs and lows and ends with a lesson about a military tool that just might surprise you! Plus how do you tell the difference between boredom and a sense of alienation!

In this minute, Preston finally has a chance to give Amanda The Letter! Will he be able to? Or will a recent encounter rear its enthusiastic head? This episode, I'm willing to bet, has the most instances of the word "meat-packing" per minute in a podcast. Someone find me one that beats it. Also, what is second cousins...mean?

In this minute, Amanda’s “friends” discuss who is hotter, her or Gwyneth, and are very proud of themselves for coming up with the perfect adjective to describe Mike. James and Erin discuss awkward times they’ve watched movies that show nudity.

In this Giant-Sized episode, we speculate about Amanda's friendship with the other Jock Girlfriends, her potential for a friendship with Denise, the temptation not to develop a personality if you are conventionally attractive, and also Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt and how this movie got right under the wire of making a reference to their breakup before Brad and Jennifer became America's OTP.

We spend a lot of time in this episode speculating about Denise and Preston's dating history and also what the writers do to tell us things about their comfort level with each other. Also, Seth Green is in this minute so we spend some time gushing over him. It's a quick minute, but there are some good discussions in the episode!

This episode is basically just a rundown of the actresses that play the jocks' girlfriends, but the really fun thing to wait for is when James's brain breaks part of the way through because all of the connections...they're too much!

This episode GOES places. We talk about 3 new characters, how this movie solves the "Long Duk Dong Problem", how long it was cool to refer to the Internet as "The Net"?, which was the most watched season of the X-Files?, which two actors in this movie are featured in the K.I.D.S. Incorporated video linked below?, plus James lays out an app idea that is going to take the world by storm once he finds someone that can, you know, write apps... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J78zkVeAR48 Theme Song: ...

Today we meet the as-yet-unnamed band, who are playing their first show at this party and are experiencing mixed degrees of professionalism about it. Due to the casting of the lead singer, we do go off on a bit of a tangent about the movie Road Trip. Also, Erin proves that her knowledge of All Things Jessica Simpson is more extensive than James realized.

Erin started editing this 17-minute episode at 9 am, and is just now finishing at 2:30 pm, because she foolishly thought maybe she could accomplish the editing while also helping 6- and 7-year-olds with virtual school. As a result, she doesn’t remember what was actually discussed in most of this episode, and in fact she’s pretty sure James specifically said “There’s the episode title” at one point and she just doesn’t remember what it was, but doesn’t have time to register for it, so let’s just ...

We continue our discussion of Barry Manilow, particularly the song “Mandy”, and meet two new characters: one played by a very talented actress who apparently isn’t usually an actress, and one played by an actress all you 90s kids will know quite well, as she probably explained it all to you when you were younger.

Today’s episode opens with the words “pleasure chest” and we aren’t sorry. (Well. Maybe a little sorry.) The rest of the episode is mostly about music, as Erin steals some of James’s research thunder as we discuss Barry Manilow and James attempts to research a non-Manilow song that doesn’t appear to exist outside of this movie.

Remember Starter jackets? Erin sure does, and she spends a good 5+ minutes making James talk about them even though they really have nothing to do with minute 11. Or the rest of the movie. Other talking points: If You See Jordan, Sharknado, time travel, and the fragrance of loooooove.

This is a long one, folks. That's because we have most of William's plan to talk about and also we have to spend a good long time gushing about how amazing Seth Green is. That's what most of the episode is, honestly. There's other stuff in there, of course. A recipe, a literary review, a song critique by Erin, and one of the best/worst puns ever uttered on any show we've ever done. So you see: It's worth the length. Enjoy!

It's time to get to know the third of our 4 principle characters: William. We've seen his yearbook situation, but what's his beef with Mike Dexter? He lays it out for us. Well, kind of. And his friends watch him do it. Another case of friends listening to their friend tell stories they've heard before, probably hundreds of times.

The jocks come up with a plan. Then we meet the nerds, who also have a plan, but we don't get to hear it yet. We make some connections between William and the cast of a certain Strange Netflix show.
