I Don't Get It: Mixed Martial Arts

Men (and women) meet in the octagon to hurt each other using MIXED MARTIAL ARTS, but in spite of Noah’s avowed fandom of wrestling and Bill’s yellow-bellied cowardice, they just can’t get down with bloodsport. @noahandbillshow -- @williamscurry -- @noahtarnow 00:00 -- Introduction, and What is a MMA? 12:25 -- How do you reconcile the violence outside the MMA ring? 15:10 -- Why is MMA so popular? 18:54 -- Would you have liked MMA if you were a kid? 21:56 -- Is MMA a sign of the apocalypse? 24:34 ...

I Don't Get It: Lana Del Rey

LANA DEL REY is a sad ghost who sings as if her top lip is numb, and for some reason she endures. Noah and Bill get into it as only two middle-aged men far out of her demo could possibly cover the topic. @noahandbillshow -- @williamscurry -- @noahtarnow 00:00-14:17 -- Introduction, and Who is Lana Del Rey? 14:33-20:57 -- Why is Lana Del Rey so popular? 21:11-22:42 -- Would you have liked Lana Del Rey if you were a kid? 22:56-27:41 -- Is Lana Del Rey a sign of the apocalypse? 27:55-30:39 -- Is yo...

I Don't Get It: A Cappella

A CAPPELLA is a instrument-free form of pop music that Bill Scurry hates but Noah Tarnow goes to bat for.

I Don't Get It: Electronic Dance Music

If there’s one thing you can be sure about it’s that punk-rock Noah Tarnow isn’t having anything to do with ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC, but Bill Scurry might surprise you with his long affinity for synthetic music. @noahandbillshow – @williamscurry – @noahtarnow 00:00-15:26 -- Introduction, and What is EDM? 15:39-19:25 -- Why is EDM so popular? 19:38-25:51 -- Would you have liked EDM if you were a kid? 26:02-29:10 -- Is EDM a sign of the apocalypse? 29:21-34:10 -- Is your irrational hatred of EDM ba...

I Don't Get It: Jimmy Fallon

Noah Tarnow and Bill Scurry talk about JIMMY FALLON, the most recent host of “The Tonight Show.” We puzzle over the meteoric rise of a slight comedic talent, how Lorne Michaels came to realize something about what Fallon’s future might hold for him, and what Fallon’s ascendance means to the landscape of culture.

I Don't Get It: Hearthstone

Noah Tarnow and Bill Scurry talk about HEARTHSTONE, a video game thingie from the people who brought you WORLD OF WARCRAFT. This is actually a digital-type thing which resembles the card-based games we all love, like POKEMON and MAGIC. Will Noah get it? Will Bill champion something else that has a goddamn orc in it? (Note: We apologize for the audio on Noah’s side, we were having connection issues this week.) 0:00-12:36 -- Introduction, and What is Hearthstone? 12:47-18:27 -- Why is Hearthstone ...

I Don't Get It: Rae Sremmurd

Noah Tarnow and Bill Scurry talk about RAE SREMMURD, the duo behind the theme to the 2016 Mannequin Challenge.
