Banter Bootcamp Again

This is an episode from the old Banter Bootcamp. Previously released on 3/6/2020. It's probably obnoxious. 

Sam saves his dog's life. West Ham vs. Liverpool. And some other stuff.

**previously recorded on 1/4/2020** Sam and Dave begin by discussing new business opportunities because work sucks. Change is so hard! "Self-confidence is the fantasy". Deep dish vs. thin and crispy pizza. Then the convo turns to music as it tends to do. After some anger directed towards record flippers for money, the guys dig into some local Maine music. The release of Rustic Overtones' classic album "Rooms by the Hour" on vinyl sparks a realization of how great the music scene in Maine was and maybe still is? Rustic, Brown Bird, Spose, Sidecar Radio, Amy Allen, Ghost of Paul Revere, WCYY, Mark Curdo, Spinout, the nurturing of Maine talent and taking care of our own.

We have a new home! Liverpool goes to Old Trafford and embarrasses Manchester United, playoff baseball, The Beatles, Adele, and Alec Baldwin.

**previously recorded on 11/24/2019** This week, the guys are forced to take their show on the road. Sam tells Dave about the most depressing documentary he's ever seen, and Dave tries to convince Sam that Dwayne Johnson is one of our best actors.

Are we assholes? Dave Chappelle's new special. R. Kelly, SNL, SHIBA INU coins, sports cards, Super Bowl Halftime show, James Bond, The Rock raps, Sopranos, Squid Games, Facebook and Instagram go down. 

**previously recorded on 11/17/19**   The boys are back in town ladies and gentlemen! And it sounds like they're starting to go a little bit crazy.   This week: Todd Barry live in Portland, Sam's most embarrassing date, and Dave trying to explain to Sam how tipping in the service industry works.   …and lots of stupid jokes.

The guys are watching Arsenal vs. Tottenham.  Some Premier League discussion.  Sam and his bro “Save the Bees” RIP Norm MacDonald and the state of comedy.  Dave gets Sam's thoughts on a few things.    

Every so often, we will release an episode of the original Banter Bootcamp that ran 10/6/19 to 6/1/20. They will come at random and out of order. Hope you enjoy! Flashback to 3/30/20 (was Episode #61 and recorded on 3/8/20) No clue what's talked about on this episode but it's probably ridiculous and makes us sounds stupid!

The guys catch up while they watch Liverpool vs. Leeds live!  Kanye vs Drake. Donda vs. Certified Lover Boy. Dave's nervous for kindergarten. Sam meets a new friend while flying.  Can you help someone without helping yourself? Tottenham takes a beating.   

Every so often, we will release an episode of the original Banter Bootcamp that ran 10/6/19 to 6/1/20. They will come at random and out of order. Hope you enjoy! Flashback to 12/18/19 (was Episode #12)... Surprise episode here! This is the one where Sam tells stories while being unnecessarily contemptuous. What was that noise in Gray the other night? Why do some cover songs sound terrible? Christmas music sucks. The real back story of Banter Bootcamp comes to light. Both Dave and Sam come to grips with no longer being good at what they used to be great at. This and much more from this extra, free, special, exclusive, extraordinary, unique, rare, and significant episode!   

RIP Music. Long Live Banter. Sam and Dave explain their recent absence. Quick Legacy review on The Prodigy: The Fat of the Land. Woodstock 99 on HBO Max. Premier League is Back.
