Friends With Boredom

The boys are joined by Stephen Cameron, host of the Orlando Magic based podcast "The Close Up Magic"The trio discuss the heartbreak of being a sports fan, the current state of the Orlando Magic, and then wrap up the episode with a RIDICULOUS rapid fire question session for Stephen.

Chris and Jonathan run another solo episode. This episode the dynamic duo discuss what has transpired in the six weeks since their last episode, the tragic passing of Jason David Frank, and then the play of future hall of fame quarterback Mike White.

Our friend and also world famous, super prestigious Twitch Streamer, PestoGawd, joins the show. We talk about what drives Pesto to do what he does, how he linked up with Rolling Stone, then we end the episode by drafting our favorite video games of all time!

Jonathan and Chris begin the interview by creating new names for themselves. Then Jonathan has an EXCLUSIVE interview with the guy who hacked Rockstar Games and leaked footage of Grand Theft Auto 6. Chris ends the episode with some talk about the New York Jets.

A VERY SPECIAL EPISODE INDEED. Jonathan and Chris discuss their thoughts on Impossible Burgers, the NBA draft, and then have a short interview with NBA player Paolo Banchero

Kevin King returns. No topics, just vibes. Definitely NSFW though

Grant Whiteoak from the band Heart To Gold joins the show to discuss how he went from closeted guitarist to full blown front man for Heart To Gold, the bands origin story, their newest record "Tom" and of course we wrap things up with some pizza talk.

Es Baraheni joins and discusses The Batman (coming to HBO Max April 18th), NBA Rookie of The Year candidates, and NBA Playoff predictions!

Its a loaded episode this week! Luke Smith returns and elaborates on why and how his last name became "Smith", we also talk about his disdain for American Football, the first major events each of us remember, and then we draft our five favorite songs from when we were in high school

Pat Shehu joins Chris and Jonathan in a discussion about the Orlando Magic, the New York Knicks, NBA 2k AND most importantly PIZZA

Our longtime Joshy Singer (Former Vocalist for Blessing A Curse) joins the show and talks with Jonathan about the mysterious wonder that is Wallodene Pouchie, we also talk a bit about the Bioshock video game trilogy, what it was like working at Chipotle and various other nonsensical tidbits.

Wyatt Alan returns to the show and we somehow find a way to segue a talk about masturbation into a full blown philosophical discussion about religion. Simple enough.

This episode starts with a solo rant from Jonathan. Emotions were raw after the Orlando Magic traded away Vucevic and Jonathan does a deep dive into that before expressing confusion over the appeal of country music. After that, Chris joins in and he and Jonathan breakdown 90's post-hardcore music. 

Our friend The Viking returns to talk about the long awaited Snyder Cut of The Justice League. We discuss the events that lead to the disastrous 2017 cut of the film and what transpired in the years leading up to this brand new directors cut of the film. We also talk a bit about The Viking's interview with Zack Snyder, what's next for the Snyderverse, and we dabble very briefly on the original green power ranger, Jason David Frank. 

NBA TOPSHOT FEVER HAS TAKEN OVER! This week we are joined by Adam Papageorgiou, relatively new expert on all things related to TopShot, and our friend and fellow Close-Ip Magic contributor, Wyatt Alan. So obviously we talk TopShot, but we diver a bit into Mario Hezonja's warm welcome in Greece, and the insight (or lack there of) provided by TNT's Inside The NBA crew. 

Chris and Jonathan are joined by the nicest guy on the planet, Joshy Singer. We talk about a million and one things, including him going viral on Tik Tok, present day Pokemon cards,  then Chris and Josh try to sell Jonathan on  Anime, and finally we end the episode with our favorite fictional villains draft

In a VERY basketball heavy episode, Jabari Davis joins in to provide insight on the James Harden trade, the Kyrie situation in Brooklyn and what Houston should be doing in the short term . We then transition into our first ever draft, this week the guys draft their favorite hip hop beats ever.

Its our first solo episode in like 3 years. Exciting, right? On this episode Jonathan and Chris talk about Mimi Rogers explicit nude scene in the 1995 film "Full Body Massage" and then follow that up with some talk about the current state of affairs for the New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic. The guys finish the episode raving about the technological eye gasm that is Dolby Vision. 

Recorded the day before Jonathan lost his job, so its taken a few weeks to get this episode out there. This week we talk to Star Wars and Spiderman super fan, Trey Mitchell, about MCU's Spider-Man 3 (a live action spider verse?!), Warner Bros releasing their 2021 slate onto HBO Max, and then we shift to a bit of NBA talk

Brian Roesler returns! And this time we dive ever so lightly into the NBA Finals and Jonathan's disdain for Tyler Herro, we then allow Brian to discuss at length why Robocop is a great film that has themes that are still prevalent today, and lastly we talk about the Deftones newest album and we try to sell Chris on actually listening to them.

Our friend Charles returns to the show to discuss the Before Sunrise trilogy. Not much more to say than that...well...except maybe that this very well could be our most absurd episode yet!

Another geeky epsidoe coming your way. We swear we're not trying to typecast ourselves! This episode we are joined by Shawn (or maybe Shaun? or perhaps Sean?) from Movies That Maher w/ The Viking. Like Jonathan, our friend The Viking is a big Batman fan and is a big part of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut community, so naturally with the release of the new Justice League trailer and of course the EPIC teaser for Matt Reeves "The Batman" we knew we had to bring this guy on. Its a very Batman heavy episode afterall. We hope you guys enjoy!

This episode gets a bit nerdy because we are joined by Chris Killian (comedian and host of Daily Distraction on comicbook.com). Jonathan and Chris go back 13+ years and we talk about Chris's beginings as a comedian, his relationship with the late and great Greg Giraldo, and how he transitioned into what he does now with comicbook.com. We also discuss BATMAN, specifically the news of Michael Keaton returning to the role after 30 years, whether or not we'll see Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in Multiverse of Madness (Doctor Strange) or possibly Into The Spider-Verse 2, the future of Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal in their respective roles as Daredevil and The Punisher. We end the convo with a brief chat about Todd McFarlane and the future of Spawn.

This is a very Australia-centric episode BECAUUUSEEE we are joined by Jonathan's Magical Boogaloo co-host and Australia native Luke Smith! We talk a bit about rugby/aussie rules football, what makes Andrew Bogut a POS, various Australian foods and slangs (is cunt really all that shocking of a word? NO) and we dive into Blink-182's Dude Ranch (which just celebrated its 23rd birthday)

Episode 6 is FINALLY here. This time we are joined by our friend Neil aka Neezy aka yosoywitit aka PestoGawd. We talk about the upcoming console wars (PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X), how exactly the NBA will return, our countries response to the Covid pandemic and of course it wouldn't be an episode of FWB if we didn't discuss food in some capacity.

This week we are joined by our good friend Kevin King. He's got nothing to promote, obviously. He's just a regular dude. We talk about his tattoos, the time we got caught vandalizing and of course why he didn't make time for Jonathan when he visited Florida.

Wow. Jeff Sahyoun from Letlive joins us this week. That's pretty cool, huh? Jeff talks about how he came to be a part of letlive, the recording process for Fake History, the breakup of the band and whether or not we'll get a reunion. We also talk about what he's involved in today (helping in the creative process for Hyro The Hero, running his own recording studio AudioBakery, and his work in progress solo album)

It took awhile to release (sorry, I haven't had time to edit!) but Brian Roesler has returned from the pisser to continue his conversation with us about our favoite films of the last decade. We also talk about the resurgence of Keanu Reeves (aka The Keanussance) and our love for post-hardcore music (Hello, Glassjaw and Thursday)

This week we present part one of chat with Brian Roesler (Co-Host of The Illegal Screen podcast & also a contributor for treblezine.com). We talk about many things on this episode, but mostly our favorite films of the decade. This episode ran very long so we cut into two parts. We'll release part 2 towards the end of this month.
