Seinfeld Challenge Podcast

Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter

We're back this week to talk about the news. We rehash old arguments about Donald Trump, plus Colin Kaepernick and getting fired for bad thoughts. 

This week we discuss pizza delivery, the job that brought Matt and Steve together back in the year 2000. We talk about our respective histories as pizza deliverers, what we loved about the job, and the behind-the-scenes secrets only former pizza people know about.

By request, we discuss our top cartoon movies.

This week we talk about our pets, alive, dead and soon to be dead (maybe). Our pets have been us since college, through moves, new homes, new wives, and children. We talk the highs and lows of living with beasts. Matt reflects fondly, but Steve warns: don't get pets. 

Sorry for being late. Last week Matt and I talked about food, getting fat, and getting old. We spent half of this show talking about Donald Trump too, so be warned. 

This week we examine the list of top baby names for 2016. We talk about the good and the bad on that list, and about naming in general. Matt explains the pain of having a first name for a last name. Steve is mad at people who ask him if it's Steve or Steven.

Part 3 of our Seinfeld vs. Friends mini-challenge. We pick the best episode between the two shows and tackle the toughest question of all, which of these two shows is better? Thanks Josh, we hope to collaborate again soon. 

This week we talk about the exciting world of game shows. We give our top 5 game shows and marvel at their ability to keep people tuning in day after day, often for decades. 

This week we talk about the best beat 'em up movies from the 1980s. We love the death and destruction.

We are back this week for Part 2 of our Seinfeld vs. Friends mini-challenge. This week we'll complete the right side of the bracket and get down to our 6 finalists. 

This week we talk about the top cartoons from our youth, and some from today. We rank our top cartoons from Saturday morning and weekday afternoons. We remember goofy characters and fun theme songs. If your cartoon "black hole" was 1983 to 1990, this show may not be for you. 

This week is part 1 of a Friends vs. Seinfeld mini challenge, with special guest host Josh. We compete the best Seinfeld and Friends episodes against each other. Plus special topics Golden Girls, Kansas, chalk art. A very special episode!

This week we talk about video games. We give our top 5s and talk about games and consoles of today and yesterday. 

This week we talk about libertarianism, the political philosophy popular with 2% of America. In the year 2000, we were two libertarian pizza delivery drivers. We talk about those old days and how our views have changed since then. 

This week we celebrate 5 years of podcasting by talking about our favorite podcasts. We take turns running down our top 5 past and present.

This week we talk about music. We talk about our favorite bands from our past and present, and the role of music in our lives. 

Sorry about this one. We'll do better next time.

This week we talk about our jobs. We talk about what our jobs are and how we got them. We talk about valuable lessons learned and attempt to impart wisdom to any youth who might be listening. 

Our year end review! We talk about a bunch of things that happened in 2016 and make some predictions for 2017. 

This week's show is based on a listener request. We talk about our travels in the US and abroad. We talk about the best and worst places in the United States. Plus, a special tribute.

This week we talk about being dads. They say kids will "change your life" and we talk about what that really means. Plus, stopping your kid from hating you, can it be done? And, how to raise a boy for a boy's world.

This week we talk about our hometown of Cleveland, Ohio and the teams who play there. The "timeline of terror" has forked in recent years, with the Cavs and Indians rising to great heights and the Browns sinking deeper than anybody thought possible. We talk about the past and present of all three teams, and about what it means to live and love sports in Cleveland. 

This week we talk about Facebook and Twitter, the good and bad (mostly bad). Have these technologies made the world a better place? We say no.

This week we talk about TV, what we're watching, how we're watching it, and how things have changed since 1979.

We are back after a long hiatus to talk about the presidential election. We may never do another "Challenge" podcast, but we still like getting together and talking about things, so we thought we'd record it and put it online for the three or four people who might like to hear it. If that's not you, we understand. 

Thanks everybody!

Round 3 comes to a close with the best episodes of the final two seasons. Join us and our special guest judge as we decide the final Round 3 winner and prepare for Round 4.

Round 3 continues! This week we have three episodes filled with late season wackiness. These episodes don't impress our guest judge, but one of them has to win.

Our biggest Round 3 battle yet features the best episodes of Seasons 5 and 6. With the help of our special guest judge, we decide which episode belongs in Round 4.

Round 3 continues with three great episodes from Season 4! This was the season about something, with Bubble Boy and Contest paving the way to the big Pilot season finale. Only one can win and advance to the final round.

Round 3 is here! It took 88 Round 1s and 15 Round 2s, but we're finally here! Now we begin our in-depth look at the 15 best Seinfeld episodes spread across the 9 seasons. Round 3 begins with our earliest champions from Seasons 1-3. These are all fantastic episodes, but only one can win and advance to Round 4. 

Our final Round 2 episode is here! On to Round 3!

This week we discuss the hour long final episode of Seinfeld. Good or bad, this one will advance to Round 2. But we think it's good!  What do you think?

Our last competitive Round 1 contest! Only the finale is left.

Our third to last Round 1 episode! The Bookstore vs. The Frogger. Jerry rats on Uncle Leo and George tries to return a bathroomed book. Then the Lopper stalks the streets of New York and George tries to preserve his greatest achievement. 

Only four more Round 1 episodes to go! Tonight we cover some ok Season 9 shows. In the Wizard, we get jokes about old people and how they go to bed early. In the Burning, we get Kramer and Mickey. Plus other things.

Two Season 9 episodes go head to head. This week's episodes feature a woman who looks like Jerry, and Kathie Griffin. Also, Elaine confronts the New Yorker and Kramer and Jerry dig up a bird.

It's Round 2!

Two episodes face off. One will win.

Happy Festivus everyone!

We're back with another episode of the SCP! This week, we continue with Season 9. Kramer tries to quit the mail, then sets up a talk show set in his own apartment. George dates his cousin. Elaine dumps Puddy for the Wiz. And lots more!

What is this? 

Two more good ones.

This week we begin the final season of Seinfeld. It's the Butter Shave vs. The Voice, two pretty good episodes. We discuss these, and ponder our next move.

Round 2!

The last two episodes of Season 8 go head to head. Our last episode before the next Round 2!

It's the Yada Yada vs. the Millennium, discuss!

In this week's episodes: Elaine hates the English Patient, George tries to out-Neil Neil. Then he builds a shelf under his desk to sleep, and Kramer swims in a river.

Things are looking up this week with two better episodes. First Elaine and "Suze" get in trouble with Peterman, while Jerry breaks Mike Moffit's thumbs. Then Kramer adopts a mile of highway and Elaine tries to order Supreme Flounder.
