Six Pack and a Pod

Betting is legal in our state now and we're throwing down on the most dangerous game. Man Vs. Death (aka. Queen Reaper). We'll discuss the wonderfully long lives of several beautiful people. And the miserable existence of several others. Not for the faint of heart.    @sixpackandapod   sixpackandapod@gmail.com 347-927-2251

Let's talk about drugs baby, Let's talk about drug policy. Let's talk about drugs.", Baltimore is doing a real life Hamsterdam and we are here for it. In this episode we'll give you our personal experiences and the conversations we will have with our mini Us's. Drugs, man

We correct our mistakes and offer you a chance to redeem us by selecting your favorite 79. May your guy or girl be part of the new jingle. We also discuss the idea of an exclusive #sixpackandapod "challenge". Yes, it involves Kal Penn. Yes, it likely involves Pepto Bismol. 

Wherein we introduce the phone line. 347-927-2251. Whenever you call me, I'll be there. 34-79-Crack1. Whenever you want me, I'll be there. Sweetness-Largent-Crack1. Whenever you need me, I'll be there. Dip-Crack1. We'll be around.  I. Know. When. That. Hotline. Bling.    Olin Kreutz is not number 97. Shut up about it already.    Twitter: @sixpackandapod Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com Hotline: 1-347-927-2251

We recap the Big moment in annual football lore. But prior to all that we discuss your submissions to the Twitter question. Keep dropping your topic suggestions, and remember to rate & review.    Twitter: @sixpackandapod Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Come. Join us. As we discuss our evolution. This is YOUR kitchen. Wanna know what we think our Top 10 Stoner Movies are? Good! Cause we want to know yours.  This is also an origin story. 

In a return to form we take your suggestions and run with them. To the best of our ability. After we decipher what it is exactly you are saying of course. Everything from Freddy Krueger to Sam Malone and back to Brett Scallions. If you submitted, thanks for playing. As Always rate and review. @sixpackandapod

On our next stroll down 90s lane, we look back at the music that shaped our lives. All the Dr. Dre, TLC, and Sublime your cochlea can handle. Let us tickle yours with our first loves. Of music that is. Many of which were bought on cassette tape. For the kids out there, that was the way we listened to music before CDs. Oh shit, you dont actually know what CDs are either. Well, this was like physical media for music. Pre stream.

Who thought we could cram that influential of a decade into just one episode? Sit down. First things first, Decision time. No more “Cliffhangers”. Which year? You wont wont be disappointed. Then we’ll get into the rest of this underrated era of film-making and cover some of the best and some of our favorites. The two are not mutually exclusive. And hopefully before the exhaustion sets in we’ll decide who had the best decade in film.

Here we go. How much time you got for us to talk about quite possibly the greatest decade in Film-making? From a horror film dominating the Oscars, to a new beginning for the greatest franchise in history. But that’s not why you’re here. You want to know what we think. ‘93 or ‘94? Oh we’ll have that debate.

Was there a better time to be a fan of Chicago sports than in the 90s? Yeah! The Aughts! But the Aughts did not have Michael Jordan. Well, they did, but we dont talk about that. Lets celebrate the greatest team of the decade. Let’s talk the greatest sport of the decade. Is it Baseball, Football, Basketball? The answer may surprise you. Football had its Cowboys, and Baseball had its Steroids. Basketball had Jordan, the Dream Team, and that ‘96 draft. Ok, the answer may not surprise you.

So this was a last minute subject for us. Does this squeeze in to TV? Do we talk Films? The answer is yes. But mostly TV. Animated Series’ came into their own in the 90s. Hell, Spielberg was making cartoons. So its relevant. Growing up 90s these are what truly shaped us. The stories we learned and the voices who told them.

For our next installment of weaponized nostalgia we go with the other medium that consumed our pubescent years. The Video Game boom. From the original home gaming system of the 90s. The Super Nintendo. To the incredible evolution of the Playstation 1 and the Nintendo 64. We’ll break down some of the best games of the decade and gush on the ones that had a huge impact on our lives.

We were children in the 90s. Of course our first voyage is Toys. We’ll break down the top selling toys of each decade and share some personal experiences on a few of our own. Power Rangers. Check. Tomagotchi. Check. Pogs. Check. We’ll do some deep diving on the history of wrestling figures. Plus plenty of love for the phenomenon known as the X-men, and the weekly action figures released by Toy Biz.

Wherein we get balls deep on some activities that involve balls…and cleats.  Brian had to go play dad at home, so we slid @SMJuiceman across the table as we deep dive on the current state of sports and what is wrong and/or right with the NBA.  We spend 99% less time talking about LeBron James than ESPN does and you are welcome for that, no guarantees on Steph Curry though.  Does Adam Silver deserve to be elected to public office?  Does Kyle wish that he was a little bit taller?  Does Chris wish that he was a baller? As Duane “The Rock” Johnson once said, ”It doesn’t matter”…you’re going to listen regardless of what we type here.

Wherein we answer your question. If your question was “Does Six Pack and A Pod like to Chat Chit sports?” Answer: “Is Bob Kraft where he’s at today because he pays for tug jobs in Florida spas?” Yes. The answer is yes, we do. But we’re drafting some help from someone who literally gets paid to talk sports. See that. “Draft” is a football reference. Told you we knew our shit. Kyle Michalski(@SMJuiceman) is here to vent on many things Chicago Sports and his thoughts on the Big 3 Leagues. Sorry hockey and soccer. But we’ll also share some of our favorite moments in Chicago sports history. Discuss why none of us like Michael Jordan. HaHaHaHa, yeah right. Take some bets, play some what-ifs, and if we run a little long we’ll be back for Judgement Day.    Twitter: @sixpackandapod FB: Six Pack and a Pod Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein theories are conspired and assumptions are merely Swift gossip. We mess around a little with space and time. Twenty Nineteen, bitch. We stand by the new terms. So starts the next installment of possibly the next series. Would Spiro pardon Nixon? Which bullet was the actual assassination bullet? Was it just real smooth planning, or a real moon landing? Also, hate to be the ones to break it, but Paul’s still dead.  One quick detour on Boondock Saints, then back to the smoking gun. Many thanks to Mr. Patrick Bragg for joining us and bringing the tin foil hats. And as always, Play and Share.   Twitter: It’s Private! Gmail: Yeah Right,  Like we trust email.  Facebook: Hahahaha. Nice try, FBI. 

Wherein we discuss the future of the pod.  Hey! You remember us!? But not like worm hole future, cause we know that’s not possible...... Yet.  We also bore you with some December clean up. Yay, Christmas thingys! The Holidays are now over, the down time is here, and it’s water cooler question time.    What Six things would you wish you had on you* if you were to be stranded on a deserted** Island?    *as in, on your persons, could fit in a pocket, or maybe a small backpack etc...   **a Deserted Island. Not a Desert island. Nor a Dessert Island.    So come get stranded with us. And as always, share your thoughts.  Twitter: @sixpackandapod FB: Six Pack and a Pod Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we give you a quick origin story of the pod and then pay our respects to Stan Lee. The only way Six Pack and a Pod can. After a quick thought of John Wayne, we discuss the eagerly anticipated Death Match between Amazon and Wal-Mart. Happy Holidays! But hey, don’t underrate Thanksgiving! Actually, don’t overrate it either. Talk about an origin story. Ooh, that would make some good lyrics...   Twitter: @sixpackandapod   Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com   Facebook: Six Pack and a Pod

Wherein we cast our vote. Why? Because voting matters. Voting allows you to make a difference, have your voice heard, and make your favorite band play the songs you want to hear. Yup. That's right. Lucky Boys Confusion. One of our favorite bands, is doing a fan picked set list to celebrate their 21 year history of music making. So of course as an interactive podcast, which you guys know we strive to be, we love this idea. And we are here to help get out the word and Increase the voter turnout. While maybe convincing some of you to vote for a few of our personal favorites as well. So sit back, plug in, and for the sake of all that is good in this world. Vote.https://www.luckyboysconfusion.net/twenty-one-house-of-blues Find Us: Twitter: @sixpackandapodFB: Six Pack and a PodGmail: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we make some decisions. You know, people make decisions for all sorts of reasons. Decisions based on knowledge. Decisions based on facts. Decisions based on emotion. Decisions based on loyalty. Decisions based on nothing. Good Decisions and bad decisions. Tonight. We make a decision. We let Patrick Bragg (@Paddycakes1211) control the narrative. And there is no way we are embarking on this horrifying journey alone. We’re bringing Ty (@doc_t_wat) with us.    Twitter: @sixpackandpod FB: Six Pack and a Pod Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we peel back the curtain and introduce you to the other 1/4 that makes Six Pack and A Pod possible. We welcome South Viet Nam’s basketball sensation, and our CSO, Bruce Robinson (@buhruce). Bruce makes up 1/2 of our technical team, and also 1/2 of our combined talent. Speaking of, if you should require the needs of said technical team please DM us for a quote. Thanks again to all who participated via Twitter. And those who didn’t, you know, the drill. But back to our favorite listeners. Bruce answers all your hard driven questions. Why is Sidney Crosby such a whiney little bitch, despite being America’s Canadian Sweet Heart? What exactly does IT stand for?  What’s the best part of Chicago you can’t get in Seattle? Spoiler Alert, the answer ISN’T Tex-Mex. Your move Taco Johns. And while he’s here, our  CSO also joins the Deadpool in a very unique, and morbidly detailed way. And f### it, how bout that new Eminem album!???!   Twitter: @sixpackandapod   Facebook: Six Pack and a Pod   Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we rise from the grave and come for your brains. Not really. Well, kinda not really. We recap the first season of Six Pack and a Pod. Share our thoughts and favorites as well as some of yours. We lay out a very vague plan of future things to come. Roadcast, Special Guests... We also challenge you to play our Deadpool. But mostly we derail. We derail like a runaway train whose conductor has had a heart attack and neither Denzel, Chris Pine, or even Steven Seagal is there to stop it. Speaking of Steven. They really should make an Under Siege 3. We’re ready. Maybe set it on airplane, or a Tesla M3? Pencil in Chris Pine as the villain and bam, blockbuster. Oooh, set it in the Last Blockbuster Store. Chris Pine plays Jeff Bezos who has taken the store hostage until they sell it to him, so he can put a Whole Foods there, and SS goes undercover as an old martial arts has been who stocks shelves part time at a video store. So Method. ....Wait what were we talking about?

Wherein we welcome our very first guest ever, Adam Bogdan. Then we discuss who was inside our prepubescent spank banks. But also, Double Dare getting goopy Vs. Mark Summers, Vs. The WWF(E). Tickle Me Elmo’s and Sequels. The dawning of the World Wide Web and Microsoft making Apple an offer they couldn’t refuse. Jnco jeans and high speed car chases in white Broncos. Oh and a little moment known as the greatest draft in the history of the NBA.  Of course our favorite films, our favorite shows, and the music that shaped our lives, and made us the non-millennials* we are today. So get in the ring and get nostalgia bombed. This is Six Pack and a Pod Presents: The 90s. (Well, most of it).    *can not actually confirm whether or not we are millennials. I mean they change the criteria like every day.    sixpackandapod@gmail.com   @sixpackandapod

Wherein the sand line done groweth ever longer. Yeah, we debate more shit. First up. Which Rock, is the best Rock? (1:30). Is a hotdog a sandwich? (8:12). Spring or Fall (10:00). Comedy Vs. Drama (16:16). South Park or The Simpson’s (22:47). Festival or One Night Only (24:53).    Look Ma, I stamped it!    Follow/Email us at @sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we take a stand. We go down with our ship. We choose between Vanilla, Chocolate, or Strawberry. (*Courtesy of Saugatuck Brewing Neapolitan Milk Stout). We let you know whether we prefer a few at the bar, or a few more at home (in the kitchen). We reiterate whether we’d go to the past or the future (*recurring throwback topic theme). Podcasts or Music (while operating a motor vehicle). Andy Serkis Vs. Jim Henson (in a broader sense). Brick and Mortar Vs World Wide Web (all about them returns). Which Holiday is the Bestest Holiday (sit down Easter). And of course, the question that’s been dividing us all.    *take a drink   And join the conversation:   @sixpackandapod   sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we attempt to hang a clock by standing on our toilet. What would you do with Time Travel? Yes, kill baby Hitler. But after that. And what about the ramifications of killing baby Hitler? Hello, Butterfly Effect. Also, why are you murdering a baby you sick bastard?!? Would you Worm Hole or Black Hole? Is that a sexual question? Wow, we did not mean to say that. We totally respect your body. And you, of course! Dammit. Can we rewind? ..............maybe we can.    Drinking Along Game: (*drink for “Hitler”)   (**not like actually drinking FOR Hitler. We’re not monsters. We mean drink every time we mention that monster’s name)   Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com   Twitter: @sixpackandapod

Wherein we discuss building a Dream Bar. Queue doves... No limits. Well, gravity. No financial cap. I mean not Beyoncé rich. But maybe like, Jay-Z rich. Also along with the help of your votes and of course the excellent suggestions from @paddycakes1211, @mandrews41, @MvpJuiceMan, @FrankMcG, @rymar94. We take our industry knowledge and know how combined with all your collective alcoholism and construct the bar we shall all one day patronize.  Email and/or DM us your ideas.    Twitter: @sixpackandapod Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com Facebook: F### THE Facebook. 

Wherein we open our hearts (cheese), our souls (Lady Antebellum), our ...obsessions (Zac Efron, but actually more Miles Teller). Obviously, a few exquisite reality shows (you all do it too!). Pop and Rap and Rock is Dead. Now give, ah fuck it, just listen.    "It's on random"   @sixpackandapod sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we discuss Koji Kondo and brilliant game scores that have soundtracked our dreams and imaginations for a lifetime. Don't know who Koji Kondo is? Then you REALLY need to listen to this episode and stop being so millennially ignorant. I'm sorry. That was uncalled for. This isn't about you. It's about the Nintendo 64. The console we all had.* The console we all played.* Golden Eye? Duh. Games that end in 64? Duh. Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Team-Fortress? Duh. Wait... (Also, major hyphen abuse there). But we're getting off topic here. Let's get back to Mario. But more vaguely, the Nintendo 64.   *Can not confirm all of you have owned and/or played a Nintendo 64.

Wherein we do. And more importantly, all things surrounding it. From better rules for year end Coaching hires to lackluster movie trailers. We crack the mystery revolving around the cell phone kid from Justin Timberlake's halftime "performance". It was just...alright. Why Bruno Mars deserves more Grammys than Jay-Z. How Adam Levine is a closet guitar God and Rock is dead. Of course we do discuss this years crop of commercials while geeking out for a hard minute on David K Harbour's beauty. We take a few minutes to let you guys inside our homes for the big game. Oh, and we also football.    Twitter: @sixpackandapod   Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we discuss the 5th Generation of gaming consoles. A.K.A. The PlayStation 1. And yes, calm down, we know the Nintendo 64 was "technically" part of the 5th generation but it was a whole different ball game. And we'll get to the N64, so shut your rat hole for a second and let me finish. In this era was also the 3DO and the Sega Saturn. We do give one whole minute to each of those monstrously unsuccessful gaming platforms. So you're welcome for that. But let's face it, this was all about the PS1 (drink). We discuss our admiration, recognize the innovation, and obviously delve into the library of visualization, that is the Sony PlayStation.    Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com   Twitter: @sixpackandapod

Wherein we discuss what was LOST. Not familiar? Not surprising. Finally, your questions will have their answers. What exactly was......... Lost?    Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com   Twitter: @sixpackandapod   PayPal: *see email 

Wherein we construct the Six Pack And A Pod Deadpool. Yup. Still with us? Listen for the rules and by all means get in the game. All wagers can be made to the PayPal. Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com.  After the Pool we also take a few minutes to respond to a few of you guys who have been submitting and joining us on this "10" episode journey.    'You are appreciated' - Tupac/Six Pack And A Pod   Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com Twitter: @sixpackandapod Facebook: TBD

Wherein we discuss our favorite sequels of all time. The number two's of the film industry.  Both chronologically and often times metaphorically. They're shit. Why do you insist I spell it out for you people? We'll run down a list of our fav's, and after a humble 70 minutes, lock in our topical Top 5. Join us on a journey through Hollywoods most iconic classics, from '22 Jumpstreet' to 'Bill and Teds Bogus Journey'.  We'll leave no sequel left unturned. Except of course for the many, many, we forget to mention. As always, don't hesitate to elaborate on your favorites. And with a mailbag episode just around the corner, we look forward to your 500 words on T2. Sit back, pour a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau and drink along. And this time, bring a spotter.   Email: sixpackandapod@gmail.com. Twitter: @sixpackandapodFacebook: TBD

Then Tweet us:  @sixpackandapod.   For those of you with Facebook, email us at sixpackandapod@gmail.com. 

Wherein the War for the 16 bit era is waged and decided by 2 guys (and a producer) who genuinely love both systems. Super Nintendo Vs. Genesis you say? Nay, says we. Doth both not inspire? Are we not all gamers? No more division! Let's join ALL our rings and come together as one. Listen and we shall walk you to the promised land. Mortal Kombat? Street Fighter? BOTH! So grab your drink. Grab your game. Grab your.....Well, just listen.  @sixpackandapod. sixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we decided to let you pick the next episode topic that became our first series. That series is Old School Video Games. And this is Episode 1. We'll spin nostalgia on what video games mean to us and obviously a selection of our favorites. First 'sode is 8 bit so we'll be discussing the NES and, well more NES. Come on. As with all episodes, drink along, and share your favorites. Whether they're Maniac Mansion or not.@sixpackandapodsixpackandapod@gmail.com

Wherein we discuss our lifelong love of Live Music. Who we've seen, where we were, and how we got there. All while still managing to take shots at Bono and Dave Grohl along the way. Nietzsche said "A live show isn't just about live music, it's about an experience". So here's a taste of ours. 

Wherein we discuss who we were then compared to who we are now. Obviously. From the glitz and the glamour to the structure and conformity. If you're not sure what that means, you're not tall enough to ride. Grow up, Peter Pan! Or, let us lay it out for you. Grab a beer, get cozy, get schooled. "Drinking Along Game" attached to the Twitter (@sixpackandapod). Queries to sixpackandapod@gmail.com.
