"Strictly" Conversational with Bailey and Noah

In the exciting conclusion to last week's episode, join Bailey and Noah as they discuss the worst that horror has to offer with their good buddy Garrett McDowell -- But that's not all! The boys are taking advantage of the one and only time Garrett will EVER be on this podcast as they dive deep into their thoughts on the 2022 Oscars, as well as a brand new segment: "Domestic Disputes," where Bailey and Noah air out their dirty laundry just for you, the listener, and they duke it out until one's argument reigns the winner!

Boy, horror movies these days sure are scary... Or they're sad? Or they're introspective? Or the monster under the bed was a metaphor for the crippling fear of losing a loved one the whole time??? Maybe that's the most terrifying thing of them all! This week, Bailey and Noah are joined by their good friend and resident horror expert Garrett McDowell on a quest to discover what it is that makes an effective message behind all the ghouls, ghosts, killers, and creeps of the thriller flicks that we know and love... or hate.

In today's episode, it's Noah's turn to bring one topic to the Strictly Conversational table... instead, he brought three questions! Have you ever wondered how much crime the S.C. Boys have gotten up to in their short life on this earth? Or maybe you're more interested in hearing their biggest pet peeves of all time?? OR MAYBE, you'd like to find out what would happen if Bailey and Noah started a band??? Tune in to this week's episode where they talk about all those and even a little bit more in this very-special, fully-organized, not-lazy-at-all three-part discussion!

On March 4th, in the year of our Lord (Kermit the Frog) 2022, the world was introduced to possibly the greatest on-screen adaptation of Batman ever... At least, Bailey and Noah seem to think so. That's why this week, they decided to make an entire episode about not only this game-changing film, but also pay homage to the rest we've seen come before to find out who's the Darkest Knight of them all in a completely subjective tier list! And yes, Strictly Conversational lore dictates that Kermit the Frog is in fact the Alpha and Omega, Yahweh, Abba-Daddy. That's just canon.

We're all good at some things, some of us are good at many things, and others are great at just a few things. Bailey is great at hosting this show, and, well, Noah is good at coming up with the episode titles. E-got, like "he got"... Don't tell Noah that it's not that clever, otherwise, you might bruise his ego! This week, your favorite duo is talking about exactly that: Sometimes failure can teach you a thing or two, but when your pride gets busted up, how do you cope with something you can't learn much more about? Whether it's Noah's baked cod recipe or Bailey's Nathan Detroit, the boys are gonna figure it out with their humility intact. Well, somewhat intact.

The boys are back!... Again! It's the comeback of the century - Nay, the comeback of the decade - Nay, the comeback of the year... You get the idea. This week, Bailey and Noah are putting cinema social media under the microscope as they discuss the question, "is Letterboxd ruining how we watch movies?" Tune in to this week's episode to find out if this app is fostering thoughtful and civil debate, or if its users are boxed in to a world of spite and judgment. Whew, that sounds pretty heavy.

In 5 years' time, a lot is going to change. Dogs will be driving cars, cell phone chargers will grow on trees, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will certainly be President of the United States... But one thing remains uncertain: Will Bailey and Noah still be making this podcast in their free time?? The boys are back with a brand new episode, and this week's topic: "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" We dive into the implications of this question to see if goals really are attainable, if expectations are too much for society, and if Noah will ever be hired by Chili's. If it means a lifetime of Chicken Enchilada Soup, he's gonna have to try his hardest.

Bailey and Noah have returned to their antics... and by antics, we mean strictly conversating about anything and everything. This week, your boys are back with a brand new format and the same spunky attitudes, and we're talking about Nickelodeon's The Legend of Korra, Pixar's Soul, and Sony's The Mitchell's vs The Machines, and how animation studios successfully (or unsuccessfully) reach all ages. Was it worth the wait? Tune in and see for yourself! But don't tell us it wasn't worth it, we can't handle that kind of criticism today. Let us down easy.

Face it, we all know you'd prefer to drown your coffee in the Frenchiest of Vanilla creamers instead of taking it black, but do you really like straight bean water or are you just saying that? Does anybody really like anything, or are they just saying they do to be quirky? This week, we compile a list of all the things most people would like to say they like, but may be lying about what they like to... like. You know?

For an episode about ketchup, we talked an awful lot about mayonnaise -- among other things! Like what we've been up to for the last few weeks; our ups and downs, our movie habits, how someone broke the door to our room... oh, now I get it. Ketchup, catch-up, homophones, the whole shabang. Join us for the first inaugural episode of season 2, the first inaugural episode of 2021, and the first inaugural episode of the Condiment Conversational Podcast all rolled up in one!

The "year in review" that no one asked for, brought to you by yours truly. 2020 was dominated by pain, but that doesn't mean that people stopped being good and making good things. Let's talk about our favorite media of the year as we close out 2020, and Season 1 of the Strictly Conversational Podcast - together.

It's mid-November, the air is only partially chilly, and you haven't quite felt a craving for a cup of hot cocoa yet - that can only mean one thing... it's Christmastime in America! Or at the very least, it's Christmastime in the Strictly Conversational household. This week, Bailey and Noah are hanging up their stockings and wearing matching pajamas as they prepare for the Christmas season by talking about the best and worst things about the holidays. So sit back, turn on your hour-long fireplace video, and enjoy the episode!

No one said it better than Master Yoda himself in Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, but maybe two dudes in a closet can break down what it really means to fail in life, and whether or not failure really is the end... Maybe it's just the beginning. In this week's episode, Bailey, Noah, and Noah's tube of Fruit Punch Crystal Light talk about all of the things that have knocked them down in life, and all the reasons they've had to get back up.

You ever heard the old adage, "they don't make em' like they used to"? Well, in this episode, Noah, Bailey, and special guest Brady Bouldin compare animated classics like 1995's Toy Story to cinematic gems like Ice Age 5: Collision Course, Angry Birds 2, and don't even get us STARTED on Minions 7: President Minion. So sit back, grab your Sno Caps, shut those bratty, babysitting kids up for 85 minutes, and enjoy the show!

If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile, if you like to waltz with potatoes, up and down the produce aisle... Have we got an episode for you! This week, we're talking about one of our favorite long-standing animated Christian TV series of all time. Well, pretty much the only long-standing animated Christian TV series. We'll be discussing how Veggietales has impacted us morally and spiritually, and why these seemingly simple lessons really are the bread and butter of the best sides of us.

Someone's been stealing Bailey's straws his whole life. Domino's pizza is overrated, and you can take that to the bank. The American government is broken, we think? We've dedicated various amounts of time to all of that and more! In this week's episode, we talk about all the things that you, dear listeners, have suggested as possible episode topics. We hope you enjoy listening to us crack open the proverbial mailbag of ideas that came from your very own craniums, for which we are eternally grateful!

In this episode, Noah and Bailey talk to their good friend Sam about their natural, God-given athleticism and the difficulties of being such good bros... Just kidding. We spend time breaking down societal expectations of manliness and how we've coped with never really fitting in because of super-imposed gender norms. We hope you enjoy this fun and insightful conversation about being a "man" and the timelessness of Glee.
