I'm back in the sticks! On this week's episode, myself and two of the boys from back home talk all things hick.

Recorded: October 19, 2020 On this week's episode, brace yourselves for what might be our worst episode to date! Peter & Will sit down to discuss the last two weeks in sports from Dak's brutal injury, to Boston sports fan's winning steak coming to an end, to the Lakers winning The Finals. We get into the Spooktober spirit by talking shit about candy corn, debating the most likely Halloween costumes of the year, and questioning what a Corona Halloween will be like. We end the episode with some brief advice for recent grads currently seeking employment as we find ourselves in the same boat. Stay Spooky!

Recorded: October 3, 2020 Finally... an episode that isn't 2 months old! The boys have a few too many drinks while attempting to record the first video podcast. We ramble about the first Presidential debate and all the associated political madness, discuss the current scene in the sports world, and ponder why people are so triggered. Hopefully, you can have a laugh or at least take a deep breath and chill the F out after listening!

Recorded: August 2, 2020 On this episode of This One's For You, Peter is joined by special guest Liam. The two discuss Liam's unique calling toward his studies and career that he's been passionate about since high school. Our conversation shifted toward the reopening of gyms during quarantine to the different reasons people actually go to the gym. The rest of the episode was not intended at all but our discussion on social norms in the gym brought us down the rabbit hole of the current political climate, why people need to learn to think for themselves, and how us two idiots could have a more civilized political conversation than our government. I'm confident that this episode will have something for you!

Recorded: July 23, 2020 On the second episode of This One's For You, Peter and Will discuss whether or not college is actually worth it in today's world. We weigh the pros and cons of both sides while also discussing why students feel pressure to pursue something they really could care less about. About halfway through the episode, we change up the mood with a Busch Light Apple review, talk sports being back, and wrap up with our college's plan for a fall semester with COVID.

Recorded: July 16, 2020 On the first episode of This One's For You, Peter and Will discuss what prevents people from pursuing their passions while also explaining why it took so long to start this one. We then transition to life in a quarantined world with regards to college, gyms, and going out. The back half of the episode includes a few too many tangents and how Barstool Sports is THE premier example of following a dream. All that and more for you.
