In "Oh, Me" Kurt Cobain asks, "Would you like to hear my voice...sprinkled with emotion?" Yes, we definitely would Kurt. And we'd love to talk about it. Speaking of emotional, 1994 is the year Pete and Brad graduated from high school. More emotional yet, they welcome fellow 94 grad and very special guest The Giff into the fold for this first of a four part MEGAepisode! Learn about their last days in high school and their thoughts on the brilliant, and unfortunately, final Nirvana album: MTV Unplugged in New York. Kurt left it all on the table with that performance. We try to do the same here. So listen to this episode and sprinkle yourself with some emotion.

This is it!! This is the 100th time we've done this. To commemorate, we are talking about maybe the most perfect film ever made: Three Amigos! OK, maybe it isn't perfect, but to us, it encapsulates so much about who we are and what has influenced us that it is the perfect choice for this occasion. From Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short to cameos from Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman to El Guapo to Santa Poco to the music of Randy Newman, this movie has everything. Oh, and it came out when we were 10 years old in 1986, the perfect time to hit us just right.
In addition to covering every aspect of this classic, we also share our favorites episodes to share with you so far in the first 100 AND we share the top 5 things we were excited to show our kids as they were growing up. This is a jam-packed episode!
If you are a regular listener or even checking us out for the first time, we can't thank you enough. Thank you for indulging our silly thoughts and jokes.

The second episode of 2009 sees the PCY gang breaking out of their general routine. While we are obviously pop culture fans first and foremost, we also love all the sports. Growing up in Minnesota, we have been huge fans of the Vikings all our lives. In part 2 we want to share the agony and (near) ecstasy we have experienced over and over because of this unfortunate passion. 2009 was the year public enemy #1 Brett Favre joined forces with the purple and led one of the most memorable seasons in the franchise’s long and sordid history. Because of the presence of Fav-ruh and about a million other reasons, this season was ripe for discussion.

But there is so much more to the history of the Vikings. We don’t only cover 2009. We share our personal Vikings’ Mount Rushmores and rank the teams from our lifetimes that coulda, shoulda, woulda won that elusive Super Bowl. Tears will be shed, anger will be released, and some joy will be had, just never the ultimate joy a sports fan longs for. This is the tragic tale of a Minnesota sports fan. (But the sound is better! So we got that going for us...which is nice.)

Now that you know all about Minnesota, it's time for some fun. The next three weeks are all guests and games. This episode focuses on movies filmed in or related to Minnesota. For this one, Giff has created a brilliant spinoff of the initials game made famous by our local radio station KFAN.
To challenge Brad and Pete, we've got three other contestants. You already know Dave. He's back! But so is Brian Rappe from our Office Space episode! Then we have newcomer Chris. He'll tell us about his pop culture influences before things get heated as we all face off for the pride of being #1.

Rounding out 2020 is yet another great Tv show that helped Brad through the pandemic: Ted Lasso. The first season of this AppleTV series was one of the greatest single seasons in television history. You can't help but fall in love with the characters and the messages in each episode. This is all Brad's opinion of course.
Pete and Giff have now been watching as well. Do they agree? Will there be friction in the PCY universe? We focus on the first three episodes as a basis for out chat. After sharing all the Lasso-isms, we finish by ranking our favorite TV shows of 2020 overall. I would not bet on loving this episode...unless you want to win a buttload of money!
