Akiva starts off this week’s episode by trying to commit Alex to attending the RHAP afterparty in New York next week.

Topics covered this week include: […]

Who is the greatest living American? This is the question Akiva & Alex try to tackle in this week’s episode, in which they introduce an NCAA-style bracket featuring 68 contenders for this prestigious honor.

Akiva lists his top ten movies of 2015, Alex argues that TV is better than movies, and the guys get into a big argument about whether Akiva should have thought that Alex saw the premier of 99 Homes (skip to 30:00 to jump right to the fight). Alex also accuses Akiva of recycling podcast jokes […]

Later […]

Akiva and Alex experiment with a new format, recording a podcast live on a new app called ZCast. Thanks to some technical difficulties only a few diehards stay through to the end, but those that do get to hear a lot of Andy Reid mockery, Tom Brady deification, and predictions for the entrants to the […]

Alex is too depressed to host a podcast this week … or to correctly set up his fancy new microphone. Akiva steps in to pinch hit as host, but his voice is deeper than usual (making him even better looking, according to Alex’s wife) thanks to a cold. Rather than discussing the Vikings game, Akiva tries to […]

Alex and Akiva are back and better late than never.

This week Akiva & Alex rank the week 13 games from 16 to 1 in order of excitement. The podcast gets off to a rough start because Akiva isn’t paying attention.

Alex ranks the teams from 1-32 in terms of how interesting the remainder of their schedule is (spoiler alert: the Niners and Browns are must-miss TV), and Akiva chides Alex for a bit of homerism.
