Banter For All

Enter Sand Men… for a good night banter! In this sleepy show, the Mike makes the case for sleeping on the floor erry night, Rustin get flabberghasted at black and white dreams and Justin wants to know if you’d rather have insomnia or night terrors. Mike desperately wants struck by lightning, Justin throws around snoozing ex-girlfriends and Rustin gets jealous of birds.

There’s a fire sale at Banter Mart! In this show, the boys take a crack at pricing objects from Fred Meyer, burn their loins on shopping, and decide why people love the pastime so much. Justin hates Safeway, Rustin spots Donald Trump in the theatre, and Mike’s about to throw down with a lady in the checkout line.

There’s no need to fear, the Banter Boys are here! In this phobic edition, the fellas tackle some trembling trivia, start a bidding war for gross food, and rank phobias on the EW! factor. Rustin spends $170 on edible larva, Justin can’t muster up the courage to ask a girl out, and Mike reveals his true love: bird feeders.

We're here to save the world! The Banter boys riff on Superheroes, as Mike leads us in a supernatural edition of Marriage, Friend Zone or Restraining Order, Rustin rants about obscure heroes and Justin wants to know if you'd rather wear a full-length cape or a mask at ALL TIMES. Justin wants to be Underdog, Mike likes Gin but hates the Gin Genie, and Rustin watches WAAAAAY too much Netflix. 

You'll heart this episode! The love-struck lads lament about the OV (Original Valentine), draft their least favorite holidays, chomp on some black noodles and choose between being a cowherder or a weaving maid. Mike and Rustin have a heated exchange over Columbus you won't wanna miss, while Justin says goodbye to sugar forever. 

Hair ye, hair ye! It’s a follicle-filled festival as the guys rank the “Ew!” factor of hair, choose between uncontrollable ear or nose hair, and get excited for the glorious return of Burning Loins (Mike madder than ever!). Justin loves wet hair, Mike wants to be a porcupine and Rustin confesses to highlighted tips.

Happy New Year! It’s the beginning of 2017, so the fellas look at other “firsts” in this show: first kisses, their first impressions of each other, and even how this podcast itself began! In this trivia-loaded classic, Mike gets kissed and it FREAKS HIM OUT, Rustin wants to lose weight and Justin hits on his friends’ moms.

Merry Christmas… you too! Banter Clause is coming to a town near you, bring a brand new bag of segments including a Christmas carol quiz, the “Naughty or Nice List” and a verbal gift exchange. Hear Rustin botch “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, Mike rage about tinsel and Justin relocate the Salvation Army bell ringers.

Wake up and have some breakfast with us! The fellas discuss the most important meal of the day (or is it??), drafting their own ultimate breakfast platter, breaking fastly into some trivia and try to guess Rustin’s weird breakfast habits. Mike spits some ebonics, Justin gets a colonoscopy and Rustin wakes up slamming mimosas.

Hurts so good! In this show we discuss pain – both of the body and the soul. We talk about our worst injuries, the last time we cried and if we’d rather get shot in the leg or get a paper cut every day for the next year. Justin eats too many tacos, Lonesome Dove gets to Mike, and handlebar mustachioed Rustin completely loses control.

It’s about time! On this show the boys banter around the clock, talking time travel, favorite hours of the day and whether or not to use the snooze button. Mike hates on daylight savings time, Rustin can’t give a straight answer and Justin wants to pick his nose in peace.

We vote to banter! As Election Day looms near, the Banter boys look to the ghosts of White House past, asking the big questions like, who is the best looking president of all time? We indulge in some Presidential trivia, rant about the electoral college (stay in school) and decide if we’d rather have wooden teeth or a perma-wig. Mike makes an “ass” of himself, Rustin loves Iowa and Justin drinks some Ale Gore.

WARNING: If you love the NBA and geeky analysis, this is the show for you! If not, you may want to skip this one: the power is YOURS! Our “Banter for Ball” track will be for the sports enthusiasts. The fellas are joined by NBA friend Erik to preview the upcoming NBA season by predicting the win totals of all 30 teams. Also on the table: who will be this year’s MVP, Rookie of the Year and NBA Champions, as well as the best names and nicknames around the league.

Let’s get ready to rumble! In this violent episode, the boys spar on all things fighting… political “Hanger Games”, their own first fights, and the most burning question, who would win in a video game war: Michael Jackson or J.K. Rowling? Mike lands a nut punch, Rustin would fight to the death with Janet Reno on his side, and Oprah gets Justin tongue-tied.

Join us for a Millennial chat where we answer the burning questions like, what's with all the man buns? We discuss who a Millennial is, what drives us nuts about them, and even take a test to see how Millennial we are! Rustin predicts his death, Justin almost cries and Mike gets sent to timeout - twice. 

It's Banter unleashed! Talking the not-so-secret life of pets, we are joined by our first guest - Mrs. Mic Drop! Mike and Chloe tell us a story about an unexpected gift that poops and drives Mike insane. Justin is outed as a selfish pet hater, and Rustin reveals his true love - a lobster wearing canine that broke his heart. 

Come party with us as if it were 1999! We're traveling back two decades to the 90's to talk dial-up internet, Capri Sun and hanging out with Bill Clinton. Justin purchases Beyonce for $56, Rustin admits to closet Power Ranger fandom and it turns out Mike hates the 90's entirely, but loves girls in overalls. 

Heigh ho squared, it's off to work we go! On this show, the boys banter about all things vocation, including their dream and nightmare jobs, and what burns their loins in the work force. Mike wants to evicts poor single mothers, Rustin is a professional groin cup tester and Justin hates on electric stoves.

We dip into the archives from a podcast that Mike, Rustin and Justin did with their buddy Jacob back in 2012, called Here's Four Guys. The fellas discussed the London Olympics, so it felt only fitting to re-release this episode during the Rio games. Enjoy! 

Welcome to Rio, Brazil! This Olympic edition features a time when women weren't allowed to participate in the games, this year's potential Zika-filled disaster in Rio, and the most important moment in Olympic history. Rustin is obsessed with boxing, Mike would look smashing in a leotard and Justin loves a guy named Bob.
