Jackson Dahl is itching to crack the mic with his dad and Brendan to share perspective on the current state of affairs and the virus. Jax reimagines Brendo's boxing routine, shares the story of Arnie the Doughnut and explains where zoo animals hang out.

Matt & Brendan

Leprechaun Bites

Matt & Brendan are back in school!  Jackson Dahl experiences the highs & lows of show business when he comes down with a case of kindergarten stage fright.  Brendan feels the love from a Chipotle cashier.  Ditto for Matt with a family-size Malnati's salad.

Black Spot Inside of Me

As he prepares to attend his 1st ever Phish show - on New Year's Eve at Madison Square Garden, no less - Brendan seeks the counsel of an Aphishianado from long ago...Matty D. Matt gives Brendo a crash course on Phishdom and some crucial do's & don't's.

School of Phish

Jackson Dahl, 6 years old, stops by to wish you a Merry Christmas and answer some questions about the holiday season with his dad, Matt. Matt is his dad.  Thanks for listening, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Merry Christmas from Jackson!

Matt & Brendan get festive for the annual M&B company Christmas party/Taco Tuesday, complete with Mai Tais and the sounds of Tool on the TouchTunes. Junior reporters Jackson and Emery inspire a roundtable discussion about the Grinch's legacy.  

Company Christmas Party

Matt & Brendan will confront you in the parking lot of Tony's Finer Foods, no matter the cost. Matt is beginning to feel a bit like Christmas and anticipates a stocking full of reindeer poop. Plans are pretty much finalized for the 2019 M&B Xmas Party.

Reindeer Poop

Matty and Brendo are ready to deliver a brand new podcast into your hearts! Matt's been following comfort dogs while Brendan is embroiled in a cleaner's triangle. M&B have a few clarifying questions to ask you...here's a fiver for your trouble.

Lift the Right Leg

Brendan thinks he saw an obscure superhero at Oktoberfest. Which is funny, because Matt took Jackson to the comic book store for the first time, where he chose an edition starring well-known web slinger Spider-Man. Matt preps for the ER w/ Brendan’s help. 

Studying Clownfoot

Matt & Brendan anxiously await a 4th bundle of joy. Would Matt leave a fire to attend the birth? Doc Rhubarb unintentionally insulted a Grundy County Speedway fan's intelligence when referring to a Logic video. Mad Dawg is really digging his Adidas slides Jackson wasn't a big fan of Toy Story 4, which Matt didn't find out until after they went a 2nd time. Brendan visits an 80's movie landmark. Cooper slept in his own vomit and the stink lingered on his coat until he was hosed down.

Smarter Than You

Matt & Brendan give underwear a break for different reasons. Warning: Your results may vary. Matt's privates got a little too much attention on a group text. Brendan might've frightened a pizza delivery guy after drinking Oberons in the hot tub with Wiz. Also on this episode: Matt brings his kids to the vet, where they pretend to be dogs. Brendan deals with extreme smells and possible extremists aboard public transportation. Matt seeks light therapy and Brendan is a hot dog at yoga.

Going Smokeless

Matt is preparing for a big Power Point presentation tonight at the firehouse and he's trying to strike a balance between informational & entertaining. Brendan played pool against a guy who was clearly on Molly. Plus: Ernest P. Worrell's cultural impact. Did you know Ernest did commercials for Mello Yello? You do now. One product he never got a chance to be a spokesman for: Hero Wipes, The Wipe for Heroes. M&B consider the path to becoming a Bud Man and quote 2 Costner movies.

Hero Wipes

Matt & Brendan start planning a joint vacation to the new Taco Bell resort in California. Mistaken Mad Dawg once tried to fight a credit card charge from Yum Brands and Blazed Doc Rhubarb tried to return a BK Broiler to Burger King. Krusty Burger, anyone? Plenty more Simpsons references on this week's M&B. Did we mention the Taco Bell resort? Yes? Our bad. Emery has been torturing Jackson with the repeat game and it must be getting to us like it's getting to him. Hopefully the preschool graduate can put it out of his mind in time for the ceremony. Brendo's late night DMs are poached and he leaves a beefy hotel tip.

Mmm...Simpsons References

Matt and Brendan are finally getting a Friday night out, just the two of them. It's long overdue. Matt has been swimming, steaming and studying stats in preparation for the M&B evening. Brendan is dressing to impress in his Bobby Portis Crazy Eyes shirt. After catching a Bulls game at United Center, Brendan is whisking Matt away...for a surprise country music experience at Joe's on Weed. It all hinges on Matt's new furnace getting installed on time and a complicated series of transportation plans. Not a good time to have your furnace go out.

M&B Boys Night Out

Forever brothers in banging, M&B seem like a security threat this week. Matty gets upgraded to suite status in ‘Zona & gives his Ritalin Review of Black Panther. Brendo parties like a rock star backstage with Portugal. The Man, but keeps it super awkward. The band bought some 30 packs, but there wasn't enough High Life to go around. There were plenty of joints, however. Failing to pick up on a natural end to an interaction, Brendo prolonged one polite conversation with a member of the band.

Backstage with Portugal. The Man

Matt & Brendan are weirdly good at this. Clear vision will let you see what else Matt is weirdly good at as he puts his butt on the line. Brendan, whom they call Mr. Glass Cleaner, is unbreakable in his quest to gain industrial strength.
