It"s Pretty OK

Why don’t more bars serve beer in pitchers? How do you pick a song for karaoke? What does the word “home” mean to you?Those questions range from silly to serious, but if you’ve ever pondered the answers to all three in a single day, you’re not alone. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, crack a 40, or anything in between, and join the gang here at It’s Pretty OK as we attempt to answer these questions and many more. We promise it won’t be boring.Hosted by Pierce Bishop, Max Handler, Kevin Linger and Sean

Ep. 310: Dem Franchise Boyz PART 2!

It"s Pretty OK ·

2022/02/19

This week, Sean, Pierce and Kevin revisit a conversation they had way back in November 2016 about which NBA star you’d want to build a franchise around. They’re pretty sure they all got it wrong (some more hilariously than others), so they try to assess who were the actual right answers back in 2016 — and then run it back to draft from a new generation of superstars.MUSIC: “Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang” – Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 309: It’s a Matter of Perspection

It"s Pretty OK ·

2022/02/12

This week, the gang is all together to talk about the way that we watch sports. Specifically, is the way that live sports are filmed for TV broadcast wrong? And what the hell does any of that have to do with cows? MUSIC: “Gallo Pinto” –Daniela Andrade Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2022/02/04

This week, Sean is back after missing last pod due to COVID, and he can’t stop talking about the fact that there’s a new Jackass movie coming out — so the gang talks about nostalgia for a certain kind of comedy that doesn’t get made all that often anymore.MUSIC: “Be That Man” – Madeline Kenney Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 307: Members, Only?

It"s Pretty OK ·

2022/01/28

This week, Sean is on the injured list with a condition that may or may not rhyme with SHMOVID-19, so the rest of the gang steps in to have a discussion about membership programs. No, not like Costco (although Costco is mentioned) — more like brewery/winery memberships or season passes at ski mountains. They talk about how these programs can help you connect with a new community and revisit how dumb it was for Pierce and Kevin to get Wizards season tickets way back when.MUSIC: “Be a Part” – Dinosaur

Ep. 306: Calling an Audible

It"s Pretty OK ·

2022/01/21

This week, Sean, Max and Pierce talk about audiobooks — a thing they’ve definitely never done before. Sean’s been revising his stance on them. He even made a ham-fisted attempt at defining some audiobook rules for himself…and then broke them almost immediately. But maybe it was a good thing that he did? Plus, another riveting installment of Rolling Stone Rock Trivia Calendar Trivia™️.MUSIC: “Bunny Is A Rider” – Caroline Polachek Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep. 305: SPORTS POD GO DAWGS

It"s Pretty OK ·

2022/01/14

This week, the gang does an honest to god sports pod: they’re talking about the national championship game won by Georgia. Is Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis the largest man who has ever lived? (Maybe!) Remember when Brent Musburger was super horny on national television that time? (Hell yes, I do!) And will Sean stop trying to turn this into a rant about Chargers coach Brandon Staley calling that timeout? (Honestly, probably not!)MUSIC: “Up from Below” – Remember Sports Hosted on Acast. See

It"s Pretty OK ·

2022/01/07

It’s 2022, and the gang is back to its routine of probing the depths of Pierce’s brain on a weekly basis. This time, they’re talking about the nature of celebrity — especially as it relates to athletes. If you stick around for a few minutes, you’ll get to hear Sean uncork what may be a pretty silly opinion about the relative fame of Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley.MUSIC: “Going Down the Road Feelin’ Bad” – Lucinda Williams & Friends Hosted on Acast.

It"s Pretty OK ·

2021/12/03

This week, it’s the 300th episode of It’s Pretty OK. We did an episode about 40s for Episode 40 and online dating specials for Episodes 100 and 201, so it’s only natural that the gang would do another special thing for this major milestone. This time, it’s a watch-along, and for #300, there’s only one movie that we could do a podcast on … right?MUSIC: “Pretty Pictures” – Indigo De SouzaADDITIONAL MATERIAL: Adam McKay Says Will Ferrell Won’t Speak to Him (Vulture) Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 297: Chain of Fools

It"s Pretty OK ·

2021/11/12

This week, Pierce asks Max and Sean what makes a business like a restaurant a chain. Is it having multiple locations? Is it being in several different cities or states?

It"s Pretty OK ·

2021/10/15

This week, Sean talks to Pierce and Kevin about ESPN’s NFL access merchant, Adam Schefter, getting caught up in the scandal surrounding deposed dirtbag coach Jon Gruden’s gross emails. We know that what you’ve all been clamoring for is a lesson on journalistic ethics from the It’s Pretty OK podcast, so we are happy to oblige. Is Schefter a “journalist”? Does it matter? What are the parallels (and differences) between Schefter’s situation and that of CNN’s Chris Cuomo? All in all, this is riveting
