It"s Pretty OK

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

Football season is back, and believe it or not, the gang has very different relationships with the NFL.

Ep. 379: The Challenge Pod

It"s Pretty OK ·

No, it's not a podcast about the MTV competition show. This week, the gang (minus Kevin, who's on a jaunt around the west coast and Canada for a while) gets together to talk about summer reading and the concept of challenging yourself as an adult. Is it just a way to motivate yourself to do something you don't want to do, or can it be about reinforcing something that you already enjoy?MUSIC: "Eye on the Bat" – Palehound Hosted on Acast.

It"s Pretty OK ·

2023/07/20

This week, it's the show you didn't even know you were waiting for...because you probably weren't actually waiting for it. Pierce and Sean finally do their long-rumored watch-along of the 2011 UEFA Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United. (You can find the game on Dailymotion just like they did if you want to be a sicko and watch it yourself.) Somewhat unsurprisingly, the discussion heads off into tangents about philosophy and...baseball? Wait, that doesn't seem right.MUSIC:

Dive on in for some hot sardine-on-mackerel action! This week, the gang is talking about the Futurama episode "A Bicyclops Built for Two," which is both eerily prescient about the internet of the 2000s and 2010s...and also somehow a parody of Married...with Children?MUSIC: "Freak" - Feeble Little Girl Hosted on Acast.
