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. 410: HoopGoons

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/05/12

This week, the SPORTS BOIS are talking about a quality that was on abundant display during the first round of the NBA playoffs (this episode was recorded when most of the first-round series were still going, and Patrick Beverley hadn't yet chucked a ball at a fan's face): goonery! Is this another opportunity for Sean to clown on Joel Embiid, who is really way too good at basketball to act the way he does? You better believe it is. But that's not all it is; the gang has the smoke for a number of

Ep. 409: Beercast

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/05/02

This week, the gang (minus Sean) gets together to talk about a thing that's been a key part of so many moments in our lives and friendship together: beer. But it seems that everyone's relationship with a frosty-cold oat soda has maybe changed in the past decade or so, so it's time to unpack that!MUSIC: "Dan Marino (Live)" –M.J. Lenderman and the Wind Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep. 408: Playoff Time!

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/04/24

This week, the SPORTS BOIS are here to talk about the NBA playoffs and how things have changed in the Play-in Tournament era. Are we punishing the #1 seeds somehow? And do the Celtics have anything to fear but fear itself?NOTE: This episode was recorded before the play-in games, which means any mention of the Heat and Pelicans does not account for the injuries to Jimmy Butler and Zion Williamson.MUSIC: "Glitz" – Cindy Lee Hosted on Acast.

2024/04/07

Ep. 405: Goal-Oriented

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/03/22

This week, the gang talks about setting goals for self-improvement, and ponders Pierce's theory that you can't really evaluate any goal like that on a timeline shorter than a year.MUSIC: "Playing Favorites" – Sheer Mag Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep. 404: ENDGAME

2024/03/08

2024/02/29

This week, the gang gets together to draft their favorite moments in sports. Some of them will make perfect sense. Others — hell, maybe most of them — will make whatever the literal opposite of perfect sense is. Check it out!MUSIC: "Make a Joke" – Mama Zu Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 401: Back in the Office Again

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/02/20

This week, the gang talks about how some companies are going about trying to bring their employees back to the office from time to time with perks like an occasional free lunch — and why that strategy seems doomed to fail. Will one of these four fully remote workers argue that companies should just institute a policy and deal with whatever consequences come of it? You'll have to listen to find out!MUSIC: "Horses" – Maggie Rogers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep. 400: Wow, We Feel Old

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/02/14

This week is a bit of a throwback, with Sean and Pierce doing a little reminiscing on the past 400 episodes before shifting gears and talking a bit about how friggin' old they feel when it comes to going to concerts — but why it may be important to grit their teeth and do it anyway.MUSIC: "Shade" – Office Dog Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 398: We Swear It's Not a Drake Podcast

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/01/29

This week, some spicy words for Drake by Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def) sparked some discussion online about whether or not Drake's music reminds you of shopping at Target. That points the gang toward a conversation about "selling out" and how cultural fandom has become about our identity as fans rather than engagement with and consideration of an artist's work.MUSIC: "Wizard Buys a Hat" – the Mountain GoatsADDITIONAL MATERIAL: "On Smarm" (Gawker via the Wayback Machine) and "The Future Of The Culture

Ep. 397: Way Too Late to Be an Emergency Podcast

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/01/21

Was there enough time between when we recorded this podcast and when it's finally coming out that Bill Belichick hadn't actually lost his job yet and Alabama hadn't hired a successor to Nick Saban? Yes! Does that make this podcast about what feels like the end of a coaching era kind of useless? You'll have to decide that for yourself.MUSIC: "Can't Get Enough of It" – SPRINTS Hosted on Acast.

It"s Pretty OK ·

2024/01/11

This week, the gang returns for a new year with a discussion of Max's BBQ travels over the holidays, and what makes a place like Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas, so different from a place like Dreamland Bar-B-Que, the Tuscaloosa, Alabama rib shack that has expanded to several locations across Alabama, Georgia and Florida.MUSIC: "Salad" – Blondshell Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 395: Push It to the Limit

It"s Pretty OK ·

2023/12/22

This week, the gang closes out 2023 by discussing the firehose of "breaking news" notifications that Sean and Pierce get on their phones, why it's so frustrating that we spend so much time on national political news, and why it's still important to get information about the world around you. Does Sean put on his "I'm a former local reporter" hat and deliver a nearly 7-minute monologue? You better believe it!MUSIC: "Stone Window" – Metric Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more

Ep. 394: It's the Holidays, Be Kind to Yourself

It"s Pretty OK ·

2023/12/06

This week, the gang gets together post-Thanksgiving to talk about Sean's experience with a simplified Turkey Day menu brought on by necessity. But it's not really a conversation about menus so much as a chat about finding ways to give yourself a break and not weigh the holidays down with expectations.MUSIC: "Transformer" – Marnie Stern Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 393: And Then There Were Seven

2023/11/22

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all — Sean, Pierce, and Kevin got together before going home for the holidays to talk about the 7 remaining undefeated FBS teams and what would be the best (or funniest) outcomes for each.Of course, that was before any of the games were played. So tune in to see how many of the things they said are already outdated!MUSIC: "All AKA Ciao" – Homeboy SandmanADDITIONAL MATERIAL: The World’s Most Popular Painter Sent His Followers After Me Because He Didn’t Like a Review of His Work

Ep. 392: The Product Review Revue

It"s Pretty OK ·

2023/11/17

We're almost back to a normal recording/release schedule, I swear. But in the meantime, the gang is discussing reviews. What are we looking at so many reviews for, and are we actually getting anything out of it? Also, Max brings an excellent trivia question.MUSIC: "Fresh Tattoo" – The Mountain GoatsADDITIONAL MATERIAL: Who are the Premier League’s true Rolls-Royces? (The Athletic) Hosted on Acast.

Ep. 391: The ACC Realignment Special

It"s Pretty OK ·

2023/11/04

Apologies for the irregular recording schedule — someone is busy exploring the world. In the meantime, the SPORTS BOIS gather to discuss something they've been thinking about for a while now: how to rearrange the ACC's football setup now that Cal, SMU and Stanford are joining. They compete to see who's got the most chaotic vision, whether it's an odd number of divisions or forced transfers of engineering students. Okay, it's probably the one that involves forcing engineering students to
