from High Society Radio

College football is officially BACK, and Chris Stanley and Chris Faga are locking in! On this episode of High Society Radio, the guys celebrate the return of gridiron Saturday, break down touch vs. flag football mechanics, and dissect Pat McAfee's massive impact on sports media and music culture. The crew also dives into the spiraling cost of living in NYC, debating whether $20 burritos should be outlawed, analyzing local bodega staples, and questioning if the NYC chopped cheese phenomenon is an elaborate internet psyop. On the cinematic front, Producer Dom breaks down the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe for Chris & Chris, prepping for Avengers: Doomsday by analyzing comic book history, the evolution of Shang-Chi, and Namor’s role in Wakanda. Plus, the guys react to unhinged rage bait tweets, unpack the sudden shift in pop-hip-hop toward country music, and review the latest internet streamer drama between Kick creators and Sneako.
