Now! That’s What I Call TodCasting: 2 vs 15 – Mascots vs Mugs

-
Pre-Spring Sportsball Mascot Combat Insanity - Tailor's Version
Todd and Eric throw actual basketball out the window and fill out the NCAA bracket the only way that makes sense - pure mascot combat. No stats. No jump shots. No Cinderella stories.

Mug Hierarchy - Tailor's Version

Spotify Wrapped:160,000 Minutes and Three Songs

-
The Great Road Trip Restrictions Debate

-
Is Eric Still 16? A Deep Dive into Eternal Adolescence
Todd and Eric tackle an existential crisis—has Eric actually grown up, or is he just a 16-year-old with a corporate card? In this episode, they break down what it really means to be an adult, whether a lifelong love of Disney and wrestling counts as emotional stagnation, and why midlife crises...
