Unpopular Opinions

Finally, Jon comes up with a phenomenal idea. We're going to buy a private island and just invite the rich and famous to it, Jeffrey Epstein-style. But, instead of letting the politicians have sex with underage women, we're going to host dog fights for them. Wait, wait...hear me out. Not just any dog fight...puppy fights. It'll be the cutest, most gruesome thing you've ever seen...but you won't see it...because you're not rich enough or famous enough. Out of sight, out of mind. What you don't know won't hurt you (but it'll still hurt the puppies). Also, we talk about the ridiculousness of having childish names for normal, adult things. So, sit down criss-cross applesauce and listen up. If you’ve got comments or suggestions for an upcoming episode, give us a call or text us at ‪(706) 740-2174‬.

What's the meaning of it all?!?! Today, we dive into what would happen if Jon were to keel over in the studio in the middle of an episode. Scott acknowledges that it would take at least a day or two for him to find a new host. As we dig further into what life might mean, we ask the questions: What should we do? What must we do? Would you want to live forever? What if you only had one arm and no penis? Would you still want to live forever? If you want to see the "Make Your Bed" graduation speech that Jon talked about, you can check it out here. Oh, yeah, and if you listen real closely, there's an awkward incest joke in there somewhere.

Today, we knock out an episode while Jon's on lunch break, or more accurately, pickle break. Who knew that a discussion about pickles could lead to dick jokes? (Everyone.) But the real discussion is about the crazed fans/stalkers that the Hands on Host's award-winning content will inevitably bring. We debate the ins and outs (dick joke) of the best kinds of stalkers.

After a cerebral discussion of NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and the Home Alone movie franchise, Jon leads us into the discussion everyone is having these days. I know, I know. You've heard it on Fox News, NPR, and the Home Shopping Network, but we've got to get our opinions in here somewhere. Yes, we're discussing chastity belts. Jon's mom tried to buy him one (a pair?) out of a Christian Sky Mall magazine. But once you have the thought -- you know...the dirty sex thought -- hasn't the sin already occurred? What about God's underwear (aka - Mormon Magical Underwear)? Scott spills a secret. And in that secret, Scott ponders what it might be like to be able to play the widower card.

Listen. This episode is gonna start a bit slowly. Bear with us. Jon, as a long-time smoker, has been struggling to keep up with Scott's youthful pace obtained through clean living. But, we dive into it. Does "social smoking" or "only smoking when you drink" equal "smoking"? (Yes) Should smoking be allowed in private businesses? (Yes) Now that you've got all your questions answered, listen to the damn episode, why don't you?

What in the world would possess an otherwise normal adult couple to use a single email address or a single social media profile? It turns out, that if you and your spouse/partner/fae/faer have a shared email address and/or Facebook profile, then you are swingers. Good on ya! A discussion of swinger signals ensues including pineapples and Adirondack chairs on your front lawn. Who knew?!

Are the bots listening to this podcast? Jon and Scott discuss the fact that this podcast is a therapeutic outlet for us. And then, Jon wants to talk about fat people. He reveals how he teaches his child to hate fat people. And we reveal that we’re just helping you out, our squishy little friends. You are welcome. We explore the definition of “fat” and stumble onto some online BMI calculators. Spoiler alert: Turns out, Scott is “overweight”.

You’ve got to stand for something… Scott stands for wild animals, and then shoots them and eats them. Yummy.

Uh oh. Trouble in the Scott household. The dog, or more specifically the presence of the dog on the bed, becomes a point of friction between him and his wife. Now it's your turn to hear Scott rant about his "no dogs on the bed" hate speech. From there, we roll into a conversation about "The Earthing Movie" (available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ddtR0XDVU).

Who would have thought that anyone could get this worked up about a kitchen appliance? Scott talks about his passion for cooking and his disdain for making up new names for the same old stuff. It’s not a fryer, it’s an oven. Later, Scott focuses his hate on the Instant Pot and bravely stands up for the lowly, oppressed slow cooker.

Today we share some exciting news. Scott has a new job, and Jon wants to celebrate with a tattoo. This leads us into a conversation about which cultures are allowed tattoos and which are not. Somehow, from there, we end up disclosing that Tweety Bird seat covers are a signal that one was a victim of childhood sexual abuse.

Today we learn that Scott (george/clooney) only watches movies he’s seen before and that Jon is a connoisseur of film, or cinephile if you were. Scott suggests a trip to his local library for old, hipster movies, but Jon is uncomfortable with how to deal with gay movies as a straight man. What makes a gay movie gay? What makes a black movie black? We dive, a bit, into pornography (#justthetip #easeintoit), but we mostly just ramble on about Netflix’s algorithmic suggestions and how to keep black people from stealing fried chicken from white Southerners.

In this episode, Jon and Scott discuss how to get some corporate sponsorships. (#ProTip - It's not by calling out Patagonia on their apparently nonexistent child labor practices.) It's by enlisting the help of Social Media Influencers. WTF do those guys do, anyway? #MrBeastSucks #WhatsInstaFacePinApp #urdoinitwrong

Chivalry. Is it dead? Yes. That is all.

Join Scott and Jon as they dive into the world of SWAG (branded promotional items/clothing). And then Jon falsely accuses an unnamed powerful outdoor clothing company of using child labor.

Scott and Jon discuss the state of big box retailers around the holidays focusing on the vast array of children's books, toys, and games. I mean, “discuss” isn’t really the right term. This episode is mostly just Scott rambling on, old-man style, about the good old days of children’s books, games, and toys while Jon, in true co-host fashion, just leaves Scott hanging out to dry. Classy.

This week we discuss the societal ills of so-called "service dogs"...especially those on planes. Join us, why don't you?

On episode 1 of Unpopular Opinions, we ponder why anyone would stand on an escalator. They're stairs, people!
