The guys are back and they've got feelings. Love feelings. The kinda love that's best described in song and that's what the topic is for today: Best Love Songs.  Steve and Kirk take a look at love as expressed through some pretty great music. Some of the tunes will be part of your heart already, others will hopefully be that newfound love addition to your playlists. 

If you're old enough to have seen them when they premiered, they make you smile. If you've streamed them lately, you're watching a big part of television history. Cop shows. Hospital shows, Sitcoms, Soaps. The '80s had it all and in many cases launched a lot of it. Steve and Kirk are joined by Casting Director Sandi Logan to remember, reflect and reconstruct the many aspects of '80s TV.

The Olympics. The Summer Games are a not too distant memory and the Winter Games will be here soon. So many great moments. So many great performances. Steve & Kirk discuss who were the greatest of athletes in their performances of a single Olympic Games. TV/Streaming Sports Producer John Learing returns to help "carry the torch".

Europe, Africa, Asia, The Americas. Everyone has the places they want to see and experience, but what are those exceptional places you just have to see before it's too late? Kirk and Steve discuss some of the most intriguing places around to add to your "Must Do" lists. 

"What's Up Doc?", "Doh!" and "Yabba Dabba Doo!" all bring that certain something to mind. 'Toons!, Animated T.V. Series. We've watched them as kids, turned to them for an escape from our busy lives as adults, but mostly, they've been a big part of what entertains us throughout the years. Which era gave us the best? Steve & Kirk draw their own conclusions with the help of three-time Emmy nominated actor, Bob Bergen.

We may not want to admit it, but most of us like/love fast food. Burgers, Pizza, Subs, Chicken, so much yum. The guys take on the take-out windows of America. Award-winning chef, Lee Hillson joins Steve & Kirk in talking about franchising taste.  

With the Beatles closing out Season 1, what could be a better follow up than the Rolling Stones? The Season 2 premiere features Steve, Kirk and guest Chuck Tilley (Drummer from the band Sixwire) sorting through one of the largest catalogues in Rock 'n Roll.

Every year the Academy anoints a film with the title "Best Picture". We've seen dozens of them over the years, but which of them is the best of the best. Steve and Kirk are re-joined by author Jeremy Arnold as they make their case for the best of all time.

We like to laugh and who doesn't like a good love story? So, it's easy to understand the appeal of romantic comedies. For Valentine's Day 2021, Steve & Kirk take a look at the very popular date-night genre. Comedienne Wendy Liebman joins in and there's a good chance Meg Ryan may come up in discussion. 

They inspire us at home, the fans in the stadium, the team on the field. They're a big part of the game day experience...the college fight song. Steve & Kirk dive into their Top 10's for best fight songs ever and have opinions on the songs and each other.

It's easy to see who are the dominant teams of today, but who is the best of all time? Steve & Kirk huddle with ESPN reporter, David Hale to discuss and rank their best ever Top 10.

Charlie Brown, George Bailey, Rudolph, Scrooge and the Grinch. There are certainly a lot of amazing characters we love to see this time of the year and there certainly are a lot of holiday programs, specials and movies to see them in. So much to watch during a very busy season! Well, Steve & Kirk will help you find that perfect line-up for you and your family. They're ranking the best so listen soon before the new year is here. Anyway it's better than finding expired nog in your stocking. Eww.

Michael Anton Dila

In this podcast Jake speaks with Michael Dila, designer, innovator, strategist, builder and provocateur. Throughout this discussion, Jake and Michael explore the theme of “intelligence” and the schism between the intellectual segment and the emerging populist movement surrounding Trump's campaign. Dila discusses the divide between reason and anti-reason and what this means for a manipulable society in an increasingly complex world where notions of trust and dependency are skewed. Michael expresses a sense of urgency in coming up with solutions to reorganize our purposes for the survival of the planet for future generations.
