WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES, DISCUSSING WHETHER YOUTUBE AND TIKTOK ARE CREATING HOLLYWOOD'S NEXT GENERATION OF HORROR DIRECTORS.

NEXT, WE DIVE INTO ELON MUSK AND THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED TESLA ROADSTER. THE TECHNOLOGY AND AMBITIOUS CLAIMS LOOK ABSOLUTELY INSANE, BUT IS ANY OF IT REALISTIC?

IS ARCH MANNING TRULY AN ELITE QUARTERBACK, OR IS HIS FAMOUS LAST NAME DRIVING THE HYPE? IS NORTHWESTERN A LEGITIMATE CONTENDER? AND WHY SHOULD COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS BE PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO DREW MESTEMAKER? WE SHARE OUR OPINIONS, DEBATE THE CONTENDERS AND PRETENDERS, AND LOOK AHEAD TO THE GAMES WE'RE MOST EXCITED TO WATCH. THEN IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NFL AS WE RECAP WEEK 6, GOING GAME BY GAME TO DISCUSS THE BIGGEST WINS, DISAPPOINTING LOSSES, SURPRISING PERFORMANCES, AND HEADLINES AROUND THE LEAGUE. WE ALSO LOOK AHEAD TO NFL WEEK 7, BREAKING DOWN THE UPCOMING MATCHUPS, SHARING OUR PREDICTIONS, AND DISCUSSING WHICH TEAMS COULD PULL OFF MAJOR UPSETS! WHO'S LOOKING LIKE A LEGITIMATE PLAYOFF CONTENDER, AND WHO'S STARTING TO FALL APART? FINALLY, WE CLOSE OUT THE SHOW WITH REELS ON THE ROCKS, WHERE JOHN GIVES HIS REVIEW OF THE STREET FIGHTER MOVIE! DOES THIS VIDEO GAME ADAPTATION DELIVER THE ACTION, ENTERTAINMENT, AND NOSTALGIA FANS EXPECT, OR DOES IT FALL SHORT? MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW MANY WHISKEY GLASSES WILL JOHN GIVE IT?

  6. Sep 24

    NFL WEEK 3 PREDICTIONS + IS THE NFL’S INJURY PROBLEM GETTING WORSE?

    WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WHERE NFL FOOTBALL, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, NFL PREDICTIONS, FANTASY FOOTBALL, SPORTS HOT TAKES, MOVIES, AND PLENTY OF BANTER COLLIDE! THIS WEEK, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH OUR HOTTEST BANTER TAKES AND ASK A SERIOUS QUESTION: DOES THE NFL HAVE AN INJURY PROBLEM THAT NOBODY WANTS TO ADMIT? WE’RE ONLY THROUGH WEEK 2 OF THE NFL SEASON, AND ANOTHER BRUTAL WAVE OF INJURIES HAS ALREADY HIT TEAMS AND FANTASY FOOTBALL ROSTERS ACROSS THE LEAGUE. AT WHAT POINT DOES THE NFL HAVE TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHY SO MANY PLAYERS ARE GOING DOWN? WE BREAK IT DOWN AND DEBATE WHAT, IF ANYTHING, NEEDS TO CHANGE. THEN WE SWITCH GEARS TO MOVIES WITH ANOTHER HOT TAKE: STREAMING DIDN’T RUIN THE MOVIE THEATER EXPERIENCE — BAD MOVIES DID! WITH THE QUALITY OF THEATRICAL RELEASES SEEMINGLY IMPROVING, IS GOING TO THE MOVIES FINALLY BECOMING AN EXPERIENCE WORTH PAYING FOR AGAIN? FROM THERE, IT’S TIME FOR THE BANTER SPORTSBOOK AS WE JUMP INTO COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST STORYLINES OF THE WEEK: LANE KIFFIN’S RETURN TO OLE MISS AND THE REBELS COMING AWAY WITH A HUGE WIN. WE DISCUSS WHAT THE RESULT MEANS AND BREAK DOWN SOME OF THE BIGGEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL ACTION FROM THE WEEKEND. THEN IT’S ALL NFL AS WE RECAP NFL WEEK 2, GOING THROUGH THE GAMES, BIGGEST PERFORMANCES, DISAPPOINTMENTS, SURPRISES, HOT TAKES, AND EVERYTHING THAT CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION. THERE WAS PLENTY OF GOOD FOOTBALL THIS WEEK — AND DEFINITELY PLENTY OF BAD. AFTER THE RECAP, WE TURN THE PAGE TO NFL WEEK 3 AND GIVE OUR PREDICTIONS, PICKS, UPSET POSSIBILITIES, AND GAMES WE’LL BE WATCHING CLOSELY. FINALLY, WE PULL UP A SEAT FOR REELS ON THE ROCKS AND GIVE OUR SPOILER-FREE RESIDENT EVIL REVIEW BEFORE TALKING ABOUT THE CINEMARK MOVIE-GOING EXPERIENCE AND JOHN REACHING CINEMARK PLATINUM STATUS…APPARENTLY SOMEBODY HAS BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME AT THE THEATER!

  7. Sep 17

    NFL WEEK 1 WAS WILD! + WEEK 2 PICKS & PREDICTIONS

    WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WHERE SPORTS, HOT TAKES, NFL PREDICTIONS, FANTASY FOOTBALL, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, AND PLENTY OF BANTER COLLIDE! THE NFL SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY, AND THIS WEEK WE BREAK DOWN EVERY GAME FROM NFL WEEK 1 BEFORE LOOKING AHEAD AND MAKING OUR NFL WEEK 2 PREDICTIONS. BUT FIRST, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES AND ASK A QUESTION THAT MIGHT GET US IN TROUBLE: ARE FOOD INFLUENCERS BECOMING THE NEW MOVIE CRITICS, AND CAN WE ACTUALLY TRUST THEIR REVIEWS? WITH FREE MEALS, SPONSORED CONTENT, AND VIEWS ON THE LINE, WE DEBATE WHETHER SOME FOOD INFLUENCERS ARE GIVING HONEST REVIEWS OR SIMPLY TELLING US WHAT RESTAURANTS WANT US TO HEAR. WE ALSO LOOK AT THE WORLD OF MOVIE CRITICS AND WHETHER AUDIENCES SHOULD TRUST THE CRITICS OR MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS. THEN WE HEAD TO MLB FOR ANOTHER HOT TAKE: ARE UMPIRES TRYING TOO HARD TO BECOME PART OF THE SHOW? AFTER AN UMPIRE STOPPED A GAME OVER A ROOKIE'S HAT DURING HIS MLB DEBUT, WE DEBATE WHETHER BASEBALL UMPIRES NEED TO WORRY LESS ABOUT THE SPOTLIGHT AND MORE ABOUT IMPROVING THE GAME ON THE FIELD. FROM THERE, IT'S TIME FOR BANTER SPORTSBOOK AS WE RECAP SOME OF THE BIGGEST GAMES AND STORYLINES FROM THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEKEND BEFORE DIVING HEADFIRST INTO THE NFL. WE BREAK DOWN EVERY NFL WEEK 1 GAME WITH OUR BIGGEST REACTIONS, SURPRISES, DISAPPOINTMENTS, AND TAKEAWAYS FROM AROUND THE LEAGUE. WE ALSO ANSWER A LISTENER'S FANTASY FOOTBALL TRADE QUESTION AND TALK ABOUT WHICH PLAYERS WE'RE BUYING, SELLING, AND WATCHING AS THE FANTASY SEASON GETS UNDERWAY. THEN IT'S ON TO NFL WEEK 2 AS WE MAKE OUR PICKS AND PREDICTIONS FOR EVERY GAME AND OFFICIALLY BEGIN TRACKING OUR RECORDS TO SEE WHO FINISHES THE SEASON AS THE BANTER ON THE ROCKS NFL PICKS CHAMPION. FINALLY, WE PUT TIM TO THE TEST BY HAVING HIM RANK THE CURRENT NFL BROADCASTER DUOS IN AN S-TIER THROUGH C-TIER RANKING. WHO ARE THE BEST NFL ANNOUNCERS IN FOOTBALL, WHO BELONGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK, AND WHICH BROADCAST TEAMS WOULD WE RATHER NOT HEAR ON SUNDAY? LET US KNOW YOUR NFL WEEK 2 PICKS, FANTASY FOOTBALL QUESTIONS, AND NFL BROADCASTER RANKINGS IN THE COMMENTS. WHO BELONGS IN S-TIER, AND WHO ARE YOU PUTTING ALL THE WAY DOWN IN C-TIER?

    NFL HOT TAKES GONE TOO FAR?! +KAWHI, FANTASY FOOTBALL, AND MORE

    WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WHERE SPORTS, GOLF, FANTASY FOOTBALL, WILD THEORIES, AND HOT TAKES COLLIDE! THIS WEEK, WE KICK THINGS OFF WITH BANTER TAKES AND ASK A BIG QUESTION: IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR LIV GOLF? THE CONCEPT WAS BOLD, THE MONEY WAS MASSIVE, AND THEY TRIED TO CHANGE PROFESSIONAL GOLF BY ATTRACTING SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE SPORT—BUT DID LIV GOLF ULTIMATELY FAIL TO DELIVER ON ITS ORIGINAL VISION? FROM THERE, WE TURN BACK THE CLOCK AND DEBATE WHETHER 2000S MUSIC WAS ONE OF THE MOST GENERATION-DEFINING ERAS EVER. THE SONGS ARE OVER 20 YEARS OLD, YET SOMEHOW TODAY’S KIDS STILL KNOW THE LYRICS! WITH HALLOWEEN AROUND THE CORNER, WE ALSO SETTLE ANOTHER IMPORTANT DEBATE: ARE HALLOWEEN PARTIES ACTUALLY BETTER THAN NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTIES? THEN WE GET NOSTALGIC AND ASK WHETHER THE BLOCKBUSTER EXPERIENCE—WALKING THE AISLES, GRABBING SNACKS, AND PICKING OUT A MOVIE—WAS BETTER THAN SPENDING 30 MINUTES SCROLLING THROUGH NETFLIX TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO WATCH. NEXT, WE HUDDLE UP FOR THE BANTER SPORTSBOOK AS THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON OFFICIALLY GETS UNDERWAY! WE RECAP SOME OF THE BIGGEST GAMES AND STORYLINES FROM WEEK 1 AND LOOK AHEAD TO WHAT’S COMING IN WEEK 2. WE ALSO JUMP INTO THE LATEST NBA TALK, WHICH QUICKLY TURNS INTO JOHN’S RANT ABOUT THE CLIPPERS, KAWHI LEONARD, AND WHETHER THE PUNISHMENT FITS THE MISTAKE—PLUS JOHN GIVES HIS SOLUTION FOR HOW THE LA CLIPPERS CAN FINALLY GET A FRESH START. THEN IT’S TIME FOR OUR FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH AND DEBATE: NFL FOOTBALL! WE REVEAL OUR ROSTER FROM OUR 14-TEAM FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT, BREAK DOWN OUR PICKS, AND EXPLAIN WHY WE THINK WE ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED THE DRAFT—BUT YOU CAN BE THE JUDGE. THEN WE UNLEASH SOME OF OUR HOTTEST AND BOLDEST NFL PREDICTIONS FOR THE SEASON, AND LET’S JUST SAY WE’RE PROBABLY GOING TO TRIGGER A FEW FAN BASES AND HAVE YOU WONDERING EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE SIPPING ON DURING THE SHOW. FINALLY, WE HEAD BACK TO THE COURSE FOR BOGEYS ON THE ROCKS AND RECAP OUR LATEST 18-HOLE GOLF OUTING AT SIMI HILLS GOLF COURSE IN CALIFORNIA. AS BEGINNER GOLFERS, WE SHARE OUR THOUGHTS ON THE COURSE, HOW WE PLAYED, WHAT WENT RIGHT, WHAT DEFINITELY WENT WRONG, AND WHAT WE LEARNED FROM ANOTHER FULL ROUND. WHETHER YOU’RE HERE FOR NFL PREDICTIONS, FANTASY FOOTBALL, COLLEGE FOOTBALL, NBA TALK, LIV GOLF, GOLF CONTENT, 2000S NOSTALGIA, OR JUST SOME RIDICULOUS DEBATES BETWEEN FRIENDS, GRAB YOUR DRINK, PULL UP A CHAIR, AND JOIN THE BANTER!
