    BaconBit: Team Listener vs. Team JK (2024)

    BaconBit: Team Listener vs. Team JK (2024)

    We’ve crowned a new Listener for the new year during our 446th episode, and now it’s time for Scott, Taylor, and Aleesha to combine forces against the pop culture powerhouse of Team JK. Joel & Kent may not know how to high-five each other, but their brains are full of useless trivia and their buzzer fingers are primed and ready. Will Team JK run away with it? Will Team Listener give Joel and Kent a run for their money? What are our feelings on water crackers? Why aren’t we allowed to consult with one another? Listen and find out.

    Episode 446: Our 446th Episode!

    Episode 446: Our 446th Episode!

    Not every podcast celebrates their 446th episode, but we here at Baconsale do things differently. Since Chad has served two terms as The Listener, it’s time for him to peacefully step down and allow someone else to fill that vital role. Our contestants, Aleesha, Scott, and Taylor, have all proved they have what it takes during our pre-quiz, and now we’re going to test them on such pop culture topics as The Beatles, Baconsale brackets, movie cars, and late-night talk show hosts. We’ll spill a little tea (and soda), take on some tricky math, get judged by the peanut gallery and, of course, play the game of Baconsale.
     
    Who will be our Listener for the next year? How many buzzer rounds will we do? Which question categories were inspired by Kent? Press play to find out!

    Episode 445: Music Videos Killed the Podcast Stars

    Episode 445: Music Videos Killed the Podcast Stars

    We talk about movies & music all the time on Baconsale, so why not combine the two? Joel and Kent struggled while trying to decide which of their favorite music videos they should pick for categories such as Best Choreography, Favorite One-Hit Wonder Video, Most Inventive, and Made You Like the Song Less, whereas Zack is just trying to make the few music videos he’s seen in his life fit into each category. Nevertheless, we all decided that this episode is brought to you by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” and we’ve also limited how many OK Go videos we can pick.
     
    Whether you’re a fan of MTV, Fuse, VH1, The Box, YouTube, or Vevo, press play!
    Also, be sure to check out our YouTube playlist of the songs we try to describe on this episode.

    Episode 444: Mean Mr. Mustache

    Episode 444: Mean Mr. Mustache

    Listener, we mustache you a question. What are your thoughts on the mouth brow? On this episode of Baconsale, we’re facing the facts about facial hair, and rating some of the most famous lip rugs from pop culture. First, we’ll give you a quick history of mustaches (moustaches?). Then we’ll share our combined list of the top 20 flavor savors and the bottom five face caterpillars, which we ranked according to fullness, shape, uniqueness, iconic-ness, and face completion…ness. And remember, we’re not judging the character of the person, we’re just pondering the power of their nose neighbor.

    Episode 443: The Film of Movies! (Tournament Finals)

    Episode 443: The Film of Movies! (Tournament Finals)

    All right listener, rise and shine! And don’t forget your brackets because we’re going to finish our film of movies tournament! But how do you solve a problem like choosing between two great films? Well, if history has taught us anything, it's that Joel, Kent, and Zack can kill any movie. And once an idea has taken hold of their brains, it's almost impossible to eradicate. However, after each painful decision, we got to put our behind in our past, use the force, and show a little backbone. At times you may question how we can be so obtuse, or our picks may put you in the pit of despair or cause mass hysteria, however life finds a way and, we promise you, the dawn is coming.
     
    You may get a little mad at this Baconsale episode, but your kids are gonna love it. Press play!

    Episode 442: The Film of Movies!

    And here we go! Last season, Baconsale did tournaments for action, comedy, drama, thriller & family films and now, oh yeah, it’s all coming together. With your help, we’ve narrowed it down to 64 of the previously discussed movies, and we’ve let the cold, cruel hand of random fate decide where they go on this bracket. And that’s all we have to say about that. Now it’s up to Joel, Kent, and Zack to choose wisely when it comes to which precious movies we must say “so long, farewell,” and which ones we deem to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. It’s not easy for us to decide, as if what we do in this episode echoes in eternity, and some of our decisions may unleash the ten plagues of Egypt upon us, but this is the business we've chosen, and we hope you’re able to free your mind and enjoy a whole new world as we begin this journey.
     
    To make a long story short (too late!) press play to hear the first round of our film of movies tournament.

BACON! BACON! BACON!

I loved Kenny D on Radio Ronin, but Kent on Baconsale is the friend everyone needs in life. I love this podcast. It fills my cup with enough pop culture randomness to last me the week. I love the tournament, food and deep dive episodes! Can't recommend this podcast enough!!!

Best pop culture podcast

This show is so well crafted by these three guys! They take time to research their topics which means I always learn something when I listen! They don’t just sit down in front of a mic and jabber on about whatever comes to mind. I look forward to listening every week, and I laugh out loud every time I listen.

Keep it up!

Keep up the good job guys!
