Description

The boys are back and in high spirits to discuss television’s saddest comedy, The Bear! After much badgering from Justin, Geoff has finally caught up with the FX drama and has many opinions on season three. Will Carmy ever overcome his demons? Why doesn’t his restaurant have a sign? Geoff and Justin also discuss the bizarre Paris Olympics opening ceremony, Lady Gaga, Céline Dion, The Can Can, Flushgate, Joker: Folie à Deux, the return of Robert Downey Jr. to Marvel movies, and recording a BANTS! original song. Did we just write the song of the summer?! Tune in to find out!
