Napoleon Dynamite is 20 years old…can you believe it? The most impressive part is that if you visit Preston, Idaho (really, it’s just Northern Utah), the town hasn’t aged at all!
Join Nate and Brandon as they discuss this cult classic and Utah phenomenon that thrived in theaters back in 2004! Can Brandon and Nate remember all of the best quotes, or are they just a bunch of IDIOTS?!? (I know you read that in Napoleon’s voice).
What are your favorite quotes from the movie? Let us know!

Nate can’t contain himself in today's episode as he talks about the thrill of a deal. Learn how he didn’t spend $10, but profited $240 on a trip to Big Deal Outlet. Brandon is still learning the ways of the deal but he still hasn’t figured out how to make $78 buying Eddie Bauer shorts like Nate has. To end the episode, Brandon and Nate revisit a fan favorite segment: google reviews.
This episode expires July 1, 2024, but you should be fine if you come across it after that date.

This week, Brandon shares his experience of attending his first Real Salt Lake game. He discusses his feelings of being an imposture at America First Stadium because he isn’t familiar with the team and the fact that they are currently leading the West. What do you think? Do you need to know the team and sport really well to not be an imposture, or can you proudly sing the Real song as if you’ve been cheering for them your entire life?

This week, Nate doesn’t hold back on how he really feels about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Harry is reunited with Han, Leia, Yoda, and Obi Wan to…..wait, wrong movie.
Listen in as Nate rants about things being too convenient and easy for Harry. Maybe he has a point. But we keep reassuring Nate that the movies get better. So you can look forward to our next installment of Nate watching Harry Potter for the first time! I’m sure Nate will love the dementors, when they suck the soul out of you, and it hurts!

This week, we are joined by Austin Facer from SLC Puck to discuss Utah’s NHL team and Austin’s podcast that follows the team. Austin has a background in sports writing and grew up playing hockey, so he knows a thing or two about the NHL and hockey in general. This is an exciting time for Utah, and especially hockey fans in our great state!
Listen in as we discuss the potential team names, team traditions, and toss around some team songs. After listening, be sure to check out SLC Puck on YouTube, your preferred podcast app, or slcpuck.com.

Kilby Court is celebrating its 25th anniversary. What is the best way for us to celebrate with them? Attend the Kilby Block Party to see some of our favorite performers, including Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service, Courtney Barnett, and the loudest band, Dinosaur Jr.! At least we hope that is what YOU are doing because we won’t be attending this year. So we decided to talk about it instead. It may be a shed but it seems everyone has been there to witness their favorite band in an intimate setting. Share with us your favorite band you saw perform at Kilby Court. We’ll give you a shout out when we record our episode covering their 50th anniversary!
