242: The Brain Rot Episode

Is your brain suffering from too much screen time? Oxford University Press seems to think so, as they have declared “brain rot” the 2024 Word of the Year. In this piece, we explore why this term resonates so much in today’s society and how it connects to the extended Black Friday shopping craze. Additionally, we discuss the growing trend of breweries transforming into game night venues—because what could be better than enjoying board games with a cold beer? Meanwhile, Matt takes a firm stance by opting out of all Juan Soto trade rumors and refuses to speculate on prospects. Join us for a mix of baseball drama, clever wordplay, and some light-hearted brewery discussions!

FUNNY BUSINESS

A podcast where Mike and Matt share internet stories or news that should be important to you. You’ll hear about strange news and personal experiences, and every once in a while, Mike will quiz Matt on some of the oddest things he can find. We’ll also dive into some of our original segments, like describing some of our strangest stories, debating if soccer is more boring than golf, and even talking about our feelings, as every man should. Funny Business is a podcast run by Mike and Matt, two friends who met at college and decided to start this project during the pandemic of 2020.
