Basement Bar

The Boys Get Drafted - ft. Austin O'Connor & Mark Bechtold

Hey, you're back for more Basement Bar! I hope you like mild microphone echoes and the background noise of a loving grandma playing with a very loud and energetic baby upstairs. I welcome a dastardly duo of dudes to dive into some devious debates: * -What has it been like to live with the fellas in the great city of Chicago? * -If KeHE is so darn great of a company, then why are both going to school so hard to escape it? * How did Mark's Celtics overcome Jayson Tatum's corniness to win the NBA Finals? * Why does Austin hate Pickleball and old people so much? * Who would make a better president: Joe Biden or Aegon Targaryen? * Who will DRAFT the Best Moments in History??? (Recorded July 9th, 2024)

Inaugural Episode - ft. Kelly Nichol

Welcome to the Basement Bar! We kick off the podcast with my fiancée/roommate/baby mama: Kelly Nichol. Kelly and I take a break from parenting a 1-year-old to talk about tons of interesting topics: * -What has it been like for Kelly becoming a mom, moving to the suburbs, and changing jobs? * -How has Fantasy Baseball been going, and why am I just so much better than her? * -Who will prove more controversial in Chicago sports: Angel Reese or Caleb Williams? * -How will Season 2 of House of the Dragon be if we don't remember anything from Season 1? * -How have video games progressed since we were kids, and what have been some of our all-time favorites?
