Eddie Just Realized He Made a Huge Mistake

The Difference Between Confidence and Delusion

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from June 15th. The guys recap a great weekend for Team USA and find themselves in a heated debate over just how confident is too confident after a survey reveals that way too many people think they could score a penalty kick in a World Cup match. Reed doubles down on his belief that he could find the back of the net, Eddie proposes putting that confidence to the test against a real goalkeeper, and things only get more ridiculous when Reed explains why superpowers like invisibility, immortality, and walking through walls might actually be terrible. Plus, Eddie defends his son's newfound dream of becoming a clown, the guys debate whether employees should be expected to attend meetings outside of work hours, and Reed once again finds himself talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

A Million Dollars Wasn't Enough

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from June 12th. Reed starts the show convinced something is off and immediately puts the pressure on Eddie to make him laugh, the guys debate just how much America loves ketchup, battle it out in a few rounds of fast trivia, and argue over a Top 5 list that has Reed demanding sources. Plus, Eddie defends his sports card hobby from accusations that it's basically gambling, a lottery winner's decision to give his parents $1 million sparks an Am I the A-Hole debate, Reed gets unexpectedly invested in the plot of Blank Check, and the guys wonder what they would do if they found out their spouse was secretly an FBI agent. They wrap things up with a conversation about AI, Pokémon Go data, Google Maps simulations, and whether we're all already living in the Matrix.

How Much Lying Is Too Much Lying?

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from June 11th. The guys put a new dating trend called "kittenfishing" under the microscope and quickly found themselves debating where the line is between stretching the truth and straight-up lying. They also imagined their dream backyards if money was no object, from outdoor kitchens and tiki bars to giant fences and movie-style pool slides. Plus, Eddie's World Cup collectible cup quest ended in disappointment, mosquitoes may be learning faster than we'd like, and a time machine conversation somehow turned into a debate about witnessing some of history's biggest moments. Add in Mountain Dew-flavored Kwik Trip Dunkers, World Cup fever, and a few questionable ideas along the way, and you've got another afternoon with Reed and Eddie.

Reed Found a New Hill to Die On

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from June 10th. Eddie has a big idea involving a lie detector test and wants to put Reed, Katie, and Nick on the hot seat with some workplace questions. Reed and Eddie compare shopping styles, discuss why guys seem determined to get in and out of stores as quickly as possible, and react to the stormy weather that had everyone staring at the sky. Somehow that leads to a debate about worms, caves, directions, and whether you always know where your body is in space. Reed becomes determined to prove his point, Eddie becomes determined not to give in, and the argument ends up lasting way longer than either of them expected. Plus, the strange controversy surrounding Supergirl’s pierced ears, tricks for getting people to like you, the iced tea versus ice tea debate, outrageous NBA Finals ticket prices, and Eddie gets ready for what he considers the greatest month every four years as the World Cup finally arrives.

Eddie Was Not Prepared for Reed's Theory

Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from June 9th. Reed kicks off the show by venting about Netflix turning Scooby-Doo into a real dog, the guys swap stories about things they wish they had bought years ago, and Reed discovers he's not alone in losing every battle against a water flosser. They also debate whether cruises are relaxing or terrifying after discussing what happens if you fall overboard, tackle a round of Hot Take Tuesday, and dive into a conversation about Steven Spielberg, aliens, and conspiracy theories. Then Reed drops a theory that leaves Eddie in tears laughing: he's not convinced the kid in his childhood photos is actually him. Add in hardware store anxiety, terrible Donald Duck impressions, and a Tuesday that felt way too much like a Monday, and you've got another afternoon with Reed and Eddie.
