Introduction

Season 1 · Episode 1

jeudi 19 février 2026 • Duration 23:01

Conan O'Brien

Season 1 · Episode 3

mardi 3 mars 2026 • Duration 57:19

Who doesn’t love two Harvard dweebs talking about jokes rather than telling them? The guys talk with Conan O’Brien about dopamine, families, why politicians aren’t funny, his new movie with Rose Byrne, and why Ben wants him to do a history podcast.

Al Michaels

Season 1 · Episode 2

mardi 24 février 2026 • Duration 01:02:46

The guys promised Conan, but when the USA defeats Canada in hockey — 46 years to the day after the 1980 Miracle on Ice — you gotta talk to Al Michaels. Ben, Chris, and Al talk about that incredible victory over the Soviet Union, the importance of sports, and a little bit about vocation. USA, USA, USA!

Mike Rowe

mardi 17 mars 2026 • Duration 01:10:18

Is the Dirty Jobs guy secretly America’s most popular philosopher? Mike Rowe joins the guys. This episode has everything: vomit, Stoics, turkey insemination, philosopher welders, wonder, and the problems with institutionalized childhood.

Caitlin Flanagan

Caitlin runs circles around the guys. They talk about deadlines (for writing and living), living with cancer, raising families, how truth has the last word, and a little bit about California.

Amy Coney Barrett

Season 1 · Episode 6

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Duration 53:53

Justice Barrett joins Ben and Chris. Ben shares his status as the founding member of the ACB for SCOTUS club. The three talk about how she writes her opinions, how parenting slows down the train, the importance of civics, and what horse-race political journalism gets wrong about the Supreme Court.

Season 1 · Episode 8

mardi 7 avril 2026 • Duration 01:19:31

Jonah joins the boys for their first in-person podcast. Friendship, morphine (higher than average morphine-brain for Ben), note cards, institutions, and journalism. Ben and Chris talk about the why behind the podcast. Wonks have fun too.

Chris Pratt

Season 1 · Episode 7

mardi 31 mars 2026 • Duration 01:18:03

The guys talk about hard work and hustle, the choices parents make, the ups, downs, and idols of success, and real vs Ned Flanders Christianity. The dude from Avengers, Jurassic Park, and Super Mario Bros. talks about how he wants his kids to understand what it means to be a man.

Season 1 · Episode 9

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Duration 01:10:45

mardi 21 avril 2026 • Duration 01:06:46

Ben and Chris talk a bit about their first jobs and how child labor laws are ruining the country. Then things get super nerdy when Nicholas Eberstadt joins the guys to talk about demographic decline, labor force participation, why men need work.
