Up For Debate

On this haphazard episode of Up For Debate, we begin by talking about the excitement of space travel and the dangers of riding on the Magic School Bus. Then we get to the "meat" of the program by discussing sandwiches! What exactly is a sandwich? What's the most popular sandwich? How can Matt and Shaun innovate the next generation of sandwiches? It's an episode best enjoyed between two slices of bread... http://upfordebate.tv http://facebook.com/upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

This week we begin by discussing the most successful athlete to entertainer transition (and the answer may surprise you!). Then we discuss half hour comedies post-2000 starting with The Office (should we remember it fondly) and It's Always Sunny (how do they stay so consistent?). This episode was not filmed in front of a live studio audience... http://upfordebate.tv LIVE Thursday nights at 8:30pm EST at http://facebook.com/upfordebatetv

On this episode we're joined by Phil Lopez to discuss the ins and outs of moving. That may include: -Matt's love of Ikea meatballs -What's the best kind of mattress? -How Shaun cheated to buy an office chair -Why Matt should be your interior decorator And so much more! http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @UpForDebateTV http://facebook.com/upfordebatetv

On an episode we could easily describe as a mess, Matt and Shaun are initially joined by special guest Phil to discuss weird interview questions. Instead, Phil loses his connection a few minutes in, we diagnose Matt's speed issues, then get on topic by talking about Batman, honeydew melon and how amazing Chick-fil-a is. We're sure you'll enjoy regardless (or your money back!) http://upfordebate.tv http://facebook.com/upfordebatetv http://soundcloud.com/upfordebate

On this episode of Up For Debate, we take a closer look at the Olympics. Which sports deserve to make the cut? (Team sports out, odd sports in) How can the games be saved from massive budget overruns? (Hint: it's called Olympic Island) All that plus more fun facts than you can count! http://upfordebate.tv http://fb.com/upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

On this episode we begin with the topic of what the future of media might look like. We instead spend roughly 30 minutes talking about how amazing Ho use Hunters is ("But we need space for entertaining!"), then spend a little time discussing why the old technology of paper books is superior to digital books. Unsurprisingly we go off the rails yet again on this edition of Up For Debate. http://upfordebate.tv http://facebook.com/upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

On this episode we discuss official United States symbols (the national mammal is the bison?) and pick a few of our own (what would be the country's official beverage?). It's apple pie, cold milk, banjo music and and America's past time on Up For Debate. http://upfordebate.tv Facebook: http://fb.com/upfordebatetv Subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Soundcloud, via RSS and in most major podcast apps

On this Up For Debate, we conduct another creative challenge in which we must create our own fictional minor league baseball team! We start with a location (Grit City), then pick a team name and mascot (Matt draws her and it's kind of terrifying), then develop some game promotions and events (Mystery Stew Night anyone?). Plus, submit your names for our fake stadium using #TacomaGrits to be entered to win a free t-shirt! Laugh along as we create the next great sports franchise. http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

On this episode we take an alternate look at history as we "un-invent" some of life's great works and imagine a world where they never existed in the first place. How would you drive without a steering wheel? How would you write without instruments? What if we didn't have to wear fancy blue jeans? Hear how the world would change on this episode of Up For Debate! http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebate Subscribe on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, via RSS and in most major podcast apps

On this episode we play our first round of "This or That", the game that puts two options together in a head-to-head battle with no theme or reason. Sunny D or Hawaiian Punch (or Capri Sun or Juicy Juice)? Chutes or Ladders? Soup or Salad? We make the ultimate judgement calls on this episode of Up For Debate! http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

On this episode we try to talk about the season of Spring, but instead spend most of the episode talking about such diverse topics as "real" fun facts, the enjoyment of Pop Up Brady, what makes a great fruit salad (bananas?) and if the Assassin's Creed movie will be just another bad video game adaptation. Get every topic we've ever discussed on our website http://upfordebate.tv and be sure to follow along with our Summer Movie League at http://upfordebate.tv/draft

On this episode, we begin by following up on the Summer Movie League and take our best guesses on who will be victorious at the end of the summer. Then, we each South America's favorite movie snack, chocolate covered ants & crickets! (Spoiler alert: it doesn't go well) Then we actually talk about our topic: drafts (or draughts). We bounce from Aquaman to Rodger Goodell and more! Catch up on past episodes at http://upfordebate.tv and subscribe at http://upfordebate.tv/subscribe.

In this blockbuster episode, we talk about the cinema experence and the great concessions that go with them! First, what the future of the movie industry might look like and whether the cinema can survive the 21st century. Then we get to the food including candies by film genre, weird foods from around the world, and the growing idustry of in-theatre dining. And now, our featured presentation... http://upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv upfordebatetv@gmail.com

On this odd mix of an episode, we spend the first half talking about classic urban legends including Walt Disney's frozen head, alligators in the sewers and missing kidneys. Then half way through we take a sharp turn and start talking about chewing gum! Which is better: hard shell or soft gum? Why does Juicy Fruit suck so much? Is cinnamon gum that refreshing? It's like two episodes in one! Get all the info on the show on our website, http://upfordebate.tv and follow us on Twitter @upfordebatetv.

This episode is all about America's favorite dish: the pizza! We discuss the endless ways you can eat this confectionery treat from crusts and sauces, to toppings and take out. Is pineapple an acceptable pizza topping? Does deep dish have too much crust? Get all our answers on this episode via http://upfordebate.tv.

On this episode we indulge in a creative exercise creating products, brands and commercials around some interesting requirements.
