IPAs 58:44

7M ago58:44

58:44

How did the IPA become THE most popular type of beer proliferating across the ever-growing craft brewing craze? For years (decades?), it has seemed like all the cool kids drank IPAs. This wasn't always the case; in fact, beer-drinking Boomers like David hardly touched an IPA on their way to passing out in their college dorm rooms. For that matter, …

The Final Girl, Part 2 34:36

7M ago34:36

34:36

The Boomers might have created her but boy, howdy, what has happened to her since! In Part 2 of our conversation on The Final Girl trope in slasher movies, we interrogate many of the ways more recent filmmakers have taken the fundamental trope and transformed, expanded and extrapolated it in wildly entertaining ways. If you haven't watched Jennifer…

The Final Girl, Part 1 1:02:45

8M ago1:02:45

1:02:45

Just in time for the Halloween season, Grace and David take their intergenerational conversation to the next level with a deep dive on The Final Girl, the movie trope that was initiated by Boomers but that has expanded, morphed and grown more fascinating as explored by Millennial filmmakers. In Part 1, we discuss the origins of the trope and use th…

IGMC: Animal House (1978) 56:53

8M ago56:53

56:53

The Intergenerational Movie Club continues with the Boomer classic, "Animal House." Lots of folks think they know this movie, but do they really? Or are they just remembering the clips and highlights? We dig into the connective tissue between the iconic scenes, do a semi-deep dive on the female characters, and perhaps unavoidably, revel in the Belu…

IGMC: 10 Things I Hate About You 58:08

9M ago58:08

58:08

Welcome to the first edition of the Intergenerational Movie Club, brought to you by Convince Me I Care! Whether you're a millennial or a boomer, sometimes you just want to Netflix and chill. So Grace and David have given their research staffs a little break and will spend at least the next couple episodes talking about movies that made a profound g…

Introducing: Didn't Read It! 1:02:56

9M ago1:02:56

1:02:56

Like most industrious millennials, Grace has more than one iron in the fire. With this episode, David fades into the obscurity all Boomers are bound for and hands over the reins to Grace at the helm of her new podcast, Didn't Read It: a podcast about books. For this conversation, the old white guy in the room has been dead for centuries, leaving a …

Steven Seagal 58:26

10M ago58:26

58:26

Among the action stars of the 1990s, Steven Seagal's rise to fame and subsequent descent into infamy has been the most baffling. How was this man able to have a career in the first place? Who thought that giving a pathological liar money, power and a platform was a good idea (spoiler: Michael Ovitz did)? The inexplicability of it all prompts Grace …

Furbys 57:20

10M ago57:20

57:20

Artificial intelligence has been fascinating and scaring people for decades. Years before the current freak-out about ChatGPT and other SkyNet wannabes, there was something even creepier that parents were actually welcoming into their homes: Furbys! These totally-not-a-Gremlin rip-offs provide a great jumping off point for topics like what did cutt…

Jam Bands 50:42

11M ago50:42

50:42

Are you, like Grace, befuddled by the idea of seeing the same band over and over again? Did you party down at Bonnaroo and are already looking ahead to Lollapalooza? Whatever you think or think you know the Grateful Dead, Phish, or any other Jam Band, you'll learn something from this spicy conversation about this genre that's not really a genre. Ha…

Twilight 1:03:50

11M ago1:03:50

1:03:50

Team Edward? Team Jacob? Team Confused-Old-Guy? For better or worse (many would argue better), there is a generation of folks who missed the "Twilight" craze. But actors like Kristin Stewart and Robert Pattison stubbornly insist on having ongoing careers, often making admirable artistic choices. Their persistence prompts curiosity about their origi…

McMansions 53:36

11M ago53:36

53:36

What were they thinking? A generation of homeowners have splurged on huge houses that are ugly, bad investments and an ecological disaster. In this episode, David and Grace dig deeper into the myopic belief in "bigger is better" when it comes to housing. Along the way, we venerate a millennial hero, chart the growth in suburban square footage, make…

#VanLife 54:24

12M ago54:24

54:24

David has wandered into confusing Instagram channels and Grace is challenged to go beyond convincing him to care about #vanlife to reassuring him that he shouldn't be concerned. The result is a rambling romp down the history of itinerrant lifestyles from pre-Colonial America to the Beats to modern-day influencers. And you may be shocked - SHOCKED -…

Wine Moms 1:11:19

1y ago1:11:19

1:11:19

In honor of the Mother's Day that just passed, Grace and David celebrate their support of every type of mom there is by digging into the legacy of the Wine Mom. Why has the cheeky insouciant cry of "Rosé all day!" been twisted in some quarters into another reason to put down already put upon moms? How did an overhyped hysteria around Mother's Littl…

Boomer Men and Meat 56:58

1y ago56:58

56:58

Can David convince Grace to come even close to caring about MEAT as much as a boomer dad? Probably not, but it's entertaining to hear him try, and listen in to learn all sorts of surprising, maybe disturbing, facts about men and their relationship with meat. You'll also hear about Slaughterhouse Grace and wonder along as Grace and David consider wh…

Nickelodeon 1:10:38

1y ago1:10:38

1:10:38

This time the onus is on Grace to convince David to care about the TV network that imbues the '90s with a slight orange hue for many people, Nickelodeon. As many boomer dudes may be, he's completely iClueless about shows like iCarly. But the influence of the network and the abundantly expanded Nick-verse seems to persist and David is a bit befuddle…

Fancy Awards Shows 1:04:01

1y ago1:04:01

1:04:01

In our inaugural episode, we tackle a seasonal affliction that Grace considers an outdated relic, the Fancy Awards Show. While the Oscars were last month, the seemingly endless parade of glitzy galas pimping out gold-plated statuettes continues throughout the spring. Can David convince Grace that these overstuffed, overlong, and overhyped pageants …

Every generation projects its frustration onto the one that preceded it and its disappointment onto the one that followed. It's a time-honored tradition, like apple pie, or desperately hoping you'll get to retire before society finishes collapsing. And Convince Me I Care, debuting on April 5th, is here to stoke those fires of resentment! Join co-ho…

One does not simply miss this week's episode... We're going medieval on ya! This week, we look at two massive franchises, one that owned the movie theaters and one that owned the television screen. They share some commonalities. They're both in a medieval fantasy setting. They both involve massive power struggles with epic battles. They both killed…

Episode 61 - Appointed Cases Vol. 1 1:07:54

3y ago1:07:54

1:07:54

In a court of law, attorneys are often appointed to cases and sometimes, they have to argue on little to no beforehand knowledge of the details. This week we're bringing that flavor to the Convince Me Courtroom! Six arguments that are argued completely blindly and chaos may ensue. Check it out and let us know what you think! Make sure to keep up wi…

3y ago1:25:05

1:25:05

Texas and Oklahoma's departure to greener pastures leaves the Big 12 looking less and less like a power conference. But could a new conference take their place as a "Power 5"? This week Rut and Elrod each create a new conference from the remnants of the Big 12 and other schools not in a Power 5 conference and see who can convince Bennett that their…

Episode 59 - 80s Toy Lines Draft 1:00:04

3y ago1:00:04

1:00:04

While it may not be acceptable for grown men to play with toys, it's absolutely acceptable for them to reminisce on the toys of their childhood! This week, we get in the way-back machine and visit the 1980s and peruse the aisles of Toys R' Us and other classic toy stores as Rut and Bennett draft and debate the classics we all remember and still lov…

Episode 57 - Jay Leno vs. David Letterman 1:08:03

1:08:03

With Conan O'Brien stepping away from late night television, it's hard not to think of a particular public debacle he endured in his career, and from there, it's easy to go back to the late night TV rivalry that spanned 20+ years. It started with the retirement of the King of Late Night Johnny Carson and it settles this week in the Convince Me Cour…

Episode 56 - Independence Day Hodgepodge 43:57

Happy birthday America! As a gift to you the listener, our way of showing our remorse for not getting a show out last week is to give you two this week! In this episode we look at all things associated with the 4th of July and break down such topics as: Is a hot dog eating competition a sport? Shoot your own fireworks or go to a show? Is it disresp…

Episode 55 - Team Jack vs Team Tiger Golf Draft 46:02

3y ago46:02

46:02

If you had asked us before this week what the odds were of Elrod, not only contributing a show idea, but a good one that we would use, we would have told you they were about as good as Phil Mickelson's odds to make history this weekend and winning the career Grand Slam at the U.S. Open. But here we are! This week, in anticipation of this weekend's …

Episode 53 - Clint Black vs. Clay Walker 1:12:08

3y ago1:12:08

1:12:08

It has been well established on this show that Rut and Elrod like to argue with each other. This week, it shows that this isn't just a schtick for the podcast. This topic stems from a group chat argument and it finds its way onto the pod to settle it... Two country music artists from a time period that country music was really booming and had a lot…

Episode 52 - Best Wrestler Draft 1:25:04

3y ago1:25:04

1:25:04

A&E is putting out weekly wrestling biographies. Dark Side of the RIng is back on Vice TV. Rut appeared on Sean Waltman's podcast last week.

This week, it's another trip to our pre-podcast days! This was the 2nd episode we recorded and the first time we got a little long winded (which we try to control nowadays).
