You know what the cure for the summertime blues is? Baconsale! Today we’re discussing (and sometimes singing) the biggest summer tunes from 1960 to 2017. Kent and Joel have each picked their favorite & least favorite hits from each decade, along with an alternate #1 song of their choice—based on Billboard data, personal preference and imaginary Jeep rides with the boys.

Posted on by Joel

Grab some gillyweed, because Baconsale is doing a deep dive into the Harry Potter film franchise! Jacob has come up with more than 100 ridiculously specific questions about The Prisoner of Azkaban (we’re talking “How many crows are there in Hagrid’s pumpkin patch?” kind of stuff) and Kent & Joel are going head-to-head to see who can remember more from their multiple viewings. And with two chile verde burritos on the line, the stakes have never been higher!

So, first watch the third Harry Potter movie and then press play!

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K, because Baconsale is doing another round of ranking high school movies. This time, however, our Final Destination is supernatural, sci-fi and horror films.

We’ve also included beloved classics like Harry Potter, Back to the Future and Encino Man, as well as box office phenomenons like the Twilight Saga and I Am Number Four.

Baconsale Episode 156: TV Seasons of Love

In every television series a peak is created: one season in all the show, a chosen one. It alone can wield the strength and skill to fully entertain Kent, Joel and the ever-coughing Jacob. Baconsale is talking TV today, and we’re picking our favorite seasons of 20 popular TV shows, including Friends, Game of Thrones, The Simpsons, Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, Breaking Bad, Seinfeld, Saved by the Bell, The Office and The X-Files.

Baconsale Episode 155: My Bae Michael Bay

Posted on by Joel

Okay, listener, this show is your fault. You voted and have forced us do an episode where we have to defend Michael Bay, even though we may not want to. Kaboom! However, Kent and Joel brought in Dan Farnsworth, a friend of the show and a legitimate fan of movies like Transformers, The Rock, The Island, Bad Boys and even Pearl Harbor to help us stay positive and not constantly point out how this director’s movies are often nothing but car chases, CGI and explosions. Kaboom!

So crank up the epic music, throw in some lens flares and press that play button in slow motion. Kaboom!

Baconsale Episode 154: Baconsale-Approved Office Etiquette

Posted on by Joel

Uh-oh! Looks like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays! Don’t worry, Baconsale is here to get you through the workday with our office etiquette show! Jacob, Joel and Sprinkles are ready to give the final ruling on things like cooking fish in the break room microwave, sitting on people’s desks and “private” cubicle conversations. We’ll also tackle broader topics like dating in the workplace and how work acquaintances can become real friends. In fact, the greatest weakness of this episode is that we work too hard, we care too much, and we’re too invested in this podcast.

Now put in your headphones so you don’t disturb your coworkers and press play!
