On this episode, we break down how each matchup in our Beach Boy Album bracket shook up, and I gotta say: THINGS! WERE! CLOSE! No real tangents in this episode, but we do talk about why Pet Sounds is the greatest album of all time, our recent experience at Brian Wilson's concert in Long Beach, and one quick mention of MTV's The Challenge. Also, Nia attempts to play God Only Knows on Garageband?!

Wyatt Funderburk was our guest on Monday's pod, and if we've whetted your appetite for The Beach Boys, go check out his podcast Sail On: The Beach Boys Podcast :) And in Sail On tradition, there's another lil bonus if you stick around til the end ;)

On this episode, we break down EVERY. SINGLE. BEACH BOYS STUDIO ALBUM (plus three additional records). We talk about which albums we love, which albums we don't like as much, and why we think Pet Sounds is pretty much unbeatable. Tangents include but aren't limited to: Nia not having ever listened to Still Cruisin', how John Stamos and He Who Must Not Be Named (Mike Love) nearly ruined Dennis's legacy, and Trent's old improv team, Carl and the Passions. If you want to brush up on your Beach Boys knowledge, check out this official Tourney Pod playlist.

Our guest this week is Wyatt Funderburk, host of The Sail On Podcast and all-around Beach Boys enthusiast. If you're interested in learning more about these albums, Wyatt and his co-hosts John and Will do serious deep dives of the catalogue on Sail On, so be sure to check them out!

On this episode, we tell you who won our Challenge competitor bracket. We discuss how we seeded (again), who won by big margins, and who barely squeaked by.

Well, we're in the middle of a whacky 64-seeder, so we thought we'd update you on how we think the Olympics have gone so far. We talk about which events we've watched the most, which ones we've watched the least, and what it means to be an Olympian/professional athlete now that we're both adults. We didn't stray too far on this one, though we do, in the briefest of ways, mention America's greatest rock 'n' roll band, The Beach Boys ;)
