My Buddy Hates That! Podcast

Oh man, Julian is back on his shiiiiiiz again. Let me ask you this, friendly listener; How are you listening to this podcast? Is it over a streaming service? Yeah...I thought so. Don't worry, Matt shares your frustration. 

In his latest bid to be completely disowned by his southern upbringing, Matt decides to really pour out his unreasonable (and probably way too personal) dislike of that ol' southern upgrade for literally any type of food; Ranch Dressing. And Julian? Well, Julian looks on and listens in utter disgust. 

Okay, to be fair, Julian doesn't hate Taylor Swift as a person. He just can't stand the freaking media monolith her brand has become. Why? Because he honestly just doesn't care about his Reputation. Eh? Eh? Hope you like song puns. If not, Speak Now. I mean...Call it What You Want, but truly, You Belong With...us. Let's just get into it and see if we get out Safe and Sound. Okay, for real, that's enough.    ...Teardrops On My Guitar. 

What do you do when two bands that you like release new singles relatively close to each other, and both bands are eternally tied to each other in a unique way because the singer of one band used to be the singer in the other band but then he started his own band and the old band continued with a new singer and you don't hate either of them, but it's just crazy and you need to podcast about it? You record and present a brand new little happy called "My Buddy Hates That...Hot Takes!" (Hence the different colored square). Today the buddies bring you...Blink 182 vs. Angels and Airwaves.  Links to the songs: Blink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SleFHBDZb8k Angels and Airwaves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9QLb7vDYi0

For the finale in our special "Matt Actually Hates Stuff" series, the buddies decide to really burn some rubber and each other, driving headlong into Matt's utter dislike of NASCAR. Julian, who also isn't really a fan, brings in special guest Brandon Long to help dissect what makes driving around in circles for hours a worthwhile Sunday afternoon. Can Brandon convince the boys that the checkered flag is worth it, or will it all just spin out of control and waste tons of gas? Start your engines, friends. 

For the second installment in our "Matt Actually Hates Stuff" series, Julian stealthily slithers his way into Matt's greatest hatred and fear: Snakes. 'Nuff said.     ...ssssssssnakessss

Just in time for Easter/ Holy Week/ Spring, we have a pastel colored, freshly bloomed episode for you. Have you ever wanted to celebrate this holiday or season with family or friends, only to have it decimated by the inclusion of one of the worst candies every created by man? Matt has, and in this episode he tells Julian (the fair one with the small mind) all about it. 

We need your help! Matt just doesn't hate things enough. Julian decides it's time to make a desperate plea to all (both) of our listeners for topics that Matt could potentially hate, and lays out a plan (some might even say a scheme) that could change everything for the My Buddy Hates That! Podcast.  Can you help out? Message the buddies on facebook or over on twitter with your topic ideas.

Why exactly do our favorite bands just up and decide to break up? Or, and worse yet, go on an "indefinite hiatus?" Why leave your fanbase in the lurch by being so vague and ominous (especially when most bands just get back together in a few short years)? What's with all the drama? Well, as you can imagine, one of our buddies (JULIAN) hates it. So, Matt (despite being in a band that is currently on indefinite hiatus) brings in an expert little tyrant to help his day late friend Julian understand the stranger ways of the band break(up) and why you can truly never take friendship personal. It's just impossible.  Special thanks to our friend Stephen from the incredible and recently reunited Anberlin! Check out everything going on with him and the band on their social media: @christianmusic @anberlin 

It's our first official "Reactions" episode! When the buddies receive quite a bit of feedback to their respective takes on Country Music, well...let's just say it seems they're both going to be hittin' Amarillo by morning. 

What do you do when one of your buddies gets a "0" on the Enneagram Personality Test? Listen to find out. 

Oh yes. We've all got them. Those "friends" who do Crossfit….and never shut up about it! Can Julian convince Matt that he's really just gone insane and joined some fancy new health cult, or will the buddies finally reach an impasse that no amount of burpees or high hang cleans could ever overcome?  We're so excited to have our friend Coach Sarah Willis (@crossfitcharizard on Instagram) come in and really give our boys the certified, L2 truth about one of the most popular types of fitness out there! For more info about her gym, head over to www.crossfitwilco.com!

We ain't skeered of this 'un! Today the buddies give their takes on the music of the heartland, country music. Can Matt convince Julian he's actually a pickup man? Can Julian understand the importance of John Deere Green? Is this entire episode just like ropin' the wind? Tune in and find out.  We also get our first taste of some listener feedback! Message us on Facebook or Twitter, and we'll read your feedback on the podcast. Be sure to make it especially scathing. The boys have a thing for pain. It's weird. 

What are two podcasters who are usually pitted against one another to do when they find that they actually agree on a dislike of something? Well, they bring in their friend Rob, (That's right, the 'no introduction needed' @RobOnTheRun himself) who happens to love what they both dislike, and who happens to be all around amazing anyway. After all, we can all agree that it ain't easy being green...or Julian, for that matter.  Follow @RobOnTheRun like right now!!!  

Yes, you read that right. The good thing that Julian decides to hate today is the Grammy award winning, universally liked, respected, and revered rock band the Foo Fighters. Where's the facepalm emoji on this thing?

As the buddies gear up for the 'end all, be all' of awards shows for the film industry, they're forced to ask themselves: Do we really even like this annual celebration of all things Hollywood? Matt tries to see some reasoning behind the program, while Julian puts on his other critical hat to tackle...the Oscars. 

When you have a friend that tries to hide a poor decision behind something called a "guilty pleasure," how do you handle it? That's a tough question for anyone, to be honest. Go ahead and listen in as Matt tries to intervene in the life of his buddy Julian.  We're also STOKED to welcome our first guest to the podcast, our friend Adam (@bachcritic on twitter), who provides valuable insight into Julian's strange fascination with...The Bachelor. 

What is a film school student to do with all of these remakes, reboots, spinoffs, and sequels that Hollywood keeps shoving down the throats of the movie-going public? Let's just pose the question to Julian and see where it takes us...

(Insert bass line intro here) I know what you're thinking. How? How could anyone hate a show about nothing? Well, Matt found a way. In fact, he found multiple ways. And Julian is simply not having it. 

This episode of MBHT takes you into the argument that started it all. Let's dive into why Julian liked, loved, then hated Ready Player One.
