THIS WEEK ON BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WE WELCOME ROB BACK TO THE THIRD CHAIR AND DIVE STRAIGHT INTO THE EXCITEMENT OF THE WORLD CUP DRAW, BREAKING DOWN EARLY REACTIONS, GROUP PREDICTIONS, AND ALL THINGS INTERNATIONAL SOCCER.

OF COURSE… DAD LIFE AND ON-CALL EMERGENCIES MAKE THEIR CAMEOS, SO A COUPLE OF US STEP AWAY MID-SHOW — BUT THE BANTER DOESN’T STOP. WE KEEP ROLLING INTO A HEATED DEBATE ON THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SELECTION, SHARING OUR THOUGHTS ON WHO DESERVED A SPOT, WHO GOT SNUBBED, AND THE LATEST NOTRE DAME DRAMA AROUND SKIPPING THEIR BOWL GAME.

WE ALSO GET INTO SOME FANTASY FOOTBALL ETIQUETTE (YES, SOME OF Y’ALL NEED THIS REMINDER), BEFORE WRAPPING UP WITH OUR FAN-FAVORITE SEGMENT: BANTER GAME-BY-GAME, WHERE WE BREAK DOWN EVERY NFL MATCHUP OF THE WEEK WITH OUR USUAL UNFILTERED TAKES.

College football is absolutely on fire, and we’re diving straight into the chaos. We kick things off with the shocking Lane Kiffin hiring and break down what needs to change in college football to stop the nonstop drama. Then we get into the Dylan Raiola rumors—Texas Tech?? Is he legit or just hype. We also tackle a real question: Are colleges failing to prepare star quarterbacks for the NFL? With so many high-profile QBs struggling, we unpack why the transition is falling apart. From there, we jump into our NFL Banter: game-by-game reactions, hot takes, and everything you might’ve missed this week. And to close it out, we ride the wave of Stranger Things Part 1 hype—talking about TV shows that truly lived up to expectations… and the ones that absolutely didn’t.

Tap in, drop your banter take in the comments, and let’s get into it.

THIS WEEK ON BANTER ON THE ROCKS, WE DIVE INTO THE RISING TREND OF A-LIST ACTORS STARRING IN HORROR MOVIES. WITH SCARLETT JOHANSSON OFFICIALLY JOINING THE CAST OF THE EXORCIST, WE ASK: WHO’S THE NEXT MAJOR MOVIE STAR ENTERING THE HORROR GENRE? IS HORROR BECOMING THE NEXT BIG WAVE IN HOLLYWOOD—AND COULD IT BE THE FUTURE HOME OF OSCAR-LEVEL PERFORMANCES? NEXT, WE GET INTO SOME HOLIDAY TRAVEL TIPS, THEME PARK STORIES, AND THE CHAOS OF NAVIGATING AMUSEMENT PARKS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. IF YOU’VE EVER BEEN “FLAT-TIRE’D” AT DISNEYLAND OR UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE STRUGGLE. WE BREAK DOWN EVERY NFL GAME OF THE WEEK IN OUR SIGNATURE NFL GAME-BY-GAME BANTER, SHARING REACTIONS, PREDICTIONS, AND HOT TAKES FROM AROUND THE LEAGUE. THEN WE SHIFT TO THE BIZARRE WORLD OF FESTIVAL FAILS WITH A CONVERSATION ABOUT PHNX FEST AND BILLY MCFARLAND’S LATEST ATTEMPT AT LAUNCHING A MUSIC FESTIVAL. AFTER THE WHOLE FYRE FESTIVAL DISASTER, CAN ANYONE REALLY TRUST THIS MAN’S “VISION”? OVER IN PIXEL GAMING, WE REVIEW THE LATEST CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS RATINGS, TALK GAMING CONTROVERSIES, AND ASK THE REAL QUESTION: WHO’S GETTING PAID FOR THESE REVIEWS? (BECAUSE IT’S NOT US… YET). FINALLY, WITH THANKSGIVING APPROACHING, WE WRAP UP WITH A FUN THANKSGIVING “THIS OR THAT” GAME FEATURING PROMPTS GENERATED BY CHATGPT—PERFECT FOR HOLIDAY VIBES AND GOOD LAUGHS.

GRAB YOUR DRINK, RELAX, AND JOIN US FOR ANOTHER WEEK OF UNFILTERED SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT, AND GAMING BANTER.
