Ep. 25: Deshaun Watson, Tom Brady and … Olivia Rodrigo?
Baseline to Bassline hits the historic quarter-century mark on this edition of the pod — recorded Thursday, Jan. 28. First, the guys discuss Deshaun Watson formally requesting a trade out of Houston and share the destinations where they’d most (or least) like to see the star quarterback end up (1:57). Then, Aidan basks in the glory of his NFL playoff picks while the guys preview Super Bowl LV (14:49). Knowing Aidan is completely out of touch with reality, Nathan picks the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, and the two discuss Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” while Nathan gets weirdly down bad and Aidan offers therapy (28:30). And on the freestyle segment, all signs point to Nathan delivering an astonishingly horrendous performance — but does he? (36:53)

Ep. 23: Emphasis on “Bassline”
To avoid disastrous NBA overreactions and maintain the holiday spirit, Aidan and Nathan deliver a music special for the ages on this episode of Baseline to Bassline. They start by giving their predictions for the AFC Wild Card spots and the NFC Least winner (2:07) before going into the song segment — and this time, there are not one, not two, but three tunes to dissect (17:18). Then, because Aidan’s song suggestion goes so well, Nathan has to balance out the music quality on the freestyle segment, and he comes through (40:51).
