Up For Debate

Tonight we begin our first ever in-depth series all about the history of the short lived sports experiment: the XFL. On the first part of our six part series, we dive deep into the backstory of the two men who made this league possible: Vince McMahon and Dick Ebersol. Plus we explore what was happening in the world of sports and television in 2000 that made this a great (or not so great) idea. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv

On this episode we spend some time discussing the fun of arts and crafts including the ones we did as kids, the ones we wish we were good at and the ones that would come in handy during an apocalypse. We spend even more time talking about other nonsense including the Daily Bugle versus the Daily Planet, Easy Bake Ovens and Levar Burton. upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebate Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

Our Movie League is back! On this episode we wrap up and announce the winner of the 2018 Summer League, then bring in six new teams to draft 30 movies that will make up their slate. The team with the highest domestic box office total will walk away with the most coveted prize in podcasting. It's the textbook definition of a can't miss episode! upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

On this episode we jump into circulation and discuss currencies from around the world! From giant stones to tasty spices, we cover the most unique and unusual ways people have gotten paid. Plus we get distracted (shocker!) and share some US president trivia and ask ourselves: what exactly is a "Pokemon"? upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

It's part 2 of our discussion on marketing stunts! This time we're sharing the one's that worked well. Can a fast food restaurant buy a national landmark? Can a pizza chain admit their food is bad? Whatever happened to Sinbad? (That last one is kind of unrelated) upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv

On this first part of a two part series, we discuss every brand's big opportunity: the viral marketing stunt. This time it's all about those that didn't go as planned. Should you release 1.5 million balloons over Cleveland? Should you offer everyone in America a free can of soda? Should you fake harass a stranger to market your car? Next time: we cover the memorable ones that went as planned...or better! upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

It's a special rewind episode where we republish from the vault! Enjoy the prequel to last week's trivia episode: This week we put our game show chops to the test in an episode filled with questions, challenges and a host of technical difficulties. It's Matt versus Colby and there can be only one winner on this week's Up For Debate at upfordebate.tv and on Soundcloud at @upfordebate.

It's finally time for the return of a semi-popular segment: a general knowledge trivia face off! This time Matt will look for redemption as he faces off against newcomer Colin in a winner-takes-all cage match of intellect. Who will rein supreme? upfordebate.tv Twitter: @upfordebatetv Proud member of the Coffee & Beer family of podcasts, streaming at coffeeandbeer.tv.

On this episode we begin by debating the best muffin flavors. Then we get into the real meat of the episode: sharks.
