The Socially Distanced Podcast was created by two pop culture-obsessed dads during COVID who decided to take their Facebook messenger conversations and turn them into a podcast. In 2022 they brought their friend, a pop culture-obsessed mom to the show, and things got even better!
Join hosts Amanda Rivas and Bill Bodkin as they discuss everything in the world movies, music, sports, television and pop culture — everything keeping them sane in this time of socially distancing. This podcast is powered by ThePopBreak.com.
Socially Distanced reconvenes the NFC East Group Therapy Session for one last visit for the 2025-2026 NFL season.
Bill Bodkin and Amanda Rivas are joined by Marshall Stevenson of Blerd Watchers, and Ben Murchison & Al Mannarino of Don’t Tail This to discuss the Big Game on Sunday between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. They discuss if the Pats and Drake Maye are for real or the luckiest team alive, and if the Seahawks can dominate like everyone’s predicted or will the ghosts of not running Marshawn Lynch come back to haunt them. They also discuss the performances of Bad Bunny and Green Day and the trailers they’re hoping for while also fantasy booking the halftime performer for next year.
They also take time to discuss the coaching decisions that have happened to their teams – the New York Football Giants, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Bill and Al celebrate the hiring of new head coach John Harbaugh, Marshall looks at the new OC for Philly as a sign of turning things around, Ben is confident they’ve found the right OC for Jayden Daniels, and Amanda continues her perpetual mourning over Jerry Jones still owning the Cowboys.
In a quick pre-game, they discuss the shows they’re loving right now — The Muppet Show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Wonder Man and more!
