The Hill We Die On https://amandajstockbridge.podbean.com A little bit of sibling rivalry, a lot of hot takes. What do you get when you have two siblings on opposite ends of the millennial spectrum who love to argue? Ridiculous conversations that make it feel like Thanksgiving Dinner everyday.

The Super Bowl.

Bryan likes football. Amanda likes… everything else. Which means this episode is about the game and the commercials, the halftime show, prop bets, food opinions that get way too intense, and why the Super Bowl somehow works even when you don’t actually care who wins.

No deep stats. No play-by-play. Just two people watching the same thing for very different reasons and arguing about it.
