E55 Kid Show Bracket and Breaking Ankles To Kill Time

·48 min·3 clips

Dylan keeps saying he’s “retired,” then gets dragged to pickup basketball and twists his ankle.

1. To Kill Time Podcast centers this episode on a pickup-basketball injury, a Fortnite OG comeback, a kids-TV bracket, and daylight savings time. 2. Kane, TJ, and Travis host the episode together, while Dylan matters because the basketball invite turns into a torn-ligament update and a walking boot. 3. The episode asks what happens when nostalgia, competition, and bad timing all hit the same week. 4. Kane and TJ spend nearly an hour trying to get Dylan to play basketball, offering rides and meeting him in B-Spa. 5. Dylan says he is “retired” from basketball before finally showing up at the gym. 6. The gym is described as tight, crowded, and unusually full after Dylan arrives. 7. Dylan lands awkwardly on a layup, starts limping, and has to call for a sub. 8. The hosts later learn he went to orthopedics, has torn ligaments, and is wearing a walking boot. 9. Dylan says the doctor is trying to get him ready in two weeks for a snowboarding instructor trip to Vermont. 10. The hosts keep returning to how the one time he agreed to play led to the injury. 11. The Fortnite discussion focuses on Epic Games bringing back the OG map in season five form. 12. The hosts say build mode feels fun because many returning players are still rusty. 13. They mention games with 30-plus kills, a second-place finish, and a one-pump death near Salty Springs and “PP Mountain.” 14. The conversation also names old Fortnite weapons like the minigun, the LMG, and the drum gun. 15. The movie section uses Elemental and Lightyear to argue that brief lines and quick scenes get blown out of proportion. 16. One coworker’s reaction to a “gender fluid” line in Elemental becomes the main example. 17. TJ’s bracket covers kids and teen TV shows like Teen Titans, Drake and Josh, Scooby-Doo, Avatar, and Wizards of Waverly Place. 18. The bracket conversation is loose, competitive, and full of quick calls about which shows still hold up. 19. Listeners who like nostalgic TV rankings, gaming nostalgia, and friend-group banter would fit this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tightly focused interview or a single-topic deep dive should skip it.
