The Rank Bank

When the sports world was introduced to two new team names within a week, comedian Dave Primiano told his friend and fellow comedian Dan Getz "we should do a limited series podcast where we rank all the team names in sports". Then they did that, and after they were done, they decided "Hey, let's just keep ranking stuff". Thus was born "The Rank Bank", where each week they are joined by a panel of experts (Philly comedians) to rank all things ranging from unimportant to really unimportant.
