Life is Funny

This week, the guys are hitting on healthcare, and whether it's as hard to understand as it seems. Evan really doesn't get (or have) health insurance, and even though Josh has seen it in action, he isn't an expert either! And now that Josh is over the hill, he's getting the senior special at the doctor's office... The guys also discuss whether their hometown of Westfield is rea...

This week, the guys get into a good debate about whether salary caps should exist in sports. Josh starts as a proponent of putting a cap in play, but Evan pushes back on the idea, especially given the way MLB is trying to pitch the issue. It leads to some fun sports discussion that they don't usually have, even if they aren't exactly experts on the subject. The guys also discuss the dastar...

This week, the guys get to talk about life being funny! Evan gets to break down his new comedy class, and maybe he can bring some upgraded humor to the podcast. But don't hold your breath... The guys also talk about whether you should pay for a fishing license if you don't actually catch any fish, and whether they just follow the rules anyway because it makes them feel better. Josh is a bi...

This week, the guys test their luck and talk about getting lucky. Evan considers himself to be a pretty fortunate individual who has good things come his way, and Josh is in a similar boat. But do they rely on pennies and four-leaf clovers, or do they make their own luck by being kind to others? Being nice definitely helps, and it can lead to some nice behavior coming right back. The guys also tal...

This week, the guys discuss some dastardly dolphins doing their dirty dancing on Evan's trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. Despite being too preoccupied to put on their usual show, the dolphins did a different kind of show that wasn't family-friendly. And the walruses followed suit! In other animal news, the guys break down dog years and ask why animal years became a unit of measurement to begi...

This week, the guys try to figure out whether furthering your education in a formal setting will set you up for sustained success, or whether going back to school is far from cool. These days, going to college is less cool than Josh and Evan remember it, but that hasn't stopped Josh from thinking he might want to make it big with an MBA. While they both have no hope of making it into the NBA,...

This week, the guys get to discuss whether Evan should sell out and set his sights on a sales job. After being sold on the chance to be essentially set for life (or at least make a lot of money) after just two years of selling his soul, Evan has to decide whether it makes sense to commit all of his time, energy, and life to door-to-door sales for the next two-plus years. Josh weighs in, and the gu...

This week, the guys get together to gab about the biggest board/card game event of the year: Gen Con! Evan's second straight year at the event might not have been quite as fun as his first, but at least he didn't get rained on indoors! Instead, he had his own waterworks in the form of tears after epically failing to win a free game with friends. However, his epic "sticking it to the m...

This week, the guys FINALLY get back to recording after their schedules have been tough to sync. Between Josh being busy before a work trip and then Evan's exciting time as an NFL employee, there are plenty of things to discuss! Namely, the NFL Flag Football Championships came to Westfield, and Evan was right in the middle of the action. Grand Park was poppin', and it turns out that flag f...

This week, the guys are going over their top things from the first half of 2026 as part of their usual biannual breakdown. Both Josh and Evan have plenty of highlights to hit, and they dive right in after recapping following an off week. What movies are in the must-watch category? Are there specific shows worth binging? How about Josh's best books or Evan's greatest games? Listen in to hea...

This week, the guys are gearing up for the Fourth of July, but Josh isn't jumping for joy like usual for his former(?) favorite holiday. Whether it's because he's been under the weather, or whether it's because he's lost his childhood wonder is up for debate. Do the guys think that any holidays hold the same place in our hearts these days? They try to figure out if they really...

This week, the guys have some thoughts about human interaction, especially when it happens in a customer service setting. Evan has literally been on the phone for days on end, and he was basically locked in a loop of talking to an automated answering machine with no end in sight. So, did he break through and talk to a person? Or is he still stuck?! Josh and Evan also had a funny ice cream customer...

This week, Evan has some historic helicopter happenings to harp on! While Josh is under the weather, Evan is flying high after some special high flying. He takes Josh through the ins and outs of his wild ride, including some very cool moments with his Vietnam War Veteran grandpa. There are plenty of Fact of the Week tidbits mixed in, and it turns out that Josh might have some similar small-town fa...

This week, the guys reconvene for some chitchat after Josh's Canadian conquest. There are a couple of things to recap from his trip up north, but the guys still don't have clarity on exactly how to pronounce Toronto like a local, despite Josh claiming he's a convincing Canadian. In other news, Evan had some wiener trouble of the dog variety, and it caused some pre-travel problems that...

This week, the guys found out some fun news and may have a new most famous friend! With an officially MLB pitcher officially in the rolodex, Josh is pretty confident that he has a most famous friend, and Evan is trying to figure out who takes his top spot. Funnily enough, is there any chance that any listeners out there consider a certain podcast host(s) to be their most-famous friend(s)? The guys...

This week, the guys try to get to the bottom of whether you are really you if you are a robot. Evan is chomping at the bit to become a cyborg, but they're not sure at what point you stop becoming 'you' if you're just all electronics. Do you need to have skin and bones? Or at least have a brain? What about being just a brain in a vat? What if we already are all just brains in vats?!...

This week, the guys get together to discuss all sorts of things, from whether they believe people are doing their best to whether walking into a Walgreens and duping someone into selling Evan some illegal wine feels as scummy as it sounds... Will you get as much secondhand embarrassment as Josh does from Evan's cringey story? At least you didn't have to live through it as Evan did! In othe...

This week, the guys gab about social media and how it can suck so much time and energy these days. Stupid amounts of scrolling can send someone spiraling, so should we stop succumbing to social media's siren song? Maybe it's not that bad to be on your phone, and it could just be part of life these days. Either way, Josh and Evan are out of the social media loop, and maybe they should be se...

This week, the guys get into the weeds about the difference between bogs, swamps, and marshes. As riveting as that sounds, it's really just a precursor to a conversation about AI data centers that could crumble the environment and economy as we know it! Does having AI suck up all the water make any sense at all, or is it as bad an idea as it sounds? And will these data centers even stick aroun...

This week, the guys are back to chatting about cars. But wait, wait, wait! Before you skip the episode to avoid another "How Cars Work" fiasco, this car conversation is much cooler. As a couple of Americans from the Midwest, Josh and Evan are used to a car-centric culture. But is that a good thing, or could we all benefit from cutting out cars? It might actually be impossible to cut cars...

This week, Josh is coming to his senses. Er, wait, actually, the Census is coming for Josh! After MONTHS of talking about how Josh's neighborhood is calling out to be counted, the Census is finally coming around. And coincidentally, Evan gets to be the one to creep around town. Even still, the Census is letting the city of Westfield down, and it's all a little 'too little, too late&#39...

This week, the guys are doing their best impression of a police scanner by breaking down all the biggest crime stories. Evan has Kit Kat heists on the brain, while Josh breaks the news that murder recently struck their city! Could the same person be behind both?! Unlikely... The guys also discuss shoplifting before diving into the larger topic of shopping, so maybe they just have crime on the brai...

This week, the guys are springing into action when it comes to their spring style. Or at least it's kind of on their minds, and there might not be much to change at all. Josh has a bit of a one-track fashion sense, while Evan is more willing to branch out and strut his stuff. So, do the guys have any fashion wisdom to impart on the masses? Maybe, or maybe not, but at least it should lead to so...

This week, the guys are getting back together for another in-person episode! After sharing a lunch break, they break down life 'live' and face to face after finally finding out how to make their audio work well. Both Josh and Evan have experiences to share, but Josh was just in the middle of a sticky Starbucks situation that could've set the tone for his day! The guys also discuss mast...

This week, the guys get to break down bad workplace behavior and dig into how poor management can muck everything up. Evan has had a crappy Census week shortly after being a Census star, and the whole experience shed some light on problems with communication, government, workplaces, and more. Josh weighs in as someone who tries not to make the same mistakes, and both guys have some helpful ideas t...
