In this episode, we start with wedding stories, massive guest lists, lost keys, mariachi bands, sports takes, and Paul’s very questionable reverse osmosis water situation. Then the conversation turns toward Luke 12, where Jesus talks about division, loyalty, and the cost of truly following Him. We talk about people pleasing, standing for Jesus, and why we need the Holy Spirit to help us live with...

In this episode, we start with camping stories, fishing debates, sketchy game show ideas for our friend Kobe, and Danny’s thoughts on whether Bill Belichick should make good on his promise to caddie for him. Then the conversation turns toward a deeper question: are we actually being led and empowered by the Holy Spirit, or are we just trying to do good things in our own strength? We also talk abou...

In this episode, we start with some high school confessions, talk about what we'd eat and how we'd survive an apocalypse and then a shocking accusation is revealed about Paul not actually being a sports guy for the first years of his friendship with Danny. We then get more serious about fear, disappointment, unmet expectations, and the temptation to lean on our own understanding instead of believi...

We all go through moments where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like we can’t move forward on our own. In this episode, we talk about why you were never meant to do life alone—and the importance of having “mat carriers” in your life. Looking at Luke 5, we unpack the story of the paralyzed man and the friends who carried him to Jesus when he couldn’t get there himself. The question is: do you have p...

I thought I knew exactly where my life was headed… until everything fell apart. In this episode, Danny talks about what happens when your plans don’t work out the way you expected—and how God can be working in ways you don’t see. From ridiculous debates about camping and the frequency of Paul's showering to real stories about faith, setbacks, and trusting God, this one goes deeper than we planned....

This episode starts off chaotic (as usual) — from terrible (or epic?) car ideas to some wild stories about addiction and what it results in. But then we take a turn as we talk about what it actually means that God is watching over your life — and why that’s way better than most people think. If you’ve ever felt like God is distant, disappointed, or just waiting for you to mess up… this might compl...

We talk about the craziest healings we've seen with our own eyes even when we didn't have faith for them... This episode starts off exactly how you’d expect… sports talk, random debates, and some absolutely ridiculous moments - but then it takes a turn. We get real about healing — what we’ve seen, what we’ve experienced, and the tension of believing God heals… while also walking through moments wh...

We kick off this episode with some new stories: the spilled LaCroix trauma, a Buffalo Wild Wings phone crisis and the legendary Ohio Nachos incident. Danny then explains why Paul should never, under any circumstances, be allowed to coach in the NFL. Then our conversation takes a sharp turn into work ethic, accountability, victim mentality, and why being “busy” is not the same thing as being effect...

How do you handle loss and adversity? What's it like to lose the Super Bowl? Can burnout be avoided? - All this and more in E12! In this episode we start with some crazy stories from Paul's high-school days - one of which ends with "like 20 cop cars." Danny then shares how he handled haters and hecklers while playing in college and we share our conviction that youth sports (parents - we're talking...

What do you do when life hits hard and grief shows up unexpectedly? In this episode, we talk about real suffering, real faith, and whether God is still good in the middle of it all. But first, we begin with arthritis complaints, fake medical credentials, tornado sirens, and whether neck tattoos are spiritually responsible decisions. Along the way, we debate Adam Sandler movies, sneaking into theat...

Are we “two normal guys”… or just serious? 😂 In this episode, we debate high school basketball glory days, invent a Hallmark card business guaranteed to get cancelled, and consider handing affirmation cards to Nebraska basketball players before tip-off (what could go wrong?). From “boxy one” defenses to getting “caught by laughter,” the word salads are flying. But then we pivot. In one of our mos...

Danny Woodhead and Paul Lanphier start with wild Super Bowl stories, Olympic dreams, and Division II delusions—and somehow end in an incredibly honest conversation about offense, forgiveness, and spiritual freedom. What begins as nonstop roasting, sports nonsense, and laugh-out-loud hypotheticals slowly turns into a deep, practical discussion on why living offended quietly destroys relationships a...

Danny Woodhead and Paul Lanphier eventually get to the point about how to see with God's perspective-but before that it's chaos with the conversation bouncing between terrible weather awareness, an overconfident “Weather Boy,” near-empty gas tanks, and an unhinged (yet highly detailed) fantasy about surviving prison through gang leadership, tattoos, and coffee dates. Add in toilet horror stories,...

As usual, Danny and Paul kick off the episode with randomness: skincare routines, homeschool dating stories, and cigarette science, wandering through Nebraska basketball, the Mighty Ducks' lasting legacy, and why kissing your coach is not the recommended way to break the fear of man. Along the way, they roast bandwagon fans, relive 90s sports movies, and the false theory that one unfiltered cigare...

Paul and Danny spend the first half of E6 doing what they do best — roasting each other. They debate Christmas history like it’s a documentary and casually pitch adult sleepovers and lip injections like normal humans. But in the second half they take a turn into something weightier: starting the year with a hunger for God, the “sin of busyness,” and what it looks like to live an Acts 2 kind of lif...

Paul and Danny bring their usual “normal guys podcasting” energy: roasting Paul’s questionable style (holiday haircuts, yellow corduroy, and “I love DoorDash—I’ve used it twice”) and his habit of greeting everyone like he’s employed by Hy-Vee. Then the chaos swerves into something real—why following Jesus was never meant to be done solo. They walk through Acts 2 and the power of church/community a...

Two normal guys (who “laugh until we overfill?”) spiral from a hilarious story about things kids say into a crash course on parenting, boundaries, and why threatening “no screens all weekend” can help everyone get more sleep. Between coffee addiction confessions, NFL-style intensity debates, and some wild jokes, they accidentally stumble into something real: stop stressing, surrender the control,...

Paul and Danny discuss pre-workout induced invincibility, whether 4th-grade touchdowns count like Super Bowl ones, and why racing a college runner in a hotel hallway is a spiritually humbling experience (RIP hamstring). Somewhere between homeschool basketball lore, “sports goggles,” and a flooded house meltdown, they land on a real takeaway: stop overcomplicating faith and just spend consistent ti...

Danny roasts Paul for calling himself a “normal guy on a podcast,” his 20-month Achilles “rehab,” marathon delusions, TV-less marriage, and belief that the Spurs only won titles because of an NBA ref conspiracy. Between bad Nebraska predictions, bouncing between NFL bandwagons, and Hall-of-Fame level Paulisms, they get honest about getting absolutely rocked by life, business, anxiety, and hidden s...

Former NFL running back Danny Woodhead and his business partner / former pee-wee legend Paul Lanphier launch their as-yet-unnamed podcast. Danny roasts Paul’s delusional glory days and his flag football achilles tear, among other bad decisions. In between Paul’s insane sports takes and Nebraska predictions that don’t math, they actually get real — talking about Danny’s unlikely NFL journey, retire...
