One of the best parts about working towards our passion is the validation we receive by our peers in the same line of work. As a painter, nothing feels as good as having an artist you respect compliment your work. As always, we discuss being our own worst critics. Join us, would you? Follow us on Instagram!

In movies they say we only use 10% of our brains while we're awake. This isn't entirely true, but sometimes it feels like that's all we have to work with when it comes down to getting things done. The guys have very different ways of working, but they do agree that it would be nice to clone themselves and trade off on work days. Does anyone know a guy? Or maybe his clone?

Do you get to the restaurant a few minutes early? If you're like us, it's because you want to down an entire appetizer before the rest of the party gets there. Whether you're early or late, it seems everyone has their own definition of being "on time." Fashionably late may be your style, but watches are fashionable too, right? Follow us on Instagram!

In this episode the guys talk about their relation to pop culture and how it connects to music and life. It's not easy to adapt with the times, but if you don't adapt you might dissolve. It's good to stay classic, but is it important to stay relevant nowadays? Follow us on Instagram! Similar Vein Instagram: @similarveinpodcast Talbott Brothers Instagram: @talbottbrothers

The guys are working on a new song in the studio about being the last person on earth. This episode takes place the night before the song is being worked on, so Ty asks Jake for his input on the idea. What if you were the last person on earth? What would be the first thing you did that day? What would it look like in 10 years? *Apocalypse intensifies* Follow us on Instagram! Similar Vein Instagram...

In this episode the guys talk about how friendships change as you get older. Is it worth it to make new friends in your late twenties and beyond? For some of us it takes a lot. Whether you do make new friends or not, one thing is for certain: the true ones will last forever. Follow us on Instagram!

What is your signature thing? Think Elton John's jumpsuits. Think Johnny Cash or Steve McQueen's style in line with your best hat. Everyone wants to have a signature style that they're known by. The guys talk about Jake's glasses throughout, but it's a pivotal point to say how hard it is to let go of the things that feel comfortable whether or not we should. What we do and how others see us define...

Nick and Tyler share what it was like to tour again and play shows in peoples' back yards. We also ponder whether it is realistic to chase a life that never requires vacation. We discuss work, rest, and the value of contrast and balance. Mentioned in this episode: Talbott Brothers' Indiegogo Campaign Follow us on Instagram!

This week we celebrate 25 episodes of Similar Vein by answering 10 listener questions! This episode marks the end of season one, but don’t fret! We will return in May with fresh episodes, new experiences, and (unfortunately) the same dorky personalities. Until then we will see you on Instagram ;) Follow us on Instagram!

It’s not always easy to get rid of that T-shirt that fits just right but is well past it’s expiration date. We think it’s important to know what you have and have what you need. We like to make sure the things we have serve a purpose and bring value to our lives at the same time. In this episode we work through the necessities and the unnecessary and share some examples of excess in each of our li...

Thanks for sticking with us after our week off! The time away from our podcast microphones was spent around plenty of other microphones while recording some songs for an upcoming project. If you ever wanted to hear what the studio process is like (for the 1000th time) you wont want to miss this episode. We share some behind the scenes, recap the antics of our day off, as well as give some insider...

Do you ever see a guy that seems like he’s trying way to hard to prove himself as a man? In this episode we discuss some examples of fragile masculinity. More importantly, we also share some examples in our lives of what a true man looks like (in our opinion). Follow us on Instagram!

Have you ever been cut off on the road? You try to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe their house is on fire. Maybe they're headed to the hospital. Maybe their foot got stuck on the gas pedal! Probably not. We three agree that the thing that grinds our gears the most is not looking out for your fellow human. We know we don't get it right most of the time, but it's always easier to spot when it's...

The unnamed thing has messed up a lot for everyone this past year. We enjoyed watching the Super Bowl but also had some reservations with the way some things were handled. We're only really qualified to talk about the musical performances, so come listen to us talk about them and the way it relates to our shows in the future. Follow us on Instagram!

Style is something that seems it's years in the making. There's nothing quite like feeling good in what you wear. We all have the favorite pair of jeans, favorite jacket or kicks. In this episode we go back and look at some of the mistakes we made while trying to clothe ourselves properly. It's all trial and error, but we tend to fall back on the classics. Is the 90's style really back? Time to di...

A lot goes into the day of a show. For concert goers, it's usually a 7 o'clock drive and a fun night out. For those of us on the other side, it's months of planning, rehearsal and travel that leads to one amazing night. We wouldn't trade it for the world, but come along with us as we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly that makes up show day. Mentioned in this episode:  64 Audio IEM's Sennhe...

In this episode we talk about some things that hold us back, and some strengths that each of us have that make us useful in a team. There are so many things that can keep us from accomplishing our goals and our successes, but most detrimental of all is our own vices and pursuing the image of something we aren't. Keep on keepin' on. Follow us on Instagram! Similar Vein Instagram: @similarveinpodcas...

In part two of creativism, the guys talk about their songwriting and practice tactics a little more in depth. There's a secret sauce, but everyone has it. They talk about how hard it is sometimes to work and create with bandmates, and how when it's time to say goodbye it feels a little bit like a breakup. "Hey, I can I come over and get my jacket?"

It's the game you play on a long drive, you know the one. You ask each other outlandish and thought provoking questions. Friends are lost, there's sharks with lasers on their heads, Ty can't seem to understand one or more questions. What is happening? Follow us on Instagram!

We all create. Some of us make music, some of us write poetry, some of us create things to make our every day lives better. In each of us, there is a creator. We all have our own skills and processes that produce the fruit of our mind's eye. In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite artists, and analyze their and our own styles. Mentioned in this episode:  My Love Is A Hurricane - David Ram...

We didn't want to go in to this episode talking about New Years resolutions, so we didn't. Though we struggle with it in different ways, we truly believe that the best way to get "motivated" is to chip away at something daily. That doesn't mean that some Fridays you aren't going to eat an entire pizza over your sink because you had a rough week. We've all been there, right? Follow us on Instagram!...

How do you feel when you take a personality test? Do you feel understood, or do you feel like you've been put in a box? The guys war with the idea that they can be pigeonholed. Maybe it's what we need in order to work to our full potential with our peers. Follow us on Instagram! Similar Vein Instagram: @similarveinpodcast Talbott Brothers Instagram: @talbottbrothers

Is luck a figure of speech for you? Or is it something that you believe only comes to the fortunate?
