Two friends who grew up on opposite sides of the tracks in small-town America reconnect to share the stories that shaped them. From childhood memories and hometown characters to careers, travel, and life lessons gathered around the world, they explore how different beginnings led to unexpected common ground. Honest, reflective, and often humorous, this podcast is about friendship, perspective, and the long road from where you started to where life takes you.
