Becoming Identical

Dave throws a question about an irrational behaviour at Dan to see if they are identical in this way.

Can Dave match Dan's running prowess in an attempt to become identical?! Dan was in Winnipeg for a visit and deliberations ensue. Find out what happened.

We recorded this episode on January 24, 2024, our birthday! 58 years earlier a poem had been written to announce our arrival. A live rendition by Mom brings down the house.

I come upon Dan (virtually) in a most unexpected place and we record the show from there! Are our feet identical, that is the question?! Strategies and travails of shoe shopping ensue.

Year in review. Most listened to episode, where our listeners are from, their podcast and music tastes... And...our memories of fire(s) on New Year's Eve.

Do we remember the same clothing? Which leads to, dare I say, a sophisticated conversation about shoes.

Dan was in town, sat in my office chair and we put together this stunning episode. Food memories and interests. I know, incredible stuff here. Glad to offer this new episode to our faithful and anxiously waiting audience.

Dan comes down from the mountain to "interact" with an audience member who contacted us about, well... the prairies.

Yes, actual mountaintops, not the figurative kind.

A threshold quip in Minneapolis leads to a "Comedy of Errors". Keith Jones from University of Northwestern is an expert in a lot of things and at least one of them helps us understand ourselves.

Dan's visit to Winnipeg, means another in-person episode! This time, it's in a vintage 1978 Surf Side camper on Dave's driveway. A deep analysis of car washing behaviours ensues.

After a 25-year hiatus, Dan and Dave put becoming identical to the test for real! The venue...Dan's workout crew at Power Athletics. Are they identical enough to pull it off? This episode brings you the live audio of what happened.

A road trip means Dave and Dan meet in person at a local West Chicago coffeeshop. After having read the same book, the conversation becomes a primer about highly relevant workplace skills. Riveting, I know!

Are we particular in the same ways? Who rounds up when we pump gas and how is cereal to be eaten? 

Dan came up from Chicago to Winnipeg for a week. A riveting debrief of the week that was ensued. 

We bring on a very special 96-year old guest to give us a firsthand account of our birthday, January 24. There's also some wisdom at the end of the episode. 

Dave and Dan pull out a musical Christmas memory that involves two instruments in the most unusual of circumstances. 

It's dangerous in the gym. Dan and Dave share fitness life lessons so you don't have to learn them the hard way. 

Do identical twins have an identical interest in working out? We talk with Dan's trainer, Mike, to find out what it might take to become identical. 

One of us has a particular affinity to Costco. The Costco experience was worth exploring in real time and we even brought in a true expert on the subject matter. 

The geneticist in episode 3 was shocked to see how different we look and suggested we needed to talk to a psychologist about our differences, so we did. Delmar Epp, teaches psychology at Canadian Mennonite University. 

Guest host, Evan Woelk Balzer prods Dan and Dave to make sense of their ethical compasses from the backseat of a Toyota Prius. This is Part 3 of a 3-part road show (literally).

Guest host, Evan Woelk Balzer unearths an element of Dave's wedding that probes the limits of twin pranks from the backseat of a Toyota Prius. This is Part 2 of a 3-part road show (literally).

Guest host, Evan Woelk Balzer probes the intricacies of the relationship between Dan and Dave from the backseat of a Toyota Prius. This is Part 1 of a 3-part road show (literally).
