Cogito Ergo Oro

It's a spooky time around this podcast. We dive into some of our favorite Fall Festival Day (eg. Halloween) traditions and share some of our thoughts/experiences associated with the most popular holiday in Council Bluffs, Iowa BY A MILE.

It's Spooktober. We spent this episode discussing something we have considerable expertise in: Ghosts.

The gang is back with a breakdown of Iowa football's week, some discussion about previous football game experiences, and a little talk about some restaurant chains.

We made it back to Monday night! We mourn Iowa's horrendous showing in last Saturday's Cy-Hawk game, discuss Iowa's coaching situation/outlook, and then close the episode with a return of our weekly awards.

It's Wednesday night. Iowa played the worst football game of all time on Saturday. We have a group therapy session about it.

The whole gang is back! Jake, Taylor, Will, and Josh catch you up on what's been going on in our lives since the last episode of the podcast. We then touch on some recent sports news from the past weekend including Formula 1, Justin Fields' MASSIVE preseason performance, and Week Zero of College Football. New podcast weekly awards like "Team of the Week", "Player of the Week", and "Weak of the Wee...

We're back! We spend the first hour talking about movies, Jake's current surgical rotation, and livers . The second hour is primarily sports, with a hefty nod to Wimbledon and an update on Iowa sports news. Thanks so much for listening!

We just relaxed and talked sports for a couple hours while watching the 2022 NBA Draft during this laid-back episode. Thanks for tuning in!

Taylor and Jake bring the podcast back! They discuss weather in the Midwest, propose a new location for a Formula One race, review a few major TV shows released recently, and (most importantly) settle a Little debate by ranking the greatest Little Debbie snacks of all time.

We deviate from the sport-centric podcast this week for a more unstructured episode about Josh's summer plans, animated television shows, and PG-13 movie ratings.

A shorter episode, but a fun one! We chat about school, movies (including one big spoiler alert), and shows for awhile before transitioning into some Formula One talk about this past weekend's Miami Grand Prix. Taylor leads an F1 "Cap or No Cap" segment, and we call it a night. Thanks for listening!

The SQuad [TM] is all here for this one (listen for context)! We spend the first section parsing out our likes and dislikes regarding various fast-food chains. In a new segment, "News Tidbits", we touch briefly on a number of relevant sports topics before transitioning into a session of popcorn-style hot takes about the NFL Draft. We close out the episode with a "Cap or No Cap" segment focused on...

It's just the boys this week, and we turn our full attention to the upcoming NFL Draft. Just as a warning: Be ready for the Bears to somehow mess it up on Thursday night, even though they don't have a pick in the first round.

Taylor is back live for this entire episode, and she gives a SHOCKING revelation regarding her pay scales between nursing and her time on the podcast [0:30]. Josh admits that he was unaware of the "winds of change" that will be blowing into Kinnick Stadium this upcoming Saturday, so we catch him up on some important Iowa Football topics [2:20]. Jake shares Ten Key Takeaways from the opening round...

It's an all-boys podcast again! We open by discussing some strategy for how to succeed at "Wordle". After that, we talk about college basketball, The Masters, and baseball's Opening Day (for about three seconds). Then, with NBA Playoffs starting this upcoming week, we draft the teams participating in the playoffs based on how successful we expect them to be. Finally, we bring Two Takes back to the...

This episode opens with a brief eulogy (and numerous moments of silence) about Coach K's career following a colossal loss to North Carolina in the Final Four (12:20). Taylor shares a bit about her recent nursing school schedule (12:30), Will says he's been chilling (16:00), and Josh launches into an extended breakdown of Marvel's new film Morbius (16:20). We follow up that discussion with a some r...

It's an all-boys pod for most of the show, but Taylor made sure to stop by for an F1 Minute at the end. The boys spend lots of time breaking down the NCAA tournament before doing a deep dive into the upcoming NBA Draft. Thanks for listening!

This week in Iowa sports was horrible. We talk about it. However, Formula One is back, and that almost makes up for everything!

We all finally saw "The Batman", and we have lots of thoughts about it.

It's all about college basketball this week! Iowa won the Big Ten Tournament and drew a great seed in the NCAA tournament, so we talked about that for awhile. Then, it's an extended segment dedicated to collectively filling out our "MNL Madness" Bracket for this year's NCAA tournament. You probably shouldn't copy our bracket, but maybe you should......

We get philosophical in this episode and try to solve hundreds of problems with baseball, wrestling, and sports in general!

A lot of college basketball on this podcast. Jake, Will, and Josh share some thoughts about Caitlin Clark's transcendence, Iowa's Mens Team, and an upset-filled Saturday for the AP Top 10. Taylor joins for the last fifteen minutes to give a few thoughts as well as leading us through an F1 Minute. We close out the pod with Two Takes from Will, Taylor, and Josh.

We have a two-for-one special for the listeners today. Josh also  takes part in "Watch Party" for the first time, and we get him caught up on some of the important information from the last 5 episodes. All we can say is #FREESALVADOR

We thought this was going to be a 15-minute episode, but it turns out we had a little more to get into. #SAVESALVADOR

It's "Love Is Blind", this episode was off the rails, and we have some thoughts.
