Life is Funny

This week, the guys say goodbye. Well, they TRY to say goodbye because Evan isn't really good at it. Talking on the phone and to people can be awkward and hard sometimes, and it can be even trickier when you have to keep multiple 'goodbyes' in the bag to get through the ol' Midwestern goodbye. The guys also talk about Josh being more millennial than Evan, some thoughts and feedback from a lovely l...

This week, the guys talk about work. Work is kind of just a part of life for most adults, but sometimes it can be a lot to handle. The conversation goes a little all over the place at times, and Evan has some work and sleep stories to talk about. So, buckle up for some talk about work/life balance, how sleep works, and all sorts of other things! There's a decent "sticking it to the man" example in...

This week, the guys are feeling friendly. Or are they? Honestly, friendship as young adults is weird, complicated, and hard to define. Doe Josh and Evan define friendship the same way? Do they have tons of BFFs and weekly sleepovers? Are they totally lonely and friendless? Find out the answer to at least some of these questions along the way. As always there's at least one Fact of the Week in ther...

This week, the guys continue their trend of getting existential and attempting to answer some tough life questions. Josh and Evan each give their personal definitions of success and happiness and proceed to analyze one another's ideas. Does Josh base his definitions off of other people instead of thinking about himself? Is Evan always happy any successful and does he have all the answers? Do both...

This week, the guys talk about the complicated relationship between money, happiness, and life in general. The guys try to answer a little 'would you rather' question about having a job they love or a lot of money, and they try to figure out which one matters most to them. On top of all that discussion, the guys throw in some Fact of the Week tidbits, so "sticking it to the man" talk, and some fun...

This week, the guys talk about marketing. Evan is positive that he's above getting fooled by marketing tricks, and Josh is pretty confident that he isn't getting played by marketers either. BUT, do they think that the other one is right? Are they BOTH wrong and a little bit silly about how they deal with getting marketed to? The answer to that last one is probably a yes. Stay tuned for some pro "s...

This week, the guys talk about how cool they'd be around celebrities. Though they haven't met many, Josh and Evan think they'd be able to interact with celebrities because they don't really understand how people idolize celebs. They talk about our culture of idolizing and worshipping things in general, and even if they don't perfectly articulate their points they at least get them across. Listen f...

This week, the guys aren't sure if they're feeling very friendly or not. Both Josh and Evan have good friends, including each other most of the time, but the idea of making new friends is a bit of a weird one to them. Do they already have all the friends they could want? How does making new friends work? Do sitcoms show how friendship after college is supposed to go? They talk about these question...

This week, Evan is a year older, an hour behind, and a couple states away. After FINALLY making the move out to Iowa, he's got some initial thoughts and updates to bring up. Is there anywhere to buy food? Did Harry Potter have better living arrangements under those stairs? Is there anything to do in Fayette? The guys will at least talk about the answers after less than a week has passed. Josh also...

This week, the guys are ringing in the new year! 2020 is officially behind us, and hopefully that means it is 2021's time to shine. Josh and Evan take a little time to recap from their first and last time seeing one another in person for a while before digging into the idea of goals and challenges to set in 2021. Will they eat an apple-a-day for a whole month? Will they do anything at all? Listen...

This week, the guys continue breaking down the best things that they saw, used, and listened to this year. After talking movies last week, Josh and Evan bring up some different types of "best of's" for this episode. There are podcasts, books, stand ups, apps, and hobbies to discuss, so stay tuned to find out some things that the guys would recommend! As always there's a Fact of the Week or two in...

This week, Josh and Evan break down the best things they saw during the worst year. They each kept a big list of "best of" content, and this week they focus on movies. What movies were their personal favs? Did they have any overlap, or do they disagree with each other's picks? Find out and also let us know what you think! The guys also have a timely Fact of the Week and an interesting "sticking it...

This week, the guys talk about social media. The conversation starts with Evan being a little annoyed at Josh's social media use, but eventually it gets into some discussion about "The Social Dilemma" and its story about how some of the problems that surround social media. There's probably a good thought or two mixed in with some rambling, and the final takeaway may be that neither Josh nor Evan a...

This week, the guys hit a MAJOR milestone and celebrate it in fashion! To celebrate their 100th episode, Josh and Evan record and release the podcast in video form for the first time! They pull out some interesting attire in order to make the most of the occasion, but they may not have been on the same page when it came to coordinating outfits. After 100 (and a half) episodes of the podcast there'...

This week, the guys talk about what goes into making their Christmas lists as people start shopping for the holidays. It's both an art and a science, and honestly it can be more complicated than you'd think. Thanksgiving recaps won't be left out after what will probably go down as just another byproduct of a crappy 2020 for at least one of the guys. Josh and Evan also hit you with a meta version o...

This week, the guys talk a lot about corporate holiday parties. These types of events have a lot of stereotypes associated with them, but are those justified? Evan also gives a run down of the road trip and license plate bingo that he played during his cross-country trek. Did he cross off all 50 states, see a black cow, or see a record-breaking number of political signs? Listen to find out! As alw...

This week, the guys are finally able to sit down and record again after lots of traveling. Evan is just coming off a trip that saw 10 states in 6 days, a different bed for 6 straight nights, and a couple fun stops along the way. Find out why Evan was on this mission, how many awkward interactions he had, what the stinkiest state is, and so much more! There's a Fact of the Week or two in here, and...

This week, Josh makes his long-awaited return to the podcast! After weeks of wedding planning, getting married, and going on a honeymoon, Josh and Evan finally have a chance to record together. There's a lot to recap and talk about, so gear up for a long one with plenty of discussion. Did Josh lose his ring? What do you even do on a honeymoon? Does Evan have Coronavirus? All these questions and mo...

This week, Evan is flying solo again while Josh is busy soaking up some sun in California on his honeymoon. Don't worry though, because Evan brought a list of things to talk about that is guaranteed to do, well, something... There's a brief recap of Josh and Lauren's wedding and some discussion about what it was like doing it in the middle of a pandemic, a short breakdown of what it's like to get...

This week, Evan is flying solo. He kind of goes all over the place without Josh around to help give some order to the episode, so you'll have to be the judge of how this solo project turned out. Is Evan more Ginger Spice or George Harrison? Also, is past Evan any different than present Evan? Though he may never fully answer that question, he speculates on change, growing up, changing personalities...

This week, the guys are a little worn out after a weekend full of celebrating Josh being an unmarried man. Overall, the weekend was a blast! However, there were certainly some aspects that could've been a little better. While Josh and Evan don't mean to complain, it might sound like it. Trust us, it just comes down to expectations and hindsight. Even more hindsight says it was a great time. The gu...

This week, the guys talk a whole lot about food. Evan talks about a new favorite dish that he's learned to make, and that conversation goes down the rabbit hole into talk about picking where to eat and not being able to pick food in a Food Desert. Find out what exactly a Food Desert is for the Fact of the Week, and be ready to leave with other questions on the topic that the guys bring up but don'...

This week, the guys talk about the United States of America. While there are a lot of things that are good and bad throughout the country, Josh and Evan focus specifically on what a couple articles say each state is best and worst at. Find out which state is the most well endowed, which state loves their fishing, which states could use some more or less medicine, and more! The guys also talk a bit...

This week, Josh and Evan talk about the fine line between minimalism and hoarding, and trash and treasure. Sometimes those lines blur and everything is the same! Do the guys have anything they want to pass on, or should everything be sold or tossed? Maybe Josh will pass down some guns and furniture, and maybe Evan will sell some Pokémon cards and hold onto old toys. If you listen to the end you'll...

This week, Josh and Evan have relatively normal weeks. Evan had an eventful trip to Indiana where he missed out on a major "sticking it to the man" opportunity, but he was still able to do his thing and celebrate birthdays. Josh has been doing some more wedding planning and has helped his fiancé with her showers. Totally normal stuff, we promise. The guys discuss who makes the wedding invite cut,...
