Life is Funny

This week, Evan is CRUSHING the "sticking it to the man" game over his last couple grocery runs. However, he might be making some silly, but delicious, purchases to do so. But hey, how many cheesecakes that you might not even like and 2-liters is too many anyway? Evan has been too busy to do much else, but Josh has had enough time to drive all the way over Evan's way. So, why the hec...

This week, the guys talk about doing things they suck at. With so few hours in the day, does it even make sense to spend time on things that are challenging or that you're not very good at? It makes for an interesting discussion, and maybe there's room for some fun things like basketball and fly fishing, but maybe not skateboarding and painting. Josh's art museum excursion brings about...

This week, the guys dive right in because Evan had a bumpy finish to his busy month of travel. He ALLEGEDLY introduced the front of his rental car to the back of another car just before getting back to the airport, and it turns out it's quite the hassle to deal with that sort of thing. Lucky, or unlucky, for Evan though, Josh also had some car-based excitement over the last week. The guys talk...

This week, Evan is back from Florida so all is right with the world! More or less, that is... Find out whether he managed to bag any exotic boas, got attacked by any alligators, met some new friends, and/or had his captain abandon chip mid-flight. The guys start by discussing Josh's ability to make money by discretely selling his services in parking lots, and it sounds like he's taking ful...

This week, Evan is finally in Florida! There are a lot of funny little stories and tidbits that come with being in a new state for a work trip, so the guys really hit the ground rolling with what's been going on recently. Evan's trip has been taxing from the start, and he's had to deal with some silly bureaucratic issues that don't make a lot of cents. Meanwhile, Josh has been taking a tour of loc...

This week, the guys talk about how being in different (united) states can impact one's state of mind. With Josh now in Indiana and Evan prepping to hit up two new states soon, there's a lot to talk about. It all leads to an interesting conversation about whether having your own physical space is necessary, or whether your headspace is enough. Evan doesn't really have a physical space that is 100%...

This week, the guys talk about how Evan is preparing to be alone for the next month. Evan is going to be without his apartment and office roomies in the next few days, and then he'll be headed on a work trip to the land of loneliness itself: Florida! Fortunately for Evan though, he's got a plan to make some scaly, slithery compadres, and maybe "stick it to the man" along the way. Meanwhile, Josh i...

This week, the guys express their love for one another on the week of Valentine's Day. Well, not exactly, but they do discuss whether V-Day is even something worth celebrating, how they feel about it, and whether it's easier or harder to celebrate when you're in a committed relationship. Josh and Evan are both thoughtful guys, though keeping the THOTS out of Valentine's Day is a good way to avoid...

This week, the guys talk about making friends at work, what it looks like to hang out with work friends, and more. Josh and Evan have very different experiences, and it's interesting to hear how the different ages, relationships statuses, and career paths of coworkers factor in. Does either guy think it's "worth" making friends at work, or is it more of a hassle? Would things change if they didn't...

This week, the guys break their stamina streak with an episode that's under an hour. Fortunately, the content is still timely as Josh and Evan revisit the topic of  making vision statements while also discussing plenty of other fun tidbits. Josh is about to be in charge of some vision planning for work, so the guys try to figure out whose opinions should matter most while looking toward the f...

This week, the guys make up for forgetting to mention any "sticking it to the man" last time with Evan bringing out some bangers. Find out if his class-action and sports betting payouts are as huge as he hoped, or if he's still got a way to go. With Josh officially on the move, the guys also talk about how to factor the jobs, preferences, and more of significant others into career/living decisions...

This week, the guys discuss their dream living spaces/situations/homes. The conversation is spurred by the possibility of Josh moving sooner than expected, so it's fun to think about what an ideal living situation might be. Does it include a room full of mirrors for self reflection, or a decked out man-cave complete with pinball, pool, and more? Or are Josh's and Evan's tastes much simpler? Spoile...

This week, the guys are one year older! Despite both Josh and Evan celebrating a birthday since the previous podcast, neither guy has much exciting news related to being officially old. Their discussions revolve around birthday wishes and their thoughts and feelings about getting and giving them. Evan had a funny story or two to share about birthday wishes that did and didn't pan out in a couple w...

This week, the guys try to avoid a letdown after Ep. 200 by starting 2023 off on the right note. The guys start by spending some time sharing their thoughts on what an ideal New Year's celebration looks like and what they did this year to celebrate. Josh thinks that next New Year should have some changes, and Evan has an idea about how to help. The guys also dive into the world of pets after an ex...

This week, the guys hit a MAJOR milestone! Josh and Evan finally record their 200th episode, and they examine the road it took to get here. Part of that road includes some Christmas recap, including Evan's worst Christmas ever! However, the bad time gave him time to listen to old episodes, pull out fun nuggets, and crunch the numbers behind the 200 podcasts. Through it all, just like through the f...

This week, the guys unveil their long-awaited annual recaps of the best content they consumed this year. After getting into some mid-year reviews over the summer, this discussion focuses on the best things Josh and Evan watched, read, consumed, etc. to close out 2022. Was Evan's year a complete dud? Did Josh only like movies that other people hated? Are things going to be better in 2023? Listen in...

This week, the guys talk about whether listening to music made by Kanye West is still socially acceptable, or if it's time to move on. Neither Josh nor Evan like Kanye or his music, but it's an interesting discussion about whether it's okay to like someone's music/art/whatever if they're a bad person or do/say bad things. The whole conversation stemmed from Evan hearing Kanye music at work and bri...

This week, the guys talk about the Christmas spirit, but only one of them is really feeling it! It doesn't take long for Josh to find out that Evan might be the Grinch reincarnate, or at least just someone who isn't taking fully embracing the early onset of the holiday season. Is Evan really just a big ol' Krampus who hates Christmas movies, music, and more? Probably not, but some people might thi...

This week, the guys recap after a busy Thanksgiving week/weekend. Evan zipped around and stayed in multiple beds in multiple cities while trying to rekindle his college fire. Meanwhile, Josh navigated family expectations and needing to make multiple appearances, leading the guys to talk about how the holidays should look when it comes to people going places. While there's no great answer, the guys...

This week, the guys, or at least Evan, revel in the light at the end of a very long work tunnel. After three straight 12-hour days while being sick and alone, Evan is thrilled to talk with his good buddy Josh about anything and everything! The guys try not to 'F' up the pronunciation of 'Ephs' after a certain cow mascot ended Kenyon's season in the Elite Eight. There is also some pretty important...

This week, the guys have a lot of catching up to do because Josh was in Italy last week! Obviously there are plenty of cool things for him to share with Evan, including bomber birds, rare meats, Colosseum complications, and more! Evan also has a thing or two of note, including some NCAA Tournament fun, committing voter fraud, and fantasy football fun. When talking about Italy, the guys also talk a...

This week, the guys meander through the podcast and touch on different stories and topics along the way. As Josh preps for a trip to Italy, the guys talk about traveling, flying, and layovers. Josh and Evan each found themselves without cars over the last week, so they talk about how much fun it is to have car work done. Spoiler, it's not that fun unless someone else is paying for it... The guys a...

This week, the guys come back after a quick hiatus having both gotten their groove on at separate concerts. The fun musical excursions lead to a discussion about whether Josh and Evan are musically inclined, or whether they're a little on the tone deaf side. By Evan's math, he only goes to a concert every five years, so he's definitely wouldn't call himself a concert expert. Josh is on the same pa...

This week, the guys take an introspective look at what makes them operate at less than peak capacity. Josh and Evan examine what they're good or bad at when it comes to self diagnosing their attitudes, and sometimes they are good at fooling themselves. The guys also talk about whether it's possible to point out negative behavioral influences or elements in others, or whether that's a can of worms...

This week, the guys talk about whether they're set in their ways or whether they like to try new things. From their experiences, lots of people, sometimes older ones, seem to just pick places and they're comfortable with and stick with them over new, potentially better, things. However, the guys both like the idea of trying new things, whether it's traveling to different countries, eating new food...
