Life is Funny

This week, the guys kinda just shoot the breeze and get to talking about Josh's week, some snippets from Evan's weekend, and more. Evan drank some weird sexy horse beer that might've turned him into a "Brony," so tune in to make sure you don't make the same mistake. Josh got up to some fine(ish) dining and might've sat in the same chair and eaten with the same fork as Frank Sinatra. So it begs the...

This week, the guys ramble on about life because life can be difficult. Both Josh and Evan wish they could go back to simpler times when J-Watch was the pinnacle of their problems. But now it's things like identity theft, insurance fraud, and car accidents to worry about! Evan is in an annoying situation that isn't his fault in the slightest, but c'est la vie... The guys also talk a little about h...

This week, the guys dive into some random discussions that aren't all that earth-shattering. Firstly, Evan dives into a discussion about the difficulty of drinking. He's not a big drinker by any means, but maybe he'd have a better time with it if it wasn't so dang annoying to order alcohol. Who wants to drink straight vodka at a work event? And why can't every bar serve Electric Lemonade Long Isla...

This week, the guys dig deep into their memories and talk about childhood trauma. Both Josh and Evan are fortunate that their childhoods were less traumatic than others, but that doesn't mean they have some interesting formative experiences. Evan has been molded by getting no birthday presents, tangling with a troublesome tongue, and more. Meanwhile, Josh was molded by some school kids bashing his...

This week, the guys talk about autographs, meeting famous people, and shagging foul balls. They start with their usual recap, and Evan has some exciting things to talk about after exploring Mount Vernon, getting/eating inexpensive produce, and celebrating birthdays. Turns out, a bag of bell peppers, half a cantelope, and a discounted book can be the perfect birthday presents! The guys also get on...

This week, the guys talk a lot about being well-endowed. You could even call them a couple of well-endowed IU boys, but maybe you should be the judge of whether bigger is always better. The endowment discussion stemmed from talking about the exciting news that Josh and Evan are set to get 10 G's from Ol' Joe Biden, and not just cuz they have a stellar podcast. People on both sides are grumbling ab...

This week, the Josh's computer forgets how to record a podcast and the guys have to power through. Josh's audio stopped working two separate times during the recording before having to switch laptops, but they guys still piece together some solid content. The topics cover everything from CT scans to guesses on where we sit latitudinally before talking about some girthy produce, some movie traditio...

This week, the guys have some lengthy discussions about what their brains are like. Find out if you, Josh, and Evan have a visionary's brain or a pea brain, or fall somewhere in between. The brain talk stems from discussions about Evan's first full week of work and whether he and his brain are cut out for a 9-5 job or working in sports. The guys talk about the myths of a 9-5 and what work schedule...

This week, Evan is in a new apartment and has a lot to talk about as a result. Unfortunately, it's a lot of not great things, and he and Josh might be learning that apartments are a sham; for the tenants that is! As it turns out, dirty renting is not nearly as cool as dirty dancing, and unfortunately Evan has a pretty filthy apartment that he has to deal with. Listen in to hear Josh and Evan's apa...

This week, the guys talk about adulting-related stuff. Evan has been doing all sorts of "fun" things like getting renter's insurance, signing up for internet service, and dealing with student loans. After recapping a bit, Josh and Evan dive into talking about the impact of student loans and how different generations of individuals are affected. The guys also come offer up some sneaky ways to avoid...

This week, the guys dig into Evan's big cliffhanger from the end of the last episode. The discussion opens with a recap about Josh's week and dabbles in the topics of being art connoisseurs/thieves and the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The guys then pivot to hearing about Evan's whirlwind job and apartment hunting process. Spoiler, he has a cool new job and might've found a place to live...

This week, the guys have a lot of recapping to do after not recording last week. Buckle up, because a big chunk of the recap comes from Evan's excursion in Cleveland. It involved lots of lines, baseball, bagel-related blues, bird poop, and bad days. But also lots of good, like being good at granny games and hanging with friends! The guys also talk about weddings after Josh attended one, including...

This week, Evan has a lot of things to recap about after going "glamping" for a few days. Is staying in an air-conditioned cabin in the woods even considered camping? Would you rather eat a hobo dinner or a banana boat? After doing some children's activities with friends, Evan brings Josh in on a discussion about whether there should be more activities for adults. Find out if the guys think that a...

This week, the guys recap the best things they've watched, read, played, etc. so far this year. Spoiler alert, nothing crazy has stuck out and they hope the best is yet to come. Why haven't there been (m)any blockbuster movies? Are there any gems people have missed? Find out what the guys think about 2022's content consumption. Excitingly, Josh and Evan are recording live (kinda) and in person fro...

This week, the guys talk about some of their biggest fears. It takes some time to narrow down whether their biggest fears are physically large or just ones that take up a lot of thought, and the conclusion might be both. Is Josh afraid of something that really 'ticks' him off? Is Evan more afraid of spiders or of dying; or maybe dying from spiders? Find out what keeps the guys up at night and what...

This week, Josh and Evan are a couple of busy boys who have a lot of catching up to do. After a week-long hiatus from the podcast, there are a TON of things to recap for both of the guys. Find out if Evan wet the bed, turned into a super hero, got stuffed at the sausage haus, and/or got got interviewed for 7+ hours (and more!). Did Josh get some rad(ioactive) photos, enjoy Top Gun: Maverick, or ca...

This week, the guys try to decide who their ideal partner for "The Amazing Race" would be. Would Josh and Evan be a dynamic duo, or would they crash and burn before even getting going? What goes into someone being a good travel/competition partner, and who else might make the cut for each of the guys? Listen to find out if you're on their list and whether this could be their audition for the show....

This week, Evan has officially been discharged from his deployment to Iowa and is back home in another four-letter state. The guys lead off with some interesting insight into YOU, the podcast listeners, before diving into their weekly recaps. Josh may have temporarily developed a tasteless super power, so that's pretty spicy. Evan then discusses how Fayette sent him out with a whimper instead of a...

This week, the guys get to talking about the state of the world and the nuisance of nuance. While they think some of the world's issues should be relatively straightforward and easily solved, the reality is that there's a lot of grey area. Evan is fed up with why people and society can't get a grip and get their stuff together, while Josh talks about how things like life and social media aren't th...

This week, the guys talk a lot about job hunting. Evan is back on the prowl for his next job as his time in Iowa winds down, and the process of job hunting is just no fun. The guys talk about how the current job market is deceptively difficult and what it's like to look for that first "real" job. Josh also has a pretty lengthy weekly recap, so there's plenty to discuss there. As always, there is a...

This week, the guys talk a lot about pets. In particular, the discussion revolves around Evan's pet snake, now former pet snake, Arbiter. Questions like, "How do you give away a snake?," "What's it like owning a snake?," and more abound. There's also talk about some of Josh's interesting pets, and Evan's tragic experiences with pet rabbits. The guys also briefly discuss getting a 'first pet' as ad...

This week, the guys dive into the topic of whether they prefer to watch movies or series. Series seem to be all the rage nowadays, but are to the point where they're better than movies? Will series ever trump movies, or will the big screen always reign supreme? Evan has a good argument for series being the way to go, but Josh isn't completely sold. There's also talk about what goes into a good ser...

This week, the guys talk about culture. They may not be the most cultured individuals themselves, but they certainly know a thing or two about organizational culture (or at least think they do). Thanks to a recent assignment and TED Talk about culture, Evan realized that he's been working somewhere without the greatest of cultures. He and Josh discuss what goes into a good organizational culture,...

This week, the guys talk about books. At leas for a little while, that is. Josh and Evan have flipped roles as book readers since high school, and they dive into what goes into that. They also talk about the difficulty of recommending things, things that aren't this podcast, that is! Evan also has a handful of VERY important topics to recap, and some are seriously earth shattering. They guys also...

This week, things get a little weird! There's a lot of little things for the guys to recap about, and Evan has some show-and-tell items that he's particularly excited about. Josh has a BIG update about his FanDuel fiasco, while Evan has a BIG, little oddity that generates some laughs. Check out social media (@LifeIsFunnyCast & Evan's socials) to see what the guys are talking about! The guys al...
