The Avid Indoorsmen

If you know Buegs or Rob well, you’ve heard them quote Wedding Crashers many times. If you’ve given Rob a hug he may have said “Let’s bring it in for the real thing.” If you’ve been around Buegs and someone has left the room you may have heard him say “I never know what she’s doing in there.” Those are just a few of the many gems that this film delivers. A couple other people who find this movie d...

We have been having so much fun doing our Movie Game Nights and we thought it was about time to bring on the crazy talented a cappella group, The Filharmonic! Rob was on The Sing Off with these guys back in the day and they are such good dudes. We had a blast playing a few of our favorite games with them. Check it out! 1:06 - @TheFilharmonic 4:58 - The Starting 5 (Films Featuring A Wedding) 23:03...

Hey dudes! We went back in time to talk about the cult classic that has produced two sequels, 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. We figured that since the third of the trilogy, Face The Music, came out recently that we would pay homage to the original. There was absolutely no question who we were going to ask to be a guest on this episode, the Wyld Stallyn himself, Nathan Stone. Nate quotes...

Disney has created another live-action remake of one of their beloved musicals, and decided to switch things up and re-imagine the story of Mulan. It’s being streamed now on Disney +. We knew that @JenikaMarion was a big fan of the animated musical version so we knew we had to get her on the pod to talk about this with us, and we decided since we missed her husband that @TimFoustMusic could tag al...

No, you’re not dreaming, we’ve done an episode on Inception which is celebrating it’s 10th Anniversary! We went and got the dreamboat from The Blenders and Home Free’s Producer, Darren Rust to make his AI debut. We’ve been wanting to get him on the podcast and this just happens to be one of his favorite films, so it worked out! Our dream within a dream was a fun movie game Buegs made up called The...

The Blues Brothers just had it’s 40th Anniversary!!! We had to get the band back together to celebrate it, so we got a couple of returning guests and longtime friends for both of us, Benny Elledge and Dan Ristrom! We don’t know anyone else who loves this movie more than these two and they had us laughing throughout the entire episode with their hilarious takes and the various titles of fictional s...

It’s been a while since we’ve done a Movie Game Night so we got one of our favorite A Cappella groups to come on and play some games with us: VOICEPLAY! We chatted about life with no shows, how they’re still rocking the YouTube game and most importantly, played some super entertaining games. The Voiceplay guys are such a good time and don’t forget to check out Rob’s collaboration with them on thei...

You didn’t think we’d do a Clueless 25th Anniversary episode? AS IF! We had to talk about this iconic 90’s take on the classic Jane Austen story, Emma. We got Rob’s best friend from Kindergarten to come back on to the pod, Tim St. Sauver. He had some super funny takes on Cher and Dionne and the rest of the Clueless gang. This episode ended with an Imitation Game and our Patrons get to listen to us...

“He’s a Cinderella story. A former assistant groundskeeper about to become the Masters champion...” This quote and every other quote from Caddyshack have been told and retold by all of our Dads for 40 years now! So we got that going for us, which is nice. We had to find a couple guys who love this movie as much as we do and didn’t have to look very far. Turns out the two guys who helped us get thi...

We were so excited to talk about the new film released on HULU featuring Andy Samberg and Cristin Miliotti, Palm Springs. Both Nate Stone and Seggie Isho saw Palm Springs before The Avid Indoorsmen and raved about it so much that it inspired us to watch it and decide to do an episode on it. Since they inspired us to check this out initially, we thought it was only right to have them on and give us...

Having it’s 35th Anniversary is the Steven Spielberg film based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Color Purple. As you will find out by listening to this episode, both of the Avid Indoorsmen had never seen this 11 time Academy Award nominated film, but it happened to be one of our guest’s favorite movies ever, the one and only Emoni Wilkins! We were looking for an excuse to bring...

Quack...Quack...Quack...Quack..Quack..Quack. Quack. QuackQuackQuack! That’s right, this episode will focus on the Minnesota hockey classic, The Mighty Ducks. We had to get the full flock together to create that triple deke, so we got our buddy and Hollywood actor, J. Michael Trautmann! He has a close connection to this film and we had a blast hanging out with him, hearing his hilarious takes. This...

We heard that Disney + was releasing a filmed version of the live theatrical production of Hamilton and we were not throwing away our shot…we had to do it. Jenika Marion and Neil Ghosh were on the Zoom where it happened, and it was super fun geeking out to this musical theater phenomenon with them. Neil made his AI debut and he fit right in, Jenika has been on so many times and is a fan favorite a...

Have you been looking for a fun, well-written heist movie to watch and just can’t seem to find one? Have we got the answer for you. It’s called Logan Lucky and it’s currently available to stream on HULU! Both of us have loved this movie since it came out and it kind of flew under the radar for most people. Another guy who enjoyed this film when it came out is Reilly Zamber, so we decided to chat w...

We’re back with another Social Distancing Session and when we booked this podcast Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was on Netflix. When we recorded this episode it was then taken off Netflix. But if you’re like us, you’ve probably seen Austin Powers so many times you won’t even need a rewatch before listening to us talk about it. We brought in some super cool cats who love this movie as...

The Home Free Merch Man himself, Potatoe aka Nathan Rodes Stone, makes his Avid Indoorsmen debut on the 35th Anniversary of Back To The Future. Everyone who knows Nate knows that he has seen this movie roughly 10 million times, so this was a no-brainer when deciding who we should have on this episode. Nate gave some very fun takes on this iconic film and some trivia we’d never heard before. It was...

Happy Belated Father’s Day to all the Dads our there! We‘ve been trying to come up with a reason to devote an episode to About Time for a while now and the fact that it’s a great father and son movie and it’s currently on Netflix, we thought we’d add it to our Social Distancing Sessions! We are so excited to introduce to you the talented singer/songwriter and new podcaster, Jon McLaughlin. He’s ma...

While we are still being encouraged to social distance and stay at home, we continue our Social Distancing Sessions! We’ve been trying to keep it upbeat for the most part, so we figured since Just Friends is celebrating a 15th year Anniversary and currently on Netflix, it would be a fun one to chat about! We brought in one of our favorite recurring guests in @benny_elledge and making her AI Debut...

It’s the 10th Anniversary of the Fincher/Sorkin classic and we had to bring in a couple film aficionados to express why this film is so good, so we brought in Seggie Isho and a newbie to the pod, Luke Pierce. We had such a great time breaking down this film with these two. We’ve decided they both have to come back on together because it was such a blast. This episode ends with us playing a very fu...

Just to be clear, this was recorded before the tragic events in Minneapolis and that is why it isn’t mentioned at all. We return with another Social Distancing Session and brought back one of Rob’s best friends, Timmy St. Sauver, to talk about the Rom-Com She’s Out Of My League that is currently streaming on Netflix. Had a blast taking our minds off of the craziness in the world and breaking down...

We agreed to embark on the quest of talking about the most recent Pixar film, Onward, and we needed 3 brave souls to accompany us. We couldn’t find any so we asked some of Rob’s Home Free Fam to come back to the pod. Jenika Marion, Abe Sword and Adam Rupp heard we were gonna be chatting about Onward and they all volunteered to virtually hang out with us. And spoiler alert, we actually have Adam’s...

Our name is The Avid Indoorsmen. You’ve heard our podcast. Prepare to enjoy yourself! Our good buddy @PeterHollens wanted to come on the podcast and he optioned for us to talk about The Princess Bride which took absolutely no convincing whatsoever. We’re so happy he chose this and it has recently been added to Disney + if you’re looking for something fun to watch while social distancing! Before we...

We have been having a blast with these Movie Game Nights and this episode is no exception. We brought in our good buddies and fellow Minneapolis musicians Max Felsheim and Dan Ristrom to keep the hilarious game night streak alive. A new game was introduced and we brought back two more that were so much fun. There were many laughs had in this one, we hope you’re enjoying the extra content! 1:05 @Da...

Another amazing movie that is available to watch on Netflix while you’re stuck at home is the mind-blowing 1999 film, The Matrix. We found a couple of buddies who love this movie even more than we do, @Heatboxllc and @Patrickmpls. Before we chat with Box and Pat, we discuss the last movie we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and our favorite quarantine meals. Heatbox has been on our show a few times n...

It’s time for another Movie Game Night! We are joined by some of our favorite Oregonians, the lovely husband and wife musical duo @TheHoundTheFox, and we brought back @Abe_Sword for the entire episode this time! Such a great time playing some games and catching up with friends. We hope you’re all enjoying the extra content and staying safe out there! 1:44 @Thehoundthefox 3:02 @abe_sword 5:01 The A...
