Women like Amanda and Emily are some of the funniest people Bob and Nick know. That's why when people say, "Women can't be funny," it leaves them scratching their heads for a reason behind such an absurd statement.

Bob and Nick discuss the joys and intricacies of having someone to bounce ideas off of. Not always bouncing, sometimes landing with a dull thud. But that's part of the responsibility of the thinking buddy.

Glossophobia is the fear of public speaking. If Bob was ever afflicted by this, it must have been many decades ago, because he makes getting on stage and connecting with hundreds of people seem effortless. What has he learned from watching other speakers over his career? Here are some insights. Please note that the names of the speakers we discuss in this episode have been redacted to protect thei...

Conversation starters with family can be a minefield, but Bob and Nick have a potentially safe topic: Pets! Especially the weird ones you had growing up. Where the heck did they come from?

It's the grossest conversation yet because this one is all about licorice. But Bob and Nick are offering up their accumulated branding know-how to relaunch the world's least favorite treat.

Bob and Nick discuss an alternative to calling people out. Will it work in every scenario and with every person? Probably not, but for the people you are closest to, it's a good first step. Photo by Pavan Trikutam on Unsplash .

Nick trims his beard thanks to some passive aggression from his grandmother and an unmasked stranger. Bob shares that grandmas aren't always who we think they are.

Motorcycles and cool dudes go together, especially the ones named James. The dudes named James, not the motorcycles. The motorcycles are named Harley Davidson. And if the dude is named James Harley Davidson, watch out! That's way too cool. Photo by JanFillem on Unsplash .

How are you sleeping lately? Nick and Bob discuss how much more vivid their dreams are, and how that's not a bad thing. Themes, imagery, and memories are bubbling up, and they discuss if it's easier (or at least less traumatic) to remember your dreams the older you get.

Ball gowns and coffee beans. Bob and Nick discuss an interesting new movie and that leads to a story about coffee, and the drug dealers who sell it. You're going to have to listen to this one to get it. Photo by  Lisa Fotios  from  Pexels .

The goal at the ad agency is to pull at every last heart string. Bob and Nick know this from experience, and they discuss how that applies to the photos used in ads and campaigns. Food photos are the hardest! Photo by  Jose Francisco Fernandez Saura  from  Pexels .

We all have a contentious relationship with being content, and our content. We should have tables to hold all of our content. Our favorite items would be our heart's content? It's a homonym kind of episode. Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash .

It's business talk with Bob and Nick! They discuss the costs and benefits of replacing people in the workplace. They are available to cultivate the best out of your team too! Just have everyone at your company listen to this podcast. Not just this one, all of them.

Robert Guillaume as Benson and Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder are two of Nick's favorite pop culture characters. They share a biting wit and are oftentimes pretty mean. Does that mean he aspires to be a bit of a curmudgeon as well? Bob doesn't think so. Photo by Harry Cunningham on Unsplash .

A stage. Two men. One Wham. Two Beths. All of this will make sense when you listen to this episode featuring Bob's lip syncing brush with greatness. Photo by  Luis Quintero  from  Pexels .

There's a fine line between professional partners and workplace rivals. In this episode, Bob and Nick discuss some of the people they know who fall into these categories and how sometimes these folks can switch teams.

Three short stories, seemingly unconnected... Because they are completely unconnected. They were recorded at different times, different days, and one is about improv games and another about artwork? Those are technically connected. Fine, look for the underlying theme, we cant stop you. Photo by José Pablo Domínguez on Unsplash .

Why do Bob and Nick podcast? We tackle that question on this episode. Turns out it’s not just because they saw a need for a podcast that appealed to Greek Canadians and improv teachers originally from Boston. Photo by Avery Evans on Unsplash .

There's sharing. There is oversharing. Then there are episodes where the hosts compare notes on their vasectomies. This episode is the latter. Photo by Iker Urteaga on Unsplash .

The idea that being on any stage would intimidate Bob is pretty far-fetched, but it turns out that performing for the camera is not his favorite avenue to an audience. Get him in front of an audience, and the energy exchange that happens because of it, and everyone is a happy camper. Photo by  Donald Tong  from  Pexels .
