This is a Ryan EXCLUSIVE. Toon-in for a deeep analysis on success. What it means to me? What it means to us? And I prompt viewpoints that may convert the dominating pressure of success to clear our psyches by re-defining our worldview. Erik and I are on for next week. You'll hear from US then!

WELLNESS CHECK. So we are not back, but Ryan checks in with all y'all on this beautiful HUMP DAY. Erik and Ryan feel run-down, and may be trying too much, so we've taken a break. But not all is lost, during our break we've been cooking-up some new options for the show.

Hello beautiful PEOPLE, It's me again, Erik to talk your ear off. I was actually awake for this one as compared to the last so I think the conversation with myself flowed a bit better and should be more listenable. I think there are some key moments where I touched on subjects I care about and feelings of the world that matter to me. I hope you can all get something out of it. It's just some words to send out into the universe. Take it or leave it, they are here for your consumption. So muc...

Hello everybody, This episode is just Erik, hello peeps and gals, and ladies. It is a brain foggy day, but we came and we went. He discusses topics from staying in touch with loved ones to todays struggles, believing in something, and ends with some updates. It may be slow at times and seem like there is no point. And sometimes there isn't, thats what a good rant is for. So sit tight and let it all soak in! Love far and wide, to the farthest corners of existence. Stay up.

Hello lovely listeners. We are back with another log jammer of an episode! We get into it, talking first about my new move to Oakland and some dirty lakes then quickly transition into some more broad topics around productivity and fulfilling work. We end with one of our patented questions and fail to stick to a shorter episode as is typically the case with us. We hope you enjoy your listen as always. Thank you to our loyal fans and welcome those who are newer to the community!! Links Better...

Welcome back to your weekly podcast with Erik and myself, Ryan. This episode has hints of calculated risk and genuity. Eriks talks music career goals. As I reflect it’s quite a crazy jump; how many people do you know have quit their career for something brand new? Shout out to Ammie. He speaks on his plans to become a stage performer and meet in the Oakland music scene. We dive into concepts presented in the book Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks: how to tell a casual, yet touching story, and how ...

This week Ryan shares his thoughts on abortion in America. You may ask, possibly out of frustration, "What in the heck does Ryan know about abortion?" And to tell you the truth... not much. But during the next forty minutes he will tell you which systems could help tighten the political divide, and that's the best he can do. TRIGGER warning! So tune the heck in to consume Ryan’s promotion of his ideology on a balanced abortion approach. Uniquely Ryan.

A short with a singular host. Uniquely Ryan.

First off, one must consider the state at which Mark Wahlberg is so fricken catholic! Ryan flirts with giving a new friend COVID, while playing stiff defensive basketball. We discuss the best and worst rap concerts we've each been a part of, which brings Ryan to his enlightening, yet homosexual, moment with Vince staples, and Erik to reflect on OPTIMAL clothing trends - khakis and no shirt... Hash vs hashish, loads of media suggestions, all while fighting the urge of dropping into the depths ...

Hello, all the lovely listeners that are so kind to return week after week. We are still working hard to make a quality product that is worth listening to. So thank you, from the bottom of both of our hearts. If we had zero listens we probably wouldn't keep doing this. But that being said we enjoy the time we spend together and hope to hear from more listeners so we can better our product and have more audience engagement. We plan on beginning our journey into interviewing and simply bringing...

This session is recorded on Good Friday and should tickle your think-bone with hints of goodwill, paranoia and selflessness. Enjoy us while drinking some rich coffee or a nice cold brewski.

Hello, good morning, good afternoon, friends and family. The same thing, I think so. As the title suggests, this episode has a lot of stuff in it. A few topics stick around, but mostly we are jumpin'. Consider us frogs in this episode because we are hoppin' from one topic lilypad to the next. It's fun. It's casual. We make jokes. Hopefully, we do not offend. We are very uneducated on most of the topics we speak about, but it is important to start conversations. At the least, we will spark tha...

Ryan and Erik catch up on the beautiful Friday afternoon. This episode is short, sweet and a bit raunchy. We dilly during the first ten minutes, but move on to more difficult topics; our ideal funeral, capitalism’s symbiosis with the (global) media, and boobs on Instagram. We question the general obsession with true crime podcasts and ask why these horrible stories are so damn intriguing, and possibly even comforting… Thankfully, towards the end we get into some mind-numbing nonsense to send ...

Big shout outs to Caleb Pressly and Kodak black for being ultimate sources of good comedy. We talk about the predictive mold of art. Ryan loves the ‘friends take a journey’: collective heroes tale. We ask the burning questions, are sitcoms realistic? Is bing-ing racist, and accents? And to what extent do we value friendship and social interaction. Erik talks his job - intensive long term care, in children. Ryan gives his feedback and where the ethics lay. Bing!: https://youtu.be/pgwr9r36zIU

Hello friends! Hear the birds, touch the tree's branches and take today to love living in the outdoors. On this weeks episode we began with the values and virtues of (not) eating meat. Then, we invest a good chunk of time discussing (our) yearly goals! And it takes us to a dive into the differences between our two approaches to maintaining a focused lifestyle. We get into that wintery feeling when we speak on the joys of skiing. And most IMPORTANTLY cover the daring topic of insect body...

Hello, errrrbody. Today we did an impromptu interview of our main squeeze Erik, one of your lovely podcast cohosts. This interview happened naturally, and I think we both got a lot out of the chat.

We are moving around! Moving to Europe, and even grown men miss home. This was recorded back in the day when Kanye was out there teasing us with the Donda release: are you a true fan if you get annoyed? Does anyone remember book socks from elementary school? How about the auditorium book fairs with the Harry Potter posters and Abe Lincoln figurines? AND, and, n'...Erik’s dedication takes him to the brink of exhaustion. Lost in the rockies Erik flirts with suffering a major freak out. Li...
