This week, the guys discuss the different ways they keep track of their lives. Like most people these days, most of their historic footprint is stored digitally on their phones. So, is that enough, or should they have physical pictures like past generations and keep tangible records like Josh likes to do? Who knows, maybe keeping notes on your phone as Evan does is enough. Plus, who's even going to want to look at your old memories anyway, right? The guys also discuss some holiday happenings, some stellar "sticking it to the man" moments, and more. And don't worry, there are Fact of the Week and This Day in Hear-stroy tidbits too!

This week, the guys are gabbing about the government shutdown. Josh has a vacation coming up quickly, but there's a chance there won't be any TSA agents available and FAA workers ready to help facilitate a flight! So, will Josh get to California by air, or will he have to hit the road to make it happen? The guys also recap how it was to hang out at each other's houses for the first and last time of the year, and how Halloween went.

This week, the guys are getting geared up for a Halloween party! Evan is hosting the biggest bash since college, and the two of them will finally be hanging out at one of their nearby houses. Josh is still trying to figure out what to wear, though, so can Evan help him out? And will whatever he decides be any scarier than the artificial intelligence problem that is threatening society as we know it?!

And as always, there are also Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in Hear-story tidbits for your listening pleasure.
This week, the guys settle into their usual roles, with Evan getting back into the gig economy and Josh coming up with crazy ideas to try to stay "on brand." Evan is actively recording from a Rover stay, his second dog-watching gig of the day! And it all comes during a week where he got back to donating plasma, reviewed more Five Guys, bought/sold stuff online, and got up to more classic side hustle shenanigans. Josh, on the other hand, is having wild thoughts about uprooting his life and moving on to the Big Apple. Is it a good idea, or is it just something to do to be "on brand?"

This week, the guys try something they've never done before: a live unboxing of a possible "sticking it to the man" haul! Evan just bought a big box of stuff based on one high-value item he could see, but he doesn't really know what other goodies he might find. So, will he uncover some sellable gems? Or is he the proud owner of a hunk of junk? Maybe he can help fund Josh's new blinds since blocking the sun can be blindingly expensive! The guys also recap their weeks, including a raving review of Kokomo, Indiana, and a Homearama hangout. And as always, there are also some Fact of the Week and This Day in Hearstory tidbits mixed in!

Josh has some similar problems, so they both have thoughts on how to keep the weight off. Oh yeah, did we mention we're talking about their dogs here? The guys also talk about some work stuff and some weekend stuff, and whatever other kind of stuff they can squeeze into an abbreviated episode.

This week, the guys discuss their experiences with a couple of bathroom-related tools. Josh just got back from a fancy resort equipped with a bidet, and Evan is curious for the lowdown, having never used one himself. As a big fan of butt wipes, would bidets take over and do the trick? The guys also talk about house and pet sitting after Evan's dog-watching duties for Josh.

And what would you or Josh do?! The guys talk about what could happen if you found something more important, like a phone or wallet, and they get into how they'd handle the situations.

This week, Josh and Evan start things off on the WRONG foot as they fight to defend their differing opinions on $5 Tuesday at the movie theater. Evan is adamant that there's no better option, especially since you're getting free popcorn and seeing the same exact movie for a better price! On the other hand, Josh can't fathom going to a movie on a Tuesday and is content to pay top dollar for a weekend showing. Even if they can't agree on that, they can still have a good conversation about what they've been up to and what goals they might have for the rest of the summer/year ahead. As always, there are some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in Hear-story tidbits too!
This week, the guys introduce an exciting new element to the podcast: a live phone call! After talking about it for a few weeks, Josh and Evan call up SeaBear, the makers of the vacuum-sealed salmon sensation from podcast past, to see if another salmon batch is still good to eat. Evan thinks it should be newer than the salmon they ate last year, but it's still worth a call to find out whether they'll die if they try it!

This week, the guys celebrate the midway point of 2025 by reviewing their top stuff from the year's first half!

This week, the guys have a few experiences to discuss, namely Evan's electric introduction to the Indoor Football League. For a guy who's seen most of the sports out there, it was a totally new experience for Evan to watch indoor football where the guys are closer to you than to the NFL, both literally and figuratively. The guys discuss the prospects of playing pro for such a low-level league, and how Josh should go check out the Fishers Freight.

Yes, you heard that last one right. Evan came out on the wrong end of a weenie wrestle and paid the price for his efforts. Josh has a similar story from childhood, but it kind of sounds like he might've just punched himself in the face during a fight with the mirror. You be the judge! Along with their other outstanding conversations, the guys also share some stellar Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man, " and This Day in Hear-story content!
