Merry Christmas everyone. Twaddling along the Victorian Era again as we chat about the astounding author, Charles Dickens. Really, we just wanted an excuse to quote different Christmas Carols. Also, Josh over emphasizes, Jake mocks Alec Guiness, and Danny has a cold. So jump on, tune in, and have a wonderful holiday season.

Twaddlers, Waddlers and those inbetween, welcome to a very optimistic episode of Twaddling Along. This week we discuss Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We start from the ground up. Are you fed, clothed, comforted, loved and feeling a little transcended. Want to know how to get there? Well, don’t ask us. We just hope that we can be a part of your journey to self-fulfillment and enlightenment. Or, just let us make you laugh a little, think a little, and never have to worry if we are subject matter experts.

Utah…People working together…Utah…What a spooky place to be. We are back home today at the Twaddling Along Podcast as we delve even further into the spooks of Utah. Today, Jake takes on the helm and freaks us all out with tales of Hwy 666, abandoned schools, cults, women in white, and all sorts of spooky nonsense. All the while, Josh and Danny hide under the covers, not out of fear, but because we are tired.

Avast Ye Matey’s and welcome aboard another sea-worthy adventures from you trio of buccaneers. Today we take sail on the topic of pirates. Also, I refuse to do any other nautical puns. Instead, why don’t you take a listen as we explore the connection to pirates and Goliath, Atlantis, Peter Ustinov, and pretty lady’s hats. All that and much, much more twaddling, all for your earholes. Take a listen Matey’s.

This week on the Twaddling Along Show we tackle the feast and feasting together. Why do we have feasts, fiestas, fetes, and all manner of reasons to get together and eat? Are we not the anti-social animal we make ourselves out to be? The boys go deep on this one as they explore the psychology behind the feast. Plus, Josh doesn’t scream at a spider.

Twaddling Along climbs Mt. Everest in search of the legendary monster, the Yeti. What is a Yeti? Frightening mythological beast? Lost orangutan? A convenient corporation known for well-made coolers and tumblers? There really is only one way to find out. Also, Josh sees multiple spiders during the episode, we introduce sound effects, and our deep abiding love for Wilford Brimley comes out.

It's the beginning of the week of Halloween, and we know what you really want…a lecture on history! The Twaddling Along Trio tackles this trick-or-treating holiday with an in-depth look at why we do what we do on Halloween. From carved rutabagas, plots to assassinate King James I, ancient feasts that worried about witches, and modern-day capitalism, we discuss it all with our usual flair.

Happy Halloween…now how does that make you feel? The Twaddling trio takes on the deep psychoanalysis of the spooky season on today’s episode. Is there more Frankenstein in Freud? More Jekyll in Dr. Jung? More Skinwalker in Skinner? More Chupacabra in…..Chomsky? Alright, that’s enough of that. Take a listen to find out the wacky way that the brain works around Halloween, and how watching a scary movie may be…relaxing?

Do things go bump in the night? Do objects mysteriously move? Do you have a deep mistrust in the youth of today? Then you may have a Poltergeist. The Twaddling Trio tackle this spooky tale today as we delve into the fantastical and phantasmical world of the “rumbling ghost”. Will Danny scream? Will Josh cry? Will Jake find something else to do? Find out on this week’s episode.

Today on the Twaddling Along podcast, we dive into the life of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. This enigmatic ruler, whose name remains one of Britain’s most beloved, certainly had a colorful past. From her disdain for babies and obsession with her husband to her nitpicky parenting style and notably short stature, one can only imagine the beheadings we’d face if this episode had aired 150 years ago. Also, Jake bemoans the loss of a major organ, Danny bemoans the burden of living independently, and Josh bemoans moaning in general. This is what happens when we take two weeks off, people! Welcome Back!!!

350ish days have passed in this mad-mad world of twaddling, and on this week’s episode, we are going to talk all about it. You know those clip shows from the 90’s? Its that, but in audio form. You thought we could twaddle about history, the paranormal and the human mind? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Thank you for sticking around with us this year, and we hope to have you as a listener for a long time yet to come.

The Twaddlers are sticking close to home as we venture into the fun and fascinating tale of the Bear Lake Monster. This Utah original (if you don’t count literally every other lake monster out there) has all the makings of a fascinating tale. Intrigue, suspense, lampoon, and even a family connection the Twaddling Along Trio. Listen as we ruin Jake’s favorite place in the world.

Lightening, Thunder, and Freedom! That’s what's on deck for this week’s Twaddling Along Podcast. We jump right in with an hour of nothing but Franklin. Benjamin Franklin, the entrepreneur, polymath, and genius, went on to influence every aspect of the beginning of the United States of America. We tackle the often good, sometimes bad, flawed genius that shaped not only generations, but centuries of American history. In the meantime, we also talk about misconceptions of time, the invention of bifocals, and Danny’s budding middle-aged interest in history. All that and more.

We are soooooo tired. Seriously, doesn’t everyone want to go to bed and stay there? This week on the Twaddling Along Podcast, we explain how you can. Well, more like we try to justify why we have bad sleep hygiene. We also discuss why you may not be sleeping, sleep apnea, sleep paralysis, eating honey before bed, and much more. Don’t forget to stay all the way to the end so that you can see just how tired we really were. Also, COVID was weird….right?

Are we alone in the Universe? Are we a reflection of the greater cosmos? Do we fear the darkness knowing that within the realm of the stars lies a deep enemy, unfathomable for mere mortals to comprehend? These are questions we completely ignore in the first of our chats about that all too exciting subject…Aliens. We definitely twaddle on this one.

What better way to start off your week than with a bit of discussion on a topic that is timely, newsworthy, and altogether serious? That’s right, the lads of the twaddle are taking on Mountain Men. We explore the origins of the beaver pelt “extravaganza” and the remarkable, heroic, and sometimes unsettling history of the Mountain Men. Also, Jim Bridger was an influencer; the Mountain Men Rendezvous were the predecessors of Burning Man; and Jake’s deep skepticism of history is finally revealed—all that and more on today’s episode.

Have you ever feared that your butt would fall off if your belly button comes unwound? Have you fretted about peanut butter? Are you scared of the numbers 3,7,53, and 186? We want to let you know that you are not alone. The Twaddling Along Podcast is here for you on this week’s podcast. We took on the common phobias, now we tackle the strange ones — the really strange ones.

There are subjects, and then there are SUBJECTS. This week on the Twaddling Along Podcast, we tackle an oft-recommended topic: the majestic and tremendous trotters of Bigfoot. We presumptuously call this Part 1, wholly due to the fact that such a huge subject matter deserves more than one part. Also, because Jake opened a thesaurus and has more big words he’d like to try. Tune in as we wade into this huge (dare I say Yeti-sized) topic.

We are back with a whole new Twaddling Along Podcast. This week, the boys get dolled up as they dive headfirst into a discussion about cosmetics, makeup, and other such beauty products. Don’t miss out on Josh having a breakdown while trying to explain ancient Japanese beauty standards, Jake obsessing about prehistoric lead poisoning, and Danny admitting to using concealer. All that and more.

"Twaddle" is defined as foolish, trivial, or idle talk. We thought we understood the term ( I mean, look at our name), but it pales in comparison to the bleak and macabre universe of reality television. Join the boys as they explore the genre, from its unexpected historical roots in Nazi Germany, to its modern, ever-changing commentary (or lack thereof) on our culture. After all, when it comes to "twaddling along," does anything do it better than reality TV? Yes. We do. Take that, Jeff Probst.
