This week, it's freakin' SHARK WEEK!! We're pumped for a week filled with sharks, as always, but this episode has a different force of nature threatening to take a chunk out of the podcast. After a week off from recording, there's a lot for the guys to talk about. Are Josh and Evan both moving after this episode? Does Josh remember anything? Can Josh outrun a hurricane? Some of these questions will at least be discussed. Stay tuned for some expert "sticking it to the man" moments and a Fact of the Week.

Life is Funny

Ep. 86: Sharknado Season

This week, the guys say goodbye to Bloomington, Indiana. After hanging out over the weekend to have one last hurrah in the guys' college home, Evan sits down to record his last episode in Bloomington before moving out. Josh and Evan dig into the topics of friendship, memories, and reminiscing, and they try to figure out what it means to have a lasting friendship/relationship. The guys also talk a little bit about love, even if love isn't a language they know all that well. There's also a "sticking it to the man" tidbit in there and a "Fact of the Week" like always.

Ep. 85: Farewell to Bloomington

This week, the guys talk about some of the expensive parts of life. Whether it's something smaller like a pair of headphones or an Xbox controller that need replaced, or something more substantial like a car or a place to live, life is expensive! Josh and Evan both have things in their life that are kind of unexpected and annoying costs, but fortunately they know that's how life goes. The guys also talk about how being smart with your purchases can set you up for bigger and better ones down the road, even though they're not financial experts. As always, keep an ear out for a Fact of the Week, and listen to hear how "sticking it to the man" is about to become more challenging!

Ep. 84: Life is Expensive

This week, the guys talk about the world ending. Somehow the topic of discussion gets really depressing, and at some point it doesn't look like things are gonna turn around. Josh and Evan talk about whether we'd know if the world was about to end, how that might happen, and what that might look like. Eventually the conversation takes a turn for the better and the guys talk about getting gifts, how it's good to remove expectations, and how to "stick it to the man." There's also a Fact of the Week snuck in there, and hopefully a high note or two to end on.

Ep. 83: Starts Off Depressing But Gets Better!

This week, the guys get patriotic. They talk about the 4th of July and how it's kind of a weird holiday, even though it's Josh's favorite. Does anybody know when Canada's independence day is? Is America too selfish? Do the guys know anything other than English? All these questions and more will be answered. Evan also brings up a busy week of "sticking it to the man," and this week the man sticks back. Josh listens and laughs at Evan's misfortune, and thanks for doing the same! Listen in for a Fact of the Week or two, and thanks for sticking with us!

Ep. 82: The Man Sticks Back

This week, the guys (particularly Evan) comes out with more heat than Taco Bell's diablo sauce. Were either of them able to practice what they preach by "sticking it to the man," or did the man stick them? Josh and Evan definitely have a lot to talk about early when it comes to "sticking it to the man." They guys also wind up talking about robot dogs in a conversation that sounds like the plot of an episode of "Black Mirror." Will robots and AI take over, how quickly does/will technology move, and will the guys live to see it? They may not have all the answers, but that's never stopped them from talking about it before! Keep an ear out for a Fact of the Week and some trivia, and if you're lucky you might get a shoutout at the end.

Ep. 81: We Live in a “Black Mirror” Episode

This week, Evan has BIG news! In what amounts to a life-changing decision, Evan shares with Josh and the listeners what went into his decision-making process. The guys talk about the future, making life decisions, and what the next couple years could look like. Josh and Evan also share some fun recaps of their weeks, both guys come in with some solid "sticking it to the man" ideas, and there's a number of Fact of the Week tidbits to boot!

Ep. 80: The Future is SCARY!

This week, Josh and Evan talk cheddar. Not cheddar of the cheese variety, but of the money variety. The guys discuss their personal relationships with money, how they spend and/or don't spend their money, and how money plays a part in their lives. Money kind of runs the world, so they know it's a big part of everyone's life whether you like it or not. Before the money talk, the guys have some fun stuff to recap after getting to enjoy some back-to-normal type activities. The guys also share some pretty cool "Fact of the Week" tidbits, and they share one of their best "sticking it to the man" examples yet!

Ep. 79: Money Talk

This week, the guys talk about the future. They get into things early by trying to figure out how much planning each of them does and what kind of a planner they are. At some point it turns into a discussion about how to look at elephants, but we promise it makes sense. Going down the planning rabbit hole, Josh and Evan talk about the stereotypical American Dream and how life is "supposed" to go. Is settling down, buying a house starting, a nuclear family, and retiring in Florida the way to do it? Is the world too different for that to work? Do we want it to work? They might not have the answers, but they sure will talk about it. As always there's a Fact of the Week in there and a way to "stick it to the man" at the end.

Ep. 78: Does the American Dream Exist?

This week, the guys talk about some really important things going on in the United States. In the wake up the murder of George Floyd, Josh and Evan had to talk about social injustice and wanted to give their thoughts on the issues at hand. Some of it is messy, the guys don't know all the answers or have all the facts, but they care about what is going on and care about other people. Hopefully there's a chuckle to be had somewhere in the recap, and there's still a Fact of the Week and a "sticking it to the man" topic. Most importantly though, the guys urge everyone to stay safe and care about one another.

Ep. 77: It’s Time to Listen and Learn

This week, Evan reverts to his childhood self. Whether it's playing with Lego/Legos, fighting in Nerf wars, or decorating a future home with tigers and sports memorabilia, there's a lot to unpack. If you're lucky, you might even get to pick a unique room to stay in if Evan ever opens a hotel (just go listen to find out)! Josh and Evan also both find out whether they actually remember the Pledge of Allegiance, and the results are pretty interesting. On top of all that, the guys discuss if it'd be cool to have a dedicated person listening to each of us in the government, and more on top of that! There are numerous Fact of the Week tidbits to keep an ear out for, and a new way to "stick it to the man" that Evan found.

Ep. 76: Do We Know the Pledge of Allegiance?

This week, the Josh and Evan talk about a whole host of topics. They talk about their weekend adventures of taste testing cake and building 2,000-piece puzzles, their thoughts on artists' decisions to become exclusive to a platform, and more! Do the guys think people like Joe Rogan, Taylor Swift, and Ninja are smart to commit to exclusive deals with specific platforms? Find out the answer to this and much more! Also, this week features the biggest collection of "stick it to the man" suggestions yet, and a TON of Fact of the Week tidbits! 

Ep. 75: Evan is the Tiger King

This week, the guys talk about doing what you love. They try to make sense of what it's like to follow your passions while also trying to maintain some sense of security and normal in a wild life, and how sometimes you can jump around trying to figure out what you like to do. Josh likes doing a lot of things and can change his mind, but Evan thinks that just makes him a man of many talents. The guys also talk a bit about whether it's a good idea for things to be opening up during the pandemic, and how their lives are being impacted. As always there's a couple good Fact of the Week  tidbits in there, and this week there's some really interesting "stick it to the man" content too,

Ep. 74: Open For Business?

This week, the guys get existential. Josh starts out with some very Joe Rogan-esque thoughts that get a little out there. If you like that kind of stuff, you're in luck! If you don't, rest assured that things get a little more normal (but only a little). Josh and Evan talk about video games, the future of virtual reality, and what the world could look like in the future. They also talk a bit about how the reopening of places during a pandemic works, and there are still a lot of problems. Things get really fun when Evan proposes an interesting alternative to Covid-19 from prehistoric times. Listen for a Fact of the Week, some "sticking it to the man" content, and plenty of laughs!

Ep. 73: Too Much Joe Rogan, Not Enough T-Rex

This week, Josh and Evan get a little deep while trying not to overthink overthinking. The episode starts off just fine with talk of trivia nights, iPhone cases, Batman analogies, and other good talk. After a while though, it becomes an all-out analysis of how to better yourself, how adversity comes into play, and how to get along with your own brain. It gets stressful, it's still a good time with some good laughs mixed in, and maybe there's some helpful ideas hidden in there too. Be warned though, the guys are definitely not experts. There's also a Fact of the Week or two, and some more 'stick it to the man' content!

Ep. 72: I Like My Brain
