We have a conversation with Mike, a Jacksonville tour guide and amateur paranormal investigator, explains how a gold rush town became a map of haunted spirits, history and waypoints. From saloons and inns to quiet family homes, Mike walks us through a method that starts with permission and skepticism, not jump scares: rule out bad pipes and old floorboards first, then see what’s left.

We talk tools you can actually hold—K2 meters for EMF spikes, digital recorders for EVPs, and spirit boxes that sweep radio bands for potential replies. Mike shares why he avoids provocation, prays before and after sessions, and sets hard boundaries so the night’s curiosity doesn’t follow him home. The stories here are intimate and grounded: a toddler happily chatting to “someone” in the same sunlit corner, a fleeting figure glimpsed near a kitchen doorway, and a grandmother who seemed to step from an antique mirror before that mirror changed hands. Along the way we tackle a scientist’s challenge—evidence versus proof—and why “residual hauntings” can feel like history replaying on loop while interactive moments hint at something more present.

This is a warm, candid tour of Jacksonville, Oregon’s haunted history and a practical guide to investigating without losing your head. If you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just a curious night owl, you’ll find plenty to argue with and a few details you won’t forget—like why some business owners quietly say no to after-hours investigations and how objects can carry more than dust.

Five friends crowd around a backyard table, cans in hand, and put college football on trial. The laughs and jabs come easy, but the stakes are real: a playoff calendar that punishes focus, conference championships that risk top seeds, and a transfer portal that opens while teams still have games to play. We walk through how the system rewards chaos, how the NFL’s broadcast gravity warps college scheduling, and why expanding the playoff only matters if you fix timing, travel, and incentives.

Then we zoom into the most unlikely headline of the year: Indiana’s surge from afterthought to juggernaut. We break down the repeatable mechanics behind it—turnover margin, third-down mastery, a run-first identity, and mistake-free execution—and ask whether that’s coaching, NIL muscle, or both. Miami’s emotion and Oregon’s firepower get their due, but the room keeps returning to culture: standards that make a team play clean when it matters most. We even press the hardest question for any hot coach—chase the next logo or build a legacy where you stand?

The bigger picture isn’t pretty. Realignment decisions and media deals torpedoed the Pac-12 and dumped brutal travel on non-football athletes who still have classes at 8 a.m. Donors and collectives act like GMs, ADs morph into cap managers, and the sport inches toward a future where a few programs spend like baseball’s biggest brands. We don’t just vent; we sketch fixes: start the playoff the week after the regular season, shut the portal until everyone’s done playing, set uniform NIL rules, and give higher seeds home games to reward performance and cut waste.

You’ll get sharp predictions—some see Indiana by three scores, others a tight finish—and a quick NFL lightning round tying the same themes to pro ball: coaching stability, quarterback cycles, and how cold weather exposes rosters. Subscribe, share with a fellow college football diehard, and drop your top reform idea in a review. What would you change first: the portal window, conference titles, or NIL rules?

The word “overrated” gets thrown around a lot, but what does it really mean when we’re talking Classic Rock bands like The Beatles, U2, The Doors, or The Beach Boys? We take the gloves off and dig into catalogs, musicianship, live shows, and cultural influence to separate hype from staying power. Along the way we reveal our musical DNA—from Buddy Holly and Sinatra to folk harmonies and guitar greats—and how those roots shape the way we judge legends.

We move fast through a bold list: defending Dolly Parton’s longevity, questioning Radiohead’s placement, and revisiting The Who with a new lens after seeing them live. Kiss becomes a case study in image versus songcraft and why marketing can’t fake great deep cuts. The Bee Gees earn a reappraisal for impeccable harmonies and production, while U2’s singular sound holds up beyond the arena glow. We unpack why Jimmy Buffett’s fan culture can overshadow songwriting, and how Steely Dan’s chord architecture and studio rigor make them unavoidable—even for skeptics.

Then we get granular: the Beatles flashpoint, Harrison’s underrated brilliance, and whether “number ones” equals greatness. We contrast early grit and later ballad drift with Journey and REO, and we celebrate the Eagles’ bottomless catalog and solo spinoffs as proof that consistency matters. Pioneers like Black Sabbath and James Brown get their due, but we insist that innovation still needs songs that land. Jethro Tull’s flute-forward theatrics split the room, while Rush earns a near-unanimous defense for technical mastery and live perfection that mirrors the records.

If you love music debates fueled by equal parts knowledge and conviction, you’ll feel right at home. Press play, argue with us, and tell us who’s overhyped, who’s timeless, and who surprised you. Subscribe, share with a fellow music nerd, and drop a review with your most controversial “overrated” pick—we’ll read the best ones on a future show.

We get together by roasting Christmas Classics, arguing about holiday movies, songs and swapping stories about Santa myths, gifts and all sorts of chaos. It starts as a singalong and spirals into a fast, loose, and very adult look into Christmas Classics

A backyard studio, a table full of friends, and a holiday that refuses to stay tidy—this one starts with Thanksgiving stories and turns into something bigger. We swap decades-in-the-kitchen war tales, the unexpected joy of not cooking, and the scandal of serving ham instead of turkey. There’s practical wisdom too: mini pies that beat the knife fight, why Costco can save a feast, and how appetizers sabotage dinner if you don’t watch the clock.

A humble backyard studio, a round table of friends, and zero filter—that’s our cue to talk about the real mechanics of adult friendship, boundaries with lots of laughter. We start with laughs and drinks, then push into the messy middle: why women often share the unshareable, why men hide feeling behind performance, and how those habits collide or harmonize when friendships cross genders.

We swap stories that sound chaotic but reveal patterns: matching tattoos that mark loyalty, a grocery-store “flower guy” who turned kindness into a spark, and the running “leggings color” game that proves inside jokes can build quick safety. Then we get serious about boundaries. Where’s the line between playful and inappropriate? We break down consent in plain language: ask before hugging, keep hands where they belong, watch for lingering or pressure, and remember the easiest test—would you be fine if your partner saw this? If not, it’s over the line.

Work friendships get their own spotlight: proximity makes confidants fast, but late-night texts and constant attention can bruise a partner’s trust. We offer practical ways to reset—daytime logistics, shared expectations, and naming discomfort without blame. The group challenges the myth that men and women can’t be just friends, arguing that love without romance is not only possible but vital. The real measure of a friend? They show up. One of us tells a story about an ER visit where a friend simply came down to sit and wait. No grand gesture, just presence. That’s the blueprint.

If you’re here for the heart and the humor, you’ll get both—bathroom jokes, consent etiquette, “silver vixen” pride, and a lot of warmth. Tap play to rethink your own circle, set cleaner boundaries, and maybe text someone a simple “love you.” If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find us.

With the coaching chaos in college football, El Dude comes in and we go over a wave of pink slips just hit some of college football’s biggest brands, and the story behind the headlines is messier than a busted coverage. We sit down with beers and blunt honesty to trace how NIL collectives, transfer portal churn, and impatient boosters have turned the head coach role into a 365-day gauntlet. From Penn State breaking with James Franklin to LSU paying a jaw-dropping buyout for Brian Kelly, we unpack why wealthy programs are torching cash, what that means for recruiting, and how culture gets shredded when you try to buy a roster overnight.

We zoom out to the bigger picture: why Florida’s talent base isn’t translating, how Stanford’s academic standards throttle scalability, and what the Pac-12 collapse taught everyone about leverage and timing. Then we get practical. Portal-first strategies look good on paper and break in real life; the sustainable model is still high school recruiting plus a dozen targeted transfers. Meanwhile, staffs that mirror NFL front offices—personnel directors, NIL strategists, and analytics-driven scouting—are quietly building edges that last longer than one hype cycle.

The NFL looms large in this conversation. With college jobs morphing into CEO-fundraiser hybrids, top coaches like Dan Lanning and Lane Kiffin will have every reason to jump toward organizations with GMs, scouting infrastructure, and actual offseasons. We talk fit, timing, and why the path now feels one-way: college to pro. And yes, we air out our Miami Dolphins pain while making the case for culture-builders over quick fixes.

If you care about how teams actually win—recruiting pipelines, roster cohesion, buyout math, donor politics—this deep dive will arm you with context and a few strong opinions. Listen, share with a fellow diehard, and tell us: which blue blood rebounds next, and which powerhouse is heading for another costly reset?

A short trip can feel huge when you stop chasing checklists and start collecting stories. We kick off with a Michigan swing built around kitchens, porches, and a portable Blackstone loaded with crispy pork cutlets—proof that time with family can outrank any itinerary. From there we head to Branson, meet up with a lifelong friend, ride the big Ferris wheel, and discover a tasting room that turns moonshine into a ritual. The real jolt arrives on the Pink Jeep tour: a ten-story, 41-degree drop into a quarry that’s equal parts adrenaline and Ozark education, with vistas that stretch toward Arkansas and a surprising dose of local history, including Johnny Morris’s fingerprints on Top of the Rock.

Travel isn’t just about the highs. We go hunting for barbecue in Missouri—land of smoke and devotion—and run into two teachable moments: an electric-smoker letdown with rave reviews and a trophy-winning pitmaster whose restaurant brisket doesn’t match the medals. That contrast opens a bigger talk about tourist-town dining, where turnover can prop up average food. The fix is simple and practical: look for real pits, ask what they cook on, watch the plates coming out, and trust the rooms where the staff look proud. That’s how we found the places we’ll return to: a lake-view breakfast spot with heart and a sprawling Mexican restaurant that runs Taco Tuesday like a salsa-and-chips supply chain, complete with can’t-argue margarita prices.

Along the way a legendary wager takes shape: can Jeffy score free fried okra, on camera, without playing the “it’s a bet” card? The rules are set, the stakes are twenty bucks, and the video is non-negotiable. It’s ridiculous and perfect—the kind of micro-drama that turns a good trip into a story you’ll tell for years. Come for the travel tips and local intel; stay for the banter, the hospitality lessons, and the promise of a filmed okra showdown. If this ride made you smile or updated your Branson and Michigan short list, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review with your best hidden-gem restaurant pick.

The mics are back on, the beers are cold, and we jump straight into the lines we can’t stop quoting—from the drill-sergeant roar of Full Metal Jacket to the deadpan chaos of Caddyshack and the cult cadence of The Big Lebowski. What starts as a quick round of favorites turns into a surprisingly honest look at why certain lines stick, how we use them at work and with friends, and why the perfect quote sometimes beats an original thought when a moment needs the right punch.

From there, we take a joyride through radio history: late-night AM signals stretching across states, Wolfman Jack myths, and the rise of shock jocks like Howard Stern, Opie & Anthony, and Mancow. We talk about the infamous “wardrobe malfunction” crackdown that changed broadcast risk-taking, and how podcasting’s looser rules still haven’t fully replaced the thrill of live radio’s tightrope. Along the way, we share our “imperfectionist” confession—a riff about noticing every tiny flaw in our studio—and use it to explore how creators obsess, improvise, and keep going anyway.

Then it’s a gear shift into TV and movies: the art of casting changes (Cheers nails it), the drain of talent into streaming, and why remakes often miss the heartbeat of original stories. We shout out a few series worth the time and debate whether Hollywood can still surprise us with something truly new. Finally, we toss out a friendly challenge: help us land a guest with a great story—maybe Jim Belushi, Adam Carolla, Dan Aykroyd, or a local legend with a wild past. If they can laugh, riff, and lean into the chaos, we’ll make space at the table.

If this mix of nostalgia, radio nerdery, and creative scheming hits your sweet spot, tap follow, share with a friend who quotes movies too much, and tell us: who should we invite next—and what line always gets you grinning?
