This week, Paul and Brian open the show with a lighthearted rant about the Minnesota Twins’ ownership — equal parts exasperation and therapy session. Then, we’re joined by the one and only Brian “Money” Monssen, a dentist with a killer golf swing, a deep love for sports, and a knack for keeping us on our toes in a round of rapid-fire questions. From the fairway to the foul line to the drill chair, “Money” proves he’s as interesting off the green as he is on it.

Play along, yell at your speaker, and send us your wildest answers.

No notes. No theme. No idea what’s coming next. In this episode, we hit each other with a series of totally random questions — all generated by AI — and nothing is off-limits.

Would you live inside a TV show for a year? What food do you irrationally hate? Which animal would be the most annoying if it could talk?

This is the episode where chaos meets curiosity… and the machine. And we try to keep a straight face through it all.

What happens when a 20-something American ends up living in Germany? This week, our guest — now 50 — looks back on the time he called Deutschland home. From high-speed rides on the Autobahn to discovering that not all sausages are created equal, we explore the cultural quirks, food surprises, and day-to-day differences that made living abroad both enlightening and a little uncomfortable.

It’s a funny, thoughtful look at what makes Germany unique… and how those early adventures stuck with him long after the plane ride home.

After a brief hiatus (because time travel is tricky to schedule), we’re back!

This episode explores two big “what ifs”:

⏳ If you could travel through time, where would you go and what would you do?

🌟 And what if you woke up famous tomorrow — for something epic… or something dumb?

We wrap with a true story of unexpected kindness at a Cardinals game that involves an usher, a 3-year-old, and the world’s most important bottle of milk. If you do not tear up you are not human :-)

This week, we don our sculptor hats and carve out our very own Mount Rushmore—of actors, inventions, lakes, fears, plus a few other categories! Join us as we debate which four inventions truly changed the world, daydream about our favorite lakeside escapes, confess the fears that haunt us after dark, and lock in the top sporting spectacles that belong on everyone’s must‑watch list. Expect friendly rivalries, unexpected picks, and plenty of “Wait, you put that on your Mount Rushmore?!” moments. Tune in for laughs, lively banter, and the ultimate climb to the four‑top!

We all have them—that one thing (or twenty) that drives us absolutely insane. In this episode, we dive deep into our biggest pet peeves, from slow walkers who take up the entire sidewalk to people who send “per my last email” with just a little too much passive aggression. We’re airing our grievances, calling out everyday offenders (yes, we’re looking at you, loud chewers), and maybe even discovering a few things we do that annoy each other. It’s a therapeutic, slightly unhinged, and highly relatable rant session. Buckle up, because this one might hit close to home!
