Backroads & Bonfires

On this episode of Backroads & Bonfires we start with a long and raucous intro. Adam has more thoughts on social media lunacy and fake humility, plus he is aggravated by why detectives wear suits to chase bad guys. Are we getting into the 90s sitcoms conspiracy documentaries business? Then the boys dive into a genuine conversation about coaching and teaching before Adam shares a crazy movie theatre experience. We close out the episode with a fictional cat draft and remembering the great dining experiences of the 90s. Love y"all!

Ped and Harvard Derek kick off part 2 with him with a good old fashioned BRB intro! Everything from airport spills, boat ride pukes and cathode ray-tube to opinions on yet another psycho wedding couple. PSYCHO! Burk hops back in then for a discussion of best things about small towns, and who better to discuss this with than a man who has lived in both a rural farming community and Boston, MA. The takes are hilarious and sometimes more similar than you may think. Enjoy a delicious 90s quick hitter to end the show!

Ped & Burk welcome one of Adam's closest friends and Harvard alum, Derek Lietz to the podcast! Derek shares about his upbringing and the values he learned on a farm in Alta, IA and being Adam's friend growing up. Ped & Burk then interview Derek about what life is like during the journey as a Harvard student, the university's rich history, culture on campus and so many great stories! Then Adam shares trivia and fun facts about Harvard. One of my favorite episodes we've ever done. Enjoy!

Ped & Burk sit down with hall of fame baseball umpire, renowned tug of war coach (literally), avid Hawkeye fan and all-around great Iowan and human being, Dan Pomeroy, for one whale of a tale. His partner, and also fellow hall of famer, Jim Molitor, chimes in a bit as well. You will love these conversations from as genuine and authentic human beings that you'll ever find. The boys close out the episode remembering the glory days and ensuing adventures of going to the pool as a kid. Enjoy!

The greatest Midwest trio to ever grace mics is together, with the pop of the century from Tom's appearance. A good old fashioned bonfire discussion pod in this episode. Adam recently attended a wedding and also a concert and has opinions on both, Adam's reasons for podcasting and when to go all-in, the boys share an all-time laugh from Adam's hypothetical game, could we be someone's butler, and so much more! These discussion pods are as lit as the Zack Attack's sold out shows at The Max. Enjoy!

Adam & Ryan open this week's show discussing Adam's recent neat idea to do the Puckerbutt Chip Duel, a DOOZY of a wedding story that may upset you, Adam's problem with jersey fashion, remembering Tommy Hilfiger and Adam blow's Burk's mind with a crazy Alta, IA fun fact.

Adam & Ryan bring you the first ever episode from the downtown studio! The boys open the show discussing best grad party food, how bad people are at backing out of parking spaces, Tommy's recent injury, weird cologne commercials, and the negative effect phones are having in today's schools.

Ped & Burk deliver a great blend of humor and serious conversation in episode 170 of Backroad & Bonfires. In the intro the boys discuss male pattern baldness, the sad state of modern art, why the band Everclear wasn't more successful, and social media dm etiquette. Then the episode takes a turn into the serious, but it is a great conversation I think you will enjoy. The boys then draft the best 2000s tv comedies before closing with an all-time 90s segment! Enjoy!

On this episode of Backroads & Bonfires the fellas start off by discussing yet more social media annoyances. We discuss words getting used entirely too much today. We call a listener and then Adam & Ryan discuss farm sustainability as only we can, And because Adam got blown off by Ryan in a text, Adam lists the best things about Poland by himself. Of course, we take it to the 90s to close the show. Hut Hut!
