  • Ep. 50 - The Zipper Merge and The Podcast Turned 50!

    Have you ever heard of the Zipper Merge? AND more importantly, do you care to hear about it now? 

    In this jam-packed episode (HALFWAY through our season - you could drop us a rating or an email), our Father & Son hosts Steve and Jeff Koegler navigate through a series of seemingly mundane but highly relatable life challenges.

    A hilarious tangent on concert etiquette and traveling woes erupts, particularly focusing on the absurdity of TSA regulations and people's general behavior in airports. The main event, however, is an intense and witty debate over the 'zipper merge' traffic rule, bringing about slippery thoughts on driving etiquette and road rage.

    Jeff and Steve wrap it up with reflections on grocery shopping and the nutty nature of modern travel, all while weaving in the recurring theme of following the rules—or creatively bending them in the Koegler-fashion.

  • Ep. 49 - We were secondhand chain-smoking with Dave Chappelle!

    CHECK YOUR PHONES AT THE DOOR! We're on a Father/Son adventure! Jeff and Steve were third row for Dave Chappelle in Savannah, Georgia. The venue only got a star or two, but the comedian got HIGH marks, for sure. 

    Welcome to Casual Chats in a Parallel Universe - and another giddy glimpse into a day-in-the-life with our favorite Father & Son hosts. 

    While Dave presented his equal-opportunity humor, Steve's hearing aids were working harder than anyone else in the room.

  • Ep. 48 - Drinking, Music & Definitely Weed. Your Mother wants us to go deeper into your childhood.

    Welcome to another therapy sess --- or I mean "casual chat" between Father & Son. Steve and Jeff Koegler are once again diving into the way-back machine and setting the main controls for a fun, little place called "Jeff's Childhood". 

    Jeff is taking off the guardrails, unscrewing the training wheels, and dusting off the fake I.D.'s. We're in a grocery store parking lot and a crowd is forming. 

    Jeff describes this time like this: "It was super dangerous and super stupid". If that doesn't make you listen...check your pulse!

    Not sure the new name is gonna stick, but we're playing around with: "You and Me does You and Me".

    Welcome to another "CASUAL CHAT" with your favorite Father/Son hosts - Steve and Jeff Koegler. This time we're taking a nose-dive into ownership rights, terms & conditions, and all the fun bells and whistles around licenses and leases. 

    And remember ... keep the dirty side down!

  • Ep. 46 - First of all, I am a LEG MAN. BUTT for now, what is a "Hall Pass"?

    There's nothing like a "casual chat" about having "sex in your head". Your favorite Father/Son hosts - Steve and Jeff Koegler - are taking on the big topic of the "HALL PASS". 

    First of all, we're all in for a treat when Jeff explains to his Dad EXACTLY what a "hall pass" is. Steve is bringing the conversation around to his number one pick ... Charlize Theron. 

    Jeff pulls back the curtain on his "first real crush" ... Christie Brinkley. Don't worry, it's all uphill and foreplay from here. Buckle up!

    Your favorite Father/Son hosts are back at it! Steve and Jeff Koegler are out of this world - on today's episode.

    We're diving into the questions of the deep: Is there life on other planets? Is it intelligent life? Steve is a fan of science fiction - AND - a fan of science FACT. Jeff is questioning the "wormhole technology".

    Don't worry, AI is back on the kitchen table discussion too. Steve notes, "there is some POO-POO going on ... but most people couldn't give a fat-shit!".

  • Ep. 44 - Climbing the Decision Tree of Life: Jeff opens up the vault of the past

    Welcome to another "Casual Chat" between Father and Son hosts - Steve and Jeff Koegler. We're getting in deep (even though we always wear casual/yet sensible shoes). 

    Jeff is sifting through the oats of the past. We start the process with a familiar concern that a lot of us have when talking to our parents - Can we really tell them everything that happened when we were growing up ... without repercussions?!?

    Jeff is clearing the fog and going back to the tender age of 13 years old. We're dressing in black, sneaking out of the house, smoking cigarettes, and drinking the elixir called "Spread your Wings"!

    LISTEN FOR THIS MOMENT: Steve Koegler exclaims, "So, you became a NINJA?!".
