Friendly Interviews

It took until episode 23 before we got someone with an album to promote. For this episode, we are joined by Jack and Valerie. Jack and Mason are coworkers and can joke around about basically anything at work. Valerie is Jack's girlfriend and is the star of this episode. Both Jack and Valerie are very easy to talk to and quite funny if I do say so myself. 

For those looking to check out Jack's band, they are called "Oh Geeez" and their music is available pretty much anywhere you can get music from. 

Our guest this week is Dallas. Dallas has been a good friend of Mason and Lindsay's since college. Not only does Dallas have a lot of swag, but he is also very athletic and kind. The only time Dallas is not kind is when he blatantly lies about the quality of guacamole that Mason makes. It is disappointing that Dallas would spread such falsehoods about Mason's guacamole.... Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe Dallas isn't so kind. 

This week, we interview Brett Favre lovin', Burger King hatin' Josh and his wife Rachel. Mason has known Josh since they were little as they lived on the same street growing up. Josh and Rachel are a very fun couple to be around as they are always seeming to have a good time. Josh is the self proclaimed number 1 fan of Friendly Interviews and has coined the term "Friendliers" as the loyal fan group of Friendly Interviews (They meet on Sundays at 6am at an undisclosed location, turnout isn't great). 

Episode 2 of Season 2 comes out of the gate fast with a tournament style episode. Lindsay's family joins us for the tournament with our first live audience. Contestants in the tournament include Lindsay's sisters Whitney and Andrea, Lindsay's parents Mitch and Steph and Andrea's boyfriend Marty. All contestants have been on the podcast before except for Steph. Steph and Mitch's dog, Gracie also makes an appearance. Gracie is a very happy go lucky dog and she wanted her vote to count for some of the questions. Some interesting topics were covered and it was a lot of fun to make. Hopefully it will be an enjoyable experience for the listener as well!

Starting off Season 2 right with Troy and Courtney. Troy is Mason's brother and Courtney is Troy's girlfriend. Troy and Courtney are both quick witted people who are a lot of fun to be around. Many different topics are covered in this episode from what is your favorite chip to who are you picking first on your imaginary basketball team. Friendly Interviews is back with a new logo and new intro song for season 2 so buckle up!

Our scariest episode yet, this episode is not for the faint of heart. Follow along through all the twists and turns as Mason and Lindsay tell the story of Jordan Chamberlain who lives in modern day Salem. Shortly after finding a secret room in his Grandmother's house, weird and scary things begin to happen. I don't want to give away too much of the story, so I'll stop here....

One night a couple months back, Lindsay and I thought it would be fun to drink a lot of wine while watching a movie and then do a drunken summary of that movie. The movie we chose was Waterworld... Waterworld is available on Peacock if you want to watch it before listening to this podcast. I say that because there are a ton of spoilers in this. Anyways, after we recorded the summary, we thought that there was no way we would actually publish it. However, after some prodding from some friends/fans, we decided to release it to the public with as little edited out as possible as to really capture our drunken state. At no point am I saying that the audio uploaded will be worth your time, only the best of the best will be able to make it thru. So sit back, relax, have a drink, try to follow along with the story as best as you can, and if you make it thru the whole thing, you have earned my respect.

Friendly Interviews number 1 fan, Mitch, joins the podcast! Mitch also just so happens to be Lindsay's dad and he has listened to every Friendly Interviews episode in preparation. Questions like "What's your favorite childhood memory of Lindsay" and "Who's your favorite daughter" don't even phase our most prepared guest, as he answers them all in stride. Lindsay and Mitch reminisce over Lindsay's old college walkout song while Mason dreams aloud of a scenario in which him and Mitch warn people of the dangers of Loch Ness.

This week we welcome Petey and Lauren to the podcast. Petey is one of Mason's friends from high school and Lauren is his fiancé. One interesting thing to note is that Petey is Kailee's brother (episode 15). As Lindsay points out, Petey and Lauren are a very fun couple to hang out with. During this episode, we find out more information about some countries that don't exist. Petey talks about a children's book that he may or may not be writing that is close to his heart. Lauren displays her distaste for slugs while showing some compassion for ants and bees. Lindsay asks some of her usual questions while Mason explains why it would be better to be the toilet than the toilet paper.
