Episode 24 is a special one. Matt brings his eldest son, Elias, on the podcast to test out an idea he's been building behind the scenes called Keepsake Conversations — a way to record meaningful interviews as a time capsule through audio.

Elias, at 12 years old, talks about who he is right now, what matters to him, what he’s dreaming about, and what he hopes future-him remembers. It’s sincere, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful — the kind of moment you’ll want to look back on years down the road.

Consider this a small glimpse into what keepsake storytelling can do.

Episode 23 of Good Times, Noodle Salad is a throwback-heavy hang with longtime friend Devin McClure joining Matt in the studio (no Paige this week).

Matt and Devin catch up on 20 years of friendship, the skateboarders who shaped the way we think, and how getting older doesn’t stop you from loving skateboarding — it just changes how your knees feel afterward. They talk about where the podcast studio is headed, what it’s like being aging skateboarders with real jobs and disposable income, and why skate trips have quietly turned into golf rounds and tee times.

They also try to solve the mystery of where the hell Matt Ferrell has been, reminisce about old times, and reflect on how growing up doesn’t mean letting go — it just means doing the same dumb stuff with slightly better gear.

Good times, bad knees, and noodle salad energy as always.

Episode 22 of Good Times, Noodle Salad is a big one — it’s our first-ever episode recorded in the new studio 🎙️🏡

Matt Smith and Paige Teregan sit down to talk through a season of massive life changes: moving into our new house, diving headfirst into remodeling the basement (including the bar build 👀), and what it’s really been like turning a house into a home while juggling everything else life throws at you.

Paige opens up about leaving teaching and, in hindsight, just how heavy that chapter was on her mental health — what she didn’t realize at the time, and what clarity looks like on the other side of burnout. It’s honest, reflective, and probably relatable for anyone who’s ever powered through a job that slowly drained them.

We also introduce our brand new business, Keepsake Conversations — a project that’s close to our hearts. Families can now come into our studio to record a podcast-style conversation with loved ones, creating an audio and video time capsule that can be shared and cherished for generations.

New studio. New house. New business. Big feelings. Same Good Times.
