  • 43 - The MultiCoop Theory (The Coopi Scoopy)

    Let's explore the Multiverse! This time without the MCU. Yes, the Marvel Multiverse was create based on the ideas of someone else. Although Marvel does a great job presenting the theory it is good to explore the theory itself.

    Of course we take some detours along the way, but the information is fascinating. The complexity of our universe, and the possible parallel universes, is to much to ever cover in one episode, but we hope to provide a foundation. Or at least a spark that leads you to study and learn more about the universe that surrounds you.

    This episode we are joined by the fabled Coop, and he helps use break through this complexity and present it to you.

  • 40 - 2021 Openers (Compilation)

    2021 was a big year for the podcast as we were able to put together 30 episodes. If you are a HDWGH listener you know that every episode comes with a treat at the beginning. So as a treat to the listeners we are putting all of the openers that we created in 2021 into one episode.

    If you are new to the show then you must be wonder what an opener is. Well an Opener, to us, is a skit from a movie or television show that we find to be funny. If we can, we use one that references the topic of the given episode; unfortunately we can't always do that.

    • 39 - Marvelous Multiverse

      If you are a continual listener of 'How Did We Get Here?' you understand that Justin and Branden like to nerd out about the Marvel Cinematic Universe from time to time....or most episodes. This will be something similar to that in that it will be all MCU related content.

      It's really a continuation of the MCU that the brothers had from episode 15-18 where they covered the entirety of the 'Infinity Saga'; as well as the the history of the Marvel Studios in episode 16. In fact if you haven't done so already we highly recommend you go listen to that run of episode as it might be our favorite so far...especially episode 16.

      This episode opens up the MCU world after Thanos...and Mysterio. Except of course the first movie that we cover 'Black Widow' which of course shows Natasha Romanoff around the events of 'Civil War.' Even if it is a flashback it does introduce us to an important character moving forward.

      Then we move to two of the four amazing Disney+ Marvel shows we go this year: Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki. We understand that WandaVision debuted first, but we did this in an attempt to keep them in chronological order; even if that isn't the easiest way to do it. Both the shows we cover bring a lot of fun watching some of the characters that we already know, but also introduce us to new characters and concepts that will play big roles in the future of the MCU.

      We had hoped to cover more in this episode, but as you can see the episode is full of info already. We will be back in January to continue this run, and give you all the information you need to preparation for all the Marvel content in 2022 including the much anticipated 'Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness'

      • 38 - I Have 2 Philanthropy
        Branden and Justin continue their tour through the history of Philanthropy where they left off in episode 36. As always they do this while adding their own fun to the story.
        The opener is "White Christmas" originally by The Drifters and absolutely butchered by the Reyes Brothers. Trust me...we tried, and learned a lot along the way.

      • 37 - The Gang Talks Philanthropy

        Justin and Branden are joined by their older Brysen as we discuss Philanthropy. 

        This episode can get off the rails at times, but the idea of philanthropy is one worth discussing. We found he topic so fascinating that we will return to talk about it in the next episode.

        Join us in the season of giving as we try to find what it means to be philanthropic, and understand if we are doing it in the right way for the right reasons. This episode really runs the gamut from hilarity to philosophic conundrums.

      • 36 - Bonus and Impromptu

        Hello everyone! We just wanted to stop in and say hi. There is no theme to this episode other than we wanted to get behind the mic and talk for a little bit. As you can imagine the conversation is random and all over the place, but would you want it another way?

        Didn't think so. Join brother Justin and Branden Reyes as we talk about our lives, and prepare for another information based episode next week. We wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, and we appreciate all the support we receive for this show.
