This week, the guys found out some fun news and may have a new most famous friend! With an officially MLB pitcher officially in the rolodex, Josh is pretty confident that he has a most famous friend, and Evan is trying to figure out who takes his top spot. Funnily enough, is there any chance that any listeners out there consider a certain podcast host(s) to be their most-famous friend(s)? The guys discuss how fame has changed over the years and whether social media has made it easier or harder to get famous. And stay tuned for some breaking news about one of Westfield's most famous faces, Joey Chestnut! There are also Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits galore, and they check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys try to get to the bottom of whether you are really you if you are a robot. Evan is chomping at the bit to become a cyborg, but they're not sure at what point you stop becoming 'you' if you're just all electronics. Do you need to have skin and bones? Or at least have a brain? What about being just a brain in a vat? What if we already are all just brains in vats?! Josh and Evan might not have all the answers, but it's fun to philosophize about. Not everyone enjoys pondering life's big what-ifs, but it can be a fun exercise that's a lost art these days. The guys also talk about spicy neighborhood secrets, bring up some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys get together to discuss all sorts of things, from whether they believe people are doing their best to whether walking into a Walgreens and duping someone into selling Evan some illegal wine feels as scummy as it sounds... Will you get as much secondhand embarrassment as Josh does from Evan's cringey story? At least you didn't have to live through it as Evan did! In other news, listen in for some stories about the end of Westfield's Census woes, Mother's Day, and more. The guys have some good thoughts about how and why to see the best in people, and probably thoughts about other stuff too! There are also some Fact of the Week and stellar "sticking it to the man" tidbits, but they forgot to check what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys gab about social media and how it can suck so much time and energy these days. Stupid amounts of scrolling can send someone spiraling, so should we stop succumbing to social media's siren song? Maybe it's not that bad to be on your phone, and it could just be part of life these days. Either way, Josh and Evan are out of the social media loop, and maybe they should be selling their souls for more social media success! Who knows, it could just take one viral TikTok or Instagram Reel to make it big! The guys share some shelving successes from their respective homes and some other general banter. And as always, there are Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits mixed in before seeing what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys get into the weeds about the difference between bogs, swamps, and marshes. As riveting as that sounds, it's really just a precursor to a conversation about AI data centers that could crumble the environment and economy as we know it! Does having AI suck up all the water make any sense at all, or is it as bad an idea as it sounds? And will these data centers even stick around long term, or will they become obsolete as technology moves on and leave problems and people in their wake?! Both Josh and Evan have thoughts on how things like AI will impact the future, and it leads to some interesting thoughts about leaving legacies, and what motivates people to plan for a future they may never see versus living large while they last. So, is there any hope for future generations? Who knows! But some things that are certain are some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and whatever's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys are back to chatting about cars. But wait, wait, wait! Before you skip the episode to avoid another "How Cars Work" fiasco, this car conversation is much cooler. As a couple of Americans from the Midwest, Josh and Evan are used to a car-centric culture. But is that a good thing, or could we all benefit from cutting out cars? It might actually be impossible to cut cars completely at this point, but the guys have differing opinions on how car culture could evolve in the future. Will cars ever completely drive themselves or become flying chauffeurs? Or are they destined to always have drivers? The guys weigh in on these questions and more, and they sprinkle some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits before checking what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, Josh is coming to his senses. Er, wait, actually, the Census is coming for Josh! After MONTHS of talking about how Josh's neighborhood is calling out to be counted, the Census is finally coming around. And coincidentally, Evan gets to be the one to creep around town. Even still, the Census is letting the city of Westfield down, and it's all a little 'too little, too late' even though they're hopping around pestering people on Easter. The guys also share their opinions on escape rooms, and Evan, the resident escape room professional, is passionate! In other news, Evan had a close call with a coyote, and there's surely some other stuff going on in their lives. And as always, there's a Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" somewhere before they see what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys are doing their best impression of a police scanner by breaking down all the biggest crime stories. Evan has Kit Kat heists on the brain, while Josh breaks the news that murder recently struck their city! Could the same person be behind both?! Unlikely... The guys also discuss shoplifting before diving into the larger topic of shopping, so maybe they just have crime on the brain. But with this economy, who can blame them?! So, who thinks groceries are great, and who thinks every shopping trip is more like an inconvenient store? There are also Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits in store, and we see what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys are springing into action when it comes to their spring style. Or at least it's kind of on their minds, and there might not be much to change at all. Josh has a bit of a one-track fashion sense, while Evan is more willing to branch out and strut his stuff. So, do the guys have any fashion wisdom to impart on the masses? Maybe, or maybe not, but at least it should lead to some entertaining discussion! The guys also discuss social media and how things are pushed to people, and in the age of AI, things are a bit of a mess. There are also Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits to uncover, and it's always a good time to see what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys are getting back together for another in-person episode! After sharing a lunch break, they break down life 'live' and face to face after finally finding out how to make their audio work well. Both Josh and Evan have experiences to share, but Josh was just in the middle of a sticky Starbucks situation that could've set the tone for his day! The guys also discuss mastering different things over time and trying stuff out with varying degrees of commitment, and the podcast could apply to both. And what's the deal with reading, especially in the age of the audiobook? Listen in to find out, and to hear some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits before learning what's coming up on the calendar!
