Life is Funny

This week, the guys have some BIG topics to tackle. Today is the big day, as Evan is only a few hours away from his live comedy graduation show! And maybe more importantly, Josh is just a few hours away from watching it. So, will a life of funny pay off for a good five-minute set and set Evan up for the funny life? Or will it become an infamous topic for a future Life is Funny episode? Who knows! And in other news, Evan is doing some secret shopping to get to the bottom of some Chipotle bowls. He's determined to determine whether Chipotle is cheating people out of food when they order online vs. in person, and his findings are quite interesting to Josh, and hopefully to everyone else! The guys also touch on Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits before checking out what's coming up on the calendar.

This week, the guys are hitting on healthcare, and whether it's as hard to understand as it seems. Evan really doesn't get (or have) health insurance, and even though Josh has seen it in action, he isn't an expert either! And now that Josh is over the hill, he's getting the senior special at the doctor's office... The guys also discuss whether their hometown of Westfield is ready for a Costco, and whether they're ready to embrace their inner Costco Guys. Evan also tackled some all-you-can-eat pancakes, leading to talk about other eating feats. There are also Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and they check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys get into a good debate about whether salary caps should exist in sports. Josh starts as a proponent of putting a cap in play, but Evan pushes back on the idea, especially given the way MLB is trying to pitch the issue. It leads to some fun sports discussion that they don't usually have, even if they aren't exactly experts on the subject. The guys also discuss the dastardly deed of dynamic pricing at movie theaters, and whether there's any merit behind it. Evan also has a garage sale recap and has been busy running around dog-sitting on Rover, and the guys are excited to finally embrace fall.

This week, the guys get to talk about life being funny! Evan gets to break down his new comedy class, and maybe he can bring some upgraded humor to the podcast. But don't hold your breath... The guys also talk about whether you should pay for a fishing license if you don't actually catch any fish, and whether they just follow the rules anyway because it makes them feel better. Josh is a big fan of following the rules, while Evan is on the fence depending on the situation. Things wrap up with discussions about taking classes on things, and whether it's a worthwhile way to learn. There are also some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and they check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys test their luck and talk about getting lucky. Evan considers himself to be a pretty fortunate individual who has good things come his way, and Josh is in a similar boat. But do they rely on pennies and four-leaf clovers, or do they make their own luck by being kind to others? Being nice definitely helps, and it can lead to some nice behavior coming right back. The guys also talk about Evan's tease from last week, and it's about bringing funny to life and life being funny! Tune in to find out what the big update is, and whether it could be a new chapter in his life. And as always, there are Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits to discover while also checking out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys discuss some dastardly dolphins doing their dirty dancing on Evan's trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. Despite being too preoccupied to put on their usual show, the dolphins did a different kind of show that wasn't family-friendly. And the walruses followed suit! In other animal news, the guys break down dog years and ask why animal years became a unit of measurement to begin with. Why aren't there more animal-based years than dogs? Josh and Evan don't know, but they do try to finally discuss what two years is like in human years. Is it a long time, or just a short spurt? There are also Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits to touch on, and they check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys try to figure out whether furthering your education in a formal setting will set you up for sustained success, or whether going back to school is far from cool. These days, going to college is less cool than Josh and Evan remember it, but that hasn't stopped Josh from thinking he might want to make it big with an MBA. While they both have no hope of making it into the NBA, maybe becoming a business master would be a good career move. All of that stems from the topic of how long two years really is, which they never really touch on, and it leads to further talk about career plans and the state of the world. There are also some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and the check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys get to discuss whether Evan should sell out and set his sights on a sales job. After being sold on the chance to be essentially set for life (or at least make a lot of money) after just two years of selling his soul, Evan has to decide whether it makes sense to commit all of his time, energy, and life to door-to-door sales for the next two-plus years. Josh weighs in, and the guys talk about what it's like to figure out what works when it comes to work. Is it worth it to work like crazy if you can't enjoy life? As usual, AI comes up in conversation, and they start to wonder if two years is even a long time. And as always, there are Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and they check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys get together to gab about the biggest board/card game event of the year: Gen Con! Evan's second straight year at the event might not have been quite as fun as his first, but at least he didn't get rained on indoors! Instead, he had his own waterworks in the form of tears after epically failing to win a free game with friends. However, his epic "sticking it to the man" attempt was a smashing success, and he got some free tech from Verizon! Josh shares his thoughts on trade shows and what other fandom events feel anything like Gen Con. The guys also recap a nice night at the ballpark, and other topics are touched on. Listen in for Fact of the Week tidbits too, and to check out what's coming up on the calendar!

This week, the guys FINALLY get back to recording after their schedules have been tough to sync. Between Josh being busy before a work trip and then Evan's exciting time as an NFL employee, there are plenty of things to discuss! Namely, the NFL Flag Football Championships came to Westfield, and Evan was right in the middle of the action. Grand Park was poppin', and it turns out that flag football can be super fun! It might be the future of football, unless all the coaches make the kids cry and quit playing... Along with flag football stories, they discuss Josh's long road to recovery and feeling like himself, and other things that have been going on. As always, there are plenty of Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits to share, and they check out what's coming up on the calendar!
