In episode 28 the Loosely Related crew brings a discussion-based entirely on the Star Wars franchise. We share the things we liked and, in the case of some of our hosts, especially the things we didn't. Still, we hope this episode helps our listeners cope with the fact that the "Skywalker Saga" has finally come to an end. Let us know your opinions about Star Wars in the comments below, and enjoy this week's episode!

It's finally here! After all the hype on social media, our Christmas special has arrived.

Have a very merry Christmas and we thank you all so much for staying with us for 6 months!

We did it! We're a quarter of the way to 100 episodes! In this silver edition of the loosely related podcast (apparently we skipped bronze), Joe delivers a more informative segment about the many ripoffs that dealerships and some mechanics can put you through. Seriously, y'all, know what people are doing to your car. Joey then ends this week's episode with the return of a very special segment...

This week, coming off a fascinating interview with film producer Nestor Rodgriguez, we recap with stories from our Thanksgiving and Black Friday experiences. Being that the Christmas season is now beginning, we talk about some of our favorite Christmas movies, which later segues into some must-see documentaries that you should go watch right now! To top off the episode, Brian and Joe talk a little bit about the world of rock climbing, especially documentaries The Dawn Wall and Free Solo.

In a very special bonus episode of the Loosely Related Podcast, we interview another amazing guest! Nestor is a producer at Avant Garde Entertainment and has worked with people such as Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Not only was he an incredible guy to have on the podcast, but he also had a ton of great stories to tell about the film industry; we hope you like what he had to say!

In episode 23 Joey and the gang take a look at some of the best and worst deals that will be available this Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Then Rob sheds light on the best and worst aspects of Disney+ now the long-awaited release date has come. The show then concludes with a little Thanksgiving Trivia courtesy of Joe & Brian.

With the absent Rob being replaced by producer Brian, our hosts discuss frustrating things that happen to us all at home, such as those wormholes that transport things you drop across the room. We then talk about timeless shows and video games that still hold up today from decades ago. Lastly, we analyze some major controversies in two major professional sports and discuss their effects on the sports world as a whole.

This week, Brian takes on some of the hosting duties in the absence of Joey and starts us off by introducing The Secret, which was a treasure hunt created in the 1980's. Our hosts try and decode the poem that many have said lead to a key buried somewhere in New York City. Rob then takes us through a review of The Righteous Gemstones and Luigi's Mansion 3,. Joe closes with a review of a local buisness called The Towne Crier and a veteran's day trivia segment.
