Mike v. Matt

The gentlemen continue to talk about Adam Savage's book Every Tool's a Hammer. This quickly devolves into a discussion about the power and importance of rabbit holes. Matt poorly reads excerpts. And then they talk about the usage and importance of the mundane list. And summer projects.

The boys get an update on Matt’s descent into old man-hood and discuss the Adam Savage book, Every Tool’s a Hammer.

Mike very patiently explains to Matt how the sun works after the recent eclipse. And the boys talk about the recent movie Civil War and our impending doom.

After a lengthy hiatus, the boys return to discuss preparation for the inevitable impending disaster and subsequent societal collapse. 

The boys return from respective Spring Break trips with their sons. No, they did not head to Ft. Lauderdale to relive the misadventures of the 80s, but they did manage to have some fun and spread some hardscrabble lessons to the younger generation. Also, episode 50!

Mike and Matt talk about movies they perhaps were allowed to watch a bit too young. And how they’ve revisited that sin upon their own children. But then again, perhaps this is all another example of how the 80s were not a child-friendly decade.

The boys discuss the return of live music in a post-COVID world. They reminisce about concerts in their younger years and what they’d like to see before they die.

In light of recent events both real (spy balloons, earthquakes) and imagined (The Last of Us), the boys revisit an old favorite topic: Disasters. Would they survive? Would they even try? What are their favorite scenarios? Why don’t old science fiction novels hold up? Tune in for all the exciting details.

It’s been a long time, but the boys are back. Mike and Matt discuss their latest obsession with Gran Turismo, while also talking about the weather and Mike’s inability to stay home for any length of time.

The boys take up the challenge to buy random comics and discuss. They explore the changes in the experience since childhood and also lament the difficulties in buying issue #1.
