This week’s episode dives into questionable food choices, rare bird sightings around the farm that may or may not just be somebody’s escaped chicken, summer plans that probably won’t happen, and that elite Midwest feeling when Memorial Day Weekend officially unlocks “leave the garage door open” season. Grab a cold drink, fire up the mower you’ve been meaning to fix, and join the conversation, pants remain optional.

After a 7-month break, Pants Optional is finally back behind the mics for Episode 71, and absolutely nothing has changed. We dive into sports, family life, lawn tractors for some reason, and all the nostalgic stuff from childhood that somehow unlocked core memories for everybody. It’s part catch-up, part therapy session, and part complete train wreck. Lots of laughs, random stories, and the kind of conversations that only happen when four dads sit around with microphones and no real plan.

This week the guys dive headfirst into the chaos of high school playoff football, bold predictions are made, and the Cardinals have made everyone proud!

But it wouldn’t be Pants Optional without a hard-hitting journalistic deep-dive into… proper butt-wiping procedure. Yes, technique is debated. Yes, strong opinions are shared. Yes, you will learn things you cannot unlearn.

Plus: unsolicited life hacks, unnecessary sound effects, and the kind of “other fun stuff” that proves why pants are, and always will be, completely optional.

Your favorite foursome returns for another gas-powered episode of Pants Optional! Whether it was a bad bean night or just uncontrollable laughter, things get delightfully out of hand. Grab your headphones (and maybe some air freshener) it’s going to be a blast!

The boys are back again for another episode, two within 2 weeks, they are really getting after it. Mikes was busy with appointments but they still find plenty to cover in episode 68. 

The boys had to get one episode in before the summer was over. Plenty of summer adventures to cover and long time friend of the program, Pat Riley stops by, while Jsump is home cleaning closets. 

The guys jumped into an impromptu podcast. Too late for Mike and his busy schedule of appointments. A lot of great conversation with just the 3 crew members. Be sure to shoot us some topics on the social media pages if you have things for us to discuss and as always, pants are optional. 

Back once again from hiatus, the guys enjoy a much needed session behind the mics. Some great conversations and laughs. We sure wish they could do this more often. 

The guys welcome in their first ever female guest, Hailey Sumpter. Hailey highlights her time as an athlete at NHS.  It was great to get her perspective on being a student athlete and what her future plans are. As serious as this episode might seem, it doesn't lack the normal shenanigans, considering this was the first recording in 7 months. Thanks for listening. 

Surprise surprise they're back again, 2 new episodes in 2 weeks! The guys run down Christmas shopping, Offseason gardening strategies, coaching. youth sports and so much more. This one gets a little long, but you'll definitely want to stay until the end.
