There are a lot of family matters going on this episode. First off, Dave is planning a trip back to his original home state of Massachusetts, to visit a family member with some serious health issues, which leads to a discussion about the ills of air travel and how disappointing it is to live in a future without flying cars or jet packs. Then we learn how the significant others of both our hosts share the same birthday. Nates girlfriend Has connected him with a new job, but like so much of Nate’s daily lif

Nate’s back in MA, and he’s recording in his childhood bedroom. For some reason he’s also been considering a higher calling, but be sure to check his motives on that one! Dave’s got some heavy things on his mind. Not only has the current social climate got him thinking about logical gun reform, but someone close to him is struggling with some serious health issues. Nate attempts to cheer him up with tales of a past trip to the land of Tulips and THC, Amsterdam. And in Nate’s Notes, we learn how fr

Nate’s back on vacation, sipping fruity drinks on the beach while Dave’s been stressing out at a new job. Speaking of jobs, have you ever wondered about the jobs and money issues of prison inmates? Of course not! Nobody does! And finally Nates Notes looks at the expansive cinematic world of Post Rock and Post Metal.1:02-Intros/A Temporarily Southern Perspective4:24-Dave Rejoins the Rat Race16:30-Prison Labor and Finances30:49-Nate’s Notes (Post Rock and Post Metal)

It’s Summertime, and our hosts are in a nostalgic mood. The episode starts with some issues they’re having with pets, including the death of Nate’s horse, Lexi. They get on the subject of friends who have passed on, and discuss some odd happenings that make one question if there is something after this life. Then it’s time to revisit a legendary house party from back in the day. There was drinking, singing, fighting, some chain mail, and a whole lot of property damage.

Nate’s out of town this week, which opens things up for Dave to discuss his raison d’être (the world of comics) with our esteemed guest host, Chris Sheehan of Chris and Reggie’s Cosmic Treadmill Podcast! The subject matter may be new and somewhat uncharted thus far on the Selling Out Show, but the spirit of the conversation is familiar. Still just a couple guys making sense of (read: mostly complaining about) the modern world, with the trademark snark and wit we’ve come to expect from the

On this episode of the Selling Out Show, our esteemed hosts end up touching on topics related to the entertainment media. After Dave tells us about his somewhat frustrating recent trip to Mexico, Nate brings up the fabled days of Saturday morning cartoons, a phenomenon that’s long since dead and gone. After that, we get a history lesson on the origins of that ever present movie theater snack, popcorn. The show comes to a close after a somewhat dark one-two punch of segments focusing on

Our esteemed hosts are easing into the summer with a handful of topics to discuss for your listening pleasure. They talk about Nate’s life on the reservoir, swimming with critters that give Dave the heebie jeebies. Then Dave’s back problems prompt a look at the issue of painkiller prescriptions. Nate looks back at a few cases of MRSA (the serious staph infection) he remembers witnessing during his time in jail, and the imperfect science of jailhouse tattoos. Dave turns 41, which gets

This episode starts with a question for Nate about immediate gratification vs integrity and work. Is being a super one-hit wonder preferable to being in a respectable, steadily working band? Then we look at the current business model of triggering our nostalgia. Have we seen too many King Kong, Godzilla and Star Wars films yet? Dave tells us about a recent panic attack that struck in the middle of the night. But there was a ray of hope in the darkness... Also, Have you noticed the wa

It's Selling Out's 27th episode, and there are some subjects loosely based on our hosts' relationships. Nate's girlfriend has brought home a new addition to their already ridiculous number of pets, and has also started to drift away from her skeptic roots into a more holistic path, much to Nate's chagrin. Dave brings up the issue of housework, and how his household tasks seem to garner a bit less enthusiasm from the Mrs. than he would hope for. We also get our obligatory update on Dave's ongoing ba

The Selling Out Show is officially a year old! As we prepare to move into our second year, there's some talk of memories and issues of health. Nate also happens to be celebrating another year down, so we hear about his less-than-exciting birthday adventures. We get some updates on Dave's physical well-being, and a story from Nate about a past health scare that posed a different threat than he initially thought. There's also a critical look at our entertainment industry, triggered by the re
