Strangely Familiar

This one goes out to all of our StrangeFam working their way through NNN. We see you.

November gets the short end of the stick, but not on this pod.

Matt is both actively ill and actively inspired by Jeff’s outrageous fitness journey.

Plus, are video games fairly priced? What about microtransactions? DLC?

You guys! 5’8” is not 5’4” - And a personality can be 6’5”. Jeff might be trying to convince Matt to get back on the dating sites with a new hot strat.

Jeff recounted his work trip to Chicago, where he was the only work teammate who didn't go to the optional dinner. Lul. The ham was cold.

Also, what makes you instantly less attracted to someone you initially were attracted to?

StrangeFam! We’re taking everything we’ve learned from business books into this one. Where did we read about an octopus male sex toy? Fair question. But, we’re just defeating the stigma here.

Beer releases and concert tickets. Sunburns in October. Favorite old guy things to do. Let’s have at it!

Who looks like they’re having fun? We’ve got sportspuck to talk! 

Jeff forgot he bought tickets to an all-time comedy show this past weekend. Did he end up going?

We discussed supporting the arts…with money. Do you pay enough?

And, what’s the most random thing we’ve become genuinely obsessed with?

Jeff is a stealer of the truth. He went to Vegas without telling Matt. When in Vegas, eat pancakes, as he says.

Jeff gave his full review of The Sphere and ‘The Wizard of Oz’ as an adult. 

Matt was touched by a politician this week. On his own doorstep. 

And what’s up with these body changes? Why is seeing so hard now? Why are there so many gerbils inside of us?

When’s the right time in a young man’s life to purchase a VR headset?

Matt’s big lips aren’t wet enough for his liking. And Jeff has a new strat for baseball celebrations. It’s all about the booze.

The guys got to the bottom of Big Maintenance. They go full Dexter.

And Jeff finds his anger when guessing a random person’s 90s movie tier list. You’ve got mail!

Matt got pulled over by the Staties before recording this pod, and he could be in jail.

But, in good news, Matt and Jeff have done…stuff…this summer. And now it’s time for the Fall. Help us out StrangeFam! We need your ideas for the stakes between Matt and Jeff’s stupid football bets.

Matt and Jeff had an actual weekend together IRL! We went to Little Mania, a house party, and to a ‘Live’ concert…at home.

Jeff keeps on text read receipts…yikes. Matt executes cabin faux pas…double yikes.

And at the 45-minute mark, we talk about young death. So…yeah.

Favorite new band of 2026?
