This week on a "very special" episode of The Brian Trust, the Brians are in the same room for the first time in the history of the podcast! They chat about  their journeys to their undisclosed location (TOTALLY not at Disney World, guys!), bad driving habits and the toll it takes, weather changes between East & West Coast living, Why neither does extreme sports... and the oddly rule enforcement of German pools. 

Just a reminder: This episode is NOT brought to you by Costco, Apple, the nation of Germany or the hang gliding industry.

We're entering the home stretch of 2018 with another episode! This week, Brian & Brian talk about briefly about their Thanksgiving experiences before giving an update on the movie binge, some car trouble for Brian and chat a little about future-proofing your data.

It's a pre-Thanksgiving helping of Brian Trust stuffing!! This week, the Brians chat about the recent passing of Stan Lee and others (celebs die in 3s, folks... it's a thing!), as well the upcoming double helping of MST3K for its 30th anniversary this year. They also bring up the 40th anniversary (on the date this was recorded!) of the legendarily-infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, which leads into a discussion of their early TV watching days at the dawn of cable TV and waxing nostalgic about evolving phone technology.

Man, there are a LOT of pay phones apparently available for filming in "The Americans". Seriously... so much pay phone usage. Anyway, Happy Life Day everyone!
