Episode #51

In this episode, Tim and Joseph settle into one of their most personal and nostalgic conversations yet. They start by discussing their revived tradition of frying turkeys — something their dad used to do — and the logistical comedy of delivering foil-wrapped “fried butterball basketballs” to the whole family. The episode quickly turns into a memory spiral: childhood pets, the infamous one-eyed Cocker Spaniel Hershey, his year-long disappearance and “Christmas miracle” return, and the heartbreak of him later being hit by a truck while they were burying a cat.
From there, they revisit their upbringing — their grandmother’s clean, quiet, formal Thanksgiving versus their Meemaw’s smoky, cramped, chaotic UNO-playing house packed with loud relatives. They reflect on how magical holidays felt as kids and how hard it is to recreate that magic as adults. The two brothers talk about traditions they’ve lost, parenting differences, Santa rules, Elf on the Shelf, caroling, kids turning into teenagers, family members aging, and what they want their own families to remember decades from now. It’s an episode about childhood, family legacy, and trying to rebuild meaning in adulthood.

Episode #50

In this laid-back, funny episode, Tim and Mike open by admitting they lack basic “survival skills” — neither can hunt, gut a deer, or live off the land. That launches a stream of self-deprecating jokes about what they would do if society collapsed: rely on fishing, commentary, or just eating each other.
From there, they drift into what becomes the core of the episode: their obsession with cooking techniques. Tim explains how he and Joseph still fry turkeys every year, sharing stories about taking over a tradition their dad used to run. The real highlight is Tim’s discovery of Bacon Up, a giant tub of filtered bacon grease he proudly uses for everything, treating it like a secret weapon for flavor.
The conversation becomes a blend of science and humor as they break down why so many people overcook meat, what the “pop-up thermometer” gets wrong, and why pulling food early and letting it rest is the real secret to juiciness. Mike adds his experience with smoking meats, brining, and cooking for a morning event, comparing notes and timing with Tim’s frying process.
They dive into side stories about being tricked into eating deer, why venison always seems to show up wrapped in bacon, why people burn houses down with fryers, and which cooking setups actually make sense for normal people. Throughout, the episode stays relaxed, funny, practical, and centered on two guys riffing on cooking, survival, and the ridiculousness of adulthood.

In this Thanksgiving episode, Tim looks back on the holiday traditions that shaped him. Triggered by the recent passing of his grandfather Gene, he revisits his childhood routines — first Thanksgiving dinner at his grandmother Gran’s tidy home in Donelson, then a chaotic second meal at Unile's house in Antioch, where the air was thick with cigarette smoke, laughter, and arguments about dressing recipes. He describes riding in the family minivan between houses, watching stars through the cracked window, and recognizing how those moments formed his sense of gratitude. The episode also reflects on the meaning of Thanksgiving versus Christmas — the gift-free celebration of simply being together — and how adulthood and parenthood often blur that appreciation. Tim closes by thanking listeners for following The Fairview Social Podcast, calling it a “diary” for his children and a reminder that connection, not gifts, is what matters most.

Recorded shortly after Gene Hollis’s final arrangements were planned, this episode captures Tim, his brother Joseph, and his wife Katlin trying to process a difficult week with humor and realism. They open with a toast of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked in Gene’s honor, recalling how he was flirting with nurses even on his final day. The trio recounts their uncomfortable — and hilarious — experience at the funeral home, debating coffin prices, joking about “accommodating coffins,” and making the young funeral director visibly uneasy. They segue into talk about cremation, family loss over the years, and how expensive death has become. Tim reflects on now being the eldest Hollis and family patriarch, while Joseph vows to stop swearing for one episode (and fails). They also discuss another family death anniversary, pets’ burials, and cremation mishaps, before ending on the surreal moment of welcoming a new baby to the family the same day as Gene’s burial. The result is a candid, funny, and heartfelt exploration of family, grief, and the strange balance of life and death.

Tim and his Nikki sit down after an emotional week to process the death of Tim’s grandfather, Gene Hollis. The episode begins with casual hot-tub banter, then shifts into reflections on family loss, care, and closure. They recall Gene’s final hours, his humor until the very end, and the long line of family members they’ve personally watched pass away. The discussion moves toward how the couple supported Gene by moving him into their home, helping him transition to assisted living, and ultimately planning his burial. Along the way they use humor — even while shopping for caskets — to cope with grief, talk about the high cost of dying, and reflect on generational change. The show closes on gratitude for each other and the “new chapters” beginning in their family.

Tim welcomes his son Eli and niece Jenna to The Fairview Social Podcast for their first-ever appearance. What starts with jokes about a can of SpaghettiOs (from a viral TikTok comment) turns into a family catch-up filled with wild stories — like Eli’s 140-mph speeding ticket that landed him briefly in jail, Jenna’s multiple foot surgeries after a car crash, and how both of them keep getting caught in the family’s “birthday curse” where everyone’s born the same week. The trio riff on family quirks, share memories from basic training, laugh about awkward relationships (including Eli’s infamous false-teeth breakup), and talk about his time serving in Estonia during near–World War III drills. They close out reflecting on COVID, work-from-home culture, and upcoming tattoos — all while joking like a tight-knit family who can roast each other with love.

Tim reunites with his friends Zach and Mike for a relaxed, funny conversation that moves between personal stories, work banter, and creative ideas. They joke about calling Joseph mid-show and fantasize about buying a small plane to fly from Tim's backyard, discuss AI tools used in business proposals, and swap ideas for landscaping, fire pits, and DIY projects. There’s talk about COVID-era memories, Halloween vs. Thanksgiving, and how time seems to fly by. The crew also discusses podcast ads, listener growth, and even runs a spontaneous “like and subscribe” promo. Overall, it’s an easygoing mix of humor, friendship, and relatable everyday topics.

In this episode, Tim hosts Joseph and Eric for a relaxed and often hilarious chat over Woodford Reserve Double Oaked whiskey. The trio kicks off by toasting Gene, a family member now in hospice, and then spiral into jokes about podcast intros, YouTube culture, and “smacking the like button.” Eric shares his success running Goblin Con, a local paranormal convention, and the group reminisces about growing up together in Fairview — from childhood pranks to church youth groups and haunted houses. Joseph tells a disastrous haunted hayride story that launches a rant about how Halloween has lost its edge, turning into a broader discussion about nostalgia, parenting, and small-town culture. The hosts also touch on personal topics like family loss, old friends, and funny (sometimes inappropriate) memories from their youth, all while maintaining the raw, unfiltered tone that defines The Fairview Social Podcast.
