The Steves Podcast

Our love for the wilderness has led to some amazing hiking adventures.  Come join us as we talk about what hiking and backpacking have meant to us.

We have a little fun pretending to be bad 911 operators, paying our respects to first responders and honoring those that put our lives first.

Listener Shaina asks us to talk about the concept of looking into the void and finding the survival instincts to pull away from it.  It's an interesting idea that we had not contemplated before.  Survival is the key word here! 

On this episode, we talk about our experience with motorized transportation.  The vehicles we've had, how we learned to operate them, and where they've taken us.  Cars are such a part of our lives and they have a culture all their own.

Listener David asked us a question for the ages:  What is the correct number of pillows on your bed?  You know we have our opinions about this one!  Do we need more than just the one where we lay our heads, or do our beds deserve some delightful design elements?  

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale.....   

Listener Nicole presented this scenario to us for discussion: You are stranded on a deserted island - A magic fairy can deliver 3 things to you - What would we choose and why?

Take a journey with The Steves and find out what things we can't live without.  The practical, the whimsical, and the philisophical.

They are sometimes in the corner of a strip mall, in a back alley, off a road on the outskirts of town.  They are typically dark and a bit dingy, but they can also be quaint and quirky.   We talk about dive bars, the ones we've known and the ones we've yet to visit.  

Do you have a routine that you follow each day as you prepare for what will come?  We do.  On this episode, we invite you into our more private lives and let you know how we get ready to tackle our day.  How do you get ready each day?

On this bonus episode, we discuss fake grass.  The good, the bad, and the evolution of this evergreen ground cover.  

At the request of our faithful listener Mike, we discuss the custom of tipping those in the service industry.  We take a stab at understanding why we give gratuities to those that give us good service.  It's more than just showing appreciation...
