Welcome back to Fellowship!

In this episode, we're answering our first listener question with a story many of you have been curious about. Matt finally shares the full story of the HOG Chapter. An experience he's mentioned in past episodes but never told in full until now.

Together, our Brosts Matt and Andrew explore what the group was, what led to the fallout, and what can be learned from it. This episode goes beyond just recounting events. It's a thoughtful look at ego, community, leadership, and how even the hardest moments can offer valuable lessons.

Welcome back to fellowship!

In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, your brosts sit down with Worshipful Brothers Jan Talaga and Blaine Goldner to explore a truly inspiring tale of brotherly love. From the festive board to the operating table, Jan and Blaine recount the incredible journey of how a kidney donation turned their fraternal bond into a literal lifesaving act by giving Blaine a little piece of Jan.

Prepare for hearty laughs, a few misty eyes, and some real insight into what it really means when we call each other “Brother.”

So push those belly buttons back in, skip the doctor, IT'S FINE and settle in—because it’s time for fellowship.

Welcome back to fellowship! Time to crawl outta the cave, folks! 

Your Brosts Matt and Andrew are back, and this week we’re talkin’ Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, and why it hits harder than your fifth helping of pancakes at a lodge brekky.

We’re breaking down how this ancient philosophical banger mirrors the Masonic journey toward light, what it means to be a seeker of truth in a world full of shadows, and how Freemasonry calls us to rise above illusion, comfort, and conspiracy theory TikToks.

Whether you’re a Master Mason, a curious profane, or just someone wondering why we keep ranting about light like it’s a lifestyle brand, this one’s for you.

Hit play, rate the show, and share it with someone who might still be staring at shadows on the wall. We’ll be over here with our symbolic flashlights and an unnecessarily intense expression.

P.S. Love you guy

P.P.S. Unless you are a shadow person then get!

Welcome back to fellowship!

This week, your favorite brosts are joined by Worshipful Brother Gary Beier, 33° — a Mason who’s done just about everything in the Craft except lay the cornerstone at Stonehenge (and honestly, we wouldn’t put it past him).

We sit down with Gary to talk about the real meaning of Masonic charity, what the Scottish Rite is all about, and his nearly 30 years of work with the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation. From supporting communities to spreading light across Wisconsin, Gary’s been at the heart of it all.

It’s an episode packed with laughs, wisdom, and a whole lot of Masonic goodness.

Welcome back to fellowship! 

In this episode, the Brosts dive into why you should create a lodge you are proud of.  A great lodge isn’t built overnight, it’s shaped by brethren who care, who show up, and who put in the work to make it a place worth bragging about. 

With plenty of laughs and a few nuggets of Masonic wisdom, they’ll challenge you to step up, get involved, and help build a lodge that future generations will be proud to call their own. 

 So grab that overpriced custom apron you bought, start wondering if it shrunk (even though we both know it hasn’t), grab a slightly concerned Past Master, and get your butt to a lodge you are proud of—because it is time for fellowship!
