- 285 - Ep. 285: Evening Out Work/Life Efforts
This week, the guys talk about how to even out effort at work. When work takes 100% (or more) of your effort, it can leave you drained and with less time/energy/etc. to put into what really matters: life! So, why does work take so much effort? Would it be better for both workers and companies to ask for less effort and/or find better ways to balance the effort? And how would that fix come about if it's even a possibility? Listen in to find out if they have all the answers, or if they at least have some good thoughts. And as always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits.

After sorting all that out, Josh and Evan kick around some ideas about why things are the way they are and what could be done to make things better, if there even needs to be a better. Whatever they come up with, hopefully it gets pieced together like this episode's audio issues... And as always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits!

Or at least that's one way to think of these episodes, especially after Evan has been noticing more and more remakes, reboots, and sequels of movies.

Find out if his class-action and sports betting payouts are as huge as he hoped, or if he's still got a way to go. With Josh officially on the move, the guys also talk about how to factor the jobs, preferences, and more of significant others into career/living decisions. With some interesting Fact of the Week tidbits about long-distance couples, and more, it's obvious that a lot of factors influence joint decisions like these. Be sure to stay tuned for both parts of the Life is Punny segment and some fun talk about child-like joy that Evan was lucky enough to get from an unexpected gift.
Thu, 26 Jan 2023 - 1h 01min - 203 - Ep. 203: Daydreaming About Dream Homes
This week, the guys discuss their dream living spaces/situations/homes. The conversation is spurred by the possibility of Josh moving sooner than expected, so it's fun to think about what an ideal living situation might be. Does it include a room full of mirrors for self reflection, or a decked out man-cave complete with pinball, pool, and more? Or are Josh's and Evan's tastes much simpler? Spoiler alert, it might be a mix of both. As always, there's a Fact of the Week tidbit sprinkled in and the return of the "Life is Punny" weekly bit, BUT this week the guys totally forgot to mention any "sticking it to the man" examples, so they hope you did your due diligence for them!
Thu, 19 Jan 2023 - 1h 01min - 202 - Ep. 202: One Week & One Year Older
This week, the guys are one year older! Despite both Josh and Evan celebrating a birthday since the previous podcast, neither guy has much exciting news related to being officially old. Their discussions revolve around birthday wishes and their thoughts and feelings about getting and giving them. Evan had a funny story or two to share about birthday wishes that did and didn't pan out in a couple ways, and neither guy is up in arms about 'happy birthday' messages; unless they're from their significant others, of course! Be sure to listen in for some fun tidbits about the interesting exact time Evan was born, a depressing Fact of the Week, and some lackluster birthday "sticking it to the man" opportunities.
Fri, 13 Jan 2023 - 1h 01min - 201 - Ep. 201: Cats Get Diabetes Too
This week, the guys try to avoid a letdown after Ep. 200 by starting 2023 off on the right note. The guys start by spending some time sharing their thoughts on what an ideal New Year's celebration looks like and what they did this year to celebrate. Josh thinks that next New Year should have some changes, and Evan has an idea about how to help. The guys also dive into the world of pets after an expensive vet bill, and the conversation goes into the difficult realities of pet owners before taking a hilarious turn. It turns out that Evan's new four-legged roommate shares lots of similarities with his old one, and Josh finds it all quite funny. As always, there are some "sticking it to the man" and Fact of the Week tidbits sprinkled in. Be sure to listen to the end to get the jump on the newest Life Is Funny product offering!
Thu, 05 Jan 2023 - 1h 01min - 200 - Ep. 200: 200
This week, the guys hit a MAJOR milestone! Josh and Evan finally record their 200th episode, and they examine the road it took to get here. Part of that road includes some Christmas recap, including Evan's worst Christmas ever! However, the bad time gave him time to listen to old episodes, pull out fun nuggets, and crunch the numbers behind the 200 podcasts. Through it all, just like through the first 200 episodes, there is a lot of fun to be had and laughs to be shared. The guys also examine some 'Wrapped' stats for the podcast, share some fun data about you, the listener, and play some Q&A in a newlywed game style. Stay tuned for some "sticking it to the man" content at the end, and listen for Josh sprinkling some 200-based Fact of the Week tidbits throughout. Thank YOU for being part of 200!

This week, the guys unveil their long-awaited annual recaps of the best content they consumed this year. After getting into some mid-year reviews over the summer, this discussion focuses on the best things Josh and Evan watched, read, consumed, etc. to close out 2022. Was Evan's year a complete dud? Did Josh only like movies that other people hated? Are things going to be better in 2023? Listen in to hear what things the guys liked so you know what to add to your list in 2023. As always, there are some fun "sticking it to the man" and Fact of the Week tidbits, so listen in as 2022 comes to a close!
Sat, 24 Dec 2022 - 1h 08min - 198 - Ep. 198: Can You Listen to Kanye?
This week, the guys talk about whether listening to music made by Kanye West is still socially acceptable, or if it's time to move on. Neither Josh nor Evan like Kanye or his music, but it's an interesting discussion about whether it's okay to like someone's music/art/whatever if they're a bad person or do/say bad things. The whole conversation stemmed from Evan hearing Kanye music at work and bring it up, and it evolves into thoughts about separating musicians, athletes, and more from their actions. There is also some talk about whether Evan's Christmas spirit is cancelled, or if it's just getting revved up! As always, there are some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and some fun recaps/general talks.
Fri, 16 Dec 2022 - 1h 04min - 197 - Ep. 197: Evan is the Grinch
This week, the guys talk about the Christmas spirit, but only one of them is really feeling it! It doesn't take long for Josh to find out that Evan might be the Grinch reincarnate, or at least just someone who isn't taking fully embracing the early onset of the holiday season. Is Evan really just a big ol' Krampus who hates Christmas movies, music, and more? Probably not, but some people might think so! There is also some talk about road trip etiquette and how phones have changed the way people experience car rides. As always, there are some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits for your listening pleasure!
Mon, 12 Dec 2022 - 51min - 196 - Ep. 196: Holiday Shuffle
This week, the guys recap after a busy Thanksgiving week/weekend. Evan zipped around and stayed in multiple beds in multiple cities while trying to rekindle his college fire. Meanwhile, Josh navigated family expectations and needing to make multiple appearances, leading the guys to talk about how the holidays should look when it comes to people going places. While there's no great answer, the guys are willing to solve your problems and make your holiday travel decisions! There's also plenty of talk about ol' Bloomington, Indiana, and whether it missed Evan as much as he missed it, and some other fun stuff to boot. There are multiple "sticking it to the man" examples, and a Fact of the Week to chug down that is a total riot.
Fri, 02 Dec 2022 - 59min - 195 - Ep. 195: We Have the EEEF!
This week, the guys, or at least Evan, revel in the light at the end of a very long work tunnel. After three straight 12-hour days while being sick and alone, Evan is thrilled to talk with his good buddy Josh about anything and everything! The guys try not to 'F' up the pronunciation of 'Ephs' after a certain cow mascot ended Kenyon's season in the Elite Eight. There is also some pretty important talk about an electric vest that may or may not explode pretty easily, so Evan could be in danger! The guys also toss out some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits and just have a grand ol' time in a classic podcast.
Tue, 29 Nov 2022 - 1h 01min - 194 - Ep. 194: When in Rome...
This week, the guys have a lot of catching up to do because Josh was in Italy last week! Obviously there are plenty of cool things for him to share with Evan, including bomber birds, rare meats, Colosseum complications, and more! Evan also has a thing or two of note, including some NCAA Tournament fun, committing voter fraud, and fantasy football fun. When talking about Italy, the guys also talk about whether they are annoying tourists, how coming back from a trip is like entering a whole new world, and more. As always, listen in for a Fact of the Week and hear how Evan was 'winging' in with a "sticking it to the man."
Fri, 18 Nov 2022 - 59min - 193 - Ep. 193: Somebody Call 911
This week, the guys meander through the podcast and touch on different stories and topics along the way. As Josh preps for a trip to Italy, the guys talk about traveling, flying, and layovers. Josh and Evan each found themselves without cars over the last week, so they talk about how much fun it is to have car work done. Spoiler, it's not that fun unless someone else is paying for it... The guys also talk about their experiences with emergency services as somebody had to call 911 this week. Was it to take care of a shawty burning on the dance floor, or something else? Tune in to find out! With possibly no podcast next week, there's a doubled-up Fact of the Week and solid "sticking it to the man" moment to tide you over.
Fri, 04 Nov 2022 - 56min - 192 - Ep. 192: Musical Inclinations
This week, the guys come back after a quick hiatus having both gotten their groove on at separate concerts. The fun musical excursions lead to a discussion about whether Josh and Evan are musically inclined, or whether they're a little on the tone deaf side. By Evan's math, he only goes to a concert every five years, so he's definitely wouldn't call himself a concert expert. Josh is on the same page, and the guys would prefer podcasts over most music choices. The guys also shoot the breeze about their last two weeks, drink up a nifty "sticking it to the man," and explore a cheesy Fact of the Week.
Thu, 27 Oct 2022 - 55min - 191 - Ep. 191: Diagnosing Irritable Boy Syndrome
This week, the guys take an introspective look at what makes them operate at less than peak capacity. Josh and Evan examine what they're good or bad at when it comes to self diagnosing their attitudes, and sometimes they are good at fooling themselves. The guys also talk about whether it's possible to point out negative behavioral influences or elements in others, or whether that's a can of worms that isn't worth it. The guys also recap their weeks, with some highlights including Johnny Appleseed impersonators, gloating whilst golfing, and more. As always, there are some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and some good times to be had!
Thu, 13 Oct 2022 - 58min - 190 - Ep. 190: Try New Things!
This week, the guys talk about whether they're set in their ways or whether they like to try new things. From their experiences, lots of people, sometimes older ones, seem to just pick places and they're comfortable with and stick with them over new, potentially better, things. However, the guys both like the idea of trying new things, whether it's traveling to different countries, eating new food, or 'pegging' new preferences... There are also some fun recap stories from the past week, including some disc golf getting and giving. As always, there are some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits included!
Thu, 06 Oct 2022 - 53min - 189 - Ep. 189: Fine Dining Dudes
This week, the guys kinda just shoot the breeze and get to talking about Josh's week, some snippets from Evan's weekend, and more. Evan drank some weird sexy horse beer that might've turned him into a "Brony," so tune in to make sure you don't make the same mistake. Josh got up to some fine(ish) dining and might've sat in the same chair and eaten with the same fork as Frank Sinatra. So it begs the question, are the guys into, or even cut out for, fine dining? And what the heck is a Michelin Star? Find out all these things and more while hearing a bit about the guys' favorite meals. And as always, listen in for some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits.
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 - 1h 02min - 188 - Ep. 188: Evan Got WRECKED
This week, the guys ramble on about life because life can be difficult. Both Josh and Evan wish they could go back to simpler times when J-Watch was the pinnacle of their problems. But now it's things like identity theft, insurance fraud, and car accidents to worry about! Evan is in an annoying situation that isn't his fault in the slightest, but c'est la vie... The guys also talk a little about how to spend free time after work, but spoiler alert, the answer is just adulting and watching stuff. There's also some talk about sustainability, Patagonia, and both a Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbit for your listening pleasure.
Thu, 22 Sep 2022 - 55min - 187 - Ep. 187: Drinking & Wedding Made Simple
This week, the guys dive into some random discussions that aren't all that earth-shattering. Firstly, Evan dives into a discussion about the difficulty of drinking. He's not a big drinker by any means, but maybe he'd have a better time with it if it wasn't so dang annoying to order alcohol. Who wants to drink straight vodka at a work event? And why can't every bar serve Electric Lemonade Long Island Iced Teas or yummy margaritas? Josh give his two cents while also talking about how his new freebie business idea is going. Spoiler alert, it's slim pickins out there... Josh and Evan also hatch a plan to buy a wedding venue and talk about the easiest way to plan a wedding. As always, there's a Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbit in here too!
Thu, 15 Sep 2022 - 53min - 186 - Ep. 186: Traumatic Tongue Troubles
This week, the guys dig deep into their memories and talk about childhood trauma. Both Josh and Evan are fortunate that their childhoods were less traumatic than others, but that doesn't mean they have some interesting formative experiences. Evan has been molded by getting no birthday presents, tangling with a troublesome tongue, and more. Meanwhile, Josh was molded by some school kids bashing his shoes and being stressed about being late, amongst other things. Overall, it's interesting to think about how childhood moments mold people, and it can be funny to laugh at other people's experiences. The guys also laugh about some shockingly fluid happenings, discuss doggy delicacies, and hit ya with a "sticking it to the man" and Fact of the Week tidbit.
