This week, things get HEAVY! Just a few weeks after talking about the dog days of spring in terms of things dragging on, the guys both have to discuss some dog days of the canine variety. Josh's day did NOT get off to a good start after a barking brawl that wasn't his fault, and Evan can totally relate as it's something he's worried about but never…

This week, the guys get to gabbin' about all sorts of silly stuff. For example, do you know the state drink or animal (and more!) is for your state? What about just for Ohio and Indiana? Well, get ready to learn the latter! The guys also talk about a day at the ballpark, some standup seeing, and Evan's eventful Easter. Did the Yankees make the game…

This week, the guys are getting deep. Well, about as deep as a basement goes, because they talk a surprising amount about basements! How do you build a basement? Can you add a basement after building? What costs more: a basement or an extra upper floor? Josh and Evan may not have all, or any, of the answers, but they're certainly gonna ask these qu…

This week, the guys are dragging a little bit as the dog days of spring seem to really be setting in. Both Josh and Evan had pretty uneventful weeks, and it doesn't look like too much will change in that department as spring goes on. Never fear though, because summer is around the corner! Or at least that's what they're holding on to to get them th…

This week, the guys talk about all kinds of stuff. Some of it is so good that they just HAD to talk about it twice! Or maybe that's just cuz they didn't get the audio from their first few minutes of talking. Yeah, probably that one... Either way, there's still plenty to talk about when it comes to sibling weddings (not THAT kind...), why worms do w…

This week, the guys talk about what superpowers they'd want to have. But not just the normal, boring superpowers like laser eyes, flight, an old hammer, etc. No, they're talking about real-life superpowers that people have like photographic memories and stuff! All of it's based on the movie "Novocaine" that Evan just went to see, and it got him thi…

This week, Evan might be having an existential crisis caused by an innocent comedy show. After watching an improv show that reminded him of his college days, Evan is thinking back to the good times and wondering how to make the 'now times' similar. Could life be so simple as just doing/watching comedy, taking photos, working (maybe at a zoo?), and …

This week, the guys are back, back [from] the New York groove! Well, Josh is back from the Big Apple, while Evan is hanging up his Florida Man moniker after a long work trip. Both guys have some fun things to catch up on after a week off from recording, including fun excursions, travel shenanigans, and more. Did Josh figure out a way to double an e…

This week, the guys take their time to talk ahead of a week away from the podcast for travel. While Evan has a work trip on deck, Josh is going to the Big Apple, where he hopes to show some rookies the ropes and eat some world-famous pizza. However, how will he handle feeding four people on a reservation for two? Who knows! The guys also talk about…

This week, the guys are on high alert because the END IS NIGH!!! In case you haven't heard, a "city killer" asteroid is hurdling straight toward Earth, and our days are numbered! Well, maybe it's just orbiting(?) like 30 million miles away and MIGHT hit Earth in seven years, but hey, a 1-3% chance of asteroid death in the near-ish future is still p…

This week, the guys have slightly less time than usual, but that doesn't mean they don't make the most of their time by talking about some fun stuff! From pricey puppies to a kind of existential crisis, both Josh and Evan have thoughts to share. After hearing about a VERY high-dollar dachshund, Evan tried to find out what price is too much to pay f…

This week, the guys get back to work after the highs of episode 300. Though 301 isn't quite the milestone number of a week prior, there's still plenty to talk about! For example, Evan recently attended a workplace "roast" and had to navigate the interesting social situation. Did he miss his chance to get in on the comedic action? Josh offers his th…

This week, the guys hit another MAJOR milestone! It took a week longer than expected, but episode 300 is here! The guys start off by comparing the podcast's reign to other historical events, and their longevity is pretty impressive (if we do say so ourselves). In what's become a tradition for these milestone *00th episodes, Evan crunched the number…

This week, the guys talk TikTok! With TikTok apparently on the clock and headed towards being shut down, the guys talk about what's going on, how it impacts them, and what it could mean on a bigger scale. Do they think TikTok will actually be banned? Is it all just a political stunt? Or is it all a precursor to unprecedented political power? Either…

This week, the guys are recording on a VERY big day! It's Evan's birthday!! While the guys record on his big day, Evan takes some time to pose some quandaries to Josh and the podcast. The dilemmas in question include an e-commerce issue revolving around an Amazon purchase of an iPhone, whether to open Pokémon card packs purchased for an amazing pri…

This week, the guys ring in the new year with some timely technological talk! The calendar has turned over to 2025 since Josh and Evan last talked, and Evan's life has already had a big-time impactful upgrade in the form of a shiny new iPhone 16 Pro Max. So, how does he feel after making a six-year technological leap? Was he prepared for such a big…

This week, the guys say sayonara to 2024 as they record the year's final episode. Both Josh and Evan are in their special holiday locations, but the guys still made sure to get one more episode in 2024. Between pre and post-Christmas happenings, there's plenty to discuss. Evan was part of a 95th birthday party and has an ear for AI Christmas music,…

This week, the guys review their best stuff from the second half of 2024! In keeping up an ever-evolving podcast tradition, both Josh and Evan have plenty of things to highlight from the past year and the past six months. Though they both have content to add in the form of movies, series, books, video games, podcasts, food, and more, the guys kinda…

This week, the guys are rapidly racing towards the end of 2024! With just a couple of podcasts remaining before the calendar flips over, it's the time of year when holiday parties are happening and free food is flowing. Find out what goodies Evan and Josh have been partaking in and how many more holiday helpings are on deck! The guys also talk a lo…

This week, the guys start wrapping up 2024 by reviewing their Wrapped stats! Evan has some interesting Spotify info, while Josh listens to his songs on Apple Music. So, what are the most interesting tidbits from each guy's stats? Is Evan a top 0.5% listener of someone special? Does Josh listen to more music than he thought? Find out how they stack …

This week, the guys are giving thanks ahead of Turkey Day! Though Josh and Evan are gearing up for the Thanksgiving festivities, they have had some noteworthy things happen since their last recording session. Josh hunted down a living, breathing Christmas tree, but he's got no way to water it. So, do I hear a "sticking it to the man" opportunity? O…

This week, the guys have plenty of fun, everyday experiences to talk through. Their topics range from putting too much trust into a tire salesman to getting tricked by a misleading hiking trail and more! Maybe the moral of the stories is to do a little research before putting your fate at the hands of someone/something else? But hey, what's the fun…

This week, the guys talk about how they're headed towards the holidays, and whether they are feeling the holiday spirit. Josh might be looking forward to Thanksgiving after a Friendsgiving, but Evan might be stuck thinking day by day during a busy season. Though the guys have talked a TON about the holidays over their years of podcasting, there are…

This week, the guys reminisce about regret after bringing up the topic last week. Josh made it seem like he has a LOT of regrets in life, so Evan, who is regret-free, wants to dig into that and see what's up. Fortunately, Josh won't have to regret another decision after committing to spend a bunch of money to join a golf cult. Or something like tha…

This week, the guys talk about Halloween since they're recording on the big day! Evan is in the middle of one of his biggest Halloweens in years, so it sparks the question of whether the guys get into All Hallows Eve. Though both Josh and Evan agree that it's not a major part of their lives, they both have fun memories and costumes to reminisce abo…

This week, the guys talk a lot about sports after Evan's sports-filled week. Not only did he play multiple sports, including trying out a new one, but he also went to see two incredible playoff baseball games. So, what percentage of his salary did the excursions set him back? And was it all worth it? The guys also talk about catching up with people…

This week, the guys talk about the past, which includes their past weekends, a time when nature was the norm, and running around the Renaissance. Evan took a trip back to the good old days by visiting the Ohio Renaissance Festival, and he was in the minority as a normally dressed guy. However, normal is different at the Ren Fair, just like how norm…

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 balanc…

This week, the guys have a heck of a time harping on about happiness. Are they in their peak happy years, or is unhappiness at its highest right about now? And how does today's generation stack up against its predecessors when it comes to happiness levels and timeframes? After sorting all that out, Josh and Evan kick around some ideas about why thi…

This week, the podcast is back to full strength! Josh and Evan are back to being a double act, and both guys have some things to talk about together. Josh obviously has some Scotland stories to spin after returning from vacation, including some skinny-road hi-jinx and intersection square-ups. On the other side, Evan has some Springfield, Ohio, upda…

This week, Evan is flying solo for the first time in a while! With Josh being MIA and life going on, he had to make sure to get a recording in, for his sake and yours. Fortunately for Evan, there are some very topical things to talk about! First and foremost, his hometown, Springfield, Ohio, has been in the news recently. That must be a good thing,…

This week, the guys are just trying to piece something together. After not recording for 2.5 weeks, and looking down the barrel of another three-week hiatus due to Josh's inability to record, the guys try to squeeze in a quick episode to keep the content coming. However, halfway into their 30-minute recording window, they realized none of the audio…

This week, the guys cover lots of bases across the course of an episode that took some work to schedule. In fact, Evan is recording from work in his office for the first time ever! As work, sports, and school get back up to full speed, the guys still have some catching up to do, including Josh's first bachelor party in a while. Will it be his last …

This week, the guys get technical by talking all about AI. Well, they at least talk a little about artificial intelligence, and hopefully they're at least a little knowledgeable about a thing or two. And who knows, maybe both Josh and Evan have already been replaced by AI after 279 episodes, so listen in to see if they pass the Turing Test! The guy…

This week, Evan has to get to the bottom of a possible foul ball fake out, courtesy of Josh. Based on some recent flaunting of a foul ball by multiple people, Evan isn't sure if a childhood dream finally came true for Josh, or if he just stole some clout at the ballpark. Listen in to learn how it all went down! The guys also talk about other aspect…

This week, the guys get back to business in more ways than one: firstly, after missing a week of recording, and secondly, as Evan's last day of summer before going back to work! There is plenty to catch up on as Evan and Josh got up to some fun things to close out July, including some Michigan trips, "camping," the county fair, and more. While Evan…

This week, the guys reminisce about old times after taking a trip down memory lane to the spot where they first met: Bloomington, Indiana! While back at the home of the Podcast, Josh and Evan ate lots of food and felt right at home back where it all started at Indiana University. Evan also went back to his childhood stomping grounds for a couple da…

This week, the guys talk about the delicious decisions that make up their eating habits. It sounds like both Josh and Evan have different ways of going about cooking and eating food in their households, so they try to make sense of how the other side does it. Who eats a new meal almost every night? Who loads up on leftovers? And do the guys have an…

This week, the guys unveil their long-awaited list of the best things they've watched/read/played/ate/etc. over the first six months of 2024. Josh and Evan have some great stuff to recommend, but what will the guys think of each other's picks? Are there any overlap picks that made both lists? How about some surprise entries and some interesting cat…

This week, the guys are getting back to a topic from last week after getting together over the weekend. Evan recently got something that has made life easier, so it led to a discussion about what things the guys, or people in general, can buy to make things a little better. That said, does easier always equal better? Maybe with things like doing di…

This week, the guys talk about things that make their life easier and things that make their life harder, or at least more embarrassing. Specifically, Evan made a purchase that has made his life better, but he also made an embarrassing blunder, the likes of which he's never done, that could haunt him forever. The guys don't get to dive into their t…

This week, the guys open up about clothes, specifically their clothing choices, preferences, and thoughts. According to Evan, Josh had a bit of a 'dad' look on their Zoom call, but Josh described his style as "Southern preppy," whatever that means. Listen in to hear how many times the guys re-wear clothes before they get too funky, how their day-to…

This week, the guys talk about planning things after some proposed plans have yet to be put in place. Evan has had a little trouble making plans recently, and one of those plans involves hanging with Josh. Fortunately, they're able to hash things out, and ultimately, planning is easier if you just go for it. The guys also talk about how friendship …

This week, for just the second time in the history of the LIF podcast, a voice other than Josh and Evan joins the airwaves. A very special guest starts the episode with a fun story about some camping shenanigans involving two long-time listeners, a compromising position, and a storm. The guys have a few thoughts on how they would've handled the sam…

This week, both Josh and Evan had some frustrations to deal with. Evan had to deal with some annoying insurance runaround while also enduring one of the worst movie-going experiences he can remember. Does a theater full of coughing people, noisy kids, and spilled drinks mixed with a mediocre movie add up to a good time? Maybe it's part of the reaso…

This week, Evan has some tales to tell! After notching some "worst ever" holidays over the last couple of years, his bad luck might have finally struck Mother's Day. Listen in to discover what cat and car-based madness might've messed up the day and how things are going. We bet you'll never guess what two unfortunate things Evan had in the trunk of…

This week, the guys make their 265th remake of the first episode of the podcast because their big-money producers won't let them veer off of the money-making formula. 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. Can original content break throug…

This week, the guys start off by talking about pickleball, a pastime taken up by both Josh and Evan, along with the rest of the world. Josh might be so into pickleball that he's considering becoming an official retailer, while Evan is pretty confident in his ability to hang with the best of them on the court. Along with their possible pickleball co…

This week, the guys talk a lot about buying things on eBay and Facebook Marketplace. The conversation stems some from purchases that Evan has been making, but Josh is joining in on the fun, too! What is it like to lose out on a bidding war at the last second? Is Mercari taking too much of your money? Will the guys ever sell anything on these platfo…

This week, the guys have a lot to talk about after a busy week off! The highlight and main reason of/for the break is that Josh got to check a significant thing off of his bucket list: attending the Masters. The guys talk through what the experience was like, including breaking down stats from their insane merch store, attendance/viewership numbers…
