Between The States

Corporate buzzwords promise synergy, innovation, and strategic alignment, but do they communicate anything meaningful? Dan, Noel, and Jared break down the workplace jargon that makes meetings sound important while saying almost nothing.The guys explore a study on “corporate bullsh*t receptivity,” decode phrases like leverage, paradigm shift, low-hanging fruit, stakeholder engagement, and move the needle, and create painfully impressive corporate mission statements of their own. They also discuss fake productivity, doing more with less, cross-training your way out of a job, dishonest company culture, and why “we’re a family here” should probably be considered a warning.Along the way, the conversation drifts through AI hallucinations, questionable subscription scams, Father’s Day gifts, repeat shoulder surgery, uncomfortable drive-through encounters, talking animals, and the revolutionary new management strategy known as “human-centipeding the problem.”Topics include: corporate buzzwords, workplace culture, office jargon, corporate mission statements, bad management, AI hallucinations, employee burnout, productivity, business humor, and workplace comedy. Send us Fan MailSupport the showEpisodes available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestatesBlueSky:https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.socialReddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: [email protected] way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates

Summer is officially here, and the guys are celebrating by remembering when the season actually felt endless. Dan, Noel, and Jared look back on the freedom of the last day of school, disappearing on bikes until the streetlights came on, digging pointless holes, starting questionable fires, getting bikes stolen, and making the kinds of childhood decisions that somehow did not end in disaster.Then the debate moves to everything that makes summer great, uncomfortable, or potentially dangerous. Lake, ocean, or pool? Soft serve or hard ice cream? Waffle cone or the weird cardboard-looking one? The guys also discuss overcrowded water parks, suspicious pool water, irrational shark fears, jellyfish, leeches, freezing lakes, river tubing disasters, sharp rocks, water shoes, and why jumping into unfamiliar water is rarely a smart idea.Plus, Dan shares the story of nearly losing a shoe at the bottom of a river, Noel explains why everyone waits until the hottest day of the year to fix their air conditioning, and the group tries to determine whether humidity, heat, or stupidity is the real problem with summer.It is a nostalgic, chaotic, and completely unfiltered trip through summer vacations, childhood freedom, beaches, pools, ice cream, cookouts, and all the strange memories that come rushing back when school lets out.What was summer like when you were growing up? Were you a lake, ocean, or pool person?

Could the Earth actually be hollow, or is Hollow Earth one of the strangest conspiracy theories ever created?In this episode of Between the States, Dan, Noel, and Jared dive into the wild world of the Hollow Earth theory, from ancient myths about underground civilizations to Edmund Halley’s early scientific ideas, John Cleves Symmes Jr.’s “holes” at the poles, UFO conspiracies, secret Nazi bases, and the possibility of advanced beings living beneath our feet.Noel argues the pro-Hollow Earth side, Jared takes the scientific side against it, and Dan tries to keep the debate moving as the conversation spirals into gravity, volcanoes, underground lakes, ancient legends, magnetic anomalies, government cover-ups, the moon possibly being mined out of the Earth, and whether the planet is basically a giant 3D print with infill.Is Hollow Earth possible? Is science hiding something? Are there inner Earth people controlling our lives? Probably not, but that does not stop this debate from getting ridiculous fast.Listen as the guys debate one of the most bizarre conspiracy theories in history and decide for yourself: is the Earth hollow, or is the argument full of holes?Send us Fan MailSupport the showEpisodes available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestatesBlueSky:https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.socialReddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: [email protected] way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates

Merry Memorial Day from Between the States! This week, Dan, Noel, and Jared try to talk about the meaning and history of Memorial Day, but naturally get derailed by broken motorcycles, poison ivy, train track panic, Snap-on tools, mystery pizza delivery, Diet Purge Day, Memorial Day sales, poppies, cookout food debates, hot dogs vs. hamburgers, and whether “Merry Memorial Day” should ever be said out loud.It’s part Memorial Day trivia, part chaotic friend hangout, and part completely unnecessary argument about burgers, donuts, pizza routes, and the strange traditions people attach to long weekends.

Nancy joins the show as the group attempts to wrap their heads around two of the most confusing and talked-about topics today: artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Coming at it from the perspective of people who don’t claim to be experts, the conversation is full of honest questions, skepticism, and plenty of moments where things make less sense the more they’re explained. From wondering what AI actually can and can’t do, to trying to figure out why cryptocurrency exists at all, it’s a relatable, funny, and sometimes frustrating attempt to understand technologies that everyone talks about but few people truly understand. Just a heads up, the audio in the first 10 or so mins is a little less than perfect, someone forgot to turn on the recorder (Dan) and we had to use the back up. Send us Fan MailSupport the showEpisodes available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestatesBlueSky:https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.socialReddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: [email protected] way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates
