For May, we dive roll our way into the masterful filmography of Jackie Chan with his 1995 hit movie: Rumble in the Bronx! How did a guy who was just visiting the states for the first time end up going undercover for the F.B.I. on his third day in NYC? Why do all of the street gangs drive dirt bikes and go-karts? Why were they allowed to drive a hovercraft on a golf course as part of a police raid?! Tune in this week, as Kyle and Robert do their best these and so many other random questions.

This week, Robert and Kyle finish up the series on things that Great Dads try to do every day.

For our March movie, we are continuing the bonkers 80s movie theme with the iconic 1983 slasher, Sleepaway Camp! Starring Felissa Rose as Angela, this movie puts the 'camp' in campy. Summer camps were all the rage back in the 70s and 80s, but could you ever imagine dropping your kid off for a month at a place like this? From foul-mouthed 4th graders and skeevy counselors to an all-time twist ending (If you know, you know...), tune in to join Kyle and Robert for all the fantastically terrible fatalities of Sleepaway Camp!  E-mail us at ⁠[email protected]⁠ with suggestions!

For our February movie, Kyle and Robert are breaking down the absurd 80s Sci-Fi movie: Hell Comes to Frogtown! Starring professional wrestler and amateur Frog seducer Rowdy Roddy Piper, the premise of this movie is bonkers. After a nuclear war, main character Sam Hell is on a government mission to save fertile women from evil frogs and repopulate the country. Tune in to find out if Rowdy Roddy 'pipes' his way through the wasteland for Freedom.

Join Kyle and Robert as they discuss Part 2 of all of the shenanigans that 90s kids deemed perfectly normal. Do you remember turning the trampoline into an Olympic sport, purple nurples, prank calls, and wild clothing trends of the 90s? As parents, the guys would never let their kids get up to this nonsense. As Robert says, "Do as I say, not as I did...". Trust us kids, it's for your own good!

This week, Robert and Kyle recap childhood in the 80s and 90s. We're betting that most Millennials and Gen Xers will remember the socially acceptable parenting practices of sending your kid to the store to buy cigarettes, keeping the kids outside till the streetlights came on, and forgoing any kind of vehicular safety on long road trips. Join the guys as they reminisce about the whacky stuff grown-ups did 'back in the day'. To quote the great Bobby Boucher: 'Momma...my Momma...Momma says you should listen to the episode." Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg== Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the feelings of guilt that parents get about how much time they are able to spend with their children. When life, work, school, chores, and a million other obligations get in the way, how do we ensure there is enough time left on the schedule for our families and ourselves? Is it selfish to spend time on adult-only activities with your spouse, your friends, or by yourself? Does your children's age play a role in the amount of time they need from you as their independence grows? Tune in this week to hear the guys discuss these questions and more.

The guys are kicking off the New Year with an 80s bombshell! Join Robert and Kyle as they breakdown the hilariously absurd action movie: Hard Ticket to Hawaii! Filled to the brim with all the Knocker Clockin', snake exploding, lethal frisbee throwing insanity that you could possibly ask for in a breezy 90mins. This may be a strong contender for best movie review of 2026 and we've only just started!

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the difference between quitting too soon vs. burn out. How do we encourage our kids to work through challenges while being careful not to force them into activities that they grow to hate/resent? As parents, we think it's important to help our children build skills like resilience and self-confidence by tackling difficult things. But how do we properly moderate and find that balance while avoiding burnout for ourselves and our kids? Also, did Robert Rick Roll Kyle and everyone else...?

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss having vicarious joy for others. There is no need to treat Success as a limited resource; happiness is not zero sum. We should find joy in others' success and look to them for inspiration that can help us in our lives. Shifting from a comparison mindset to an inspiration mindset will do wonders for your friendships. As always, thank you for listening!As always, feel free to reach out to us at ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠.

This week, Robert takes us through his recent knee surgery (Happy 40th Birthday) and hobbling around for his holiday break. Kyle gets the *perfect* stocking stuffer (one day early) but he'll have to wait till next year for a new batch of underwear (size: average). Join the guys as they recap crazy family festivities and give a list of their favorite Christmas movies.

Kyle and Robert explore the idea of learning styles—personal preferences for how people take in information, such as visual,auditory, or hands-on—and the many models that attempt to categorize them. While these frameworks are popular, the guys discuss major criticisms, including how difficult learning styles are to measure and the lack of strong evidence that people actually learn better when instruction is matched to apreferred style. Research suggests that most of us are naturally multi-sensory learners and that focusing too narrowly on one style may even be limiting. The key takeaway is that effective learning comes from using multiple methods,spacing practice over time, matching the teaching approach to the material itself, and reinforcing understanding by teaching others. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Just in time for the holiday season, the guys are breakingdown the hilariously whacky 1964 classic: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! Joining the hosts this week is our resident shark expert and holiday movie enthusiast friend Chris! The group doesn't shy away from the hard questionssuch as: Which is the scarier villain to encounter in a snowstorm: A Devious Martian, a Polar Bear with Rabies, or Torg the Evil Robot? Can Santa bring holiday cheer to the poor Martian children? And what the heck is the deal withDropo the Martian? Join Robert, Kyle, and Chris for some holiday cheer and some cinematic nonsense!

It was a whirlwind week as Kyle recaps his trip to Disney onan adults only anniversary celebration! Rollercoasters, freezing outdoor shows, beers from around the world, inexperienced coffee indigestion, and a broken phone round out an awesome trip! Next, Robert plays host as the guys breakdown their Thanksgiving traditions, including offering a few hot takes on food staples (ham or turkey? 2nds vs dessert?).

This month's first of two movie episodes is jam packed withNinjas, Motorcycles, and Rock concerts! Join Robert and Kyle as they breakdown the absurdly fun 1987 cult classic: Miami Connection. Follow along as the guys try their best to find answers to several goofy questions including: Why does 95%of this movie take place in Orlando? Is Florida absolutely riddled with Ninja gangs?

They can help you articulate your goals, develop a plan, revise or pivot when necessary, and provide regular check-ins on progress.

Part Two of our Advice episodes is finally here! This week, Kyle and Robert discussed how to give advice. First things first, make sure you know what you are talking about! Don't use your friends as guinea pigs to test your random half-assed theories. Don't be afraid to ask the person if they are truly looking for advice, or just validation/acceptance/sympathy/encouragement.Finally, frame your advice in terms of how you would put it into practice, rather than issuing commands.

This week, Robert and Kyle give their thoughts on how to askfor advice. First make sure that you actually want advice, rather than encouragement or sympathy. Be specific with your requests, open-minded, goal-oriented, and respectful of the other person's time. Asking for advice is only half the battle, listening, reflecting, and putting the advice into actionis the tricky part. Take it from us, advice is just empty calories until you act on it.

This week, Robert and Kyle offer some recommendations for how to ask for help. The guys look back on what Benjamin Franklin can teach us about getting to know your neighbors and how to endear yourself to others. They also discuss the stigma surrounding admitting when you need help. As so much of our self-image is tied up in our ability to do things on our own, asking for help can be difficult. Remember, asking for help isn't the admission of a weakness, it can be turned into a strength when done properly.

This week, the guys are gettin' swole! Well, maybe not somuch...but Kyle and Robert do discuss some of the ways that they both stay motivated with their exercise and nutrition goals. Joining the guys in this discussion is Kyle's brother Morgan who offers his personal perspective onhealth, wellness, nutrition, and work-life balance. Some meaningful tips offered are the importance of prioritizing care, managing stress in your personal and professional life, building good habits, and taking small doable stepswith your workouts (progressive overload) and nutrition (no crash diets!). The guys make time for some funny workout stories, including creatine-induced intestinal troubles, praying for a port-o-potty during long runs, and teachingkids a valuable lesson about safety in the weight room. Grab your headphones, queue up your favorite episode of Deep Hopics, throw a scoop of protein powderin your light beer (don't actually do this), and let's hit the Gym!

We have a very special movie review for the month ofSeptember! The guys are breaking down the Arnold Schwarzenegger 80's action-packed classic: The Running Man! Set in the dystopian future of 2017 (lol...), Ben Richards, our wrongly convicted hero, is sentenced to a game showwhere he will have to run for his life from the deadly stalkers on his trail. Join Kyle and Robert as they ask all of the important questions: How did they make a personalized suit for Arnold so quickly? What constitutes proper chainsawetiquette while riding a motorcycle? Is Dynamo and his Lite Brite suit the lamest villain of all time? In honor of Stephen King's birthday, the guys also do a quick recap of the 1982 book that the movie is based on. Tune in and find out the differences between the book and movie adaptation.

Kyle and Robert are ready for the 2025 NFL season to begin!But this got them thinking...is the NFL our society's version of the ancient Roman Gladiator battles? This launched the guys into a much deeper topic: How do we view our past actions and how do we think our future selves will judgeour actions of today? Kyle and Robert both cringe over the things they did and said as teenagers, but what will the 2050 elderly versions of the guys think about them now? Let's be honest, our elderly selves are probably hanging theirheads in shame too! Look, it's never too late to think about changing your behavior in the present, because 'now' is the only time you have to make a difference. Also, please stay tuned to the books and movies segment, aswe discuss next week's Deep Hopic Movie Pick for September 2025!

After a quick recap of the weekend at the Cotton Candy Festival, hosts Kyle and Robert dive into the complex topic ofseparating the art from the artist, questioning whether art can be appreciated independently of its creator. They discuss how ethics and morality evolve over time (you probably wouldn't want to hang out with Thomas Jefferson in the 21stCentury). The guys emphasize the importance of holding artists accountable for their actions and the harm they may cause. At the same time, they discuss the value of incentivizing sincere apologies and offering a path back to social acceptance for those genuinely working to improve. This is easier for Kyle, as all the books he reads are covered in dust and centuries old. However, Robert is considering what to do about his Spotify playlist and new shows he's watching. Ultimately, everyone will likely draw their own boundaries when consuming art created by flawed individuals, and it's up to you to decide your level of support and forgiveness.

This week, Robert and Kyle are reliving their glory days while reminiscing about the wacky and wonderful nostalgia of the '90s and early 2000s. Does anyone else remember having to take their stereo out of the car? Or playing multiplayer video games in person before online gaming? And don't get us started on the nearly inedible school lunches that forced this pair of truants to buy ice cream from the grocery store during 5th period (j/k mom). Tune in and scream some infidelities alongside us as we discuss the power of nostalgia and how we hope to build these types of moments and memories forour children.

For August's movie breakdown, the guys are tackling an early 2000s classic: Read To Rumble! Friend of the podcast and wrestling expert Markel (from the Wrestling the Ring podcast) joins Kyle and Robert to relive the heyday and nostalgia of all the WCW legends. David Arquette, Scott Caan, Oliver Platt, and Rose McGowan go toe to toe with a litany of wrestling all-stars to salvage a washed-up loser's career. Did this movie spell the end of WCW? Is a punch to the crotch an acceptable move in professional wrestling? Find out the answers as the guys wax poetic about seeing all of their childhood favorite wrestlers, including: Sting, Randy Savage, Goldberg, Diamond Dallas Page, Booker T, Rey Mysterio, and many more!Join us on Facebook! ⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg⁠ For comments, email: [email protected] us on!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg== Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Youtube:www.youtube.com/@DeepHopicsPodcast

This week, the guy's finish their summer recap with some birthday highlights, Slip N Slides, and a story about golfing involving Vaseline? From there, Kyle spends his first day at Middle School in over 25yrsfor his daughter's orientation. The hosts discuss the bewildering number of Apps that parents must constantly watch to get updates for their kids at school. Did you know there is a different app for grades, for homework, for lunch menus, for lunch money balance, for school announcements, for sports, for dance, etc.?! Back in the 90s, did Robert sign his own permission slip as "Robert's Mom"?

This week, the guys catch up after a week off from podcasting. Kyle recaps his 15th anniversary trip with his wife and covers all of his favorite and least favorite things (books, beers, fire alarms, and missing cocktail cherries)! Robert reminisces about the good ol' days when $5 and a lifeguard counted as a viable babysitting plan during his childhood summers. The guys discuss family outings to Theme Parks and Zoos and how being a dad changes your workout goals from 'Fitness Magazine Cover Model' to 'Hopefully I can fit into a rollercoaster seat with my kid...!"

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss the concept of 'Hustle Culture'. Is this a uniquely American phenomenon? Does 'work ethic' mean something different across the different generations (Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z)? The hosts also discuss a variety of traps and pitfalls with adopting the 'grindset'. Beware of the Hustle Influencers... cold plunges and 20-hour workdays are unlikely to turn you into an overnight success. Be careful not to tie your self-worth to work output or your salary.

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss Work-Life Balance. How to leave work at the office and making the most of your personal time. You want your family to love the person who comes home each night, which means not letting work stress bleed into home life. The hosts talk about juggling crazy daycare and school schedules while trying to work and be present and engaged during family time. How to avoid unproductive personal time (doom scrolling, mindless apps, and time wasters) and embrace boredom to give yourself time to be creative. And yet again, Robert somehow tricks Kyle into Karaoke...We hope you enjoy!Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg==Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2OmgTiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube:www.youtube.com/@DeepHopicsPodcast

For July's movie breakdown, the guys are ready for Shark Week! A special guest joins Kyle and Robert to break down the fin-tastic creature feature, Sharknado! Starring Ian Zeiring, Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo, and John Heard, this 2013 made-for-television Syfy channel release created a wave of preposterous monster and natural disaster spin-off movies (a few of which will undoubtedly be covered in future episodes). The guys did their homework this month (Semper Paratus...obviously)! Could a tornado really spew sharks miles inland? What is a smush-job? Could an improvised road flare and propane tank explosion really take down a sharknado? Is Mt. Dew Baja Blast really the official drink of SoCal Surfers?

Join the hosts for Part 3 of our Personality Series. Ever hear someone refer to themselves as an ENTJ or ISFP personality type and wonder what they are talking about? If so, then this episode is for you! These 4-letter labels (ENTP, ISFJ, etc) are called  Meyers-Briggs Type Indicators, and they were popularized in a test of the same name. Kyle and Robert take the Myers-Briggs test and discuss the results. Is this just a fancy version of the Harry Potter House quiz? Or worse, is it just astrology disguised as something more scientific?

This week, the guys recap their laid-back Father's Day and shout-out their wives for the awesome matching Deep Hopics Pint Glasses! For the main segment, Kyle and Robert dive into the first of a multi-part series on personalities. Based on the book 'Quiet' by Susan Cain, the hosts answer 20 questions to determine whether they are more Introverted or Extroverted. Are either of them the type of person who thrives in social situations or do they prefer their solitude? Would they be described as "soft spoken" (spoiler...uhh...no!).
