The Fribrary Podcast

We’re all growns up! For this milestone achievement, we take it all off and step into a Hot Tub Time Machine for Christmas (a Hallmark original). After that we share songs that sing to us about us. There’s even a Vegas story. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

No episodes of Tim Allen’s “Home Improvement” made our list, but we kinda had a do-it-yourself version at the end. We really needed to edit this one in post more than we did. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

Unfortunately, our batteries died before we could conclude this pod, but that was apt as we were discussing ironic endings at the time. Enjoy the time you get. You never know how long you have. Referenced homework is here.

Sure, we’re a little late in getting this out. Much like Steve’s kitchen sink, we’ve been backed up. Irregardless, here it is for your enjoyment. Referenced homework is here. Enjoy!

We solved the asteroid problem. You’re welcome, Earth. Along the way we hear a nightmare story (trigger warning: it involves electronic device frustration). Then we renamed some bodies of water–regular Tuesday stuff all done on a Saturday night. Referenced homework is here. Enjoy!

After a very long and surprisingly recurring conversation about feet on Only Fans and a classic retelling of The Frosty Story, which was three Fribrarians’ first encounter with the timeless tale, we settled inside from the rain to hand out accolades and awards. There were (minor) grievances aired and an epic feat of strength. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

Alternative titles: French Toad It’s a female dentist and a male stripper. We solved some problems and perhaps created new ones. Check out the latest (delayed) Fribrary. Referenced homework is here.

We sat down to learn more about Lauren. She didn’t disappoint. Listen to get to know her better.

We turned the tables on our favorite counselor making her take our examination. Did she pass? You’ll have to listen to see for yourself. Enjoy!

We hashed it out bringing controversial statements into focus only to find that we were right all along. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Perfect for a podcast at The Library. Lucky for us on this St. Patrick’s Day Eva was available to sit down to talk. She let us know what makes her tick and how someone in their extremely early twenties views life. Enjoy!

We came, we discussed, we conquered the concept of aliens and UFOs. Well, the only thing we really settled is that aliens don’t use 3.5 floppy disks. But settle that we did! We even had a chance to dabble into AI. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

Festivus was again a raging success. We came, we drank, we reviewed one another (sometimes kindly, sometimes brutally) . . . we even spilled a drink. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

Back together for one last session before prison school starts, the group discussed what is wrong with movies. Why don’t they make them like they used to? Perhaps it is a good thing or we just aren’t appreciating what we’ve got. Alternatively, not all changes are good. Why is everything a CGI-filled sequel or remake? It is telling that we find ourselves in agreement that the superhero domination has been overplayed given that we tend to be strong to very strong fans of the genre. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

David is a man of strong positions but with a gentle disposition. He opened up to reveal what motivates him and what goals he has set for himself. We learned a lot as will you as you get to know David. Enjoy!

Back together after awhile apart, the gang talked about Josh & Angie’s upcoming move to Norman, what might await them in their new house, how Steve completely failed picking jams, and a not-so-quick catchup on Kevin’s dating scene. Enjoy! Referenced homework is here.

On this a very special episode of The Fribrary podcast, we turn our attention to Josh. In this in-depth conversation we will learn Josh’s motivations, regrets, personal evaluations, future goals, and so much more. We learn that he doesn’t want for much and actually is fighting contentment as he balances all the interesting things in this world vying for his attention. Enoy! Oh, and we got this:

School is back as you can tell by the noise, but it is great to see The Library packed. These kids might be getting in some last celebrations of summer before hitting the books; that won’t stop us from diving right into some homework. We cover the Top Gun: Maverick alternative take, discuss some other movies that might be better explained similarly, and then get a full dose of Kevin enraged! Enjoy!

Here is the first of a new series of more intimate conversations with a smaller group. We are calling them Interludes until something better comes along. These are designed to be around a singular topic with no associated homework assignment. In this episode we get to know the OG Fribrarian himself, Kevin. We cover a range of questions in this interview. Namely, What to you are/should be the seven deadly sins?What are your low-brow guilty pleasures? How ashamed of these are you? Does everyone agree these are low brow?What are your major goals to strive for over the next few years?What would be the ideal amount to win in the lottery or inherit from an unknown relative? How would it change your life—good and bad?What would the 10-year old version of you think if they met you today? Enjoy!

This AYA episode was filled with surprise answers. The questions covered were the following: What are your blind spots (intellectual, emotional, spiritual, etc.)? What are mine and other Fribrarians?Kevin, it turns out you have a terminal disease. You have 10 days to live. Also, you have a large financial debt you previously were unaware of. The good news is you will be completely symptom-free before suddenly dropping dead. I have a proposition for you for your last days. Would you rather have an all expenses-paid trip to Vegas (up to $10,000) and I can give you a pill that can cause you to forget knowing the disease diagnosis or would you rather me pay off the debt?If you were given the equivalent of having $10 million today in Oklahoma, what foreign country would you choose to spend the rest of your life in?What is the probability that intelligent, extraterrestrial life exists currently in our galaxy outside of earth? What is the probability that intelligent, extraterrestrial life has visited earth at any point?How many phases have there been in your life–distinctive periods that are meaningfully different than each other in total even if the transition between them was quite blurry?What is the least amount of money that if you lost it, you’d still feel sick about it a week later? Is this amount higher or lower than you’d like it to be?Kevin, the war in Afghanistan has finally ended. Having served there in active combat, what are your thoughts?Josh, Han shot first—what is your view?Lucas, what is the best Pearl Jam lyric?Kevin, when did boxing peak? Will it ever be as good again?Which are there more: wheels or doors? What counts? What does not?Close your eyes. Image for a moment a terrible event: a very small asteroid plummets to Earth striking this bar. All people within 100 yards are killed except for one. Raise your hand if you image yourself as the survivor. Potential titles included: If you’re ABLE commission, you have to tell me.You only live 10 days.I like America. The referenced homework is here.
