Winches, Wisconsin, and Emptying the Glass
We’re back in the attic, eight years deep into a podcast that started as lunch-table bullshit and never had the decency to stop. First we settle the great Jeep debate: which upgrades are real and which are just driveway jewelry. Winches, rock rails, power steps, wraps, and the eternal one-touch...
-
[PoddiClassic] Skittery, Motion Sickness, and Cold Opens
In this classic episode, we set out to find a cheap hobby, which is adorable, because we’ve never met one. Beer? Cheap until you start caring about it. Wine? Same problem, worse vocabulary. That leaves general putzing, the only hobby with no gear, no membership fees, and no measurable results,...
-
Jeep Slumps, Service Silos, and Overpriced Electrolytes
We meant to cover four topics. We covered one. In our defense, it was Jeep’s fault. Jeep had an ugly third quarter: down 20% overall, the Compass down 62%, and the Wagoneer S moving a heroic 146 units. The Wrangler was the only model that grew, which we credit entirely to Jon walking into a...
-
Flying Cars, Router Restarts, and the Drunk Uncle
We sit down to talk about the future, which was supposed to come with flying cars and cities above the clouds. So far it has delivered a router that still needs to be unplugged and plugged back in. We argue over whether touch screens or good old buttons belong in a car, and wonder if anyone can...
-
Dogs, Decluttering, and The New Grand Tour
Nick sets up in the bonus room this week because upstairs was booked for Jen's training session. The room has dark blue walls, a TV from a previous administration, and a mini split that has quietly accepted a demotion to fan. Clyde and Bonnie take the opening, which is more effort than most…

[PoddiClassic] Idiot Proof Doctor Killers, YouTube Subscriptions, and Hotel Breakfasts
This week, Jon and Nick dust off a PoddiClassic and go deep on their favorite YouTube channels — and, more importantly, the unhinged characters who run them. It's a corn-shucking good time, if corn shucking involved two grown men arguing about internet personalities for an hour. Fair warning…

Dammed Rivers, Data Centers, and Synonym Rolls
Nick and Jon put on the hats Eric Nathan sent them, thank him profusely, and then announce they're doing a serious episode — a claim that survives roughly four minutes before somebody brings up synonym rolls. The actual topic is data centers: the giant humming buildings quietly running your…
more -
Hives, Horns, and "But I Bought It Used"
Nick and Jon return for a part two that was supposed to be short, mostly because dinner is downstairs getting cold and Nick has decided he doesn't care. What follows is a full-throated rant about people who park their cart in the dead center of the Costco aisle, which quickly becomes a debate…
more -
Hives, Horns, and "But I Bought It Used"
Nick asked an AI to find him a vodka comparable to Grey Goose. It came back with Smirnoff. Somewhere, a data center burned a small town's worth of electricity to tell a man to drink well liquor — which, as it turns out, gives him hives. Twice. Because once wasn't conclusive. From there: the…
more -
Cruise Ships, New Neighbors, and One Very Rough Wednesday
Jon's back from Alaska and has opinions. Virgin's Alaskan cruise delivered a jaw-dropping 360 in front of Dawes Glacier and a side-by-side off-road excursion that was actually better than the salmon cooking class it replaced — but also $85 for two screwdrivers in Seattle, lukewarm food at three...
-
Four Low, Five Year Missions, and Foggy Glasses
Jon's still on a boat, so Bill Taylor takes the Captain's chair — and brings a Ford Bronco and a lifetime of Star Trek with him. Bill walks through the Bronco Off Rodeo, the complimentary off-road training Ford throws in with every Bronco, which he went into swearing he'd never take his own truck...
-
[PoddiClassic] Chicago Dogs, Angry Bike Riders, and Airplane Bathrooms
This one's a certified PoddiClassic — episode 32, dug up from the vault back when we still pretended we could stay on topic. It took almost the entire episode to get there, but we finally landed on ax throwing, by way of Nick's family trip to Chicago and Jon casually admitting he used to hustle...
-
More AI, Website Design, and the Quantum Computing
We open by rediscovering that recording requires hitting the record button, a lesson that needs relearning every few episodes. From there we walk through the new site Nick built with Claude, including a same-day page for a record label client, and why prompting matters more than the AI itself. We...
-
Weather, Ramen, and Tattoos
We start with El Niño making Nashville weather about as predictable as our life choices, then somehow detour through Texas heat, barber shops, tattoos, piercings, and several meals we absolutely needed for research. Along the way, we chase ramen, pho, burgers, and local flavor while pretending…
more -
[PoddiClassic] Body Farm, General Hospital, and Nachos
So excited for this episode… again! The PoddiMouths have a VERY special guest, and they have so much fun talking about diving, travel stories, TV Stars, and so much more. Here's to Mr. Steven Justice, one of the first PoddiFans! Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=15325671) or Buy…
more -
YouTube, Bourbon, and the Dutton's
We explore how podcasting evolved from radio with microphones into television with worse lighting. Along the way, we discuss cigar rituals, train adventures, cruises, Yellowstone, Avatar, Tesla, Madonna, and whatever else wandered into the conversation. It’s an educational journey, assuming…
more -
Campgrounds, GrainBelt, Entitlement
We spent this episode bouncing between camping trips, national parks, lawn care battles, brewery adventures, and the strange ways humans manage to test everyone’s patience. Along the way, we swapped travel tips, debated outdoor strategies, chased down regional beers, and questioned why common...
-
Buffalo Trace, Confidence Boosts, Anesthesia
Nick recaps the family’s epic road trip from Nashville to St. Louis, up through South Dakota to Wall Drug, over to North Dakota to visit his dad, across Minnesota and Wisconsin to see family, and eventually back home. Along the way, we talk about the unexpected ways travel helps kids grow,...
-
[PoddiClassic] Bad Words, Sassy Sauce, and Dream Jobs
[Classic Episode, y'all!] This week the PoddiMouths talk about their dream jobs. Not just the ones they have, but ones they wished the might have done, or have had the opportunity to do them in the past. The best job mentioned was the acrobatic, horseback riding, painter! Support the show (...
-
Hand Surgery, Streaming, Nashville
This week we bounced from physical therapy and hand surgery recovery stories to classic cars, character actors, and the weird rabbit holes that old TV shows can send you down. Along the way, we somehow ended up talking about emergency preparedness, off-grid power solutions, pets, multiple...
-
[PoddiClassic] Dizzy, Cliff Faces, and Car Business Money Makers
This week we only go down three different rabbit holes, which lead us to other rabbit holes. We tried, y'all…. We tried. :-) Support the show ( https://www.patreon.com/user?u=15325671) or Buy Us A Coffee at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PoddiMouths Visit https://www.poddimouths.com to listen…

Bandages, Google, and Robbins
This week we talk about recovering from hand surgery, changing our diet, losing weight, and discovering that getting older mostly means constantly discussing health problems and kitchen ingredients nobody could pronounce ten years ago. We also spiral into smart home disasters, RV headaches, pop...
-
Bourbon, Butchers, and Costco
This week we finally let Eric on the podcast after what feels like a decade of relentless campaigning, guilt trips, and probably a few passive aggressive comments. We talk bourbon collections, Japanese whiskey experiments, Friday night pizza traditions, butcher shop nostalgia, and why Costco...
-
Midwest Migration, Bacon, Bipartisanship
Nick and Jon dive into politics, culture shifts, rising costs, Nashville’s identity crisis, and the slow collapse of normal human conversation. Between Midwest stories, old-school comedy, gas price complaints, and social media fatigue, the guys somehow stumble into a surprisingly thoughtful...
-
Session Secrets, Kindness Currency, Political Chaos
We dive headfirst into Nashville’s suspiciously overqualified “background” musicians and wonder why they’re not all famous already. Then we spiral into celebrity kindness, reputation management, and why being a decent human somehow still feels rare. Naturally, we wrap it up by poking the…
more -
Generations, Goats, Regrets
We spiral (as usual) from generational labels into why none of us should ever attempt DIY projects again, with Nick right there making it worse. Between Door County travel stories, goats on roofs, and a few questionable life choices, we almost sound insightful. There’s nostalgia, mild suffering,...
-
[PoddiClassic] Saturday School, It's Been Kubiked, and Black Outs
Sorry folks, we're almost back to a regular schedule! [PoddiClassic] We're back and better than ever. Well, sort of. Jon is still struggling with technology and spent half the episode in the dark. Not an unusual experience for Nick, though! HA! Enjoy this fun PoddiMouths Episode, and check back...
-
Lois, Badlands, and Poodles
This week, we bounce from a heartfelt tribute to Lois Hopkins into a gloriously unpredictable conversation about travel, dogs, camping gear, small-town charm, and the kind of hobbies that usually require extra storage space. Nick Kubik hangs out with us while we swap stories from Atlanta to North...
-
Rosé, Reciprocity, Sunburn
We start with sustainable wine, tasting notes, and the kind of everyday stories that make adulthood feel like an avoidable mistake. Then things take a turn into carry laws, reciprocity, training, and why common sense apparently needs a booster shot. It is equal parts happy hour, non-legal...
-
[PoddiClassic] Music, Horses, and Letting Sleeping Dogs Lie
We know, we know…. We've never done two classic's in a row. We promise we will be back next week! In the meantime, check out this classic episode: Short one this week, but worth the listen. Learn a little bit about how we communicate through music, Peyton's horse show, and much more! We also want...
-
[PoddiClassic] Smoking Old-fashioned, Oink Doink, and Truck Sideways
We’ve built an entire reputation on sticking the landing… so naturally this episode ends like we forgot how conversations work. It starts strong, goes sideways, and then just kind of… evaporates. Honestly, we’re as surprised as you are. ENJOY the chaos. Support the show (...
-
Claude, Keywords, Nostalgia
This week, we spiral through AI tools, SEO strategy, and the deeply human urge to obsess over both music gear and bad financial decisions on wheels. Nick and JQ break down which AI platforms do what, why curiosity still matters more than pretending to be an expert, and how somehow all roads lead...
-
Midlife Misery, Vintage Motors, Streaming Escapes
Apparently the statistical low point for men is 47–48, which is fantastic news for anyone already there and deeply comforting for everyone approaching it. We spiral through mental health, stress, and why surviving middle age sometimes requires hobbies, sarcasm, and possibly a vintage car project....
-
Bounce Rates, AI Prompting, and Digital Privacy
We sat down to casually solve analytics, artificial intelligence, and the impending robot takeover of retail. You know, light stuff. We spiral from bounce rates and pop-up rage into AI prompting wizardry, digital privacy paranoia, and how technology basically runs our personalities now. It’s part...
-
[PoddiClassic] Customer Trailers, Leftover Debates, and Vehicle Tech
Sure hope this doesn't offend anyone, but we couldn't get around to recording this past week, so you get a Classic! Great set of rabbit holes for you all this week. We are all about the food, camping, and houses in this PoddiMouths episode. Support the show (...
-
AI, Valentine’s Day, Investments
This week we bounce from motivational texts to calling people “fitting names” like it’s a personality trait, then immediately pivot to AI casually taking over content creation. We spiral through certifications, consumer behavior, Valentine’s Day at home vs. overpriced steak, and why rich people...
-
Generators, Coffee, Survival
We survived a Nashville ice storm, learned our infrastructure is held together by hope, and discovered winter camping gear works surprisingly well indoors. Power went out, pipes panicked, insurance got confusing for some, and somehow coffee still became the top priority. It’s a love letter to...
-
Mobile, Weather, and Authority
Before we get into it: sorry this episode is late. It was supposed to go up last week, but Nick spent most of that time without power, which turns out is not ideal for publishing podcasts. Thanks for your patience — and for not sending carrier pigeons. We get into the ongoing saga of Riverside —...
-
Pressure, Brothers, Kale
This week, we accidentally turned PoddiMiles into a health podcast after Nick scared himself (and everyone else) with blood pressure numbers, VID symptoms, and the realization that vegetables exist. Things quickly spiraled into childhood trauma-lite, Wisconsin sibling rivalries, and JQ unleashing...
-
Health, Nutrition, Laughs
We sit down to "bravely" discuss our health journeys, which mostly means talking about doctors, diets, and realizing our bodies did not read the same instruction manual we did. There’s family history, lifestyle guilt, mental health check-ins, and a whole lot of laughing through things we probably...
-
Holidays, Wallets, and Personal Stories
We survived the holidays with family visits, travel nightmares, and way too much cooking — so obviously we talked about all of it. Somewhere between pizza ovens, delayed flights, and weather ruining everything, we accidentally dropped marketing insights and consumer behavior truths. Then we…
more -
Glitches, Wellness, Fireplaces
We start strong with technical difficulties because of course we do, then immediately spiral into health, food, routines, and why weight management is basically a full-time side quest. There’s holiday nostalgia, coconut opinions nobody asked for, fireplace envy, and fitness plans that are...
-
Caffeinated Winter Wisdom, Dieting Trades, and Holiday Chaos Cook-Off
We spend an hour pretending our coffee routines make us interesting before immediately spiraling into winter misery and holiday family chaos. Then we pivot—gracefully, obviously—into diets, breathing problems, and the glamorous world of electrician life, where generators and data centers…
more -
Turkey, Tech, Chaos
We basically spent an hour proving we should never be trusted near microphones, ovens, or nature. Between AI bailing us out of our own podcasting disasters and us pretending we’re experts on turkey temperatures, we somehow spiraled into a therapy session about home thermostats and questionable...
-
Torque, Trauma, Taylor
We dragged Bill Taylor into the studio and immediately made him regret it by ping-ponging between EV anxiety, Jeep loyalty, and our collective trauma from the cars we drove in our youth. We wandered through market chaos, elevation-induced EV mood swings, and the eternal battle of “should I...
-
Credit, Chaos, Buc-ee’s
We really went everywhere this week—hats, gas prices, trade schools collapsing like a Jenga tower, and Buc-ee’s being the spiritual Disneyland of road trips. We managed to roast our own credit habits while pretending we understand the job market now that AI is crash-landing into every industry....
-
[PoddiMouths Classic] Hydration, Color Theory, and Emotional Damage
In this weeks classic episode we cover everything from travel preferences (“dry heat only, thanks”) to hydration like we’re certified wellness coaches who actually drink water. Then, because why not pretend we’re experts, we dive headfirst into election talk and voting patterns like we’re…
more -
Daylight, Drama & Dancers
We start off messing with social media algorithms like we’re tech geniuses, complain about podcast glitches (our brand), and pretend we’re marketing experts in a digital world ruled by chaos. From debating ballet dancer terminology (high culture, obviously) to dreaming up merch ideas, ranting…
more -
Motorcycles, Mayhem, and Mics
We kick things off by wrestling with our podcast tech (because of course it broke again), then daydream about launching a health show like we have our lives together. Between travel stories, Texas tall tales, motorcycle mischief, and rants about modern tech, we somehow squeeze in weather...
-
Cookware, Campfires, and Chaos
We ramble about everything from podcast gear to cast iron vs. carbon steel like it’s a life-or-death debate. Toss in some kitchen chaos, anniversary plans, neighborhood gossip, and a few overlanding dreams, and boom—you’ve got our usual mess. Oh, and of course, a cliffhanger for next time....
