The PoddiMouths Podcast

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 pool for cash. Naturally, we spend the back half complimenting each other's ax-throwing form like it's an Olympic event. A real first-season artifact.⁠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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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 talk through a sales myth we debunked by asking ChatGPT to prove it wrong, why Cadillac's billion-dollar all-electric bet had to be reversed, and a Carvana delivery that showed up smelling like cigarettes. We land on the same line we keep coming back to: AI gives you knowledge, not wisdom, and you still have to click stop yourself.Key Topics• Building the new PoddiMouths site and client sites with AI• Why prompting is the real skill, not the AI itself• Trust but verify: catching AI hallucinations• Debunking a sales myth with ChatGPT• Cadillac, EVs, and the cost of betting wrong• Carvana, dealership visits, and the emotional car-buying decision• Why customers, not government mandates, drive real change⁠Support 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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 our cultural observations are more thoughtful than hungry. It’s weather, travel, food, and personal regret—so, business as usual.

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 nobody checks the curriculum.

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 courtesy seems to be such a rare collectible. It’s basically a guide to enjoying the outdoors while avoiding people who make the outdoors harder to enjoy.Key Topics • Camping and national park strategies • Cost-effective outdoor activities • Beer brewing tips and local breweries • Humorous anecdotes about human behavior • Travel experiences and outdoor leisureSupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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, reconnecting with family, and the memories that happen somewhere between gas stations and roadside attractions. We also discuss Jon’s future dream road trip through bourbon country, summer heat, weird hypothetical questions, fermented foods, anesthesia, and the usual collection of completely unrelated topics that somehow make perfect sense to us. key topics • Road trip planning and destinations (Buffalo Trace, Jack Daniels, Woodford) • Family moments and personal growth during travel • Impact of travel on children's confidence and social skills • Travel logistics and challenges (driving, accommodations, timing) • Memorable experiences and scenic highlights Summer weather and activities • Humorous hypothetical questions • Personal health and medical procedures • Travel stories and family updates • Food favorites and local cuisineSupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

[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.

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 properties, and why living in Nashville isn’t getting any cheaper. Basically, it’s one of those episodes where we started in physical therapy and ended up everywhere else because apparently staying on topic is a suggestion, not a rule. key topics • Physical therapy recovery and hand surgery stories • Humorous TV show and actor discussions • Car history and collector insightsSupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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 culture references, and the usual chaos that happens when technology promises convenience but mostly delivers arguments with light bulbs. Somewhere in the middle, we accidentally become a wellness podcast against our will. key topics • Nick's hand surgery experience • Diet and lifestyle changes for weight loss • Use of technology and smart home devices • Humor and pop culture references during recoverySupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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 somehow turns into a full-contact sport every weekend. Somewhere between Eagle Rare opinions and childhood meat processing stories, we accidentally have a wholesome conversation about family traditions and food memories. Weirdly touching. Still chaotic. key topics • Bourbon tasting and collection • Favorite food and drink pairings • Family stories and personal anecdotesSupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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 discussion about respectful dialogue in a world that rewards screaming instead. It’s equal parts sarcasm, social commentary, and two hosts trying to survive modern society without becoming full-time cave people. key topics • The impact of societal and political changes on personal life • The importance of respectful dialogue in a polarized society • Humorous anecdotes about Midwest culture and personal stories • Insights on societal shifts, including city growth and cultural enclaves • Reflections on comedy, media, and the loss of quick wit in societySupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

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 political bear and attempting (keyword: attempting) to advocate for respectful discourse without losing our minds. key topicsNashville's secret session musiciansCelebrity kindness and reputationThe role of marketing in famePolitical discourse and societal respectBooks on life after death and past livesSupport 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 to past episodes, shop the merch store, and so much more!

Ironic that the classic episode we picked just so happened to be Bill Taylor's first PoddiPearance.  I promise, no hidden messaging...  Or is there?  LOL! - [PoddiClassic] Another week, another fantastic guest.  The PoddiMouths would like to introduce Bill Taylor, restorer of cool things, including a 1976 GMC truck (which is for sale, btw).  Check out this episode to learn more.  Did we mention Bill is a big fan of the PoddiMouths?  You're right, who isn't...  Anyway, enjoy away!  We will be posting some information about Bill, his GMC, and some of the other cool projects he's been doing.Support the show
