The Fairview Social Podcast

In this episode of the Fairview Social Podcast, the Two Sad Dads crew attempts to hold a “Q2 report”… but quickly realizes nothing about it makes sense—and that pretty much sets the tone for the entire episode.What follows is a completely unfiltered mix of topics, from space exploration and moon conspiracies to movie reviews, overpriced nights at the Ryman, and the reality of raising teenagers. The guys debate whether we actually know what’s happening on the dark side of the moon, break down recent movies worth watching, and spiral into stories about fake IDs, first wrecks, and growing up in Fairview.One of the standout moments comes from a real-life parenting story involving a minor car accident, questionable decision-making, and the kind of stress every parent understands the second their kid calls and says, “don’t be mad…”It’s random, hilarious, and completely off the rails—exactly what you’d expect when four guys sit down with no real plan and just let it rip.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩  Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In Episode 5 of The Presidents Project, Tim and the crew break down the life and presidency of James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States and the last of the Founding Father-era leaders. Known for the so-called “Era of Good Feelings,” Monroe’s presidency is often remembered as a time of unity—but the episode explores how that surface-level calm actually hid growing tensions around slavery, expansion, and the future direction of the country. The conversation dives into Monroe’s biggest contributions, including the Monroe Doctrine, which essentially told European powers to stay out of the Western Hemisphere, and the Missouri Compromise, which temporarily held the country together while deeper divisions continued to grow. They also discuss America’s shift into expansion mode, the acquisition of Florida, and how Monroe helped set the stage for the country’s long-term global identity. Along the way, the episode keeps its usual humor—touching on Monroe’s military past, his rough early life, the strange reality of multiple presidents dying on July 4th, and how these early leaders were shaping a country they barely understood themselves.It’s a mix of history, humor, and perspective—showing how Monroe helped stabilize the nation while quietly passing major problems on to the generations that followed.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩  Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim sits down with Wyatt Chocklett, CEO of TriStar Horizon, to break down what’s really happening with the proposed emergency room coming to Fairview—and clear up the confusion the community has been hearing. What started as rumors online turns into a detailed conversation about how the process actually works, including the state’s approval system, why there are competing applications, and what the timeline could look like moving forward. Wyatt shares his background in healthcare and explains what it’s like running a hospital, while also diving into the bigger picture—how access to emergency care directly impacts survival rates in situations like heart attacks and strokes, where minutes truly matter. The conversation highlights why Fairview has needed this for years and what this new facility could change for the community. They also cover what a freestanding ER actually is (and isn’t), what services will be available, where it would be located, how it could affect traffic, job opportunities, and what happens next as the state reviews both proposals.At the end of the day, the message is simple: no matter which system gets approved, Fairview finally wins.http://TriStarFairviewER.comwww.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩  Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim sits down with all three of his sons for a rare podcast—and it quickly turns into exactly what you’d expect: pure chaos, roasting, and real conversations. From the jump, the group leans into old stories, sibling dynamics, and the reality of growing up together, including WWE-style fights, Nerf gun wars, and the kind of moments every family somehow survives. As the conversation unfolds, it shifts between humor and surprisingly real topics—moving away from home, life in New York, military responsibility, relationships, money habits, and what it actually means to grow into adulthood. Tim also reflects on parenting, what advice stuck (and what didn’t), and how each of his kids turned out completely different despite growing up in the same house. The episode blends funny, honest, and sometimes brutal family honesty—covering everything from who was the biggest troublemaker growing up to who would survive if everything fell apart.It’s raw, hilarious, and relatable—like sitting in a room with a family that knows each other too well.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩  Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In Episode 4 of The Presidents Project, the Fairview Social crew dives into the life and legacy of James Madison, the fourth President of the United States and the man often called the “Father of the Constitution.” Alongside a quick recap of the early formation of the country—from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution and Bill of Rights—the episode highlights how much of Madison’s most important work happened before he ever became president. The conversation explores Madison’s presidency during one of the most difficult periods in early American history, including the War of 1812, where the British burned Washington, D.C., and tested whether the young nation could survive. They also break down how Madison adapted his beliefs over time—shifting from opposing a national bank to supporting one after seeing the country struggle financially during war. Beyond politics, the episode highlights lesser-known aspects of Madison’s life, including his small stature, health struggles, and the major influence of Dolley Madison, who helped shape the role of the First Lady and played a key role during the British attack on Washington.It’s a mix of history, humor, and perspective—showing how one of the quietest Founding Fathers helped build the framework of the United States while navigating one of its earliest crises.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩  Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, the Fairview Social Podcast crew brings together a mix of family and chaos as Tim sits down with his son Haydn (fresh back from New York), Joseph, and others for a loose, unfiltered conversation. What starts as a catch-up quickly turns into classic back-and-forth—joking about parenting, family group chats, and the reality of staying connected as everyone gets older and spreads out.Haydn shares updates on life in New York, including leaving a dog-walking job and starting a new role at a golf course, while the group debates whether he’ll ever move back home. The conversation bounces between jobs, money, independence, and what it actually takes to build a life in a big city.Meanwhile, Tim and Joseph talk about their ongoing weight-loss bet (and the unfortunate mustache that came with it), the Presidents Project gaining traction, and the constant tension between wanting to stay comfortable and pushing yourself to do something bigger.The episode wraps with one of the most chaotic moments yet—a debate over doing an extremely spicy “one chip challenge,” where peer pressure, bad decisions, and curiosity collide in a way that perfectly sums up the show.It’s messy, funny, and real—like sitting in a room with family where nothing is off limits.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩  Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this laid-back and personal episode of the Fairview Social Podcast, Tim and Jeems recap a night out at Zanies in Nashville before diving into everything going on in their lives—from launching a new business to navigating midlife changes. The conversation blends humor with real-life decision making as they talk about starting Holliswood Vending, a new venture built around AI-powered vending machines, and why having the right locations makes it a no-brainer opportunity. They also discuss an upcoming home renovation that’s about to throw their entire routine into chaos, along with the financial realities of balancing big life decisions—like taking on a remodel while trying to launch a business at the same time. The episode gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually feels like to take a “safe” risk and try to build something of your own without completely blowing up your stability. Beyond business, the conversation turns into a deeper reflection on midlife, where Jeems shares how this stage feels less like a crisis and more like an awakening—rediscovering identity, taking new risks, and finally focusing on personal growth after years of raising kids and putting others first. Tim contrasts that with his own mindset of always needing to stay busy, build, and create. It’s a mix of humor, real talk, business ideas, and life perspective—covering everything from comedy shows and family to entrepreneurship and what it really means to build a life in your 40s.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In Episode 3 of The Presidents Project, the Fairview Social crew dives into the life and legacy of Thomas Jefferson, one of the most complex and influential figures in early American history. The conversation explores Jefferson’s role as the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, which he famously drafted at just 33 years old, helping shape the philosophical foundation of the United States. The discussion also covers some of Jefferson’s biggest achievements as president, including the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the United States for $15 million, and the launch of the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the newly expanded western territories. Jefferson’s passion for science, architecture, agriculture, and innovation is highlighted through stories about his design of Monticello, his love of gardening, and even his massive personal library, which helped form the foundation of the Library of Congress. At the same time, the episode examines the contradictions that defined Jefferson’s life. While promoting ideals like liberty and the pursuit of happiness, he owned more than 600 enslaved people and struggled to reconcile his political philosophy with his personal actions. The hosts also discuss Jefferson’s political rivalries, his influence on early American party politics, and the lasting impact he left on the country’s expansion and identity. It’s a deep but entertaining conversation about one of the most brilliant, controversial, and layered figures in American history.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim sits down with Zach Crone, a landscape architect and longtime friend, for a laid-back conversation that jumps between work, technology, aviation, and the strange ways modern life keeps evolving. The two talk about the start of the spring landscaping season in Tennessee, home improvement projects, and the satisfaction of tackling DIY builds—even if the motivation sometimes comes after a few drinks. The discussion turns to Tim’s ongoing $500 weight-loss bet with Joseph, the challenges of staying disciplined, and the reality of trying to reset habits as you get older. They also dive into the growing role of AI tools like ChatGPT (“Larry”), debating whether the technology is trustworthy, how people interact with it differently, and whether being nice to AI will matter when robots inevitably take over.Later in the episode, the conversation moves into aviation, where Zach explains how airplanes actually work—from the complexity of cockpit controls to how much of modern commercial flying is automated. The two talk about how incredible it is that hundreds of people can be launched into the sky in a giant machine and safely land across the country, something most travelers completely take for granted. It’s a relaxed, funny episode covering everything from building backyard projects and losing weight to AI trust issues, the President’s Project podcast series, and the technology that quietly powers everyday life.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In Part 2 of The President’s Project, Tim and Mike dive into the life and legacy of John Adams, the second President of the United States and one of the most influential—but often overlooked—Founding Fathers. They explore Adams’ role in pushing for independence, his complicated presidency, and the intense political battles that helped shape the early American government. The episode covers major moments like the peaceful transfer of power after George Washington, the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, Adams’ rivalry with Thomas Jefferson, and the surprising reconciliation that came later in life. Along the way, they reflect on how many of the political conflicts, media attacks, and power struggles Adams faced over 200 years ago still feel familiar today. It’s an honest, funny, and eye-opening look at the man who helped stabilize a brand-new nation—and the lasting impact of his leadership.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim and Joseph recap Joseph's recent trip to San Antonio, Texas, including visiting the Riverwalk, touring the Alamo, getting spontaneous tattoos, and attending a conference where Gas Monkey Garage’s Richard Rawlings was the keynote speaker. While the trip had some memorable moments—like an open-bar party at the Alamo and finally seeing historic landmarks in person—Joseph reflects on how underwhelming parts of the city felt and how travel often isn’t as glamorous as expected. The conversation shifts into their usual mix of humor and real life, covering everything from leaving a 16-year-old home alone to house-sit, binge-watching shows like Shrinking and 1883, spending money on cowboy boots and hats, and making bets to finally lose weight. They also talk about getting older, declining eyesight, motorcycle riding, and using Life360 to track their kids as they start driving.It’s a laid-back, funny episode about travel disappointments, getting older, parenting teenagers, and trying (and often failing) to become slightly more responsible adults.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In the first episode of The Presidents Project, Tim and Mike kick off the series by diving into the life and legacy of George Washington, the man who helped shape the foundation of the United States. They explore the well-known stories—like leading the Continental Army and becoming the first president—while also uncovering lesser-known facts, controversies, and human details that don’t make it into most history books. The conversation moves beyond textbook history into a deeper discussion about leadership, character, and the incredible weight Washington carried while building a brand-new nation. From his decision to step down instead of becoming king, to the myths about his teeth, his personal struggles, and the difficult moral realities of his time, Tim and Mike reflect on how Washington’s choices still impact America today. It’s equal parts educational, funny, and honest—setting the stage for a full series exploring all 47 U.S. presidents.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim introduces The President’s Project, a brand-new series within the Fairview Social Podcast that will cover all 47 U.S. presidents—one episode at a time. The goal isn’t to deliver a dry history lecture, but to explore each president through a mix of well-known facts, lesser-known stories, scandals, and the more human, messy moments that shaped their legacy. Timeline 1Tim explains how researching George Washington and the early presidents opened his eyes to how similar politics and personal conflicts were centuries ago compared to today. The series is designed to be fun, approachable, and educational without taking itself too seriously—giving listeners a chance to learn alongside him while seeing American history through a modern lens. Timeline 1With 47 episodes planned, Tim invites listeners to follow along as he dives into the stories, drama, and personalities behind the most powerful office in the country.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this unfiltered episode, Tim sits down with Chris (“CC”) to walk through photos and stories from his Marine Corps deployments in Afghanistan and around the world. What starts as casual conversation over bourbon quickly turns into a firsthand look at combat life — clearing compounds, searching for IEDs, escorting missions, and navigating the constant uncertainty of operations where intelligence was often wrong and danger was everywhere.Chris explains the reality behind the gear, the missions, and the decisions that kept his team alive, while also reflecting on the bond formed with the men he served beside — friendships that have lasted through weddings, funerals, and life after the military. The episode also explores what movies get wrong about war, the emotional weight of those experiences, and how different the rest of the world can be compared to life in the U.S.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this live episode of the Fairview Social Podcast, the crew jumps on Facebook for the first time to talk through the chaos of the 2026 winter ice storm that knocked out power across Middle Tennessee. What starts as storm talk quickly turns into classic Fairview banter — frozen pipes, 37-degree houses, generator regrets, hotel stays with dogs, propane heaters, and cooking steaks in the fireplace.The guys swap stories about losing power, scrambling for supplies, sleeping under piles of blankets, and realizing just how dependent modern life is on electricity and internet. From there, the conversation expands into bigger questions: Are we actually prepared for real emergencies? What would happen if things truly shut down long-term? Is it crazy to think like a “prepper,” or just responsible?They also dive into power company communication, NES vs. Middle Tennessee Electric, generator setups, fiber internet debates, and how community (and humor) matters when things go sideways.It’s part storm recap, part survival talk, part technology rant — and completely unfiltered.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this solo episode, Tim reflects on the aftermath of Snowmageddon 2026 in Middle Tennessee and how a few days without power exposed just how fragile modern life really is. What started as a winter storm quickly turned into frozen pipes, power outages, a wrecked pool system, and the uncomfortable realization that he—and many others—aren’t nearly as prepared as they think.Tim talks about living through the storm from two angles: the professional side of working in an industry tied to snow and ice events, and the personal side of sitting in a cold house with no power, relying on a fireplace and limited supplies. He shares lessons learned about preparation, technology dependence, first-world complacency, and how quickly grocery stores empty when things go sideways.The episode turns inward as Tim questions what it means to be a provider and leader when basic systems fail, comparing his lack of preparedness to what he’s seen in places like Haiti and Mexico where survival skills are part of daily life. He also gives credit where it’s due—acknowledging Nikki for being the one who actually prepared while he brushed the storm off.It’s a thoughtful, honest reflection on vulnerability, responsibility, and the wake-up call that sometimes comes when everything stops working.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Two Sad Dads officially return with their Q1 Report, catching up after months apart and immediately slipping back into chaos. The guys talk about appliance failures, snowstorm anxiety, injury recoveries, teenage drivers, Life360 stress, and the realities of parenting kids who now have way more freedom than their parents ever did.The episode introduces new recurring segments like “Q’s from the View” and “From the Cry Room,” where listener questions range from Fairview’s growth and housing prices to Chester Boom reunion rumors, hot dog obsessions, unsolicited insults, and whether Mike will ever get his bear tattoo. Things escalate when a discussion about smelling salts turns into a full-on physical reaction that derails the room.It’s classic Two Sad Dads: unfiltered, self-aware, occasionally unhinged, and full of inside jokes, listener interactions, and the kind of conversations that feel like sitting in a room with friends who’ve known each other too long.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim welcomes his sister in law Trinity to the podcast for her first official appearance (after a “vaulted” Christmas recording). Trinity talks about staying in Tennessee since October while she gets ready to head back to Texas — including the stress of locking in an apartment and planning the big road trip move with Mom and Dawn.From there, the conversation turns into classic Fairview chaos: family dynamics, being outnumbered in the Hollis household, funny childhood stories, and Trinity’s hilarious take on growing up in the “whitest family ever” while learning culture through music, the military, and life experiences. They also talk about Nashville’s Factory, the overpriced shops, the carousel for the kids, and Tim & Nikki’s new era of creative date nights — shows, events, concerts, and trips they never had time for earlier in life.The episode is light, funny, and full of family stories — with the kind of real-life conversations that make the podcast feel like you’re sitting in the room with them.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this final episode of “The Time When Things Got Bad… But Then It Got Better” series, Tim reflects on how mission trips to Haiti changed his worldview, then shifts into the burnout he experienced from being deeply involved in church life. He shares how losing a home in foreclosure reshaped his perspective, how his family rebuilt their lives through renting and later buying again, and how longtime friendships helped guide them into the stable life they have now at Holliswood Studios. The episode ends with an honest reflection on solitude, gratitude, family loss, and finding peace with mortality.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this episode, Tim sits down with Rusty for the final chapter of the Chester Boom series, looking back on the band’s music, live shows, and the reality of chasing success as a working adult. They talk about songwriting (and how most songs share the same building blocks), highlight favorite venues and memories from the Chester Boom days, and reflect on what it was like promoting music before social media. The conversation is funny, nostalgic, and honest—ending with their hope to record and preserve the songs the right way before time and life move on.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In the first episode of 2026, Tim and Mike kick off the new year with a wide-ranging, thoughtful conversation about recovery, restlessness, identity, and wanting more out of life. Mike shares how foot surgery has already improved his quality of life, while Tim reflects on burnout, self-inflicted stress, and the difficulty of slowing down after years of grinding.The episode moves between lighthearted stories and deeper reflection: working through the holidays, the mental toll of returning to the office, trips to Gatlinburg, sky lifts in the Smoky Mountains, Buc-ee’s obsession, and why vacations hit differently as you get older. A simple vacation purchase — a hat — sparks a larger discussion about identity, confidence, and the freedom to become “who you want to be” later in life.From there, the conversation turns more introspective. Tim and Mike talk candidly about missed opportunities, financial regret, ambition, and the desire to build something meaningful beyond a traditional 9–5. They wrestle with the balance between gratitude and dissatisfaction, acknowledging how fortunate they are while still feeling driven to create wealth, legacy, and personal freedom.The episode wraps with talk of new podcast segments, future plans (including presidential history episodes), and a shared commitment to make 2026 a year of action — less sitting still, more creating, and more intention. It’s a relaxed, honest, and reflective start to the year that blends humor, friendship, and real-life conversation.Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this laid-back episode, Tim and Daniel catch up over a Saturday-morning podcast, talking through parenting milestones, holiday traditions, and the weird realization that they’re now the adults in the room. They start with lighthearted stories about kids’ basketball games, sleepovers, and Elf on the Shelf — including how children are starting to question whether their parents are just “too lazy” to move the elves.The conversation shifts into Christmas traditions: wrapped vs. unwrapped Santa gifts, Christmas Eve versus Christmas morning routines, waiting to decorate trees, and how childhood traditions evolve once you start your own family. From there, the episode takes a more reflective turn as they talk about aging, confidence, grief, and the long list of losses Tim and his family have experienced over the years — especially how holidays tend to amplify that absence.They also dig into adulthood realities: introversion vs. extroversion, being comfortable in social situations, impostor syndrome, and realizing that most people are just faking confidence. The episode closes with thoughtful discussion about work-from-home life, productivity, interruptions, and how both men have learned to prioritize efficiency, communication, and authenticity over appearances.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

This episode begins as a thrown-together recording: Joseph showed up, Nikki was invited last minute, Eric was kidnapped from his house, and Mike (fresh out of surgery) ignores all their calls. From there, the group dives into their usual blend of humor, storytelling, and family honesty.They debate podcast “intro music etiquette,” complain about listeners who complain, and talk about doing a future live call-in show. The big topic becomes Christmas traditions—specifically, whether Santa’s gifts should be wrapped or left in piles. This turns into a hilarious, defensive argument about whose family was lazy, who’s doing it “wrong,” and what counts as Christmas magic.The episode then shifts into parenting and coming-of-age: Sam getting his license, teaching him to work on the 1994 F-150 he’s inheriting, and how meaningful it was for father and son to fix the truck together without fighting. They joke about teenage wrecks, insurance nightmares, and how Hollis kids always learn things the hard way.Eric talks about his paranormal work, Goblin Con, and possibly buying another historic haunted house. Tim unveils plans for the upcoming U.S. Presidents mini-series. Finally, the last 20 minutes revolve around an absolutely unhinged debate about buying a homemade ultralight airplane sitting in a field nearby—complete with arguments over flight plans, tax write-offs, marketing ideas, and who is too fat to fly.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

Episode #51In this episode, Tim and Joseph settle into one of their most personal and nostalgic conversations yet. They start by discussing their revived tradition of frying turkeys — something their dad used to do — and the logistical comedy of delivering foil-wrapped “fried butterball basketballs” to the whole family. The episode quickly turns into a memory spiral: childhood pets, the infamous one-eyed Cocker Spaniel Hershey, his year-long disappearance and “Christmas miracle” return, and the heartbreak of him later being hit by a truck while they were burying a cat.From there, they revisit their upbringing — their grandmother’s clean, quiet, formal Thanksgiving versus their Meemaw’s smoky, cramped, chaotic UNO-playing house packed with loud relatives. They reflect on how magical holidays felt as kids and how hard it is to recreate that magic as adults. The two brothers talk about traditions they’ve lost, parenting differences, Santa rules, Elf on the Shelf, caroling, kids turning into teenagers, family members aging, and what they want their own families to remember decades from now. It’s an episode about childhood, family legacy, and trying to rebuild meaning in adulthood.Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

Episode #50In this laid-back, funny episode, Tim and Mike open by admitting they lack basic “survival skills” — neither can hunt, gut a deer, or live off the land. That launches a stream of self-deprecating jokes about what they would do if society collapsed: rely on fishing, commentary, or just eating each other.From there, they drift into what becomes the core of the episode: their obsession with cooking techniques. Tim explains how he and Joseph still fry turkeys every year, sharing stories about taking over a tradition their dad used to run. The real highlight is Tim’s discovery of Bacon Up, a giant tub of filtered bacon grease he proudly uses for everything, treating it like a secret weapon for flavor.The conversation becomes a blend of science and humor as they break down why so many people overcook meat, what the “pop-up thermometer” gets wrong, and why pulling food early and letting it rest is the real secret to juiciness. Mike adds his experience with smoking meats, brining, and cooking for a morning event, comparing notes and timing with Tim’s frying process.They dive into side stories about being tricked into eating deer, why venison always seems to show up wrapped in bacon, why people burn houses down with fryers, and which cooking setups actually make sense for normal people. Throughout, the episode stays relaxed, funny, practical, and centered on two guys riffing on cooking, survival, and the ridiculousness of adulthood.Check out all things The Fairview Social Podcast in the links below:www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

In this Thanksgiving episode, Tim looks back on the holiday traditions that shaped him. Triggered by the recent passing of his grandfather Gene, he revisits his childhood routines — first Thanksgiving dinner at his grandmother Gran’s tidy home in Donelson, then a chaotic second meal at Unile's house in Antioch, where the air was thick with cigarette smoke, laughter, and arguments about dressing recipes. He describes riding in the family minivan between houses, watching stars through the cracked window, and recognizing how those moments formed his sense of gratitude. The episode also reflects on the meaning of Thanksgiving versus Christmas — the gift-free celebration of simply being together — and how adulthood and parenthood often blur that appreciation. Tim closes by thanking listeners for following The Fairview Social Podcast, calling it a “diary” for his children and a reminder that connection, not gifts, is what matters most.www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.comYouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/X - https://x.com/fairviewsocialTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fairviewsocialpodcastClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

Recorded shortly after Gene Hollis’s final arrangements were planned, this episode captures Tim, his brother Joseph, and his wife Katlin trying to process a difficult week with humor and realism. They open with a toast of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked in Gene’s honor, recalling how he was flirting with nurses even on his final day. The trio recounts their uncomfortable — and hilarious — experience at the funeral home, debating coffin prices, joking about “accommodating coffins,” and making the young funeral director visibly uneasy. They segue into talk about cremation, family loss over the years, and how expensive death has become. Tim reflects on now being the eldest Hollis and family patriarch, while Joseph vows to stop swearing for one episode (and fails). They also discuss another family death anniversary, pets’ burials, and cremation mishaps, before ending on the surreal moment of welcoming a new baby to the family the same day as Gene’s burial. The result is a candid, funny, and heartfelt exploration of family, grief, and the strange balance of life and death.ALL THINGS THE FAIRVIEW SOCIAL PODCAST CLICK HERE!Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

Tim and his Nikki sit down after an emotional week to process the death of Tim’s grandfather, Gene Hollis. The episode begins with casual hot-tub banter, then shifts into reflections on family loss, care, and closure. They recall Gene’s final hours, his humor until the very end, and the long line of family members they’ve personally watched pass away. The discussion moves toward how the couple supported Gene by moving him into their home, helping him transition to assisted living, and ultimately planning his burial. Along the way they use humor — even while shopping for caskets — to cope with grief, talk about the high cost of dying, and reflect on generational change. The show closes on gratitude for each other and the “new chapters” beginning in their family.ALL THINGS THE FAIRVIEW SOCIAL PODCAST CLICK HERE!Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

Tim welcomes his son Eli and niece Jenna to The Fairview Social Podcast for their first-ever appearance. What starts with jokes about a can of SpaghettiOs (from a viral TikTok comment) turns into a family catch-up filled with wild stories — like Eli’s 140-mph speeding ticket that landed him briefly in jail, Jenna’s multiple foot surgeries after a car crash, and how both of them keep getting caught in the family’s “birthday curse” where everyone’s born the same week. The trio riff on family quirks, share memories from basic training, laugh about awkward relationships (including Eli’s infamous false-teeth breakup), and talk about his time serving in Estonia during near–World War III drills. They close out reflecting on COVID, work-from-home culture, and upcoming tattoos — all while joking like a tight-knit family who can roast each other with love.ALL THINGS THE FAIRVIEW SOCIAL PODCASTClick here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!

Tim reunites with his friends Zach and Mike for a relaxed, funny conversation that moves between personal stories, work banter, and creative ideas. They joke about calling Joseph mid-show and fantasize about buying a small plane to fly from Tim's backyard, discuss AI tools used in business proposals, and swap ideas for landscaping, fire pits, and DIY projects. There’s talk about COVID-era memories, Halloween vs. Thanksgiving, and how time seems to fly by. The crew also discusses podcast ads, listener growth, and even runs a spontaneous “like and subscribe” promo. Overall, it’s an easygoing mix of humor, friendship, and relatable everyday topics.Please like and share the show!

In this episode, Tim hosts Joseph and Eric for a relaxed and often hilarious chat over Woodford Reserve Double Oaked whiskey. The trio kicks off by toasting Gene, a family member now in hospice, and then spiral into jokes about podcast intros, YouTube culture, and “smacking the like button.” Eric shares his success running Goblin Con, a local paranormal convention, and the group reminisces about growing up together in Fairview — from childhood pranks to church youth groups and haunted houses. Joseph tells a disastrous haunted hayride story that launches a rant about how Halloween has lost its edge, turning into a broader discussion about nostalgia, parenting, and small-town culture. The hosts also touch on personal topics like family loss, old friends, and funny (sometimes inappropriate) memories from their youth, all while maintaining the raw, unfiltered tone that defines The Fairview Social Podcast.Please like and share the show!
