Set & Centered

Mark & RJ

Join Mark and RJ on a 50-acre rescue dog sanctuary in East Texas...where nothing ever goes as planned. From scorpion panic and snake facts to losing dogs they love and building things that refuse to cooperate, Set & Centered is an unscripted, unfiltered look at ranch life, rescue animals, and the friendship that keeps it all from falling apart. Explicit. Real. Frequently ridiculous.

    Save It For The Celine Dion Spec

    After last episode's Pokémon deep dive, RJ decided somebody needed to man this podcast up — so naturally we're talking trucks. Specifically, the ranch fleet and the very distinct personality of each one. It starts with Ranch Force One hitting 203,000 miles and a check engine light coming on at the exact moment RJ was praising it out loud. From there it's the full truck biography: the Suburban's former life as a Celine Dion Uber Black in Colorado (yes, she sat in that seat), the cylinder eight injector that broke in half inside the engine block, and how RJ got so good at pulling the top of the motor off that he eventually did it in 12 minutes flat. Then there's the Land Rover LR3 — mechanically a tank, electrically a fever dream — which managed to throw 27 fault codes when a single speed sensor wire got severed by a stick. And the glorious Sport 10, a former summer camp runabout with trailer tires, one headlight aimed at the sky, and zero to sixty time that ends in a question mark. Also: RJ crashing the F-150 into the Suburban while trying to pull it out of being stuck, a dainty attempted intervention, and the Pokedad shirt reveal. In this episode: Ranch Force One, the Celine Dion spec Suburban, and what DNA evidence might be lurking in the back seatCylinder eight, a broken injector, and the Haynes manual's advice to just do it all in reverseThe LR3's fog light/oil pressure light/FM antenna/rear defroster inter-dependency explained16 different size lug nuts, now down to 15The Sport 10: for trailer service only, and proud of itEmail us at setcenterlive@gmail.com or check out our website at https://www.setcenter.live Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/setcenterlive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@setcenterlive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/setcenterlive

    Save It For Pikachu

    For this shift Rob finally gets the floor, and he's using it to talk about the manliest thing a guy can do: collect Pokémon cards. After preloading his masculine credentials (football, wrestling, hunting, shooting — you're welcome), Rob breaks down his first big TCG expo at State Farm Stadium, the rabbit hole of Elite Trainer Boxes, Super Illustration Rares, and a Pokémon Center Evolving Skies ETB worth a thousand dollars. Then it's a rip sesh in the car with Brian, a Charizard EX Auto vs. a Charles Barkley auto, and a brief detour into whether RJ's Kevin Johnson autograph is ever going to be worth anything. Spoiler: that ship sailed. Meanwhile RJ and Rob find the through line connecting Pokémon cards, analog film photography, and astrophotography — turns out the crackhead aspect of opening packs and the slowness of a 35mm roll have more in common than you'd think. Rob's first card show — as big as a Texas gun show, held on an NFL fieldThe Pokémon Center stamp and why it makes a card worth 11x moreChase cards, SIRs, and why "buying hope and a dream" eventually gives way to buying singlesWemby's card values, the 29-point blown lead, and the ebbs and flows of sports card seasonWhy tangible hobbies are having a moment — and the crackhead aspect of all of themEmail us at setcenterlive@gmail.com or check out our website at https://www.setcenter.live Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/setcenterlive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@setcenterlive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/setcenterlive

    Honkers & Booties

    Flash showed up uninvited, hit the mute button, presented his cat butt to RJ, and left like nothing happened. Oakley had opinions about the cats. Hartley chewed through wires on the Expedition that turned out to be fine, which is the only way that story was going to end well. Two Canadian gooseapuses used the pond as a rest stop during a storm and took off like seaplanes. Then RJ opened the stenopad. What followed was a full housekeeping audit of every topic ever written down and never discussed — including BJ Ho's license plate, a UFO video, a flea autopsy, a rehydrated frog, Enrique Iglesias, and the revelation that RJ owns FatAssMahomes.com, and also BieberBootyBoom.com. Dobby liked socks. Mark changed it to pens. Mikey still likes it.  In this episode: • Junior chewed the one wire on the Expedition that didn't matter — and it's now just sitting on the deck • Hartley is only destructive when he's making a point, and RJ must have done something • Flash hit the mute button, got credited as producer, and retired to across the room • Two Canadian gooseapuses on the pond during a storm — six to eight pounds of output per day, per goose • The stenopad audit: Shania Twain done, Macarena in progress, Moosecrazy.com available? • BJ Ho has an Arizona license plate that nobody can explain and everybody has questions about • Enrique Iglesias — on the list, checked off, apparently already covered, moving on • FatAssMahomes.com is a real website that RJ owns and hasn't updated in a while but stands by • BieberBootyBoom.com also exists, also his, under construction • Mikey from the Life cereal commercial explained to RJ — who immediately went to mikeylikesit.com and was hooked • Dobby liked socks. Mark said pens. RJ said sure. • UFO video, flea autopsy, and a rehydrated frog — all pending future episodes Email us at setcenterlive@gmail.com or check out our website at https://www.setcenter.live Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/setcenterlive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@setcenterlive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/setcenterlive

    Flash Hacks The Pentagon

    Oakley, Finley, and Flash are all in the studio and none of them were invited. Spotify thinks Set & Centered listeners should also check out Calm Your Daily Stress and Handbag Designer 101, which we are choosing to take as a compliment. Mark wrote to Shania Twain from an aircraft carrier in 1994, she wrote back with autographed photos for the whole crew, and he found out the same day he took a catapult launch off the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Meanwhile: Cher held an entire naval vessel hostage for two days so she could film a music video, three AI systems gave three completely different answers about solar panel wiring and at least one of them was dangerous, Buckley has grown up, and there's a 24-7 live stream of Lake Lucy and Patsy's Pasture coming to YouTube very soon. In this episode: • Oakley, Finley, and Flash in the studio — a false start, a scuffle, and a cat that is probably hacking the Pentagon • Spotify's suggested podcasts for Set & Centered listeners include Calm Your Daily Stress and Handbag Designer 101 — make of that what you will • James May, Rachel Ray, and the specific kind of person who watches something just to complain about it • Mark wrote to Shania Twain from the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 1994 — and she wrote back with autographed photos for the entire crew • What a catapult launch off an aircraft carrier actually feels like from inside the plane — and why the CNN guy was turning blue • Cher's If I Could Turn Back Time video held an entire ship at sea for two extra days after a six-month deployment • Three AI systems, one solar panel wiring question, three completely different answers — a public service announcement • Buckley update: little legs, big heart, finally keeping up with the pack • The Lake Lucy and Patsy's Pasture 24-7 live stream — coming to YouTube soon • Studio move in progress — maybe Email us at setcenterlive@gmail.com or check out our website at https://www.setcenter.live Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/setcenterlive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@setcenterlive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/setcenterlive

    The Portfolio of Life

    Finding Nemo has been fully watched, including the turtle scene this time. RJ returns with an official updated review — same five categories, same seven-duckie scale — and the scores have moved. Some significantly. Meanwhile, a Mother's Day gift spent six days in the Dallas regional facility before anyone told it to leave, RJ walks through the entire tracking history in real time, and somehow it's riveting. Then: Mark's six to eight carousels of 35mm slides from his Seattle photography days, why old film has a shelf life that nobody thinks about until it's too late, and what it actually takes to digitize 25 reels of eight millimeter home movies from 1956. Chimp Crazy has also finally been watched. There are no words. Watch it. In this episode: • Finding Nemo review number two: updated scores across all five categories now that the turtle scene has been seen • Why the turtle scene bumped the story/plot score from one duckie to three — and why RJ is now selling it harder than Mark did • Andrew Stanton: director, voice of Crush, and the thing RJ looked up that he didn't expect • Final score: 26 out of 35 duckies. Mark's still at 29. The gap has narrowed. • The Mother's Day package: Palestine TX post office, priority mail, and six days of going in circles in Dallas • A step-by-step walkthrough of the USPS tracking history that has absolutely no business being as compelling as it is • Chimp Crazy: Mark and Christina have watched it. Jaw on the floor, multiple times, per episode. It's on HBO Max. Four episodes. Watch it. • Kesha's Joyride: a banger attached to a music video that has no business being attached to it • Mark's Seattle photography era — waterfalls, Gasworks Park, slide film, and six to eight carousels nobody has looked at in decades • Digitizing 25 reels of eight millimeter home film from 1956: the machine that worked, the DVD process that didn't, and the truck that saved the day • What happens to old film if nobody does anything about it — and why now is always the right time Email us at setcenterlive@gmail.com or check out our website at https://www.setcenter.live Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/setcenterlive YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@setcenterlive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/setcenterlive
