  1. S2E50: Dungeons, Dragons, and Drew

    22H AGO

    S2E50: Dungeons, Dragons, and Drew

    In this episode of Between the States, the crew sits down with special guest Drew for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with Dungeons & Dragons and quickly spirals into music, gaming nostalgia, internet culture, and the strange corners of the modern world. Drew shares how a pandemic hobby turned into a six-year D&D campaign, complete with custom world-building, time travel storylines, and the chaos of running a tabletop RPG with friends and family. The guys break down how D&D actually works, from dungeon masters and dice rolls to character creation and storytelling.  Along the way, the conversation jumps into retro video games vs modern gaming, Twitch streaming, the challenges of making music independently, and why creative pursuits can be both rewarding and brutally discouraging. Drew also reflects on his past as a musician, recording albums, playing in bands, and the reality of putting art into the world. As always, the discussion takes plenty of unexpected detours into absurd humor, internet oddities, and the everyday chaos of life. If you enjoy comedy podcasts, gaming culture, tabletop RPGs, and unfiltered conversations between friends, this episode is for you.

    S2E47: Roblox and Fighting Wild Animals

    In this chaotic and hilarious episode of Between The States, Dan, Jared, and Noel dive into everything from Roblox millionaires and disturbing online experiences to alien invasion dreams and the psychological damage of working retail. The guys react to listener feedback, debate whether Roblox development money is worth selling your soul, and share wild personal stories including Navy nipple piercings, smashing fluorescent bulbs, and returning cans for deposit money. Dan surprises Noel with a deeply unsettling handmade gift tied to a traumatic former job, while the group discusses Valentine’s Day, garage discoveries, and childhood misconceptions about dragons. The conversation spirals into absurd territory as they debate which animals they could realistically fist fight, including goats, cheetahs, bears, and alligators. They also reveal plans for Season Three, including focused topic episodes, conspiracy debates, and deeper dives into sci-fi, media, and culture.  This episode blends absurd humor, personal stories, internet culture, and unfiltered conversation into exactly the kind of unpredictable chaos that defines Between The States.

    S2E46: We Tried to Understand AI and Cryptocurrency…with Nancy

    Nancy joins the show as the group attempts to wrap their heads around two of the most confusing and talked-about topics today: artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Coming at it from the perspective of people who don’t claim to be experts, the conversation is full of honest questions, skepticism, and plenty of moments where things make less sense the more they’re explained. From wondering what AI actually can and can’t do, to trying to figure out why cryptocurrency exists at all, it’s a relatable, funny, and sometimes frustrating attempt to understand technologies that everyone talks about but few people truly understand.  Just a heads up, the audio in the first 10 or so mins is a little less than perfect, someone forgot to turn on the recorder (Dan) and we had to use the back up.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show Episodes available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetweenTheStates Follow us on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Between-The-States/61574045351917/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweenthestatespod/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@betweenthestates BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/betweenthestates.bsky.social Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/BetweenTheStates/ Comments, questions, or suggestions can be sent to: Podcast@BetweenTheStates.com Best way to support the show: https://www.patreon.com/BetweentheStates

    S2E45: Laughing First, Thinking Later with Del

    This week we welcome back Del! This episode starts with jokes, side conversations, and yes, poop, before sliding into a more honest discussion about men’s mental health, stress, and delayed emotional processing. The guys talk about reacting first, brushing things off, and only realizing later that something actually stuck. The conversation turns toward how men often cope by minimizing, using humor, or avoiding naming what’s wrong in the moment. It’s a mix of laughing, oversharing, and reflecting after the fact, exactly how these conversations tend to happen in real life. Laugh first. Think later. Sometimes realize it mattered more than you thought. If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about suicide, help is available.  You don’t have to go through it alone. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States. Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7.
