 We have been the best of friends for 15 years (whether he  likes it or not..lol).  Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it! Come and laugh with us at our quirky, weird brains as we navigate this thing called "podcasting". We truly are just a couple of smart asses with diverse interests who need jobs to make an income. Since we couldn't find that in the "normal" world, we came here to give it a go! We truly are grateful you are here to support us on our journey.

    Game For Thought

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda dive into the world of tabletop gaming, pen-and-paper RPGs, and video game adaptations. Dagda recaps his weekend making characters for a Dragon-based game, creating a second Pathfinder character to fill gaps when players don't show up, and playing old Warhammer strategy games (Shadow of the Horned Rat and Dark Omen) on Steam. The conversation spirals into frustration with multiplayer-only games—especially Shadowrun, which should have been a campaign RPG but became a failed competitive shooter. They discuss Warhammer 40K MMOs, the origins of Warhammer as a competitive miniature game, and why co-op-only games are frustrating. Jen pitches her dream video game concept: a Pathfinder/D&D campaign video game with multiplayer lobbies, chapter markers, progress tracking, and the ability to drop in/out with NPCs filling gaps. Dagda explains living campaigns, virtual tabletops (VTTs) like Roll20 and Battlegrounds, digital modules, licensing agreements, and how players can take their characters across cities. They explore AI game masters, subscription models for online play, tutorial adventures, and why eliminating human GMs could hurt the industry. Plus: work schedules, sleep deprivation, horror movies with Marlon Wayans, and why Jen's back hurts. It's part gaming rant, part tabletop RPG deep dive, part video game pitch—classic Conversations Over Coffee. #podcast #tabletopgaming #warhammer #mmos #pathfinder #creativethoughts #roleplaygames  Artwork:Kyra_Starr Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    Marky? Mark!

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda dive deep into Mark Wahlberg's incredible career, from his early days as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and Calvin Klein model to his breakout film roles in Fear (1996), Boogie Nights, Three Kings, and The Departed. They explore his impressive range across action (Shooter, Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, Patriots Day), comedy (Daddy's Home, Ted, The Other Guys), and biopics (The Perfect Storm, Pain and Gain, Instant Family, Joe Bell). Jen raves about Mark's latest thriller Flight Risk, where he plays a terrifying bisexual hitman with a cold sack wig, and compares it to his psycho performance in Fear. They discuss his 11 siblings (including Donnie Wahlberg of New Kids on the Block and Dreamcatcher), his bizarre Sega CD video game, and why he's Hollywood's grittiest leading man. The conversation spirals into Halloween Ends spoilers (Michael Myers ground into fertilizer), Jamie Lee Curtis as Hollywood royalty, Don Cheadle and Kevin Hart's age debate, and Mr. T's name change to demand respect. Plus: Starship Troopers, Ben Affleck's worst line in Armageddon, George Clooney's early career, and why Mark Wahlberg ages gracefully. It's part career retrospective, part horror movie tangent, part Hollywood history lesson—classic Conversations Over Coffee. #podcast #markwahlberg #markymarkandthefunkybunch #entertained #talented Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    Good Luck Dean and Carl

    Send us Fan Mail Jen and Dagda start with a deep dive into Dean Schneider, a Swiss entrepreneur who sold his financial business at 27 to create Hakuna Mipaka—a 1,000-acre animal sanctuary in Africa. They discuss his lion pride (Dexter, Snow, Nyla), the controversy over disciplining a lion, and the challenges of funding a sanctuary without exploiting the animals or compromising integrity. The conversation shifts to bison vs. beef, teriyaki deer jerky, and memories of Tatanka restaurant. Jen shares why she's obsessed with Dean's content, the capuchin monkeys (Momo and JJ), and why feeding lions zebra organs is both fascinating and brutal. Dagda brings up the upcoming Dungeon Crawler Carl tabletop RPG Kickstarter, sparking a deep dive into LitRPG (literary role-playing games), character progression systems, and why Dungeon Crawler Carl is one of the most popular series in the genre. They compare it to Play to Live by D. Rus, debate which apocalyptic world they'd rather live in (spoiler: neither), and discuss the mechanics of skill leveling, affinities, and stat sheets in fiction. It's part wildlife conservation, part carnivore diet talk, part LitRPG nerd-out—classic Conversations Over Coffee. #podcast #deanschneider #dungeoncrawlercarl #princessdonut #kickstart #litrpg #wildlifeconservation #HakunaMipaka Artwork: Aristal Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    A Daring Punishment

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda kick things off with Tide Pod-scented water and tequila stories before diving into the Marvel vs Sony rights battle, corporate greed, and why the MCU's Infinity Gauntlet felt incomplete without X-Men and Fantastic Four. They discuss the death of movie theaters, the rise of streaming, and why Amazon and Netflix are winning the content war. The conversation shifts to Jon Bernthal and his return as The Punisher in the upcoming Disney+ special The Punisher: One Last Kill (May 12). Jen shares her journey from hating Bernthal's douchebag characters to respecting the man behind them—especially after watching his accountability-focused interview with Shia LaBeouf. They also discuss Wind River (2017), the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and Bernthal's roles in The Accountant films. The episode wraps with frustration over Stranger Things' final season, praise for Millie Bobby Brown in Enola Holmes, and a reminder to listen more than we talk. Plus: Walking Dead jokes and Epic Rap Battles references. #podcast #Punisher #JonBerenthal #Marvel #onemoretime Artwork: Pixabay Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    Kraven a KickAss Hero

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda reconnect after a busy couple of weeks to talk movies, Marvel, and one actor who's quietly becoming a powerhouse: Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Jen finally watched Kraven the Hunter (on Dagda's recommendation) and loved it—leading to a full Wikipedia deep-dive into ATJ's career, from Kick-Ass to Avengers: Age of Ultron to Bullet Train and beyond. They discuss why Kraven worked, the Rhino character's mutant origins, and Jen's pitch for ATJ to play a young Tony Stark in a future Iron Man reboot. The conversation spirals into Marvel trivia, 28 Years Later zombie horror, and a detailed breakdown of Chris Pratt's new film Mercy—a dystopian thriller about AI-driven justice, emotion vs. facts, and 90-minute death sentences. It's part film review, part Marvel nerd-out, part criminal justice rant—classic Conversations Over Coffee. #podcast #AaronTaylorJohnson #Marvel #leadingman #Kraven Artwork: MythologyART Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

  6. Future Fears

    May 18

    Future Fears

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda start with something unexpectedly hopeful: beavers—and how reintroducing them can rebuild wetlands, improve water retention, and support healthier ecosystems. That spirals into a practical conversation about micro self-sufficiency, including backyard ponds, sustainable fish-and-plant systems, and what it would actually take to create a small-scale food source at home. From there, the tone shifts into what the title promises: future fears. They talk about the internet as both lifeline and liability, the way media exposure can accelerate harmful behavior, and the unsettling intersections of trauma, biology, and violence—touching on genetics, mineral balance, and even lead exposure. It’s a wide-ranging episode that mixes jokes, real-life observations, and a blunt look at where society feels fragile. #podcast #future #fears #selfsufficient #changetheworld #accountability #sustainablelife Artwork: EvaMichalkova Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

  7. Celebrate Success

    Celebrate Success

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda kick off with snarky pop-culture banter before settling into a simple but surprisingly deep question: how do you celebrate success? Dagda admits he rarely “celebrates” at all, which leads to a conversation about what rewards actually look like after returning to work following a long break. From micro-celebrations (extra game time, snacks, small wins) to real-life practicality (new work clothes, budgeting, reliable boots, and the joy of not doing laundry constantly), they unpack the ways people recognize progress. The episode wraps on a more heartfelt note about why celebrating small victories matters—especially after loss, major life changes, and the stress of re-entering the workforce. #podcast #genx #celebratesuccess #selfworth #worklife #lol Artwork: Kyra_Starr Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    Monster Hunt Anyone?

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda kick off with a weather check, a quick update on balancing work life, and shout outs to international listeners—complete with chaotic (and heartfelt) attempts at saying “thank you” in multiple languages. From there, they jump into fandom news, including renewed hope (and rumors) around a Dresden Files reboot that could finally honor the long-running story arcs. Then Dagda makes his case for Monster Hunter International—bounty-hunting monsters, government payoff systems, outlawed magic, and a protagonist whose first encounter with a werewolf is as wild as it sounds. Along the way, they rant about trailer culture ruining movies, touch on Teen Wolf rewatches and reboot dreams, and wrap with reading/listening recommendations as a better escape than doom-scrolling. #podcast #genx #redabook #LarryCorreia #JimButcher #monsterhunterinternational #stopdoomscrolling  Artwork:FriedeDia Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound
