    Episode 20 - Rolls, Records, and Regional at Best

    This week, we take a trip back to the beginning and revisit one of our favorite memories: Cane's Night. What started as a casual evening of vinyl records, chicken fingers, and Edge of Tomorrow somehow turned into an all-night conversation that neither of us wanted to end. We also relive the chaos of fighting for tickets to Twenty One Pilots' massive one-night-only show in Columbus, talk about the latest progress on our movie script, and discuss the delicate balance between healthy eating and our unwavering devotion to Texas Roadhouse rolls. Elsewhere, Atlas meets with Blake to talk band backing tracks, we survive a cliff-jumping adventure at Lake Whitney, spend a packed weekend bouncing between church, Flower Child, grocery shopping, and Polka Fest, and Olivia shares some recent audiobook reviews including a few controversial opinions about John Green. To wrap things up, Atlas reflects on where he's at professionally, what the future might hold, and we talk about our search for a new apartment before the chaos of summer fully kicks in.

    Episode 19 - Modern Love & Minor Meltdowns

    Today’s episode is a little bit all over the place in the best way possible. We start by reading through some of Liv’s old journal entries from the very beginning of our relationship starting with the concert where we met and our first unofficial date and reflect on what it feels like looking back on a relationship before we knew where it would end up. From there, we get into a deeper conversation about modern dating culture, why we think dating should be an intentional test for marriage rather than a performance, and how authenticity matters more than chemistry alone. We also recap church this morning and the start of a new series on the Holy Trinity focused on God the Father, followed by an extremely passionate discussion about why Panda Express might secretly be one of the best macro-friendly fast food spots out there. Later, we rant about The Devil Wears Prada 2, why we think some movies should stay untouched, and how the sequel completely missed what made Miranda Priestly such a compelling character in the first place. To wrap things up, we talk about the progress on Zenith: Desire, the realities of balancing creative projects with life, and what it’s been like building something meaningful together as a couple. Atlas also opens up about where he’s currently at mentally and creatively in his career, how his goals and passions have shifted over the years, and what it looks like to reconsider the future while growing alongside someone you love. Chapters: 0:00:00 Intro 0:01:51 Dear Diary, I Think I Met My Husband 0:15:12 Compatibility Over Chemistry 0:33:37 God the Father & Orange Chicken 0:35:52 Miranda Would Hate This 0:48:55 The Final Act 0:54:34 Career Paths & Existential Dread 1:06:53 Outro

    Episode 18 - Creating Things that Last

    This week’s episode is all over the place in the best way possible. We celebrate the release of Annex B’s second EP, Oblivion, reflect on making art without chasing validation, and unpack the weird emotional reality of creating things you genuinely care about. We also talk about an experience that accidentally helped reaffirm our film script writing-process, Liv beginning work on a Zenith-inspired book, and why inspiration is sometimes more important than originality. Beyond the creative spirals, we catch up on our trip to Houston, our ongoing housing search before our lease ends, recording acoustic covers in Ennis under intense time pressure, and Liv’s recent audiobook obsession after finishing both Narnia and The Hunger Games. We also have a very real conversation about living with misophonia, the ways it affects our relationship and future fears around it, plus our thoughts on Billie Eilish’s insane Hit Me Hard and Soft 3D experience directed by James Cameron. Basically: art, burnout, books, noise sensitivity, Zillow, and emotional damage. Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:13 - Charting #1 in Our Apartment  5:13 - This Episode Is Somehow Current  7:57 - Your Dream Project Might Still Be Mid  21:11 - Fine, We’ll Just Make It Ourselves Then  29:56 - Stories Born From Stories  35:58 - In Sickness and in Mouth Noises  1:02:31 - Hit Me Hard and Soft and Also in 3D  1:10:24 - Audio Book Olympics & Post-Narnia Depression  1:20:15 - Mother’s Day and Emotional Growth   1:22:51 - The Ennis Sessions  1:27:11 - House Dreams, Apartment Budget  1:31:43 - Outro

    Episode 17 - Anyway, Coop… We Need to Talk

    This week’s episode has everything: kolaches, conflict resolution, Michael Jackson discourse, audiobook slander, White Rock Lake walks, and Atlas spiraling deeper into his movie-writing era. We talk about trying to become the kind of adults who grocery shop with a list, the communication patterns we’ve started noticing in our relationship, and why vulnerability with friends matters more than we think. We also share thoughts on the Michael Jackson biopic, the pressure parents put on kids to succeed, Atlas’ first time watching The Devil Wears Prada, and the books Olivia has been obsessing over this week (plus one she absolutely hated). Also featuring: friendship appreciation, acoustic EP rehearsals, health goals, and an alarming amount of emotional honesty. Chapters: 0:00:00 Intro 0:03:11 Holy Kolaches and Meal Prep 0:06:30 Communication Issues (Remastered) 0:38:28 A Fellowship of Yappers 0:39:54 Moonwalking Into Generational Trauma 0:51:23 Oblivion Is Taking Over the Plot 0:55:46 An Abundance of Disappointment 0:59:58 Cardio for the Girls, Acoustic Sessions for the Boys 1:04:23 Atlas Discovers Fashion Cinema 1:10:28 The Sunday Night Pep Talk 1:19:13 Outro

    Episode 16 - Not a Perfect World, Just a Better Routine

    In this episode, we recap a thought-provoking church message on why a “perfect” society doesn’t quite work in the real world, and share the personal rules we’re building our lives around right now to grow in discipline, health, and faith. We also catch up on meaningful time with friends, talk through a very real (and very expensive) life update, and let you in on what we’re learning about money, priorities, and long-term goals. Plus: grocery dates, current watchlist reviews, a surprisingly productive audiobook streak, and a big update: our movie script is officially in the works! Oh, and somewhere in there… an 18.5 mile walk.

    Episode 15 - Your Mom Needs to Come Pick Y’all Up

    From Easter Sunday at Six Flags to a chaotic weekend in Little Rock, this week had a little bit of everything. We start by recapping the beginning of the week with a fun trip to Six Flags with the Murtha sisters that quickly sets the tone for what becomes a very eventful stretch of days filled with small disasters and car issues that refuse to resolve themselves. By Friday, we make our way to Little Rock where the boys spend time at Oaklawn watching horse races while Liv gets some intentional one-on-one time with Atlas’ grandparents. We have late-night hangouts, unexpectedly amazing tacos, and conversations that somehow drift from current life updates into full-blown childhood nostalgia spirals. We also talk through the more unexpected moments of the trip, including Jake performing in a salsa band as a very committed white boy on trombone. The weekend wraps with meaningful time spent with family, a lot of laughs, and some genuinely sweet conversations that balance out the chaos. And to close it all out, we share a big podcast update: we’ve officially upgraded our setup with new microphones and are stepping into a new era where we’ll start bringing guests onto the show soon!  Chapters: 0:00:00 Intro 0:02:21 Easter, Rollercoasters, and Public Enemy #1 (Teenage Boys) 0:21:08 $0 Parking, $$$ Consequences 0:27:05 Check Engine Light: A Love Story 0:31:58 We Finally Called Saul 0:34:42 She Said She'd 'Shoot the Families'??? 0:47:00 Lucky Number 4 Strikes Again 0:52:48 Couple Goals, Honestly 0:56:10 Forgetful Jake, Unforgettable Tacos 1:02:21 A White Boy Played Salsa and Somehow We Ended Up at Floam? 1:08:10 Southern Tail Talks & Podcast Upgrade 1:14:57 Outro

    Episode 14 - Annex B-roll, Brake Lights, and Bad Timing

    This week had a little bit of everything. We spent most of our time working on visuals for Annex B. Late nights, parking garage shots, and racing the weather to pull everything off. Somewhere in the middle of all that, we took our cat on an office field trip, Liv “accidentally” walked a half marathon, and we had some unexpectedly deep conversations with family that stuck with us. Also… Liv’s car broke. Or maybe it didn’t? We’re still not entirely sure. What started as a “simple fix” quickly turned into a glowing dashboard and a lot of second-guessing. Throw in a rainy shoot, some emotional moments, and a strong opinion or two about reality TV, and you’ve got this week’s episode. Chapters: 0:00:00 Intro 0:04:07 When Your Parents Become Your People 0:10:14 Hugo's Big Night Out 0:14:40 A Lens on Letting Go 0:23:29 Dashboard Christmas Came Early 0:33:40 Timbre & Taillights 0:37:20 Cinemark Membership Evangelists 0:44:40 I Just Went to UPS… Anyway I Walked 13 Miles 0:49:50 Rain, Lights, Action 0:59:10 This Show Tests Our Patience 1:09:35 Outro

    Episode 13 - Balancing Today and Tomorrow feat. Hugo & Willow

    “This week, we reflect on a meaningful Sunday church service and discuss how we’re trying to bring more structure, like prayer, Sabbath, and community, into our daily lives. We share our journey finding a church home and building friendships as young married couples, and Atlas talks business with my dad, which leads into a conversation about our own financial goals as a couple. We also chat about the media we’ve been enjoying. From Breaking Bad and Love Is Blind to Project Hail Mary and Narnia and how it’s inspiring our creative projects. We wrap up by catching up with friends we haven’t seen in a while, all while our cats keep reminding us that interruptions are part of life. 0:00:00 Intro 0:01:19 From Sunday Service to Monday Motivation 0:29:45 Young, Married, and Socially Clueless 0:40:38 Atlas' Next Steps: Father-Son Insights 0:46:48 Saving, Spending, and Not Ruining Our Fun 1:05:21 Entertainment That Actually Entertains 1:17:36 Audiobooks & the Art of Not Boring Yourself at Work 1:19:43 Evenings Well Spent with the People Who Matter 1:21:09 Outro
