    Deep in the Heart of Lessons

    Deep in the Heart of Lessons

    Surprise!! We're Back!! After a year hiatus and a lot of soul searching we make our return to the podcast realm and discuss new projects and everything on the horizon. Since we last left you, Nicholas has moved to Austin, TX after a few tumultuous months and situations and talks about the lessons hes learned, Addison speaks about self expectations and we completely lambast the idea of cancel culture and people with a refusal to accept growth and change. (Music: "Heretic's Fork" by Snake Father)

    Don't Wake Me Up If I'm Dreaming

    Don't Wake Me Up If I'm Dreaming

    We truly lived by the phrase "Beware the Ides of March" as we return after a month long hiatus that saw us put March in the rearview. We discuss our faith (or complete lack thereof), Addison talks about being in a committed relationship and almost enrolling in bible college, Nicholas talks the most dreaded month on his calendar, recent anxiety issues, his recent show/travel experiences and feeling out of sorts with a few close friends. We talk last weeks "lost" episode that was more like a lot of us being snippy back and forth and we prepare for next week's big "Ask Addy Daddy" venture. March fucking sucked, but not as much as the band Pillar. (Music: "Lipgloss & Letdown" by A Static Lullabye)

    The Bad News Bearers

    The Bad News Bearers

    At some point in our life, we all get that bad news call that shakes our world. Whether it is the passing of a loved one, a loss of job, or the end of a relationship, we all must find a way to process bad news. This past week, Nicholas received a potential "goodbye" phone call from a friend that rocked his world. We will use this situation to assess the best ways to process bad news and how to cope while you are feeling the process. We also look back at some listener comments regarding last week's episode. This episode is dedicated to our dear friend Brandon Austin. Get well soon, buddy! (Music: "Masquerade" by Brandon Austin feat. Cana Roth-Austin)

    Bros Before Cosmo

    Bros Before Cosmo

    We all have that friend that ditches us as soon as they get a significant other. Why is it like this with certain friends? And how do we speak up about it without causing friction or hurting feelings? We look right to one of the most trusted sources for information on dating and how to approach this...That's right, ladies and gentlemen. This week we consult "Cosmopolitan" to remedy all of our angst. We discuss some past incidents involving our own past significant others and try to assess how we should have better handled these situations. We also read a message from an offended listener ready to give Addison a piece of his mind and use it as an opportunity for growth and seeing something from an alternate perspective. (Music: "Mouth of a Tiger" by Sundowner)

Hit Subscribe!!!

This podcast brings together so many parts of our lives and I love that. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, it’s random. Nick’s sense of humor and outlook never fail to bring a smile to my face or maybe a tear of laughter. Working retail and the general chaos of life. A recent episode pulled at my heartstrings for both of them as they talked about fatherhood. Their topics vary and there is always something for everyone. Thanks for sharing your lives with us and giving us a good laugh!

Randomly good!!

Nick and Addison have hit gold with this podcast! I find myself laughing out loud, tearing up and understanding my anxiety and depression more and feeling less alone with my thoughts. Addison has really brought some real emotion out of me and I enjoy both of them being so vulnerable and true with us. Amazing!
