A fun and lively conversation between two guys that grew up across 4 decades through the analog phase of walk-talkie technology, climbing trees, playing outside, collecting trading cards and really cool action figure toys to today where they like to hang 10 on the wave of technology; now both are parents who now get to see the world through the eyes of our kids and love to reminisce about glory days of the world we grew up in…   Hosted by Ausha.

    #101- By the Power of Grayskull… He-Man, HR, and Honestly... Not Bad

    By the power of Grayskull... we did not expect to like this. We went in with rock-bottom expectations after the infamous 1987 version and came out pleasantly surprised. We break down what worked — the action, the visuals, Idris Elba nailing Man-At-Arms, and the nostalgic nods to the original cartoon — and what didn't, including forced humor, questionable lighting, and an Adam/He-Man who felt a little too wimpy for the most powerful man in the universe. We also riff on the movie's "so bad it's good" charm, debate whether the cartoon's monster-of-the-week format beats a two-hour movie, and kick off a list of other 80s cartoons that deserve — or don't deserve — the reboot treatment. Bottom line: not perfect, but genuinely fun. Big, dumb fun, exactly how a He-Man movie should be.

    #100- We Made It to 100 (And We're Not Sure How)

    Episode 100. We didn't plan on making it this far —and here we are. Bret and Josh pull seven clips from the vault, talk about slang that aged badly, G.I. Joe life lessons, first jobs, the Mandela Effect, getting old, vitamins we used to mock, and what two years of showing up actually means. No highlight reel. Just the real conversation. Here is to the next 100!

    #99- Nobody Taught Us This (And Yet We All Know It)

    Booth or table? Do you use the fancy guest towel? How long can your trash cans stay at the curb before the neighbors start talking? Bret and Josh dig into the unspoken rules that govern everyday life — restaurants, waiting rooms, cul-de-sacs, group travel, and more. Nobody wrote these down. Nobody agreed to them. And yet here we all are, following them anyway.

    #98-Why Gen X Got Lied To About Health

    Your brain still thinks you’re 28… but your body completely disagrees. This week, Bret and Josh sit down with veteran trainer Neil Anderson, creator of GPP Fitness and co-creator of RWND Fit, to talk about why so many people over 45 are working harder in the gym and getting worse results. With more than 30 years of experience training people and now specializing with people over 45, Neil breaks down overtraining, recovery, walking vs cardio, functional strength, and why the old “no pain, no gain” mentality stops working after 45. Neil’s trains people of all fitness levels and and ages. His NEW BOOK book Fit AF-(ter) 45 is available at GPPFitness.com.

    #97-Phrases That Mean Nothing

    Bret and Josh break down the weird phrases people use when they have nothing real to say. From “living the dream” and “can’t complain” to “circle back” and “I’ll let you go,” modern life is full of fillers, scripts, and polite escape routes. A funny look at awkwardness, office jargon, forgotten names, and why we all talk this way more than we’d like to admit.

    #96-Why is everything an event?

    A missed personal best, a canceled lacrosse game, and a deep dive into lightning and water safety somehow turn into one realization: nothing is casual anymore. Bret and Josh break down how everything — from workouts to birthday parties to watching a game — has become a full production. There’s planning, coordination, expectations… and apparently charcuterie boards for everything. They talk about why spontaneous hangouts feel weird now, who would absolutely panic if you showed up unannounced, and how modern life got so structured. Also: adult Lunchables might be the peak of civilization. This week’s challenge? Do something without turning it into a whole thing.

    #95- 3 Stars…Vibes Were Off

    When did everything become a review? This week, Bret and Josh get into the rise of rating everything — from restaurants and products to national parks, movies, and even life itself. What started as a helpful tool has somehow turned into a full-time habit. They break down what reviews actually help (and which ones are completely useless), why written reviews still beat star ratings, and how things like hiking trails, Airbnb stays, and even sugar-free gummy bears have all entered the rating economy. Along the way: Busch Gardens, Cedar City food hunts, movie takes, and the realization that not everything needs a score. Because at some point… you have to stop reviewing things and just live them.

    #94-Everyone’s Got a Take

    When did everyone become an expert on everything… immediately? Bret and Josh cover a little bit of everything this week — from 5AM track meets and roller coasters at Busch Gardens, to business trips in Europe and the universal ability for people to have strong opinions on things they just learned about. They unpack how we went from thinking things through… to reacting in real time — whether it’s breaking news, gas prices, or whatever’s blowing up online. Also: why you should trust Josh on the Denver Broncos roster… but maybe not global geopolitics. The real question — are we actually forming opinions… or just reacting faster than ever?
