Just Enjoy It, Already!

Marriage is terrifying. There, I said it. But it is also meant to be enjoyed. And we do it. And by we, I mean Jonathan and Lyndsey. That's right, Jonathan's wife makes her debut on the show to discuss how to enjoy the ever-decreasingly popular institution: Marriage.

Have you even felt embarrassed to admit to liking a movie because of the actor who plays in it? You loved that movie, but water-cooler conversation forbids it! It's time to stop worrying and be proud to love an actor that society says you shouldn't.

Yes! The billion dollar Powerball is upon us, and the winner could be you! No, it won't be you. But it will be someone! Maybe. But if it's not going to be you, you still want to be a millionaire, right? Join Jonathan as he discusses the odds of you becoming a millionaire, and the odds of earning that million in a variety of different ways. Enjoy the pursuit of success...and spend your $2 on something else. 

We've come full circle now in the annual eating cycle. We've been getting fat since Halloween as predicted, through the gauntlet of feasts our holidays demand, and now it's time to shed those pounds! That's right, it's time to get back in shape! Jonathan and Gary discuss what shape to choose, make fun of themselves for getting fat, and discuss ways to get back in shape...and hopefully enjoy it, too.

The New Year is upon us! Can you vow to eat more naturally for your New Year's resolution? Maybe...or maybe not. Listen to this classic episode for a discussion on how natural you can possibly eat. How do you decide what is natural enough? 

Are the holidays so stressful that you can't enjoy them to the absolute fullest? I didn't need to ask. Holiday expectations are so high that it certainly causes a great deal of unneeded stress at times. So Jonathan and Gary are here to help you enjoy your holiday season a little bit more this year. At some point, we have to let some parts of traditions and habits go, and just enjoy this glorious time of year.

Have you ever noticed that few people are more passionate than nerds? And as a result, they really end up enjoying life to a very high degree. Jonathan and Gary discuss how much fun it can be to be a nerd, especially in anticipation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Jonathan and Gary are back to finish the list of things that drive them up the wall! One episode of venting wasn't enough. It didn't solve the problems. So why not try another therapy session? No one was ever cured in one day. Tune in this week to see our progress and together we'll get over some of our rage issues...probably.

Gary and Jonathan have become pretty serious hard researchers over the evolution of this show. Some people are even starting to call us investigative journalists. OK, that's not true...yet. But we did want to take a few minutes and give some shoutouts to some of the sources of our most recent audio clips and inspirations. 

Has our seemingly endless optimism finally broken? No. We were already broken. Remember that part about being 'fellow rage-aholics?' The good thing is that we're 'recovering rage-aholics,' and that means, just like an alcoholic, we need help. This week, that help comes in the form of a group therapy session. So grab your rage-aholic friends, and let's vent about things we can't possibly enjoy...and hopefully help each other through it.

That's right. This Wednesday, in a Special Edition episode, our normally peaceful and zen-seeking podcast for our fellow rage-aholics will finally be confronting rage itself. Each week, we attempt to show you how to enjoy the things that make you angry, but are we expected to enjoy all things? Of course, not. We are rage-aholics after all. Grab your rage-aholic friends and listen this week, as Jonathan and Gary help each other talk through the things that really make us mad. Let the healing begin!

Remember when you counted down to Christmas from December 1st on that calendar full of chocolate? Now those days start in October. Is that something we should embrace? Two words: Black Friday. Oh, yeah. And eggnog, the lights, trees, ornaments...yes. There's a lot to enjoy.

Oh, All-Knowing TSA, what will you bestow upon mankind next? From homogenous x-rays of naked travelers, to offending little-people, to a discussion of the man-bear-pig, we discuss the intricacies of the TSA, our most beloved government agency. Listen. Enjoy. And think about being frisked by that overweight, under-acheiving agent wearing that sweet, sweet uniform.

Remember when traveling involved packing up the handcart, strapping up your boots and following the setting sun? Of course you don't, because you're less than 150 years old. So you should appreciate...and even enjoy...our modern modes of transportation.

Do you have a dream car? Has your dream car been scientifically chosen? If not, you may be chasing the wrong four wheels. Join us this minisode as Gary quizzes Jonathan with data-mining techniques in order to find out what his dream car should be.

Being Broke

Financial crack. It's real, and it's out to get you if you fall on tough times! Beware of scams meant to keep you down in financial ruin. Title loans: NEVER DO IT! And get ready for our next show: 'Being Broke.'

Have you ever been considered "uncool?" Of course you have! You listen to this podcast! In all seriousness, what if I told you that being uncool all those years was really, actually...cool? Is your mind sufficiently blown? It should be. Join us for one of our most inspiring and fun episodes as we discuss our lives of uncoolness and what it means for us as grown-ups.

Did you know we are playing kindergarten games in international waters? Yeah, that's our strategy for transcontinental political dominance. At least it makes for some good chatter.

Have you ever felt deep shame after eating fast food? Have you ever hidden what you did from others? It's time you stop wallowing in your own guilt and shove that fried food down!
