We have a very special movie review for the month ofSeptember! The guys are breaking down the Arnold Schwarzenegger 80's action-packed classic: The Running Man! Set in the dystopian future of 2017 (lol...), Ben Richards, our wrongly convicted hero, is sentenced to a game showwhere he will have to run for his life from the deadly stalkers on his trail. Join Kyle and Robert as they ask all of the important questions: How did they make a personalized suit for Arnold so quickly? What constitutes proper chainsawetiquette while riding a motorcycle? Is Dynamo and his Lite Brite suit the lamest villain of all time? In honor of Stephen King's birthday, the guys also do a quick recap of the 1982 book that the movie is based on. Tune in and find out the differences between the book and movie adaptation. As always, thanks for listening!

Kyle and Robert are ready for the 2025 NFL season to begin!But this got them thinking...is the NFL our society's version of the ancient Roman Gladiator battles? This launched the guys into a much deeper topic: How do we view our past actions and how do we think our future selves will judgeour actions of today? Kyle and Robert both cringe over the things they did and said as teenagers, but what will the 2050 elderly versions of the guys think about them now? Let's be honest, our elderly selves are probably hanging theirheads in shame too! Look, it's never too late to think about changing your behavior in the present, because 'now' is the only time you have to make a difference.

Also, please stay tuned to the books and movies segment, aswe discuss next week's Deep Hopic Movie Pick for September 2025! Thanks forlistening!

After a quick recap of the weekend at the Cotton Candy Festival, hosts Kyle and Robert dive into the complex topic ofseparating the art from the artist, questioning whether art can be appreciated independently of its creator. They discuss how ethics and morality evolve over time (you probably wouldn't want to hang out with Thomas Jefferson in the 21stCentury). The guys emphasize the importance of holding artists accountable for their actions and the harm they may cause. At the same time, they discuss the value of incentivizing sincere apologies and offering a path back to social acceptance for those genuinely working to improve. This is easier for Kyle, as all the books he reads are covered in dust and centuries old. However, Robert is considering what to do about his Spotify playlist and new shows he's watching. Ultimately, everyone will likely draw their own boundaries when consuming art created by flawed individuals, and it's up to you to decide your level of support and forgiveness.

This week, Robert and Kyle are reliving their glory days while reminiscing about the wacky and wonderful nostalgia of the '90s and early 2000s. Does anyone else remember having to take their stereo out of the car? Or playing multiplayer video games in person before online gaming? And don't get us started on the nearly inedible school lunches that forced this pair of truants to buy ice cream from the grocery store during 5th period (j/k mom). Tune in and scream some infidelities alongside us as we discuss the power of nostalgia and how we hope to build these types of moments and memories forour children. Thanks for listening!

Back in the 90s, did Robert sign his own permission slip as "Robert's Mom"? Listen and find out on this week's 'Back to School' edition episode!

This week, the guys catch up after a week off from podcasting. Kyle recaps his 15th anniversary trip with his wife and covers all of his favorite and least favorite things (books, beers, fire alarms, and missing cocktail cherries)! Robert reminisces about the good ol' days when $5 and a lifeguard counted as a viable babysitting plan during his childhood summers. The guys discuss family outings to Theme Parks and Zoos and how being a dad changes your workout goals from 'Fitness Magazine Cover Model' to 'Hopefully I can fit into a rollercoaster seat with my kid...!" And just once, can Robert keep Kyle from singing during the breaks? Let us know what you think in the comments!

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss the concept of 'Hustle Culture'. Is this a uniquely American phenomenon? Does 'work ethic' mean something different across the different generations (Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z)? The hosts also discuss a variety of traps and pitfalls with adopting the 'grindset'. Beware of the Hustle Influencers... cold plunges and 20-hour workdays are unlikely to turn you into an overnight success. Be careful not to tie your self-worth to work output or your salary.
