This week, Robert and Kyle recap childhood in the 80s and 90s. We're betting that most Millennials and Gen Xers will remember the socially acceptable parenting practices of sending your kid to the store to buy cigarettes, keeping the kids outside till the streetlights came on, and forgoing any kind of vehicular safety on long road trips. Join the guys as they reminisce about the whacky stuff grown-ups did 'back in the day'. To quote the great Bobby Boucher: 'Momma...my Momma...Momma says you should listen to the episode."

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the feelings of guilt that parents get about how much time they are able to spend with their children. When life, work, school, chores, and a million other obligations get in the way, how do we ensure there is enough time left on the schedule for our families and ourselves? Is it selfish to spend time on adult-only activities with your spouse, your friends, or by yourself? Does your children's age play a role in the amount of time they need from you as their independence grows? Tune in this week to hear the guys discuss these questions and more. As always, we appreciate you for listening!

The guys are kicking off the New Year with an 80s bombshell! Join Robert and Kyle as they breakdown the hilariously absurd action movie: Hard Ticket to Hawaii! Filled to the brim with all the Knocker Clockin', snake exploding, lethal frisbee throwing insanity that you could possibly ask for in a breezy 90mins. This may be a strong contender for best movie review of 2026 and we've only just started! As always, thank you for listening!

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the difference between quitting too soon vs. burn out. How do we encourage our kids to work through challenges while being careful not to force them into activities that they grow to hate/resent? As parents, we think it's important to help our children build skills like resilience and self-confidence by tackling difficult things. But how do we properly moderate and find that balance while avoiding burnout for ourselves and our kids? Also, did Robert Rick Roll Kyle and everyone else...?

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss having vicarious joy for others. There is no need to treat Success as a limited resource; happiness is not zero sum. We should find joy in others' success and look to them for inspiration that can help us in our lives. Shifting from a comparison mindset to an inspiration mindset will do wonders for your friendships. As always, thank you for listening!

This week, Robert takes us through his recent knee surgery (Happy 40th Birthday) and hobbling around for his holiday break. Kyle gets the *perfect* stocking stuffer (one day early) but he'll have to wait till next year for a new batch of underwear (size: average). Join the guys as they recap crazy family festivities and give a list of their favorite Christmas movies. As always, feel free to reach out to us at ⁠⁠DeepHopics@gmail.com⁠⁠.Thanks for listening!

Kyle and Robert explore the idea of learning styles—personal preferences for how people take in information, such as visual,auditory, or hands-on—and the many models that attempt to categorize them. While these frameworks are popular, the guys discuss major criticisms, including how difficult learning styles are to measure and the lack of strong evidence that people actually learn better when instruction is matched to apreferred style. Research suggests that most of us are naturally multi-sensory learners and that focusing too narrowly on one style may even be limiting. The key takeaway is that effective learning comes from using multiple methods,spacing practice over time, matching the teaching approach to the material itself, and reinforcing understanding by teaching others.
