About this listen

This "friendship podcast" features conversations between close friends that remind us of our responsibilities to ourselves and our communities. As friends, we hold each other accountable, lift each other up and remind each other of what’s important. Life is challenging and being a father, husband, parent, employee, business-owner, etc. takes so much consistent effort. We need reminders of why its important to get back up and keep going. As men, sometimes it can be challenging to maintain close friendships and communities around personal growth as we age. It takes a real effort and many of us prioritize this part of ourselves last. This podcast is our way of staying in touch with each other, even though we live in neighboring countries and live different lives. We value our friendship and its role in our individual development as people. These talks allow us to support each other, hold one-another accountable and be sounding boards for each other's lives.© 2025 Doug Powell, Ian E.

    Feb 24 2026

    Happy Black History Month!

    Here's a look inside of this episode:

    The Check In: The fellas discuss New Year's Resolutions. Doug talks about 'moving his balls,' whatever that means and Ian talks about the benefit of setting daily intentions. The guys discuss whether or not the Winter Olympics is 'White People Stuff' or more of a geographic tradition. They wrap up this segment discussing the power of writing things down.

    Outro: Ian plays a very special recording of "Lift Every Voice & Sing" sung by none other than his daughter.

    Till Death Do Us DIY: In one of Ian's latest segments, he reads a story of a couple in the midst of a renovation project and the fellas discuss whether or not the couple's relationship will survive the project.

    Nobody Told Me: In our second addition of this segment, the guys offer elder words of wisdom to the youth of the world.

    Which Side Of The Border: Everyone's favorite podcast gameshow where the fellas, mostly Doug, have to decide whether the crazy story they've just heard took place in Canada or the US

    Feb 24 2026

    Welcome to Episode 20 of Have I Told You Lately!

    In this episode, Ian shares his recent shopping adventures, which include his bewilderment at someone wearing "anime-style" contact lenses and the consistency with which he seems to trigger a "zone check" alarm every time he enters a store. Doug shares a recent conversation he had with his daughter about race in America.

    We introduce a new segment in this show. It's referred to as "New Balance" by Ian, but he has since changed the segment name to "Nobody Told Me." This segment gives us older fellas a chance to impart some wisdom onto the younger generation. Today, Ian shares a few clips from the internet with some hot takes, such as: Should men touch each other more? and Should men sit to pee?

    As we do, we'll end this episode with a session of "Which Side of the Boarder," the gameshow where Doug has to guess whether someone's outrageous behavior happened in Canada or the US.

  • White Boys Eat Bread (Using Humor to Overcome the Boundaries of Social Acceptance)

    Today's episode begins with a discussion about online streaming services and how convenience is shaping our culture in a variety of ways. Ian talks about the importance of owning a car between men and women in society. The fellas then discuss how providing social security in the form of individual retirement lessens the need for all of us to become independently wealthy.

    Subway Takes (Takes) - The fellas watch an episode of the popular internet show 'Subway Takes' and give their take on the topic.

    The Sunken Place Video - Ian shares an internet video that freaked him out to see if Doug feels the same.

    Which Side Of The Border - The guys end today's episode the way they often do by playing everyone's favorite US/Canadian game show.
