  • Type 3 Fun and the BBL Smell

    Type 3 Fun and the BBL Smell
    Aug 13 2025
    NED HEADS! In this episode, we dive into a candid and wide-ranging conversation about the highs and lows of podcasting, hiking, and everything in between. From the ridiculous to the reflective, we share our personal stories—from a brutal hike that pushed, to unexpected lessons learned in the most unlikely places (yes, even Disneyland). We unpack the different types of fun, including the elusive and often painful Type 3 fun—those experiences that suck in the moment but somehow become meaningful over time. Along the way, we explore how shit talking among friends is actually a form of love, how nature and physical challenges shape personal growth, and why preparation can make or break an outdoor adventure. Things take a deeper turn as we reflect on mental health, the importance of self-acceptance, and how some choices in life (and surgery) can leave a lasting… impression—cue our cautionary yet hilarious take on the infamous BBL smell. Whether it's finding humor in hardship, confronting personal fears, or simply sharing stories that bond us, this episode reminds us that life is messy, funny, painful, and unexpectedly beautiful.

  • Missed Flights and Opportunities

    Missed Flights and Opportunities
    Jul 23 2025
    Ned Heads! This episode is a rollercoaster—just the way we like it. We kick things off by debating whether morning or evening podcasting makes us more chaotic (the answer will surprise no one). Then it’s story time: we trade travel nightmares, production meltdowns, and what happens when you try to co-direct without losing your mind (or your friends). We also open up about some deeper stuff—like navigating body image in Hollywood, the weird pressure to stay forever young, and how refreshing it is to embrace aging naturally. Plus, a shout out to the badass women crushing it in sports. It’s honest, funny, thoughtful, and full of those feel-good moments that remind you you're not alone. Thanks for tuning in!
