Building something with bare hands and borrowed time isn’t cute—it’s gritty, uneven, and weirdly joyful. We open up about the early days of our DIY show, from watching double‑digit downloads with pride to using Buzzsprout’s first‑100‑days guide as a compass, all while keeping the core promise: honest talk that feels like sitting with friends who actually listen. The conversation travels—city life without a car, budgets that shape choices, and the peace that comes from keeping your home base close when the neighborhood doesn’t always sleep.

We get personal about connection too. Why do so many first dates happen in the dark at the movies when what we really want is eye contact and conversation? We trade that habit for nights that spark curiosity: open mics, small comedy rooms, and even the occasional symphony, with a candid nod to “what do I wear?” jitters. Music threads through everything—one of us grew up on viola, discovered metal, and never stopped chasing that feeling when a song lifts you out of a slump. We talk tunes as therapy, audiobooks as reset buttons, and even poking into faith texts out of curiosity, not dogma.

There’s humor and heat: Bigfoot vs. Yeti gets its playful showdown, and we revisit a tense bar moment about respect—owning what we’d do differently while holding the line on how we speak to each other in public. Then we build forward: a remote part‑time co‑host is in the works (soundboard fans, rejoice), and we’re finally moving into video with a legendary sub challenge. We map logistics—transit over parking headaches, midday timing, competitive‑eater strategies—and line up more food adventures and on‑the‑road reviews. For fellow creators, we share our co‑hosting workflow: light prep, clear themes, and room for the real to happen, plus permission to pivot when the format wants to grow.

If you’re into real conversation, music that moves you, and the messy fun of making something from scratch, you’re in the right place. Tap follow, share this with a friend who loves small beginnings, and drop us a comment with a song, a topic, or a spot you want us to check out. Your ideas shape what we make next.
