Navigating through a career is hard, and continuing to learn new skills can be challenging. In this episode, we're digging into what it takes the re-skill / skill up to continue to stay relevant in the workplace. Quotes include: "Garet, you know why I bought that bottle? Because it has a hog's ass on it." ---- "I've been challenged in the workplace. I used to work with children, and sometimes I just would wish I had that cattle gun from No Country for Old Men". ---- "Garet: 'Don't ever cut me off. You messed up the qualms intro'... Pat: 'Oh whatever. I'll figure it out later. We'll splice it in or something.'"

061 - SKILLING UP

In this episode we talk about our experiences of dating around, going on many dates in a small period of time, and more. Quotes include: Garet explaining “dating around” to small children: “Here’s the thing kids. Don’t get em mixed up. Imagine if you had multiple tooth fairies, and you called one by the wrong name. Do you think you’ll ever get a buck from that tooth fairy ever again? Never. You won’t even be able to sleep out of so much fear." -----  Pat: "Dating is very very very similar to selling professional services".

060 - DATING AROUND

With the Coronavirus spreading throughout the world, many companies are choosing to send their employees home, where many of them will begin to telecommute. In this episode, we talk about the pros and cons of the telecommuting lifestyle, as well as a bunch of other related and unrelated nonsense. Quotes include: "I believe Congress should sit alphabetically. That way, Mitch McConnell would have to sit next to Nancy Pelosi all the time." ---- "Hey Wuhan, could we maybe not eat bats anymore? How about that?" ---- "Garet, I know you're very comfortable with sexuality."

059 - WORKING REMOTE

We're tackling the same topic as just about everyone else this week - the Coronavirus. We hit on airport searches, retail nightmares, and ethics. Quotes include---- "There are plenty of things you can do where you look back and think you were a fool. Three weeks from now, I could be talking about how I took a shit in an airport the other day. There, I said it.". ---- "I think we should create a tax credit for people who purchase bidets. It's about time America appreciated what those are". ---- "Charmin Ultra executives at this point are probably like 'thanks everyone, but honestly, why toilet paper?"

058 - CORONAVIRUS

In this episode, we discuss household trends, roommates situations, and all of the reasons why Garet and I hate living together. "Living with you makes me want to drink every night." ---- "If I could poll as well as Tulsi Gabbard, I would run for US President". ---- "People don't get good at wrestling by being required to wrestle. They do it optionally, okay? It's a fine line between intramural sports and Anne Frank."

057 - ROOMMATES

Type 2 Fun represents something that you do that isn't necessarily fun in the moment but is gratifying in retrospect. In this episode, we're joined by our friend Brittany to learn more about it. Quotes include: “‘My friend is from Miami.’, “Oh well, Miami has a lot of aesthetic bodies. But not necessarily functional bodies. But yeah, I’m sure your friend is great.’” ----- “You just looked at me like I’m an idiot…”’ ‘Oh my gosh. I’m sorry.’... ‘Oh it’s okay. I am one.’” ----- “Nicholas Cage is my f***ing hero” ----- “‘I’m usually willing to share a bed with just about anybody’... ‘That’s what I say when I go into bars on the weekends.’” ----- “Anytime someone cries in the shower, it probably needs to be classified as Type 2 fun”.

056 - TYPE 2 FUN (FEAT. BRITTANY ALBRINCK)

In this episode we're talking about gossip. We talk about its historical significance and its place in our society today. "Everybody always wants to add a Venn diagram to their analyses, because they feel as though it adds something. But Garet, you're taking this too far" ---- "Garet, true or false, you get a haircut every 21 days." ---- "I feel like we're off to a weird start on this episode. Should we chug this wine?"  

055 - GOSSIP

In this episode, we're chatting about 23&Me, Ancestry.com, and other services that offer customers the ability to understand more about their genealogy. Quotes include: "I'm not talking about self image, self actualization, or family values. I'm talking about pure sex appeal. Would you rather look like Justin Bieber or Ed Sheeran?"

054 - ANCESTRY TESTS

Megan Bellamy joins us to talk about Nice Guys (and Nice Girls). We dig in deep, comparing each other's experiences, and figuring out where these personas come from and how they work. Quotes include: “When I walk into a room, people consistently say things like ‘wow, he must be a really nice guy with a well rounded personality..’ Just kidding. That’s literally never how it goes. They just comment on how tall I am.” ---- “I don’t know. Maybe there are people out there who would say I’m not a nice guy…” “Uh yeah. And one of them is in this room.”.

053 - NICE GUYS

In this episode, we talk about micro-cheating, some of the many different ways it is interpreted by couples, as well as how it can be so uncomfortable for people to experience. Quotes include: “Pat, if I find a gal I can discuss Classic Fiction with naked, you better make me marry her”. ---- "Erotic novels and R&B slow jams aren’t exactly the safest places to go with “platonic friends”. You’d be playing with fire my friend."

052 - MICRO-CHEATING

Platonic friendships can be confusing. This week, Pat, Garet, and Leah talk about how Platonic friendships exist today, if it's possible to be successful in having them, or if they're one big lie. Quotes include: “Great analogy Pat. Relationships are like addictions. And you know what? This podcast is like AA.” ---- “Platonic relationships are less likely to happen for older people. I suspect the reason is because, at that age, your friends are all dying.” ---- "Two thirds of people say they would be willing to sleep with their friend of the opposite sex. So next time you’re at a bar with your friends, look to your left, and look to your right. They both want you."

051 - PLATONIC FRIENDSHIPS

In this episode, we look back on the 50 episodes that have been recorded to date, mention some of their favorites, as well as play clips from each. We get pretty introspective - a break the record for the most conversational rabbit holes explored in a single podcast episode. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

050 - CELEBRATING 50 EPISODES

We’ve recently come to understand a host of different verbs that have entered the realm of dating. Between “orbiting” and “kittenfishing”, we discuss many different odd phrases that have entered the dating lexicon. Quotes include: “Shoutout to our French audience. We love you guys”. ---- “When I go out, I make myself available to women who are on the prowl. I make myself prey, and they are the predator.”---- “Pat, if you’re not nice to me, I swear to God I’ll pour this wine on your skin. It’ll soak in, and you’ll fail Whole30”.---- “We should do an episode while having IVs, as well as catheters. We should Instagram Live the whole thing”.

049 - DATING DICTIONARY

There are loads of interesting research and development in the field of sleep. And because Garet and I know so much about it, we decided to use this episode to explore some of these interesting items. Quotes include: “‘Garet, do you ever wake up in the middle of the night?’, ‘No, I typically just use catheters’”. ---- “Garet, that glass looks like you chewed up a bunch of popcorn and backwashed into the wineglass”. ---- “I’m a grown man, I can take care of myself”    

048 - SLEEP

Tis the season to talk about all the ridiculous things about Christmas and the holiday season. Quotes include: ---- “’I’m not here to fuck spiders’. They say that all the time in Australia Pat. And guess what. The spiders are really big down there” ---- “My old professor used to buy his children rugs from the Middle East… And do you know what else comes from the Middle East? Jesus Christ.” ---- “In Catholicism, you’re either fasting, or you’re feasting.”

047 - CHRISTMAS

Indulge Us, as we explore the rabbit hole of being a member of 21st century society. The endless tunnels of shallow pop culture, ridiculous current events, challenging relationships, and more can be disorienting and confusing. Hopefully, the thoughtful mockery of these things, from the perspective of a couple of young men, will make you laugh at, think critically about, and authentically react to the world around you. We didn't earn your time, but do us a favor and Indulge Me.
