It's a Thanksgiving miracle! Point by Point re-emerges from the depths with an episode we've been sitting on since April: our deep dive into Enneagrams! Also a few other random things, you know the deal. Steve jokes about a late summer release, which we wildly outperformed by releasing in November! We learn all about our Enneagrams! Steve's a 3! I'm a 5! You'll know what that means if you listen! A special guest helps! We discuss enormous working men hands, aka, Saucy Paws! JP talks about whether he wants to keep doing improv! Spoiler from the future, he’s still doing it! We just barely vaguely spoil Avengers: Infinity War, but only if you listen very closely!

Point by Point

Episode 25: Saucy Paws, a Chili Company for Dogs

This week, our main topic revolves around mentors, but ultimately lands on personality traits we inherited from our parents and how different we are from them. We also speculate wildly about: Underpants Inspiration finance gurus Generational signifiers Authoritarian governments Modern art SPOILER WARNING: At about 32:00, we spoil 10 Cloverfield Lane

Episode 24: That's a Cheese Board

This week, we’ve talk about a topic fans of the show have been asking us to talk about for awhile: Our finances. Within our main topic, we talk about: The difference between having a budget and forecasting What tools we like and use to manage our finances What we've tried in the past but haven't enjoyed Financial freedom Why people don't want to budget

Episode 23: Tickle Me Interested

We're releasing a pretty late one! This one was about black panther, our trip to Arizona, being rusty, eating poorly, and God's mistake in letting Adam name everything.

Episode 22: Cactapus

Alright, alright… we admit it. We’ve been totally off our game lately, and this one came out way later than we had hoped for, but exactly when we’d predicted. But, we don’t talk about the show in the show notes so move along now… This week, we speculate a bit about what makes a movie good for the theater, whether movies have gotten worse in spite of the surprising number of great movies that came out in the last year, and if movies on the average are getting more average. We talk about the overall moviegoing experience and what might help to make it better. We also briefly touch on some snacking strategies, some sneaky theater tricks for increasing revenue, and reveal a deep, dark secret about JP’s movie-going habits. We then discuss an absolutely insane trans-continental race that involves a ridiculous amount of speeding across the country in a little over a day and a half. JP shares a bit about one of his New Year’s Resolutions — to learn Japanese. Steve learns nothing.

Episode 21: They All Sound Insulting

Cold opens! Steve fixed his Switch, but continues to break his tea kettle! Personality assessments - myers briggzeees, banagrams? enneagrams? pentagrams?! Steve's new favorite twitter handle: @moonpies! @arbies twitter handle is so geeky! cheeky geeeky! Carter needs his nuggs! The 5 love languages are back! You can't stop them! Usher - i don't mind! What don't you mind! Discuss?!

Episode 20: I’m almost always wrong, but I always feel right

Boy! What a week. JP and Steve talk about a lot of things, including the new Star Wars movie... although they don't spoil it, really, they do make some great spoiler horn noises. The conversation moves from holiday plans and what we both got as presents into JP asking Steve about whether or not he feels brands are necessary... and wow, did he step on a landmine! We get into talking about Apple, whether or not they were successful without Steve Jobs, how the brand continued through the Next era and into the return of Steve Jobs, and whether or not Apple is still innovating. Spoiler: One of us says yes, and the other is skeptical. YOU'LL HAVE TO LISTEN TO KNOW WHO!

Episode 19: Untitled Episode

Episode 18: Jokes about magic beans

Topics this week range from a super secret surprise, to the best mashed potato recipe... and we question whether or not we could stomach a horse. If this feels like two podcast episodes rolled into one, it kind of is. The computer crashed in the middle of recording so we had to recover some data, reset, and start over... but the second half has a great surprise. Hoot Hoot! We talk about something good we saw, or read, or listened to in the past few days that we enjoyed. It really rolls off the tongue. No, but really — we talk about our favorite thing we did/watched/read in the last three days.

Episode 17: Wildly Inappropriate for Grandma (or... Runaway Train, Runaway Track)

This week, we talk about Steve's new job, a would you rather, the need to read, and some of our favorite recent things. We talk about the desire to work, reading more for fun rather than a goal, how long steve is willing to talk in a werner herzog accent, and a couple of picks: "What is the Bible" by Rob Bell, and "Thor: Ragnarok" by a thousand people. Also JP accidentally swears for maybe the first time, and he's sorry.

Episode 16: We're All Living in George Washinghands Nightmare

This week, we talk about what it means to not only be the hero in our own story, but also the small and insignificant parts we play in other peoples’ stories. Why do we tend to forget that everyone around us has an complex and interesting life? We also talk a lot about empathy, and question why it’s easy for us to empathize with some emotions and not others. For example, at least for us, it’s harder to empathize with an angry person than a sad person. We talk a bit about Inside Out. If you haven’t seen it, please do. It’s very good. JP’s Media Diet * Bladerunner 2049 * Eat that Frog * Star Trek: Discovery Steve’s Media Diet * Intercom on Product Management * Inspired: How to Create Products Customers Love * Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Usability

Episode 15: Nineteen Cats Named Christopher

This week it's the gut busting topic everyone loves: soul searching. Can you feel the humor radiating from those words? Steve talks smack about gluten free food, we search our souls until jp can't handle his emotions anymore and we run the religious gamut from the ancient egyptians to modern scientology. We truly go... point by point.

Episode 14: Little Chunky Anubi

This week, we surprise everyone and spoil exactly zero movies! We talk about Steve's trivia experience, JP's knowledge of the Simpsons, Boy Scouts relaxing their gender requirements to allow girls to join, and web accessibility. Huzzah! This week is also the official launch of our Facebook page — Not sure what kind of shenanigans that will bring... more to come.

Episode 13: 40 Days on Noah's Dream Boat

Hey! It's (a week after) Halloween! So spooooooky! This week we play monopoly and talk about what Halloween means to us. Sorry for the belated episode. But we feel you've now cleared your palette in anticipation of our halloween spoooooky stories. That aren't exactly spoooooky but mostly just halloween related life expeeeeeeriences and meeeeemmmmmooorrrrrieeess. Also throughout the whole episode we play monopoly. We love you!

The Halloween Spooctacular

This week, we discuss our childhood! Kind of. Turns out it was mostly just playing video games and watching the Simpsons. Steve teaches randos how to use garage band. JP can't sit still long enough to play a video game. A homeless man and a car at a stoplight share a magic moment. WOW! Spoiler: We're big nerds.

Episode 12: Schrödinger's dude

A weekly podcast with JP Camara and Steve Carroll — where we consider life's questions, something, something, something, and spoil a movie.
