With time being so tight as of recent and real life coming at blinding speeds, it has been hard to find a few free moments to edit and post these episodes. Excuses aside, determination and the dangling of a carrot has led to this publication. This is about disconnection, or at least disengaging. With how polarized we have become, Mike finds it easiest to not step back but step outside of the highly politized world and step into his thoughts. Here we share some of those with you.

Who Wears the Pants

Episode 87

This is a shared episode with Chris' other podcast, Slightly Average in which Mike takes some time to figure out what it is that makes Chris slightly average. This conversation goes from Chris' professional life and what motivates him to things that make him tick. Toward the end, things take an interesting turn.

Episode 86

When looking at areas where an individual can become better, we have this preconceived notion that it is appropriate to be overly combative in order to express our own worthiness. While there are times that this is an appropriate response, it is typically not the correct course of action. So in this conversation we touch on negotiation on ones own behalf.

Episode 85

What is loyalty? This is an interesting conversation, as it is littered with a number of what ifs that we attempt to answer.

Episode 84

When the dog breaks your shit, you get over it. This episode teaches us a few things, one is that Chris is a giant crybaby, and the next is that sometimes, we need to recognize that we just need to vent. Even though we are upset, we still have to choose our words carefully. Complaint and resentment don't do anyone much good, but attempting to understand what has upset us and why can lead to emotional development. Also, don't be a bitch if a game is too hard. Get better!

Episode 83

When we recorded this, the aim was to touch on the necessity of conflict to maintain to maintain a healthy relationship. Hints the topic, Fighting to preserve peace. It degenerated into about a hour of us just hanging out. Mostly social commentary.

Episode 82

This is one of those things that took an unexpected, but pleasant turn as we sat in front of the mics and just let the word vomit flow. After boiling everything down, this is a conversation about trust and letting things unfold. When you trust an someone enough to hire them, you are saying to them, that you understand that they possess the ability to carry out the essential functions of a job and you will allow them do just that. When you play a game, you are trusting in the rules and structures that govern said game. Share your thoughts with us by submitting some hate mail, or by commenting on one of our posts.

Episode

It has been too long since a new episode was posted. That's Chris' fault. With that being said, We don't normally bring something so enchanting, so brilliant to the table... Alas! This episode brings to you, dear listener, a tale of challenge and triumph. A story of perseverance and borderline child-abuse, with just a splash of vomit.

Episode 80

We tried to be a bit more light hearted, then Chris had to stomp his feet like a little baby because his mom bought a car form another car salesman. Mike practices his interviewing of Chris for Chris' other show and they laughed about the whole thing. 

Episode 79

With keys that have been fashioned into fangs the keyboard warrior lies in wait for its next victim... I suppose we are just in a dark place, and are working our way through it. Maybe it is just learning to accept a new world.

Episode 78

We are breaking some new ground, for us anyway, in attempting to open people up to the abandonment of an ideology for the sake of their relationships. For a few weeks now, we have been questioning sanity and the rationality of those who are quick to cut friends off because of political affiliation. We have been baffled by the way people, friends, are turning a blind eye to the truth, in order to crucify someone for questioning the actions of those in our highly polarized world. Finally we promote the concept of respecting the sanctity of the individual and their thoughts. 

Episode 77

Snow storms, school closings and attacks on free speech are the subjects of this episode. Before we began recording this gem, Mike and I had very little contact with one another, but somehow our brains met on the same plane of the multiverse, and we both wanted to talk about the same thing. This episode is sure to piss some people off and we may lose listeners, but for the sake of saying what is right, here you go.

Episode 76

We start this one in the deep dark depths of the internet, with a reaction to the mere description of a video, that sent chills down our spines. We jump right in... Awful. This then transitions into the perceived favoritism of a parent, and how attention can be seen as loving one person more than another. Then finally, we make our way to the voting with your dollar, which we will elaborate on further in our next episode.

Episode 75

Complacency can be a lead weight that drags an individual to the depths of hell, so we have chosen to explore it in this installment of Who Wears the Pants. As we started the conversation we were attempting to unearth what it is that makes people stay. In trudging through that, we stumbled upon the idea of getting fat, metaphorically, and that took us the rest of the way down the road.

Episode 74

So after taking a month off, we jumped into this peach of an episode, and touched on everything from supplement and gun control all the way to how a government should be afraid of its citizens. We also welcomed the newest member of the WWTP family, Chris' bouncing baby girl. This episode does have some political talk, so the warning is out there. This should be out last political episode for a while though. Fingers crossed.

Episode 73

Two men have tricked two women into marrying them this show documents their struggles and triumphs in an attempt to let you, dear listener, know what not to do to keep your special someone around. There is Mike Brodeur, known as the polarizing personality from the Fear the Boot Podcast, who has been with his high school sweetheart for over 25 years. His vulgarity and virtue makes him the the perfect storm of personality. Then there was Chris Parsons, of Entertain the Geeky, who is known for his big mouth and big personality. He has been with his wife/ the mother of his sons for the better part of a decade. So listen carefully to techniques that these two buffoons use to ride the waves of marriage and find out Who Wears the Pants!
