  • Grab the Popcorn! Movies at home, or go to the theater?
    Apr 18 2026

    In Iowa we have lots of weird brags. Stand out on the porch to watch a tornado passing by. Grow the biggest zucchini. And who has hit the most deer with our cars. Several of the boys have mostly avoided this calamity, but it's certainly a terrifying and expensive right of passage.

    True to our GenX sensibilities, we have an affinity for actually going to the theater to see movies, even in the streaming age. But in keeping with our GenX tendencies, we also have lots of problems with the modern theater-going experience. How about you - go to the theater or stay at home?

    You might also expect that we have some insightful observations and plenty of complaints about working from home vs. going into the office. Working from home was certainly not a 'thing' for most of our lives, so how have we adapted? What tips do we have for the youngsters who may not understand that going into the office has some benefits?

    Hang in there - we're almost done! For the whiparound we argue about what single food we'd pick if we were trapped on an island. And, yes, John's pick is something that a 10 year-old would choose. Don't worry - it's more interesting than it sounds!!

  • Connect More Live! April 7, 2026
    Apr 8 2026

    Sometimes we've got a lot to say so we need to hop on a LIVE FEED and get some stuff off our chests. March Madness just wrapped up and Joco announces who won the Connect More bracket! We also got caught up on the Artemis II journey around the moon, figured out that WWIII didn't start tonight, and plan our next get-together where we'll try some of the Mexican candy that Ween brought back from San Antonio.
