Send us Fan Mail Gas jumps. War headlines get louder. Work is a mess because the crew is short. And somehow, on a quiet porch, we still find time to laugh about a bird trying to join the show. That is the vibe today: real life first, big news second, and a music rabbit hole that makes the heavy stuff easier to carry. We talk through rising tension around Iran and what it means when leaders start throwing around threats to hit infrastructure. Then we follow the money trail into oil markets an...

Send us Fan Mail We hang out on the porch and let the week unfold, from overtime stress and rough headlines to a music rabbit hole that brings the 80s back with a modern edge. Along the way we laugh at band names, call out overplayed songs, and end with a food rant that somehow turns into philosophy. • porch time chat about work, overtime and a new boss learning the ropes • quick reactions to Hawaii flooding and ongoing Middle East conflict • discovering Confess from Sweden ...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever confidently belted out a lyric only to find out you were wildly wrong, you’ll feel seen here. We’re back on the porch with wind, neighbors, and the kind of unfiltered catch-up that starts with work, dehydration, and the small victories that actually matter, like finally getting disability and Medicare approvals that take pressure off the family budget. Then we head straight into music stories that stick. One of our favorites is a Clay Walker moment that sounds...

Send a text The score said blowout, but it felt like a slow bleed. We kick off with a Super Bowl that hinged on field position, a pick six, and a defense doing the heavy lifting while the offense vanished—then admit the most compelling football might have come earlier, in a Rams vs. Seattle clash that had true championship energy. It’s a frank, funny, and slightly bruised debrief that any fan who’s lived through a flat title game will recognize. From there we push into the conversation so ma...

Send us a text Snow piles up, the studio sits quiet, and we refuse to miss a week. We hit record across a phone line and dive straight into the heart of winter life: a weekend of football that swung from gripping to grueling, a city wrapped in powder, and the odd rituals that take over every grocery aisle and gas station queue. It’s unpolished, real, and full of the kind of moments that make you nod, laugh, and occasionally yell at your speaker. We start with the slate everyone watched and t...

Send us a text You know that moment when a new sound hits and your brain says, “Wait, why hasn’t this existed forever?” That was us discovering country metal. We stumbled into Cody Parks and The Dirty South and found a blend that keeps country’s storytelling soul while borrowing the horsepower of 80s and 90s metal. Think big hooks, bigger riffs, and lyrics that still smell like dirt roads and late nights. We walk through how this band built a lane—starting with sharp, respectful covers and m...

Send us a text The rain is steady, the porch is alive, and season three kicks off with our favorite kind of chaos: honest laughs, sharp pivots, and a plan to make this the most personal run yet. We start with football—bye weeks, “easy” schedules, and the odd hangover of overseas games—then acknowledge the truth every fan knows: you still have to win the ones in front of you. From wildcard predictions to those late-night Sunday kickoffs that ruin Monday mornings, the NFL talk sets a fast, fami...

Send us a text Holiday cheer meets porch-chaos honesty as we light up the season with sunshine, BBQ talk, and the kind of tangents only two old friends can justify. We kick off with Rupert’s wry preamble, then slide straight into football plans, the fallout from a “takeover” that left our studio sticky and suspicious, and the comfort of being off work even when you know the restart will hurt. Warm weather doesn’t kill the spirit; it just changes the soundtrack. Music and movies become our ma...

Send us a text What happens when two holiday agents of chaos barricade a studio and decide to host their own “festive special”? We crank the mics, ditch the plan, and turn December into a glittering avalanche of bits, banter, and questionable wisdom. It’s a rogue broadcast where the only rules are “don’t press the big red button” and “we already pressed it.” We charge through the season’s soft spots with reckless cheer: fruitcake as a friendship test, tinsel as household glitter you never es...
