Recent Episodes
June 26, 2026
Ep. 283 – My God, I'm Famous!
The hosts discuss Erik and Dennis missing a week due to illness, then riff on recent political news and optics around Trump and JD Vance, including Vance’s awkward foreign-trip moments, Trump’s transparency about taking credit and shifting blame, and how staff manage Trump’s exposure to boos and media. They contrast Trump with Obama and mention the World Cup crowd-mocking concern. The conversation pivots to nature and trees, including the interconnected aspen colony Pando and the book The Understory, with darkly comic asides about bugs and decay. Erik recounts an Amsterdam conference trip featuring a hotel booking mix-up resolved by a helpful manager, a visit to Boom Chicago, observations about Amsterdam cannabis “coffee shops” and lack of THC labeling, a movie set at the Comedy Cellar, and an invite to a Soho House gathering with a billionaire AI founder before drinks in the Red Light District. Dennis closes by describing The Mojo Riot’s packed biker-night show at The Dock in Richland, the big stage, kids dancing near the band, a tambourine incident, and playing more loosely, ending with lyrics from “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.”

Ep. 282 – Who Washes The Washers?
The hosts discuss Erik's tech conference in Portugal, describing travel to Coimbra, a shipping-container “box” hotel, and stumbling into the university’s huge graduation party with floats, capes, heavy drinking, and chaotic streets. Erik shares two customer-service contrasts: a local shopkeeper who let him take a beer on trust despite having no cash, and a restaurant that took two hours to serve goat stew. Dennis then recounts buying tiny washers at a hardware store and debates returning an extra one, plus home-sale renovations involving uncovering/downsizing a window potentially blocked by a split AC unit. Dennis also details The Mojo Riot's successful pre-show gig in Grand Rapids that grew from a sparse start to 200+ people, crowd banter during “I Wanna Be Sedated,” brief politics commentary, and TV/film talk including “Half Man” and “Saltburn,” ending with Erik’s upcoming Amsterdam trip.

Ep. 281 – Through the Screw Hole
The hosts discuss Erik and Dennis catching up on their busy weeks, including Dennis’ band gig at the Old Dog Tavern with a big, energetic crowd, and Erik’s packed weekend in Spain: seeing a play in Bilbao, playing a rainy low-tide beach golf tournament, and joining a long muddy forest hike outing with lessons about oaks, beech trees, and holly seed germination via birds. Dennis describes home projects sealing and adding a recycled door under a deck, plus mishaps with a drill tearing their shirts. They share odd body experiences like cramps cured by pickle juice and Erik’s disorienting wake-up “teleportation” feeling. Erik previews a Portugal conference and a no-frills “sleeping box” hotel, recommends Apple TV+’s “Widow’s Bay,” and Dennis praises HBO’s “Half Man.” They then critique Trump-era corruption, tariffs, foreign posturing, GOP succession talk, eroding support, and the need to curb executive power, before ending with Dennis singing and a friendly sign-off.
