TTBB 106 - Get Your Ducks In A Box

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2023/03/12

Joel and Steve - because of their undying love for and dedication to their fans (not because of their need to hear themselves talk) - convene to produce More Content! They discuss Joel's 2nd guest appearance on the "Less Than 2000" podcast, which is a good time in and of itself, to talk about the band Tool. They also endorse Bob Rauner for LPS School Board - who you should totally vote for if you're a fan of schools teaching things like facts. There is also a brief sports discussion - apparently

2023/02/27

Joel and Steve teach old dogs (themselves) new tricks! Joel is swimming with Doc Brown, and Steve is singing Mozart! (Really!) They also reminisce about a concert neither of them attended - today is the 50th Anniversary of the one time the Grateful Dead played Lincoln, NE. No one's noticed but the band's all packed and gone - were they ever here at all?

TTBB 104 - I Don’t Care About Any Of This

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2023/02/19

Steve attempts to bait Joel into an hour of just bashing on Fox News and its followers in light of the recent 'Big Lie' revelations, but Joel isn't having it - which probably makes for a better podcast. They end up talking about other things, like the fact that Steve has never watched the 'X-Files', The Coffee House (at 1324 'P' Street in Lincoln, NE), and why do people still have Twitter accounts. Joel also gives a shoutout to the new play "Predictor" by Jennifer Blackmer, put on by the Angels

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2022/12/04

Joel and Steve reconnect after yet another absence from each other, and from you - their faithful listeners! Joel went to Denver for work, and while there got to experience the maelstrom of jubilant electric mayhem that is Andy Frasco and the U.N., who have been Steve's favorite 'new to him' musical act since seeing them last summer. Steve has been turned on to the books of Bruce Wagner. They are horribly dark, but also very entertaining. Steve, after some resistance, has also started watching
