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!

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

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2022/10/31

Joel and Steve are so dedicated to you - their loyal listener - that they power through and create some content despite the fact that their entire production crew didn't bother to show up.

Joel also does *not* review a live theater show he saw the night before. Spoiler Alert -

Joel and Steve do their 2nd Annual 'Live from Kansas City' podcast! This time they are recording prior to going to see Roger Waters at the T-Mobile Center. (And also prior to the culinary bacchanal that is Minsky's Pizza!) Steve just got back from a three-day music festival in Chicago (his first), so they de-brief on that situation. The highlight was Phil Lesh playing with Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline from Wilco! The low-light was the third day getting essentially shut down by lightning. That

TTBB 86 - F*@# Your Feelings!

Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve ·

2022/08/26

Joel (shockingly) has an issue that needs to be unpacked. It turns out words can be hurtful (even if not intended to be so) - and that people's feelings *are* valid.
