Episode 30 (the one recorded on Daniel's phone)

Greetings, again, listeners! Yeah, we know. It took us a very long time to finally upload this one. You know how it goes... sometimes life throws little things in your path, one after another, just to distract you. :)

This episode was recorded with one of our regular USB microphones plugged into Daniel's phone. It didn't turn out too horribly. Next time we'll use the other mic, it might sound better.

We talked about our run streaks this time. And old family traditions. And we reminisced a little.

Overall, a really low-key atmosphere for episode number thirty. You hear that?, episode number thirty!! Other podcasts die out after five or ten episodes, but not us! :D

Episode 29 (songs, phones, bigfoot, and some other random stuff)

Ok... so... it's been a while. Sorry. :)

In this episode, we talked a little bit about a bunch of stuff. Songs, phones, bigfoot, and other random stuff that I honestly don't remember what we said. I'll need to listen again. I'm pretty sure each of us said things that probably should be edited out, but... whatever. :)

Episode 28 (Oregon trip and eclipse)

It's been a long time since we last recorded! This time we talk mostly about John's trip to Oregon, and Daniel's eclipse campout.

Sorry about the weird mic noise... when John has had a couple of drinks, he starts playing with it instead of just talking into it. :)

Episode 27 (serious talk about "yeti," if you know what I mean)

Hello, listeners! We love all of you!

In this episode, we joke a little about some things. Then we get serious and talk about people who refuse to even consider ideas that challenge their own established ones... like yeti with red-brown hair instead of white hair.

Hopefully, John's vacation goes well! Come back in one piece so we can do episode 28 when you get back. :)

Email us and give us something to talk about. You're joining us on our side of the road, so you can participate a little more in the conversation. :)

Episode 26 (well.. Episode 25 part 2)

One quick note: Between the time that John drops his mic and the studio dog Bruno knocks some stuff off the table, John's mic cuts out. He sounds a little distant because it's just Daniel's mic picking him up about five feet away. Sorry. Daniel will duct-tape the mic connections next time. :)

This episode we continued our conversation that we started last episode (the long conversation that was lost when... well... you know... you've seen the Facebook post about how we lost that one episode).

We discuss things like post-apocalyptic society, musicians who don't look like what they sounds like, and things Daniel just can't go along with.

Episode 25, for reals this time (well... part 1)

For those of you who saw the facebook post, you'll know that the last time we tried to record episode 25, it failed. This is our second attempt, and it worked! (mostly) We had to record in a different location, so it sounds a little different. But it's done, and we're running with it! ...Well... Part 1, anyway. :) We'll get part 2 recorded soon.

In this episode, we talk about what we'd do with limited time left (a day, a week, a month, a year).

We also talk about larping.

Episode 24 (bucket lists)

Greetings, Listeners! In this episode, Daniel started out by talking about a good family reunion he had. And thennnnnnnnn...

Someone asked for it, so we delivered! This episode we talk a little bit about our respective bucket lists. We talked about the Ford '05 GT, a Camaro, visiting a haunted place, living in Oregon, having a quiet nature anti-civilization bubble space, working on the ocean, and learning German.

During that time, we also got distracted talking about the peeing scene in Get Smart, a "dolphipegasunicorn" drawing, the floppy disk drive save sound, Michael McDonald, meditating and basic training, and a little bit about our next episode.

If you have any complaints, suggestions, praise, or money, you can send it to us via email, facebook, or in person.

Episode 23 (from wet shoes to shaving)

Welcome, listeners! This episode, we discuss such deep and philosophical topics as running with wet shoes, a toilet thump, noun genders, hydrogen engines, life achievement pins, and shaving. All your wildest dreams will come true.

Episode 22 (lovin' Chinese, satin, R movies, and some more sponsors)

Greetings, listeners! In this unscripted episode 22, we stumble along talking about:
- a woman who sounds like she really likes listening to people talk Chinese to her
- squeezing satin (not a euphemism)
- some R movies
- some not-R movies
- some running of races
- and some new sponsors.
We also somehow manage to start talking about boobies here and there... not sure how...

We're going to try to get a new computer for recording (have everything ready, except for the money☺). And we're going to try to stay seated so that it doesn't sound weird.☺

Here is the great Khan, with the famous line that Daniel tried to quote:

Episode 21 (sasquatch, Yahoo Serious, batbadger, boobies)

Hey, thanks for joining us again this episode! We didn't notice your smell at all. :)

This episode we talked about a bunch of stuff: pretzels, folklore, cryptids (like sasquatch and chupacabra), Yahoo Serious, M. Night Shyamalan movies, the famed batbadger, and we mentioned boobies once.

Episode 20 (yesterday, today, tomorrow, and pho)

Hey, esteemed listeners! We finally got out another episode! And, guess what?... It's episode 20! (a fact that we totally didn't think to mention in the audio)

This episode is primarily about a topic called "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow." And we talk about pho, too.

Anyway, I wasn't quite so picky about adjusting the volume on every little spike this time, so it's being released only two days after we recorded! We hope you enjoy it.

Episode 19 (snacks, other places, and running)

Wow. I think that's the longest I've taken to finish cleaning and uploading an episode! That's embarrassing!

As a special treat for being so patient with us, you get to listen to us talking about our favorite snacks. And you get to listen to us eating our favorite snacks! Wait... where are you all going? You don't want to hear... wait, come back!

We had a lot of fun with this episode. And that's the only reason we're doing it. Do what you love, even if it gives other people the heebie-jeebies, right? :)

Episode 18 (favorite places)

Welcome, folks! We had a lot of fun recording this one. We talk about our favorite places in our house, our town, the Treasure Valley, and Idaho. We also tease about other states as well.

Below is some stuff that we talk about in the episode. If you have a favorite place, let us know! Email us, or comment on Facebook.

This is John's Hungry Ridge photo. Looks too good to be real.


Here is a view northward from Daniel's current favorite trail to hike; and the one ugly thing mentioned:

One correction, though. On Google Maps, the earliest imagery you can see it in is from 2013, not the 90's. :)

Here's Pacific City. Looks like a good place to visit.


Here is the rocky corridor from Daniel's second favorite hiking spot, with a view of the river behind you:


Here's Indian Creek ("Indian Ditch") running through Kuna. It's a relaxing place to visit.


Here's that video of that dude who didn't realize that everyone and their dog could hear the pr0nlolz on his computer:

Episode 17 (snow wrecks, misc, running, and strumming)

Hey, kids! It's that time again!

We hope you enjoy this episode at least as much as when someone says, "Oh, you don't have to pay for that, it's free!"   :)

Episode 16 (big trucks, little weeners, positivity, and streaking)

That's right, folks! Music from Purple Planet is way better than my guitar shirt!

Welcome to Episode 16, esteemed listeners! No guests this time. But, that's ok. We're here, and you're here. And that's all we need. :)


(click here to just download the audio manually)



Music was from Purple Planet Music, which was of slightly better quality than my guitar shirt. Trust me on this.

Episode 15 (mom fans, running streaks, Phil Harris, and scary stuff)

First of all, a little correction: It was Little John, not the rooster, who used the voice of Phil Harris. Robin Hood (1973) also used a lot of animation straight from The Jungle Book (1967) as well. For example, Lady Kluck does the same exact dance moves as King Louie (with Little John/Baloo).

So, anyway, welcome to episode fifteen! Boldly hanging around on the side of the road, without any preset topics of discussion! Like champs!

Episode 14 (movies, boobies... oh, and Mr Garrison, too)

Welcome, esteemed listeners!  We recorded ourselves again.  This time we had a special guest!  Mr. Garrison joins us this time, to talk about side-of-the-road stuff!
(this time we checked to make sure we were using the right audio input!)

Episode 13 (Thanksgiving, music notes, communes on TV, and handsome dudes)

Hey, esteemed listeners! Episode 13 is finally up! This one took me a couple of days to upload. Sometimes I listen to the whole episode before I upload it, sometimes I don't.

We hope you enjoy this episode. Email us with questions or comments or selfies. :)

Episode 12 (movies, comic books, cussing robots, anxiety and depression, piano)

Welcome, listeners! You brighten our day! Recording our little podcast brightens our day, too! Take a break from negative influences, and join us on our side of the road again. This episode, we discuss a couple of good movies; we reminisce about comic books; we talk about making technology say naughty words; we get a little serious talking about anxiety and depression; and we listen to my 80-something-year-old grandma goofing off on a 9-foot grand piano.

Episode 11 (our Halloween special!)

Greetings, esteemed listeners!

It's our All Hallows Eve episode!, where we sit out on the porch in the cool evening air and talk about stuff. We give candy to kids, tell stories, play spooky recordings, and take off our socks and shoes! Wait... no, we leave our socks and shoes on for this one.

Yes, I know, Gwen is a Welsh name, not Germanic. :D

Episode 10 (hypnotism, hiking, Old Voight, and those poor SUV's)

Tenth time's the charm! It's been a long time, but we recorded ourselves again!

Episode 9 (recommitting, cats, Ting, and heels)

Episode 9 is up! Here's what we say you should do: Recommit to running, take a stray cat to the pound, switch to Ting, and take it easy on the high heels, and then...

Episode 8 (bug bites, ball crushing, losing kids, and puking)

Hey, Episode 8 is up! Back to the other mic, for a slightly better sound. :)
Sorry, we forgot to take a picture of John's garden... so... no picture here. :( Maybe next time.

Episode 7 (dreams and butt holes)

Hey, it's that t###me again, k##ds!

I just want to apologize for the audio (as represented by the hash marks above). I thought I brought a better mic to the studio. After I took the recording home, I discovered that the mic we tried wasn't any better. In fact, it was worse. It made all the louder sounds sound crappy. So... it goes without saying that we're not gonna use that mic again. Ever.

This episode, we talk about some dreams. And some other stuff. Enjoy! (at least try to enjoy it, despite the mic)

Episode 6 (bathroom repairs and songs with feels)

'Sup, folks! Here we are again, with another episode! Welcome to our side of the road!

This time we talk about bathroom repairs, Seven Devils, and songs that get you in the feels. Is there one song that gets dust in your eye? Let us know in the comments, or email us.

We're going to be recording for some home-made music clips (for the beginning and end of the episodes). This one gives you just a little taste!

Episode 5 (Oregon driver, McDonalds, chickens, garden, ninja)

There! It's done again! Episode 5 is all hot and bothered! No, wait... I mean it's all hot and ready, like a pizza! Now get back to work. :)

(or just click here to download the audio file)

Episode 5... is gonna be a couple more days. :(

Sometimes things happen. Shower faucets leak, causing shower floors and stalls to need to be replaced. Homework is due. Employer wants you to show up for work if they're gonna pay you. Gear shifters decide to not move out of "Park". You know, regular stuff.

Don't worry!

Episode 5 is all recorded. I just need to finish cleaning up the audio a little, and then I'll upload it. Until then, head over to Librivox and subscribe to a nice public-domain audio book. I recorded some stuff over there. They have some gems. :)

Episode 4 (Eagle Road, pistol holes, large poops)

This is episode 4 for reals, yo! Or is it "fo reals"? Anyway. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for listening! Episode 4 of our Side of the Road Podcast is up! Daniel stayed up late to make sure it was de-essed, volume-adjusted, noise-reduced, uploaded, and was free of saturated fats!


(or just click here to download the audio file)

Next episode delayed.

Folks, the two-week deadline we decided upon has caught me by surprise again. Sorry. The good news is there's an episode already recorded, sitting on my computer at home. It just won't be until Friday or Saturday before I finish cleaning the audio and upload it. Wish me luck! God speed. Yes, add cheese for fifteen cents more.

Episode 3 (bad drivers, Frasier, movies)

It's that time again, kids, episode number three! Listen to us say some words and make sounds with our mouth holes. Thank you for listening, be sure to tell your acquaintances that you listen to our podcast, maybe they'll get you some professional help!

Please be aware that I deleted the previous post, and re-posted it with a corrected title. I confused this episode with another episode when I was typing the title. My bad. It won't happen again. Please don't make me go get the paddle.

(or just click here to download the audio file)

Episode 2 (tapes and actors)

Yay for us!, I remembered to put up episode 2! Daniel actually listened to the whole episode before uploading it this time, to adjust volume on the parts that were too loud or too quiet. We wanted to get this episode out on a Friday, but it's taking forever to upload, so it might not be available until early Saturday. We'll see.

Episode 1 (lists and movies)

So, this is episode 1 of our podcast.  Chronologically speaking, this is the first episode we recorded, so that's why episode 0 has a later date in the audio file name.  But, we didn't do much of an intro, so... that's why there's an episode 0.

Episode Zero - Intro

Hi. We're John and Daniel, and this is our side of the road!
