Love Joel and Steve
These guys do it right. Which means that they are two men who are comfortable in their own skins, vibing on their experiences and trying to wiggle into improvements to themselves and those around them. Bravo!
This show is absolutely worth a listen. Very much feels like two friends just kicking it.
Hilarious and thoughtful dialogues about two guys constantly learning and growing in this crazy world.

Two longtime friends explore everyday life, self-improvement, culture, and community with warmth, humor, and candor. Topics span fitness, music, local Midwest scenes, relationships, sobriety, theater, and current events, all through a practical lens of personal growth. The show often blends nostalgic memories with vivid anecdotes about Lincoln-area life, live music, and creative projects, making it feel like an intimate hang with friends who are continually trying to be better. A notable vibe is the mix of vulnerability, candid storytelling, and a healthy skepticism of online culture, paired with a strong sense of community and midwestern authenticity.
