Catchupcast

It's Nautical Week here on Catchupcast! Join us as we discuss the ocean-centric books we've been reading (In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex & The Devil and the Dark Water), the horrors of being stranded at sea, and Assassins Creed: Adventures in Whaling! We celebrate the arrival of spring, play a lightning round of Meme Review, and confront a bird. Plus, Isaac finally visits a children's museum, we learn some Frank Lloyd Wright facts, and we consider the logistics of chaperoning a middle school dance. Finally, listen as we get increasingly angry with each other while attempting to define wheels and doors!

In Part Two of our Sixtieth Episode Spectacular, Ethan and Isaac reminisce about growing up and finish up their virtual tour of their hometown! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade is a despicable attack on reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy.

Obtaining ducks! Meme research! We debate sword-wielding orangutans and the chicken waiting in your car, as well as haircut preferences. We ponder Zuck's Future, structuring our lives, the beauty of Lego games, and a mind-blowing bus movie. Oh, and Ethan gets very, very angry about The Book of Boba Fett (or is it Boomer Fett?).

In this timely installment of Catchupcast, Ethan and Isaac lament living in the dark alternate Back to the Future Part II timeline before discussing sleeping surfaces, going home, and funny kids. They do some small talk role-play, fall into a catharsis hole, evaluate the genuineness of podcasts, try to find an untraceable form of communication, compare vaccine reactions, and take a cold shower!

We recorded this episode early in November, and then, between life and the holidays, didn't have time to edit/release it until now. Sorry about that! In this episode (which is a milestone for us), we talk about libraries, dangerous tea, an arbitrary and difficult canoe trip, an impromptu adventure in closure, the One Pot Life, defining a classic, disturbing the Geese Peace, one final bike ride, when Christmas comes too early, cut Catchupcast content, a real-life Hunger Games, and, finally, NaNoWriMo and the struggle to write.

In the latest episode of Catchupcast, Isaac encounters a forest set ablaze and Ethan finds himself in smokey peril, which makes this, statistically, our most lit episode to date! Also, we ponder inspirational garbage, the many cults of Western New York, the infinity of human literature, a tear-inducing surprise on Ethan's birthday, lying about crying, an odd dealbreaker, author signatures, writing a sequel, and reflect a bit on the podcast. Plus much more!

Welcome to episode 52 of Catchupcast! If we were releasing weekly, this would mark a year since we started the show! But, since podcasting is hard and we are busy, it's actually been three and a half years! Whoops! In this episode, Isaac and Ethan talk about a pizza hybrid, Isaac's adventure race, Ethan's peanut butter naïvete, riding bicycles, grad school, running with Elton John, their fear of wasting their time, and watching new generations grow up. Also, we revisit Beau Miles with a discussion on his film "Junk Films", which leads us to ponder artistic transformation and filmmaking styles. Finally, Ethan puts on his director hat (which has an ear of corn on it, as it happens) and gives some notes on sword fights. “Junk Films” by Beau Miles: https://youtu.be/xmj0sK0dCWU Buy Ethan's book! https://amzn.to/2SSSCf2 Check out our Twitter account (@KetchupCast) or send us an email at nocondiments@gmail.com! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/support

After our big 50th anniversary episode, we're feeling kinda sleepy, so prepare yourselves for some weird energy this episode! In this installment of Catchupcast, Ethan and Isaac discuss their former classmate, Lil Jeff; attachment styles, silence, alcohol, accent stories, vaccines, and immigrating to New Zealand. Light up that Hollywood sign, because there's a lot of movie talk this week: we ponder box office numbers, movies that couldn't be made today, and give a detailed description of Mission: Impossible II's best moments! Finally, Isaac debuts a new bit and Ethan becomes a ticking coffee time bomb!

It's our Fiftieth Anniversary celebration!! After all these years, we are so so proud to bring you this special episode, featuring our THIRD-EVER GUEST, our old friend Keenan! After first revisiting some questions from a very long time ago, we hear all about Keenan's script doctoring business and his dog, Echo! We remember sloppy reenactments and long-gone restaurants, and reminisce about Scouting shenanigans and our teenage years filled with filmmaking! We discuss Wisconsin living, an uncomfortably nosy party dude, the perfect charcuterie condiment, complicated gear, obnoxious people in our fields, our green thumbs (or lack thereof), burial traditions on Arrakis, play a round of Meme Review Review, and, perhaps most importantly, talk about Batman. Mostly, we just really enjoy being three very old friends catching up for the first time in a very long time. Thank you, listeners, for sticking with us for all these years! We really love making this show, and it's such a joy to finally reach this milestone! Sorry for the long hiatus between this and Episode 49, though, things were a bit hectic in making this episode happen. To make up for that, Episode 51 will go up one week from today!

Ethan and Isaac dig even deeper into the nostalgia well in this latest episode of Catchupcast, this time remembering musicals, attempts at wooing, prom, stolen ray guns, and a double date with a math teacher. And if that wasn't enough, they also find time to talk about the sameness of adult life, escaping the familiar, a violent baptism, first date tips, laundromat brochures, the Tokyo 2020(+1) Olympics, and YouTuber Beau Miles. We reveal whether we're dog or cat people, Ethan has a suspiciously good day, and Isaac gets in over his head on an adventure!

Happy August! Summer sure has gone quickly, hasn't it? Or maybe it hasn't and time is just losing all meaning. Anyway! Isaac and Ethan start this episode off with a pop tart metaphor, then launch into all kinds of tangents! Like hot water woes and letting the bedbugs bite! And adventure milestones and boats on the Erie Canal!

We always start out with lists of discussion topics, but oh so often we find ourselves going down tangents and rabbit holes and ending up somewhere completely different than we thought we would, which is how we spend a good chunk of this episode critiquing the naming methods of a certain pizza chain. Also, we discuss coffee temperature, the proper amount of data, breakfast hacks, naming camping gear, transportation troubles, UV protections, art class, the Three Little Pigs, art ownership and interpretation, and Isaac's newest floating purchase.

In this installment of Catchupcast, the boys recount their very different experiences of Election week, their Halloween nights, review some movies, ponder epinephrine, reflect on the amorphous blob of timeless waiting that is 2020, detail some DIY raincoat repair, debate what, exactly, the definition of a sandwich is; battle some children/horses/ducks, reveal the Shrinkrayinator, and get into a pretty intense argument about utensil utility.

After that, they complain about social media (soch meads?) for quite a while, and talk about Dr. Zoom, the dangers of Sun Madness, cell structures, the effects of a vacuum on the human body, Cameo controversies, and get up close and personal with some toes.

We recorded this early in January but I'm bad at uploading, so all our "new decade" jokes are slightly dated. Other than that, though, on this installment of Catchupcast we ruminate on Jeff Bezos's Exoskeleton Army, fictional universes and the opportunities for creative expression within them, upcoming adventures, the role of technology in the wilderness, leadership, and a mysterious encounter in a dangerous Arizonian forest. Also, this episode features a surprise guest and exposes Isaac to one of the biggest movies of the past year--Cats.

Happy New Year! Start 2020 off the right way with a brand-new episode of Catchupcast! In this wordplay-heavy episode, Ethan and Isaac discuss copyright laws (exciting stuff!), more Herzog, modes of education, the importance of skill versus gear in backpacking and filmmaking, how to address "canceled" people, video games, and spend a concerning amount of time making jokes about the Erie Canal.

After a lengthy, summer-camp/microphone issues-induced hiatus, we return with what is perhaps a more tired episode than usual. Ethan and Isaac catch each other up on their recent endeavors, as well as discuss their coffee addictions, their latest streaming service binges (all hail Baby Yoda!), an embarrassing celebrity encounter, higher education, creative expression, and celebrate Taylor Swift!

In our last episode before a summer hiatus, Ethan and Isaac tackle a list of conversation topics from the mind of Ethan, discussing Mt. Everest, movies (Ethan is an idiot who can't figure out movies from very obvious specific details), birthdays and growing up (including the tale of Isaac's 21st birthday!), stressful existential dread of the future, and, in what is quickly becoming a regular segment, do another round of Meme Review.

Isaac returns from the desert on the exciting TWENTIETH EPISODE (!!!) of Catchupcast! He and Ethan swap stories of the adventures they have gotten up to during their hiatus, as well as discuss vortexes and black holes, donuts, an encounter with celebrity podcasters the McElroys, and, as they tend to do lately, get existential for a bit.

In this special feature-length episode of Catchupcast, Ethan, Isaac, and our FIRST-EVER GUEST Matt discuss sandwiches, murder (or maybe assassination?), chickens and eggs, describe some images they can see but you can't, and then learn a lot about death and burial!

In this post-accidental hiatus episode, we return to the past of Catchupcast with our second "lost episode", an attempt at recording episode seven a second time. Isaac goes to prison, we throw a sex toy party, discuss other podcasts in our lives (but we're NOT cheating on each other), learn about a technical crime Ethan accidentally committed, and talk about camping and being outdoors for almost half the episode.

In this installment of your favorite friendship-preserving podcast, Ethan and Isaac remind you that you will die, and deal with (aka repress) several other existential issues. Seriously, there's a LOT of talk about death in this one. Like half the episode is death-related discussions. Yikes. They also continue their ongoing discussion of storytelling and writing in general. Despite this stressful-sounding description, this is a really fun episode! Enjoy!

At the end of this episode, Isaac actually provides a really good list of what we discuss this week, so I’ll quote that instead of writing a description myself: “[This is] our Oscar-themed podcast...where we talked about high school gym class, and ski orienteering, and contra dancing, and speed dating, and hot vs. cold apple cider.” Featuring a Contra Dance Medley by Elan Chalford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af3t6nhcrSo Catchupcast is a podcast that features Isaac and Ethan, who have conversations about whatever is on their minds and keep up with what is going on in each other's lives! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/message

This week on Catchupcast, Ethan and Isaac take a break from their favorite Serengeti animals, examine the dual meanings behind all written pieces, sing some Disney songs (please don't sue us), discuss their writing projects and writing in general, teach mug etiquette, and talk about beauty too much.

We lied to you, listeners. On this episode of Catchupcast, Ethan and Isaac finally get around to the topic of condiments. That's not all we talk about, though. We also discuss work ethic, mundane bucket lists, sitcoms, revisit bees and a Jerry Seinfeld classic, awards shows, and the greatest role-playing game of all time.
