Welcome to the ‘How’d It Go?’ Christmas special!

Thanks for this episode go to Dylan Kelly, Akshay Belas, Cleo the Leo, Pearl Kennedy, Harriett Maire, and the Wellington Jewish Progressive Congregation.

In this episode, Max and Robbie are joined by the awesome team from 'What's Next?', Hannah and Sophie! Max and Hannah attempt to try tramping despite their inexperience and Robbie and Sophie try something far more difficult; hosting a dinner party. Disclaimer: We recorded this in a windy warehouse, very sorry for the sound quality. Also, sometimes we refer to Hannah by her last name Geddis, just to make things confusing for you guys.

In this episode, Max throws himself into the deep end with New Zealand Sign Language, and Robbie rants against the evils of social media before explaining why he will never leave social media.

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode Robbie and Max both acknowledge that sex and masturbation are a part of their lives. This may be disturbing to some people, like our families. Welcome to Episode 21 of 'How'd It Go?' In this episode, Robbie tries to live by the principles he laid out in the latest episode of White Man Behind A Desk, and Max unsettles people by immediately replying to every message he receives. You'll find the pornography episode of White Man Behind A Desk here: https://youtu.be/FdFk_UmxPaw

In this second part of the twentieth episode of 'How'd It Go?', Max and Robbie take a hard look at how the podcast has affected their lives. They look back on where it's come from, and where they want to take it.

'How'd It Go?' has reached another mile stone. Twenty Episodes! In this first part of episode twenty, Max and Robbie take a stroll down memory lane and take a look at the challenges they've faced over the past nine episodes. They check to see if these challenges are still affecting them in a positive way, and if they were even helpful in making them better people.

Max discovers that planning out a better life is a solid plan for living a better life, and Robbie tries to warn people how small he is before he arrives at his boxing class. Oh, and here's that article Max talked about: http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/the-60-second-guide-to-bullshit-free-life/

Holy $#!t, what a f*@%in truthful episode! Robbie spends a fortnight unable to tell a lie, and Max goes two weeks without cursing. How'd it go? We'll give you hint; this episode may contain more swear words then any other episode in the podcast's history....

Robbie finds a peaceful beauty in people coming together to chant the same thing on repeat. Max also finds a group of people saying the same thing on repeat, but thinks talkback is a little less beautiful.

Fears, tears, and Shakespeare-s! Robbie throws the world's least fun party, and Max confronts his biggest artistic insecurity, revealing a lot about his friendship with Robbie in the process. Special thanks this episode to Harriett Maire, Elsie Bollinger, Claris Jacobs, and Minnie Grace for helping Max with his Shakespeare performance. P.S.

Max tackles his insomnia by keeping a journal, and Robbie stops working to give life a go, only to discover why he was avoiding it in the first place.

TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss eating disorders in the 'Go On, Do It' section. Max accidentally insults a stranger in a language he barely knows, and Robbie crashes a motorcycle.

It's right there in the title. Max and Robbie take a trip down memory lane and look back at the last nine episodes, then try to figure out what kind of people they want to be. And they make jokes too!

Happy NZ Music Month everybody! To celebrate, we’ve got a special jingle, Robbie wrote a song, and Max had a litre of blood siphoned out of his arm! We went a little musician-crazy this episode:
 - Get Andy Gartrell’s song Fool at https://andygartrell.bandcamp.com/track/fool - Get Sheep, Dog & Wolf’s album Egospect at http://download.sheepdogandwolf.com/ - Listen to Michael Friedman’s journalism in song at http://www.wnyc.org/story/ballad-trump-fan/

In this episode of the podcast, Max delves deeper into the Chinese part of his family's history, and Robbie does his best to use meditation to stay sane while filming his web series.

In this exciting edition of 'How'd It Go?', we find about what it's like to apologise to someone from your past, and what it's like to try and be a youtuber. Also, get ready for some subtle plugs!

Robbie jumps right into Tinder, and Max gives the Catholic Church a go. Goes better than you're probably expecting.

This is audio of Robbie singing and panicking his way through the last episode of The Walking Dead. Yes, this is representative of how he plays video games.

Robbie smears zombie blood on an innocent child, and Max drinks wine at an art class. They are both out of their comfort zone.

Robbie reconnects with his primary school bully, and Max tells jokes to strangers. Both of them freak out, because the podcast might actually be helping them become better people.

Max skim-reads one of the greatest novels of all time and Robbie discovers how difficult it is to sit up. Also, thanks to our special guest; a million cicadas.

In the first episode of 'How'd It Go?', Robbie performs a slam poem in public and Max ruins a perfectly good twenty-first.
