Welcome to the Life is Funny podcast where we think we are funny and hope that you might too. We love to talk about topics that are important in our lives even though most of the time we are far from experts.
This week, Evan has some BIG news! He's making a big move! Not only is he recording in his office for one of the last times, but he's also working in his office for one of the last times as a big life change is rapidly approaching. Evan is moving, so he's moving on from both his job and his abode. Obviously, Josh has some questions and some thoughts of his own about the big update. The guys talk about moving jobs, what this means in terms of future content, and more. And don't worry, even with all the change, there's still some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History content for your listening pleasure.
This week, the guys are NOT sponsored by McDonald's. Evan recently bought a McFlurry for the first time in a while, and man oh man, things have changed. With the lack of quantity and quality, no cool spoon, and a high price, it's just a bad deal! In other news, Josh is having car problems, which is also a bad deal. The guys also talk about their furry companions and how their dogs dictate their morning routines. Evan has the sequel to last week's mysterious marketplace monitor cliffhanger, and it turns out it wasn't a scam after all! In addition to that "sticking it to the man" content, there are also some Fact of the Week and This Day in History tidbits.
This week, the guys are doing things by the book. As two rule-following dudes, Josh and Evan weigh in on some slightly shady workplace practices that Evan has observed. Is getting a few free lunches here and there a bad thing? Probably not, but where's the line between that and robbing a bank?! So, what's the deal behind following the rules? Is it just to feel good, or maybe so other people think highly of you? Or maybe they're in place for a reason? Or are they holding you back? The guys try to answer these questions and more! And as always, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits for your listening pleasure!
This week, things get HEAVY! Just a few weeks after talking about the dog days of spring in terms of things dragging on, the guys both have to discuss some dog days of the canine variety. Josh's day did NOT get off to a good start after a barking brawl that wasn't his fault, and Evan can totally relate as it's something he's worried about but never dealt with. Maybe there's an undesirable but effective move to break up the biting though. Evan also has a bit of a rollercoaster story about his neighbor's dog(s), and the whole discussion is a downer. However, the guys still have good thoughts, and there are still Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Funny Tidbits to mix in!
This week, the guys get to gabbin' about all sorts of silly stuff. For example, do you know the state drink or animal (and more!) is for your state? What about just for Ohio and Indiana? Well, get ready to learn the latter! The guys also talk about a day at the ballpark, some standup seeing, and Evan's eventful Easter. Did the Yankees make the game worthwhile? Did Fortune Feimster fill a fun family evening full of laughter? Josh and Evan also talk about having "a guy" when it comes to things like car work, house building, and more. And as always, listen in for some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits!
This week, the guys are getting deep. Well, about as deep as a basement goes, because they talk a surprising amount about basements! How do you build a basement? Can you add a basement after building? What costs more: a basement or an extra upper floor? Josh and Evan may not have all, or any, of the answers, but they're certainly gonna ask these questions and more! The guys also have other things to discuss and weeks to recap, and, as always, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits to uncover!
This week, the guys are dragging a little bit as the dog days of spring seem to really be setting in. Both Josh and Evan had pretty uneventful weeks, and it doesn't look like too much will change in that department as spring goes on. Never fear though, because summer is around the corner! Or at least that's what they're holding on to to get them through... One bright spot in some people's lives is The Masters, which is actually a pretty unique sporting spectacle if you think about it. The guys discuss that thought and some others, and as always, there's still Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History Content mixed in.
This week, the guys talk about all kinds of stuff. Some of it is so good that they just HAD to talk about it twice! Or maybe that's just cuz they didn't get the audio from their first few minutes of talking. Yeah, probably that one... Either way, there's still plenty to talk about when it comes to sibling weddings (not THAT kind...), why worms do what they do, weather patterns, and more. Josh recently got to go to his little brother's wedding, so that's a new one for the guys to break down! And as always, there's also plenty of Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History content mixed in.
This week, the guys talk about what superpowers they'd want to have. But not just the normal, boring superpowers like laser eyes, flight, an old hammer, etc. No, they're talking about real-life superpowers that people have like photographic memories and stuff! All of it's based on the movie "Novocaine" that Evan just went to see, and it got him thinking about what skills he's missing out on. While he's got some ideas, Josh isn't quite sure what a good, natural superpower would be. So, he picks something that isn't a real ability... The guys also mix in some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History content, as always!
This week, Evan might be having an existential crisis caused by an innocent comedy show. After watching an improv show that reminded him of his college days, Evan is thinking back to the good times and wondering how to make the 'now times' similar. Could life be so simple as just doing/watching comedy, taking photos, working (maybe at a zoo?), and living how you want?! Maybe, or maybe not. Josh weighs in about how the college days feel to him, and the guys talk about how college is so impactful (to them) because it's where a big chunk of their lives have taken place. Mixed into the good conversations are some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits, as always!
This week, the guys are back, back [from] the New York groove! Well, Josh is back from the Big Apple, while Evan is hanging up his Florida Man moniker after a long work trip. Both guys have some fun things to catch up on after a week off from recording, including fun excursions, travel shenanigans, and more. Did Josh figure out a way to double an exclusive two-person pizza reservation? Did Evan finally see some Florida wildlife? What travel tips do they have to share after their adventures? Find out the answers to these questions and more! And as always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits.
This week, the guys take their time to talk ahead of a week away from the podcast for travel. While Evan has a work trip on deck, Josh is going to the Big Apple, where he hopes to show some rookies the ropes and eat some world-famous pizza. However, how will he handle feeding four people on a reservation for two? Who knows! The guys also talk about tracking time, and more specifically, tracking Josh's activities, habits, etc. Though Evan isn't a big-time time tracker, maybe they're on to something as another business idea. As always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits too!
This week, the guys are on high alert because the END IS NIGH!!! In case you haven't heard, a "city killer" asteroid is hurdling straight toward Earth, and our days are numbered! Well, maybe it's just orbiting(?) like 30 million miles away and MIGHT hit Earth in seven years, but hey, a 1-3% chance of asteroid death in the near-ish future is still pretty concerning, right? Josh and Evan share their thoughts on the news and how the possible impact could impact life as they know it. Will the guys live like there's no tomorrow? Will they enact an emergency survival plan? Or will they try to capitalize on the panic with a brilliant business idea? Listen in to find out, hear about the asteroid, and discover more Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits!
This week, the guys have slightly less time than usual, but that doesn't mean they don't make the most of their time by talking about some fun stuff! From pricey puppies to a kind of existential crisis, both Josh and Evan have thoughts to share. After hearing about a VERY high-dollar dachshund, Evan tried to find out what price is too much to pay for a puppy. He's never paid for a furry pet, but Josh has some experience with a premium pooch! The guys also talk about how to fill the time between work and sleep, aka, life. If it's not TV or movies, what is there even to do?! Maybe listen to this podcast? The guys also mix in some Fact of the Week and This Day in History tidbits, and they have an awesome, collaborative "sticking it to the man" to report on!
This week, the guys get back to work after the highs of episode 300. Though 301 isn't quite the milestone number of a week prior, there's still plenty to talk about! For example, Evan recently attended a workplace "roast" and had to navigate the interesting social situation. Did he miss his chance to get in on the comedic action? Josh offers his thoughts, and the guys dive into the topic of social interactions. It can be tricky to converse with others for a lot of different reasons, so hopefully two pros who do it for a podcast every week have some good thoughts! As always, there are also some good Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in History tidbits for you, too.
This week, the guys hit another MAJOR milestone! It took a week longer than expected, but episode 300 is here! The guys start off by comparing the podcast's reign to other historical events, and their longevity is pretty impressive (if we do say so ourselves). In what's become a tradition for these milestone *00th episodes, Evan crunched the numbers to break down some interesting info about the last 100 podcasts and stats about all the episodes combined. The guys also mix in plenty of Fact of the Week tidbits, break down a thrilling "sticking it to the man," and go through lots of This Day in History facts!
This week, the guys talk TikTok! With TikTok apparently on the clock and headed towards being shut down, the guys talk about what's going on, how it impacts them, and what it could mean on a bigger scale. Do they think TikTok will actually be banned? Is it all just a political stunt? Or is it all a precursor to unprecedented political power? Either way, it's all kinda wild and very new. And hey, their thoughts are old news with the TikTok ban coming and going since they talked! But hey, the ideas discussed are still topical. The guys also talk "sticking it to the man," mention a ton of Fact of the Week tidbits, and bust out some daily history facts for your listening pleasure!
This week, the guys are recording on a VERY big day! It's Evan's birthday!! While the guys record on his big day, Evan takes some time to pose some quandaries to Josh and the podcast. The dilemmas in question include an e-commerce issue revolving around an Amazon purchase of an iPhone, whether to open Pokémon card packs purchased for an amazing price, and more. With Josh also recently turning a year older, hopefully he can impart some wisdom. The guys also debut their newest segment, so tune in to discover what's taking the place of Life is Punny! And as always, there might be some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits mixed in.
This week, the guys ring in the new year with some timely technological talk! The calendar has turned over to 2025 since Josh and Evan last talked, and Evan's life has already had a big-time impactful upgrade in the form of a shiny new iPhone 16 Pro Max. So, how does he feel after making a six-year technological leap? Was he prepared for such a big upgrade, or does he need to totally overhaul his accessories while learning how to use the new phone?

Evan was part of a 95th birthday party and has an ear for AI Christmas music, while Josh's plans got a bit mixed up due to Covid. Listen in as the guys talk about the holidays and more! There's also a fantastic Fact of the Week or two, some solid "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and maybe the last Life is Punny segment ever!
This week, the guys review their best stuff from the second half of 2024! In keeping up an ever-evolving podcast tradition, both Josh and Evan have plenty of things to highlight from the past year and the past six months. Though they both have content to add in the form of movies, series, books, video games, podcasts, food, and more, the guys kinda agree that 2024, or at least the second half, failed to produce as many recommendations as usual. Do you agree? Are they just getting too snobby? Listen in to hear their thoughts and compare them to your year's favorite content! And as always, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits to enjoy!
This week, the guys are rapidly racing towards the end of 2024!

Find out what goodies Evan and Josh have been partaking in and how many more holiday helpings are on deck! The guys also talk a lot about Indiana University football, insane ticket prices, and the state of in-person sporting events. Are they gonna go support the Hoosiers at Notre Dame?

This week, the guys start wrapping up 2024 by reviewing their Wrapped stats! Evan has some interesting Spotify info, while Josh listens to his songs on Apple Music.

This week, the guys are giving thanks ahead of Turkey Day! Though Josh and Evan are gearing up for the Thanksgiving festivities, they have had some noteworthy things happen since their last recording session. Josh hunted down a living, breathing Christmas tree, but he's got no way to water it. So, do I hear a "sticking it to the man" opportunity? On the other side, Evan had a BIG weekend of travel, celebrating a Sweet 16 on a work trip. So, how were the 16ish hours of driving with his boss's supervisor? What fun things did he learn? And will he be taking a trip back down Whitewoman St. any time soon?! Listen in to find out! As always, there's a Fact of the Week tidbit mixed in, but in what could signal a coming change, there's no Life is Punny content!
This week, the guys have plenty of fun, everyday experiences to talk through. Their topics range from putting too much trust into a tire salesman to getting tricked by a misleading hiking trail and more! Maybe the moral of the stories is to do a little research before putting your fate at the hands of someone/something else? But hey, what's the fun in that sometimes?! The guys also talk about some additional activities and, of course, mix in some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content!
This week, the guys talk about how they're headed towards the holidays, and whether they are feeling the holiday spirit. Josh might be looking forward to Thanksgiving after a Friendsgiving, but Evan might be stuck thinking day by day during a busy season. Though the guys have talked a TON about the holidays over their years of podcasting, there are still thoughts to share about whether it's 'day-of' or bust, or whether they're called the holiDAYS for a reason. Additionally, the Hoosier fans have some IU Hoosiers Fact of the Week tidbits, and there is "sticking it to the man" and Life is Punny content for your listening pleasure.
This week, the guys reminisce about regret after bringing up the topic last week. Josh made it seem like he has a LOT of regrets in life, so Evan, who is regret-free, wants to dig into that and see what's up. Fortunately, Josh won't have to regret another decision after committing to spend a bunch of money to join a golf cult. Or something like that... The guys also talk about their past week, including an unfortunate margarita-based Halloween party faux pas, an unfortunate election result, and more. Listen in for some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits too!
This week, the guys talk about Halloween since they're recording on the big day! Evan is in the middle of one of his biggest Halloweens in years, so it sparks the question of whether the guys get into All Hallows Eve. Though both Josh and Evan agree that it's not a major part of their lives, they both have fun memories and costumes to reminisce about. And this year, Evan went all-out with two different punny costumes, including an award-winning workplace getup. Tune in to find out what he dressed as, and listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits too!
This week, the guys talk a lot about sports after Evan's sports-filled week. Not only did he play multiple sports, including trying out a new one, but he also went to see two incredible playoff baseball games. So, what percentage of his salary did the excursions set him back? And was it all worth it? The guys also talk about catching up with people from the past and how it can be weird to share what they're up to these days when a job is just a job and not a lifestyle. Evan also breaks some VERY important news to Josh that Josh should know, and it could be life-changing info! And as always, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits mixed in.
This week, the guys talk about the past, which includes their past weekends, a time when nature was the norm, and running around the Renaissance. Evan took a trip back to the good old days by visiting the Ohio Renaissance Festival, and he was in the minority as a normally dressed guy. However, normal is different at the Ren Fair, just like how normal is different with nature these days. Instead of thick forests as far as the eye can see, the closest some people get is a golf course... Additionally, Evan is going to see some green at a big baseball game right after recording! As always, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits mixed in.
This week, the guys talk about how to even out effort at work. When work takes 100% (or more) of your effort, it can leave you drained and with less time/energy/etc. to put into what really matters: life! So, why does work take so much effort? Would it be better for both workers and companies to ask for less effort and/or find better ways to balance the effort? And how would that fix come about if it's even a possibility? Listen in to find out if they have all the answers, or if they at least have some good thoughts. And as always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits.
This week, the guys have a heck of a time harping on about happiness. Are they in their peak happy years, or is unhappiness at its highest right about now? And how does today's generation stack up against its predecessors when it comes to happiness levels and timeframes? After sorting all that out, Josh and Evan kick around some ideas about why things are the way they are and what could be done to make things better, if there even needs to be a better. Whatever they come up with, hopefully it gets pieced together like this episode's audio issues... And as always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits!
This week, the podcast is back to full strength! Josh and Evan are back to being a double act, and both guys have some things to talk about together. Josh obviously has some Scotland stories to spin after returning from vacation, including some skinny-road hi-jinx and intersection square-ups. On the other side, Evan has some Springfield, Ohio, updates and some general life events to speak on. And as always, there are plenty of Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content for your listening pleasure!
This week, Evan is flying solo for the first time in a while! With Josh being MIA and life going on, he had to make sure to get a recording in, for his sake and yours. Fortunately for Evan, there are some very topical things to talk about! First and foremost, his hometown, Springfield, Ohio, has been in the news recently. That must be a good thing, right? Right? Well, even though the news and surrounding discourse are less than ideal, he's here to set the record straight and provide some expert insights. Even though it's just a one-man show, Evan's still got you covered with Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits!
This week, the guys are just trying to piece something together. After not recording for 2.5 weeks, and looking down the barrel of another three-week hiatus due to Josh's inability to record, the guys try to squeeze in a quick episode to keep the content coming. However, halfway into their 30-minute recording window, they realized none of the audio had been recorded. So, this is the ~15-minute take-two that they were able to get recorded. Within this expedited recording, the guys get a quick chance to catch up after Josh's vertical sailing situation and some of Evan's podcast-worthy experiences. Even in a quick format, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content!
This week, the guys cover lots of bases across the course of an episode that took some work to schedule. In fact, Evan is recording from work in his office for the first time ever! As work, sports, and school get back up to full speed, the guys still have some catching up to do, including Josh's first bachelor party in a while. Will it be his last bachelor party in a while? And how did it go? The guys discuss whether they think they'll be bagging any more bachelor parties in the future, how to cash out at a casino, and more. And as always, listen in for the added Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content.
This week, the guys get technical by talking all about AI. Well, they at least talk a little about artificial intelligence, and hopefully they're at least a little knowledgeable about a thing or two. And who knows, maybe both Josh and Evan have already been replaced by AI after 279 episodes, so listen in to see if they pass the Turing Test! The guys also talk about a handful of other one-off occurrences, including Evan's budding ornithologist career, someone going postal, "sticking it to the man" successes, and more. And as always, there are some Fact of the Week and Life is Punny tidbits to enjoy too!
This week, Evan has to get to the bottom of a possible foul ball fake out, courtesy of Josh.

Listen in to learn how it all went down! The guys also talk about other aspects of their last week and more, including getting an early whiff of some Fact of the Week tidbits. You can also sniff out some "sticking it to the man" stories and some Life is Punny content if you stick around long enough!
This week, the guys get back to business in more ways than one: firstly, after missing a week of recording, and secondly, as Evan's last day of summer before going back to work! There is plenty to catch up on as Evan and Josh got up to some fun things to close out July, including some Michigan trips, "camping," the county fair, and more. While Evan has had some recent "sticking it to the man" success in the guys' buy/sell competition, he also almost made a big blunder by buying counterfeit things that could've ruined his day. Listen in to hear about how that went down and for more conversations, culminating with some Fact of the Week and Life is Punny content.
This week, the guys reminisce about old times after taking a trip down memory lane to the spot where they first met: Bloomington, Indiana! While back at the home of the Podcast, Josh and Evan ate lots of food and felt right at home back where it all started at Indiana University. Evan also went back to his childhood stomping grounds for a couple days, and it turns out that it's nice to be somewhere familiar. However, would they move back to their former abodes? Listen in for some fun conversations about the past, present, and future. As always, there is also some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content to consume.
This week, the guys talk about the delicious decisions that make up their eating habits. It sounds like both Josh and Evan have different ways of going about cooking and eating food in their households, so they try to make sense of how the other side does it.

This week, the guys are getting back to a topic from last week after getting together over the weekend. Evan recently got something that has made life easier, so it led to a discussion about what things the guys, or people in general, can buy to make things a little better. That said, does easier always equal better? Maybe with things like doing dishes, but maybe not with more complex things. Find out what Josh and Evan think about all this stuff and more! As always, there are also Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits for your listening pleasure.
This week, the guys talk about things that make their life easier and things that make their life harder, or at least more embarrassing. Specifically, Evan made a purchase that has made his life better, but he also made an embarrassing blunder, the likes of which he's never done, that could haunt him forever. The guys don't get to dive into their topics as much as they'd like, but it sets up an interesting conversation for next week! In other news, Josh had a fulfilling day off and another bourbon-based weekend, so there are some good times to talk about. As always, listen in for some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits!
This week, the guys open up about clothes, specifically their clothing choices, preferences, and thoughts.

Friendship is complicated, and it's something that evolves over time. Much like this podcast! In addition to the discussions, there are Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits mixed in!
This week, for just the second time in the history of the LIF podcast, a voice other than Josh and Evan joins the airwaves. A very special guest starts the episode with a fun story about some camping shenanigans involving two long-time listeners, a compromising position, and a storm. The guys have a few thoughts on how they would've handled the same situation and have a good time listening to someone else's funny times. Josh and Evan also have some interesting things of their own to recap, including some close calls in cars, some national sports stories, some summer shindigs, and more. As always, there are also Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits mixed in!
This week, both Josh and Evan had some frustrations to deal with. Evan had to deal with some annoying insurance runaround while also enduring one of the worst movie-going experiences he can remember. Does a theater full of coughing people, noisy kids, and spilled drinks mixed with a mediocre movie add up to a good time? Maybe it's part of the reason why movies aren't making the big bucks these days... Josh had a long week, but he's making it through! As always, listen in for some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content mixed in throughout!
This week, Evan has some tales to tell! After notching some "worst ever" holidays over the last couple of years, his bad luck might have finally struck Mother's Day.

The guys also talk about getting back into things like golf and reading, while getting excited about getting closer to summer. There is also some good "sticking it to the man" content, some Fact of the Week tidbits, and a few Life is Punny pointers.
This week, the guys make their 265th remake of the first episode of the podcast because their big-money producers won't let them veer off of the money-making formula. Or at least that's one way to think of these episodes, especially after Evan has been noticing more and more remakes, reboots, and sequels of movies. Can original content break through at the box office, or are consumers doomed to watch the same old things because people don't want to risk anything that won't make money? And hey, do consumers even care? Josh and Evan talk about that topic and more, and they mix in plenty of buying/selling talk and the usual allotment of Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny content!
This week, the guys start off by talking about pickleball, a pastime taken up by both Josh and Evan, along with the rest of the world. Josh might be so into pickleball that he's considering becoming an official retailer, while Evan is pretty confident in his ability to hang with the best of them on the court. Along with their possible pickleball competition, the guys also get back into their idea to see who can turn $100 into the biggest profit through things like thrift finds and reselling. Evan kicked off the contest with a couple of purchases, so find out how what is gonna get him on the board. As always, listen in for Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and Life is Punny tidbits, too!
