Quad Shot

We really aren't that sporty but this subject was actually kind of fun to discuss. We talk a bit about the "origins" of sports and some minor history of the Olympics. What constitutes a sport? Also, the difference between performing arts and sports is discussed in detail because we have some pretty strong opinions on the subject. We also clearly have no idea about European sports but we try. Finally, are bodybuilding and pole dancing real sports? Don't forget to vote on the polls that we've posted in our Instagram stories! @quadshotpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Well, it's been a lot longer than we had originally anticipated, but we're finally back! Our first episode back, we're talking hypotheticals but then that gets boring so we move onto what it's like to work together. Finally, as always we close with some random thoughts and funny topics. And, you guessed it! Some major The Office quoting action as Josh is finally watching the series. Thanks for tuning in! Our new schedule will be every 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month. With our businesses taking off and other responsibilities, we weren't able to upload every Thursday but we'll continue to be as regular as possible, providing you with some funny conversations to get your through the day.

Hey guys! I just wanted to come on here with a quick message to let you know why we've been a little absent lately. We sold our house! That means that we are taking time to enjoy our last month here in our home and with our friends before officially moving to Florida. Thank you so much for your patience and support! We love making these episodes for you and can't wait to get back at it very soon. If you'd like more, regular updates, you can follow us on @quadshotpod on Instagram. -Amanda

We all hope that every mother out there has a wonderful and blessed day to celebrate the joy of motherhood! We are especially proud of our Mom for everything she has taught us and provided for us throughout the years, including the opportunities to start our own businesses and become close, best friends through schooling us together our whole lives. Here's to all the mother's of the world!

Josh is officially in paradise and this week, we are checking on him! We had a few technical difficulties but finally got things to work for us so we apologize for the screwed up audio in parts. Julia threw a very loud stair-stomping tantrum and almost slipped down the hardwood stairs, Josh shares about how beautiful it is for pictures where he lives as well as his one-sentence summary of his first two weeks in Florida, and Adam shares a little tid bit about sulfur. We also go back to our favorite subject...coffee and Josh gives some great tips on how to make amazing cold brew. For the record, we do not think our dog is crappy, he is super sweet! But, he is getting old and a little stinky and very blind. Adam shares a funny/not-so-funny story about him in today's episode. Finally, we announce our big news for those who haven't heard it yet. We're moving to Florida too! This is a secret we had been keeping since before Josh moved down there. Our hope is that we'll be back to a weekly release schedule here on Quad Shot once we're all settled together again. Update on the woodpecker: Josh thinks the babies died :( --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today, we are talking about a topic that we are all very passionate about...superheroes! And, as every good superhero fan knows, there are two distinct universes. We'll be discussing all the DC shows, movies, heroes, and villains today plus, Amanda shares her poll results from Instagram and introduces today's sound effect, "bleh". Adam has very strong feeling toward Iris in The Flash (we apologize for offending any Iris fans out there), Amanda was the only one to finish Arrow, Legend of Tomorrow was coined Legends of Lameness by Adam, Julia points out that pretty much everyone in these shows gets resurrected at least once, Josh loves Lego Batman, and Amanda shares her love of Smallville. There are some *spoilers* so be aware! Listen to find out what the best part of Justice League was, some hilarious weaknesses, and our favorite heroes and villains. You will definitely want to listen to the end for some really hilarious heroes and villains. Enjoy!

Since Josh is moving to Florida, we decided to take the time to do a whole episode where we talked about some of our favorite memories with him. Today we talk about how we used to set up a candy trading station every Halloween and Easter, Josh tours in Disney (https://youtu.be/JnW_PtvlkjM), when Josh would rescue Julia when she fell off her bike, Josh's experience as a backstage theater helper and receiving the highest compliment for that job, how much Josh hates air conditioning, the time Josh found a very strange item in his hotel bed, and Josh's experience as a novice movie maker. We also throw in a bunch of other fun memories including all the siblings and Josh issues his PSA for the day - "don't try to flush candy wrappers."

"It's Monkeys outside!" - How to British by Julia Howard In this episode, Amanda and Julia share some British slang and famous sayings that have very interesting meanings and origins. Jose was our guest yet again and this time he was crawling in and out of Adam's shirt (we'll post a photo on Instagram for you). We have not one, but TWO Office references for you today, Josh confuses Gulliver's Travels with Gilligan's Island, Amanda still has ladybugs flying and dying all over her room, and Adam wants to know what the Queen of England does to her prisoners for the prison system to be referred to as Her Majesty's Pleasure. You can really tell it was getting late when we recorded this because we got a little goofy toward the end. We feel it important to issue a minor trigger warning toward the end for sensitive listeners. Finally, our new schedule will be uploads every other week instead of every week. Josh is also moving to Florida to work as a chef so we will be doing our podcasts apart starting the first week of April.

We visited Florida to see our family and had the pleasure of talking with our very first special guest. Unfortunately, our other cousin Logan was sick and unable to join us but it was so awesome to have Ryan with us! In this episode, we talk about Ryan's hatred for the movie La La Land...but don't worry, the music is good. By the way, what's with Ryan Gosling? Ryan shares his life-changing (or altering?) experience with Grandma's bidet (or "Monet" as he kept calling it). Adam decided to give it a try later in the week and concurs with Ryan's assessment. Ryan shares the difference between "smart" smart-house inventions and "dumb" ones, we talk about I-Carly and how no one ever really watched it for Carly...they watched it for Spencer, apparently double tying your shoes gives you superhuman abilities to not trip over things, Amanda and Julia talk a little about the creepy stuff girls feel the need to do at sleepovers, Ryan shares tips on where to hide your money, odd dog breeds are discussed and we apologize for the mental picture Julia created for you, and finally, why are children's books so weird? This episode is so jam-packed with entertaining stuff that this description can't even fit it all. Oh, and Grandma and Alyssa (another cousin) interrupted our outro but it's all good. Enjoy! P.S. Amanda doesn't actually think that being a vegan is healthier (no-offense). It was a joke. P.P.S. What do you get when you cross a pit bull and a shih tzu? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This episode ended up being a lot of pet peeves and what not to do in the Disney parks (or any theme park for that matter). Josh starts out the episode laughing at a random work story (he doesn't laugh this hard very often), Amanda bears the brunt of a lot of crazy things such as the real reason why she gets nauseous in the line to Star Tours and experienced things like a crush injury, passing out in the park, and getting gum stuck to her phone. Julia shares the reason why we avoided the O, Canada experience, Adam got his ankle crushed by a stroller and shares his hate for empty strollers being pushed throughout the park, and if you're gassy in Disney, save it for when you're in a group of annoying kids. Finally, we issue some DON'TS for Disney goers such as: Don't let your kids pee in the line to an indoor ride. Don't eat before a motion ride. Don't cut in line or let a family member hold your place in line. Don't run someone over or plow through with a stroller or scooter. Oh, and there's another Office reference for ya in here too.

Pura Vida! This week, we're sharing some misadventures from our Costa Rican vacation back in 2015. It was our first time out of the country (except Josh). There was a lot of Spanish TV and the driving situation was crazy (people jumping out of their car windows to pee). Amanda was taken super far out of her comfort zone on this vacation, Julia tells about a truck driver who honked and scared a man into a ditch, Adam recommends bringing a bedpan or shovel with you because the rest stops and public toilets are disgusting, and Josh tells about how we had to use old, used snorkels on our snorkeling tour. We also share about Kevin (Costa Rican Jack Black) and his somewhat questionable tours and so much more fun! See if you can spot the Office reference...also, have you ever played rag doll in the car? Oh, we have Costa Rica to thank for our love of coffee and if you have never tried Costa Rican coffee, you really should. If you can get a rainforest view and toucans to look at while you drink it, even better.

What could be more fitting for Valentine's day than some action movie reviews? Okay, okay, probably Rom-Coms but Adam said that would be boring so here we are. Be prepared for lots of spoilers! Amanda is pretty sure that the Bourne theme plays during Threat Level Midnight (The Office) and she revealed that Pirates of the Caribbean was the start of her Orlando Bloom crush, Julia loves war and military themed movies, Adam and Josh get technical about why each movie is good or bad, and being Office fans, Amanda and Julia were pleasantly surprised to see their first John Krasinski action movie. Do you also hate it when the trailer to a movie shows you everything? Excuse us while we go binge Jurassic Park... We talk about movies like The Fast and The Furious Series, the Bourne Identity Series, Pirates of the Caribbean, 13 Hours, the Mission Impossible Series, Die Hard Series, 1917, Inception, the Fallen Series, Jurassic Park and Jurassic World Series', White House Down, and lots of other honorable mentions. We missed A LOT so if you'd like to hear more, let us know on @quadshotpod. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

"I declare, BANKRUPTCY!" This episode may be long but it's packed with funny stories about our most recent job experiences. Amanda reveals that she's an organizing genius and will NEVER work retail again, Adam teaches us all how to "properly" sweep a dusty floor, Joshua doesn't think that hiring friends is the best idea and shares how organizing clothing is way harder than it looks, Julia and Amanda both get frustrated about lack of communication in the workplace, and Julia shares an almost celebrity encounter when on set (Tyson's Run). We also issue a warning to everyone about small coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants that they might not be as clean as everyone might think...Amanda's health podcast eeks into this one a little as we talk about germs. We also learn that Adam's an amazing actor and you should totally check out the short film he was in ((36) The Fray | Post Apocalyptic Short Film - YouTube). Keep your ears open for two Office quotes courtesy of Julia. Finally, what is that movie Adam's talking about? Help us out. Our guest list for future episodes is pending so please don't feel like we've forgotten you. We'll keep you posted! In the meantime, if you'd like to be added to our guest list, feel free to let us know on Instagram (@quadshotpod).

Josh and Amanda have some funny (slightly gross) sleepover stories, Amanda thinks her friends were scared of her during sleepovers, Adam played poker late at night, Julia shares here embarrassing acting moments and an Instagram live that went awry, Adam's not easily embarrassed but we finally got one from him, Amanda opens up about a deep dark secret (not really), and we end with some work-related embarrassments and the reason why Julia loves lifeguards.

This episode isn't for the faint of heart. We've warned you. Josh talks about the worst candy in existence, Julia shares her story of the worst Indian food ever (which includes a lassi that tasted like fart), Adam ate a crunchy banana and tells Donald Duck to watch out, and Amanda shares an Office quote about cake. Don't miss the photos of Josh's face when Julia talks about her moldy yogurt over on @quadshotpod. Also, what is Southern ghetto? Whatever it is, the food was terrible. And, we can't talk about bad food without mentioning some good food too so there is some sprinkled throughout. Bon Appetit! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Continuing with our short series on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, today we focus more on some fun behind-the-scenes trivia and facts from the LOTR books and movies. A ladybug crashes our philosophical discussion, Josh tries to hum Gollum's theme for us, Adam & Julia reveal that they don't actually listen to our episodes, and we find out that Tolkien's name is pronounced Tolk(ee)n. Can you say the letter E without smiling? Also, is it possible to write a different language without being able to speak it? Finally, check out our Instagram for pictures of the ladybug intruder and other behind-the-scenes fun.

We also discuss whether biscotti should be considered a sweet breadstick or a tea crouton. Josh makes a strange ad for a fictitious Japanese noodle company. Amanda talks about her slight obsession with Hallmark movies. Julia has very strong feelings toward Love Actually. Adam breaks down what a crunch burp is and gives advice about how to break it to your friends that you don't like their favorite movie.

Welcome to our first episode! Since Thanksgiving was not too long ago (and since this was a requested topic), we thought we'd talk a bit about our family's holiday traditions. As much as we love tradition, our family is pretty non-traditional. Now that we're mostly all adults, the traditions have kind of gone out the window. Oh, and you also get to hear our very first guest, Jose Panchito, Adam's bird. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
