Three Guys in Three Cities

Josh and Allan rekindle their podcasting with "bloodies" and Christmas Ales. *Insert AI dialogue here*Did you grow up mispronouncing words because of your parents' accents? Do you find children's TV shows like Bluey fascinating in their influence on language development? We do too! In this episode, we share our personal anecdotes about our Irish accents, how they've influenced our speech, and how programs such as Bluey shape our children's language. We also navigate the world of GPS navigation apps, sharing the good, the bad, and the downright confusing from our personal experiences. Don't miss out on this fun-filled episode that blends laughter, insights, and some fascinating discussions on how media and technology shape our language and communication.Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy loves his family more than us. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): It's not a bloody.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan's mom got knocked up at the Frasier Arms. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

The guys discuss Allan's dinner and whether Jack Ryan would have allowed all these classified documents out of the White House. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy has the rock hard, chiseled features of a Hall of Fame Bus Driver. Who still doesn't know how to use Instagram.  Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Jason Bourne would kick Jack Ryan's ass.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan somehow managed to keep the show (mostly) on the rails.  Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

The guys get serious (as they can be) and talk about how to find your purpose. If you've been waiting for the right time to use the podcast as therapy, now probably still isn't it. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy taps into his spirituality to make a joke about having a lot of kids.Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Josh believes that there's more to this conversation than just having one purpose.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan made us talk about something serious, asked all the right questions, and STILL ended up coming up with the title.  Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

If there's two things that make Josh crazy, it's new year resolutions and neti pots. And renting third houses to wealthily galivant across the Pacific Northwest coast. I'm not sure what happened today is how Allan's real life radio show cohost wanted to make her podcast debut, but we haven't done anything right so far, so why start now?Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy tried. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Sometimes you just have to leave.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Given the rules we laid out in this episode, Allan is definitely MVP.  Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

In a stunning upset, the guys can't finish quick enough. The plan was to talk about the Christmas struggle, but ended up waxing dump button stories from Allan's Q104 days in Cleveland. Weird accents, too much swearing, and some guy Andy knows round out the show.  Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Hopefully Andy will figure out how to make a jingle sound like Jingle Bells. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): It's not a podcast without leaving halfway through to get the pizza delivery. Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Is still talking. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

Andy is playing rock star, Allan is playing radio, and Josh is just playing. The guys catch up and layout their plan to keep the band back together.  Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Runs a MEDIA company.Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Didn't even listen to half the conversation.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Tried to poison his actual radio show with a podcast bit.Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Batchin' it. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the awkward episode. Allan's dad died. Andy reveals a big secret about next week. Josh has never seen Top Gun.  Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Amazing Grace, my ass. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Seriously, what's so great about Top Gun?  Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan left a trail of bodies on the show today. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode that Andy wins MVP based solely on impressions of Allan's mom. You'd think a multi-time MVP like Andy would have better jingle timing, but we've been tricked again. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, you're Holtgreive. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): I mean, seriously, I think Andy like's Allan's mom more than Allan does. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Had to use a back-up file to put the show together and will be mad about it for weeks. Josh doesn't want to root for Deshaun Watson. Or Baker Mayfield.  Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Most of Allan's pee talk got edited out of the show, but it was still pretty disconcerting. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode we christen Andy as our resident Catholic. It's Lent, and that means talking about sacrifice and bad reasons to end up in the church's penalty box. The guys talk about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Major League Baseball's work stoppage, and Andy's foray into being a nursery rhyme. We also find out that we are definitely describing a three way tie for MVP as a circle jerk. Absolutely not*. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): What songs would you make Andy sing to you if he were your school bus driver?Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): When the task of fact-checking the conversation about Ukraine came up during the editing process, the podcast got a lot shorter.  Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan is ready to answer any Abraham Lincoln or Rod Carew questions you may have.*This totally what I'm calling it.Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode one of the guys falls off the wagon! The 3Guys dry challenge is down to two competitors! The guys drown their failures in some crime stories. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): We learned Andy is a reformed mushroom smuggler.Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): We're still waiting for Josh to say something smart this episode.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan did the podcast from his phone and didn't know how mushrooms work and STILL SOMEHOW WON MVP. I demand a recount.**Which will take seven seconds, since there's only three votes. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode Brian Vander Ark spills all of his secrets about The Verve Pipe. We talked about The Verve Pipe's early days in Michigan, the unique history of the hit song Freshmen, and Brian's experience living in the music world for the last 30 years. (Did you know, The Verve Pipe was almost called.... you're going to have to listen) Brian and The Verve Pipe released the 2021 album Threads (listen on Spotify), are announcing a tour soon, and are crushing it on social media! Give them a follow and help us support our friends in music! Brian Vander Ark (@BrianVanderArk, @TheVervePipe on Instagram, @vervepipe on TikTok): Brian was AWESOME. I mean, local music scene stories, making it big, farting in front of big time Hollywood actresses... the guy is content gold.Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy won the MVP on the strength of his relationship with Dick Withers in Coldwater.  Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Josh asked the best questions, told the best jokes, STILL LOST MVP TO ANDY.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan really should have won the MVP this episode. The man has connections to The Verve Pipe all the way back to before they were big. He's the through line between Andy, Josh, and Brian. There was no way for him to lose. (he lost)

The guys welcome Ryan Brown to the show. Ryan is a DC journalist at The Dispatch, former John Carrol Meet the Press Fellow, and closet Clevelander. Ryan told all his DC secrets about famous politicians! He tells stories about [redacted], [redacted], and the bathrooms in the Capital Building.  Ryan Brown (@Rbcardsfan105 on Instagram, @RyanP_Brown on twitter): Ryan ran away with the show. From his experience on Meet the Press to January 6th to, yes, the Capital bathrooms, Ryan helped us put a human perspective on what goes on in DC everyday. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy finally got to live out his dream of riding on his nephew Ryan's coattails.  Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): When you need a question about pee, Josh is your man. Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan tried very hard to have an actual interview while Andy and Josh spent the whole time trying to distract everyone bathroom humor.Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

Andy dominated this episode! From being 19 minutes late to his wife Emily showing up to talk about bumping bumpables to admitting to the show that he's got the perfect URL for the Domestic Problems website that he hasn't used.The guys also named an MVP whose voice has never actually been on the show and gave updates on the dry challenge. This episode doesn't suck! (at least not as much as the last one) We didn't talk about the Malort video today, but it's hilarious so I'm keeping the link here.  Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Did I mention Andy was late?  Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Gave some parenting advice about cellphones and had no idea switching to tea in the mornings would lead to soundbite he could use to blackmail Allan.Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): "bump bumpables" "suck suckables" "sac management"Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode the guys returned to their Three Guys format roots and talk all things alcohol! Don't worry, the boozing is all talk, since the guys are in the #3G3CDryChallenge. You're only in the show notes for the Malort video, so I'll put up here.   Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy beat Allan to everything except MVP today.I've honestly never seen someone dominate an episode and still lose. (BUT DID HE?!) Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Josh sticks up for Tito's Vodka, hates peach Schnapps, and what the hell is wrong with Moscow Mules? (a late MVP vote change may have happened...)Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan rode Andy's coattails all the way to the MVP win. A guy who will drink moonshine at the drop of a cowboy hat but won't touch Slivovitz is sus, if you ask me.Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode the guys make their triumphant return after a LONG holiday break. We had our listener Ray York on the show to talk to us about his experience having one-way arguments with us on his commute and to generally get in trouble messing around with a few podcasters.We talk about going into ANOTHER pandemic new year, what our new year headlines will be, and make some promises we're sure to break about 2022.  Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy needs a new mic. But he's also putting together an exciting 2022! I'm really looking forward to that OnlyFans. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Josh talked about getting creative in 2022 and doubts a man squeezing out the last drops of a sac of wine will win the #3G3CDryChallengeAllan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan Feemandered as hard as he could, but the best he could do is a tie for MVP.Ray (@RayYork on Instagram): He probably didn't say anything weird enough to be worried about his booming real estate career.Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode the guys talk about Thanksgiving. The holiday, the history, and their personal ties to the kick-off to the holiday season. The whole thing wraps up with smiles and laughs, and in less than 40 minutes. Just like a podcast should. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy loves everybody. I mean, you all expected that by now, right. The guy is too nice even for our Thanksgiving episode.Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Turkey? Bad. Canadian Thanksgiving? Pretty good. The holidays in Cleveland? The best. Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan rounded us up into a nice conversation about how we're actually the friends we've made along the way. He would've been the MVP, but we didn't vote for one this episode. Too bad. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode we find out why Andy's band Domestic Problems isn't in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy used to be so nice! But now that's he's been snubbed by the Rock Hall, he's got all kinds of opinions about who should be there. SMH. He managed to be a sore loser while winning the MVP. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Roughly 74% of everything Josh said about Aaron Rodgers got edited out. You're left with him being right about music and wrong about everything else.  Allan (@allanfee on Instagram): Allan decided our content and drove the episode today. He probably should've won MVP, but Andy had whiskey. Follow the show at @3guys3cities on Insta, Twitter, AND Facebook!

This is the episode the guys really let loose. They get real old, real fast while talking about inappropriate Kidz Bop songs and then somehow go even farther off the rails during the best athlete endorsements conversation. We need a movement. It's time for Great Lakes Brewing Company to step up and sponsor the podcast (or at least keep Josh entertaining.) Andy (@holtgreive on Instagram): Andy sang a song about Shaq that wouldn't have made it into any other podcast on this app. Josh (@joshflagner on Instagram): Josh mostly contributed Browns homerism and laughter.

Allan Fee, Narong Va, and Josh Flagner talk about the possible Russell Wilson trade in Seattle, and what a move like that would mean for the Seahawks organization.We also roll into the Tiger Woods news, and where we all were when we heard. From being selfish about it to immediately thinking back to Kobe, we're all over the fairway with our reactions. Narong's Cigar of the Week is a CAO Mortal Coil, a new cigar that brings back Andullo, the oldest fermentation method from the Dominican Republic. Wrapped in Connecticut Broadleaf, with a Connecticut Shade binder and a filler made with Dominican Andullo surrounded by Honduran Jamastran, Nicaraguan Esteli and Dominican Piloto Cubano, CAO Mortal Coil has a deep aroma that brings forth pre-light notes of sweetness and spice. The full-flavored, medium-bodied cigar opens to reveal nuttiness and a creamy, earthy sweetness. (This is also how Narong describes himself.)Check out the CAO Mortal Coil at SmallBatchCigar.com.Follow the hosts!Allan FeeTwitterInstagramNarong VaInstagramJosh FlagnerTwitterInstagram
