Two Guys on the Phone

Mac and Kevin find the time for one last podcast - they enlighten each other on the history of DST! Set your clocks folks, they spring forward into new ideas and fall back on old habits - it's worth a listen, you'll get the time back next November!

Mac and Kevin...and Halsey...and Dylan...and at one point a guy knocking on the door...all get back together to for a scary tale about Halloween! Is it our best episode? No, definitely not. This is not a trick - there's no treat in here. Listeners be warned: it's a fright. No complaints from us if you ghost this one.

Mac and Kevin break out the tin foil hats and rip out their tracking chips to tell you the stuff nobody wants you to know...but who is really pulling the strings? This week, they get lost in some light conspiracy theories...or do they??? The government definitely listened in, so you should too!

Mac and Kevin launch into another episode about existential threats orbiting around us -- space junk! Do you know what's going on up there? Neither did we, until 20 minutes before airing this! Thanks to Josh and Chuck at Stuff You Should Know for all the info. In the spirit of conservation, we recycled most everything for this one.

Mac and Kevin review The Queen's Gambit (spoilers included), and spend the middle game discussing chess in general, before calling adjournments, Two mates, it's chess what you need to close out the year. Be sure to check it out.

Hot diggity dog, they're back again! Mac and Kevin return from their indefinite sabbatical to put hot dogs through the meat grinder in this week's episode. It's a sight to behold; you never sausage a spectacle!

Mac and Kevin found thyme for a second podcast in as many weeks! Talk about heating up. They pepper this episode with conversations ranging from Scoville units to vegetable trees - it's allspice. And of course, always in good taste.

Mac and Kevin return once more, this time to discuss those bright ideas that don't get enough light shone on them. Mac's got big news, Kevin's got a fresh haircut, and these ideas don't get enough credit. Still subscribed? That's surprising! No longer subscribed? That's insulting.

Mac and Kevin dive deep into the topic of the Mammalian Diving Reflex this week in this breathtaking hour. That's not all, animals love magnets, idioms love idiots, and Ruby loves barking. It's a swimmingly fun episode, with lots of depth. Jump on in, the water's warm!

Mac and Kevin ride the ups and downs of roller coasters in this week's loopy episode. Ruby Lou makes a guest audio appearance as well, inquiring on the whereabouts of a floating plastic bag, You must be this tall to listen to the pod.

Mac and Kevin fly into a new topic - pigeons! Some people call them rats with wings, but that's just pigeon-holing them. These little grey doves have a storied history, and a potentially clinical future. Listen in for the scoop on the coop!

Mac and Kevin size up the newest shape in this week's podcast - the scutoid! After being polygon for a while, they get their act in shape and give an unbiased account - no angle - of this newly discovered building block. Scoo scoo!

Mac and Kevin shake it up for season three as they cover Earth tremors in this week's podcast. They don't scale back on Richter even though it's not his fault. This one is seismic. Get comfortable, it's a tectonic plateful.

Mac and Kevin are back (again), and cycle through the process of waste disposal. They com-post their thoughts, reuse old jokes, and trash the tried one-liners. But mostly, they play a recycling game live on-air, a real upcycled use of time.

Mac and Kevin sail into the new year on a wave of concern, taking a deep dive into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Frequently called Garbage Island, there's a lot of misconceptions, a lot of finger pointing, but mostly a lot of plastic floating around, and that makes us blue! It may take 10 minutes before we get on topic, but that doesn't mean this episode is trash.

Mac and Kevin whet their palette on ice cream in this week's episode. It's a sweet one. Not great for your derriere, but great for your dairy air. The sound quality takes a rocky road once again, and the intro is a little napoleon, but fight through that brain freeze and you'll love the content in the middle; it's the cookies and cream of the crop.

Mac and Kevin jump straight to the pop science instead of snoozing through the scholarly research on sleeping in this week's episode. It's a dreamy topic, and won't leave you groggy. Plus, another national anthem send off, see if you can recognize the circadian rhythm to this one.

Mac and Kevin run around this week in the world of Bill Cassidy, inventor and owner of the world-renowned St. Louis City Museum. They climb into his unique personality, his uncharacteristic business style, and the incredibly enjoyable output that come from both. It might just be playgrounds for applause.

Mac and Kevin lift themselves past audio issues this week, with their second recording about elevators. Episode one was a bumpy ride, and was wrong on so many levels, so they had to repeat. We are floored too. But this episode will be Muzak to your ears, so press that button!

Season two is off to a hoppy start! Mac covers some lager than life aspects about beer and then Kevin adds a few corny facts on bourbon. Ale yeah! This one is neat. Plus...Two Guys on the Phone is now committed to every-other-Monday releases for season two, so start marking your calendars. Cheers!

Mac and Kevin discuss the lead up and explosion of the Syrian civil war in this week's installment. It's been dreary there for six years, with no signs of a Sunni day ahead. But who is fighting who, and how come? Listen in, and Damascus any follow up questions you may have after!

Mac is back from Costa Rica and so is the discussion about religion! This week Mac and Kevin attempt to renew their listeners faith as they discuss additional belief structures. The audio isn't anything to scripture home about, but the content is divine.

Mac and Kevin pray on religion in this week's episode. First, what was the genesis? Then, they were dying to talk about the afterlife. This one ends abruptly, but don't worry -- religion is reincarnated with a follow up episode later this week, so keep the faith. Oh god, these jokes are bad.

They're back! Mac and Kevin return from an extended siesta (Mac is in Mexico) to swipe through credit card history and explore the emergence of the chip. It's a successful transaction.

After realizing something was lost in translation this week and they studied different topics, Mac and Kevin travel back to ancient Mexico. They pay tribute to Maya and Aztec culture, vamos up to the Mexican Revolution, and then battle through the Mexican-American war. Probably more siesta than fiesta this week, but hopefully it finds you bueno!

Mac and Kevin are pulled into the topic of black holes this week, and spend some spacetime explaining the gravity of the situation in this star-packed episode. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't suck.

Mac and Kevin get back into the market this week, trading tidbits on the stock exchange. They share what they know, what they don't know, and what they have derived from research in their time off. It's worth a listen!

Mac and Kevin discuss the buzz around Honeybees. Hive been looking forward to it all week. It's a sweet one!

Mac and Kevin serve up the history of Thanksgiving on this week's installment. This is a meaty one, plus a little corny.

This week Mac and Kevin start by clearing up some lobster myths (boy did that make them red!) and then dive into the weird world of animal mating. It's a jungle out there.
