The Connect More boys can hold a job, hold a grudge...and hold onto a bunch of old, outdated stuff from the '80s & '90s that's just gotta go. You'll learn that PIebald Pheasant isn't a British detective show - it's some dusty taxidermy on Ween's shelf.

Then we dig into one of the most controversial topics you can bring up with any Midwesterner: What's the best convenience store? The guys talk about this WAY longer than you'd expect, with topics ranging from gummy peach slices to Italian starchitect Renzo Piano.

For the "You Gonna Finish That?" segment, the boys review what's growing in their gardens and how they're dealing with the zucchinis that magically appear on the doorstep this time of year. What do you do with them? Noodles? Chocolate cake? Bread? We want to hear your ideas, too!

Things wrap up with a quick whiparound to figure out what the fellas will do for a buck and get to the bottom of John's trust issues.

Can't get enough Connect More?? Well, you're in luck! Our producer has some burning questions that didn't make the cut in our main episode, so YOU get a bonus set of stories! Let's crush this! It's a shortie, so you'll be done by the time it takes your Netscape browser to download Smooth by Rob Thomas & Santana from Napster.

Welcome to the "Secret Origins" episode of Connect More where the guys reveal how they got the (for the most part) stupid nicknames that you hear occasionally during the pod. Remember when movie soundtracks were actually the soundtracks of our lives? The boys recall some of their favorites, including a few terrible movies that had great soundtracks ([cough]...Dirty Dancing...[cough]) Like the good Midwesterners that they are, they also talk about the weather with a few stories about how they navigate through the world as meteorological nerds. The closing whip-around is - believe it or not - a review of the boys' favorite TV theme songs. Use the comments to let us know if we missed your favorite theme song.

Can't get enough of Connect More?? Well, it's your lucky day! Our producer decided to throw a surprise question our way, and now you get some BONUS stories from the Connect More crew. Hop on the bus - let's take a ride! It's a quick one - you'll be done listening before your pasta is cooked al dente.

The boys get cooking with a spirited debate on the art of grilling, from a caveman-style Tomahawk steak that required a power drill to classic Iowa pork chops and bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers. Their group-chat was fire this week, so the fellas recap of some of their favorite jokes and stories, including trashy/classy, Hogan's Heroes, and albino pythons. How's that for an ecelctic mix?? Also known for their keen eye for what's hot and what's not, the guys recall some trends (like mix tapes) that should be brought back...and some that should stay forgotten (like Olestra. Ew.) Bonus content: Chess King-related PTSD from our boy Ween. For the whiparound, you'll get a quick list of the best albums (so far!) from the 21st century. Did they get it right? Probably not.

Remember that "Behind the Music" show on VH1? This episode is our version of that, but with MUCH less heroin and squandered fortunes. Get to know the geniuses behind the pod and glean a few insights about where our messed up sense of humor is coming from.

After years of procrastination, the boys have finally launched their podcast to capture the quick, unhinged energy of their texting group chat. Join Brian, Eric, Jason & John as they stay grounded by sharing some of the good stuff going on in their lives before griping about a few current trends that should be kicked to the curb. Get some tips for the upcoming fantasy football season before launching into a good ol' fashioned whiparound with funny band names that the fellas stumbled across last week.
