Podcast For Your Life: Recent Episodes
Jam and Jason
Two non-experts share personal stories and unsolicited but much-needed analyses of life, topic by topic, in 15 minutes or less. Thoughts from our life, for yours. By Jam and Jason.
Every week-ish, we share thoughts, on a broad topic, for no longer than 15 minutes. We try to stay away from the trendy, and away from topics we could be considered experts on. Essentially the only promises we make are that every episode will include thoughts, and be shorter than 15 minutes.
Spam. Yep, it's not just a pretty first name anymore. It's in a can, it's in our emails. Let's taste it and see what all the fuss is about.

Money, potentially the most complicated topic we've ever tried to tackle on PFYL. Have we bitten off more than we can chew? Hard to say. But I'll tell you it's definitely hard to chew on money. Especially coins.

Head coverings. What are they? Are they functional or stylish? Jam shares some thoughts about the reverse cap style. Jason recalls an old memory with his peewee baseball team that blows Jam's mind. We tip our hats at our listeners.
Jason and Jam talk about how awesome electricity is for your life and Jam shares about that one time he dropped a handful of AA batteries into a glass of water. Yikes?
Don't feel sorry us, but it may be worthwhile to be a little concerned. In our spare time, in our brief little weekly escape from this crumbling world, we talked about doing the dishes. Send help.

As humans we've tried to find ways to get there faster, but we still have to walk. Animals too. We can't drive our cars into our kitchens. Which leads us to the existential question: would you walk 500 miles and then walk 500 more?

Books: The Crossover. This latest nugget bridges 2 podcasts from the same "for your life" universe. We're honored to have Melissa Collini, host of Chemistry For Your Life, join us this episode for a page-turning episode about books. The plot thickens and the twist is pretty twisty.

Fans. What are they and why hasn't AC replaced them? Probably because they're more than a device that pushes air. So much more. We dive into some of the top theories about where fans came from, dating back to Ancient Egypt. Nope, not Ancient Aliens. Pharaoh, Pharaoh, oh baby, let my people go so they can fan themselves.

New Milk! Brand new milks. Now available. If you're having a little deja who, it's because we've talked about milk before. A while ago, we did a sort of overview of milk. This time, we're exclusively talking about the new milks. Lot's of folks don't like to call non-dairy milks milk. In this episode, we state a few reasons why those folks don't have any friends. Out with the old. In with the new. Shmilk, it's what's for brunch.

Flags. What's going on there? This week we dive into this topic with no caution. It's not that controversial right? Where'd flags come from? Why do we still have them around? Why are some of them so terrible? Definitely can't answer that one. Maybe flags had a clear purpose at one point, but what is it now? God help us.

Part 2! We're continuing our talk about gardens with Chauncey Allmond, a friend of Jason's. What are gardens? What isn't a garden? Are there accidental gardens? This is a first for us, but our conversation with Chauncey went longer than expected, if you haven't heard part 1, go back and listen to it first, not that it will actually make more sense.
Here's Chauncey Allmond's garden consulting website if you're interested in learning more about what he does.

We have a guest again! We're talking about gardens with Chauncey Allmond, a friend of Jason's. What are gardens? What isn't a garden? Are there accidental gardens? This is a first for us, but our conversation with Chauncey went longer than expected, enough for us to have two episodes worth. So why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Distance between people. Like what's up with that? Friends, family, significant others? We don't really know but we've certainly experienced it. Is it a good thing? Can it really sustain friendships? Is it more common now that we have many connecting technologies and we don't just write letters?

Well, no spoilers here in the notes. You'll have to listen to hear how we tip-toe through this landmine field of a topic. What's underwear? Why do we still wear it? Is it just an evolutionary loin cloth holdover? We're no anthropologists, but we are life-long underwearers (so far).

Waiting. Waiting for your life. Waiting for your life to happen? To be over? Waiting for your food? Waiting on your wife to finish getting ready so you can go visit your friend Stephanie? Waiting for the right time to throw away your husband's tie-dye turtleneck that you hate? What is it, why do we do it, do we do it well? Do we have to?

So ya like, I guess parades are still a thing people do and they must have really good reasons for continuing to do them? What are parades? How'd they start? Why do we keep doing them? Will we ever be free?

#079 Shorts
What's up with shorts? Where'd they come from? Are they the next evolution in legwear? Or do they represent the past? Also are we that lazy that the only word we could come up with was shorts?

#077 Silence
This week Jam and Jason dig into silence, the very unsung hero. What is silence, is it golden? Do you love it, do you hate it? Is it rarer now than it used to be? Where is it? Can I hold it?
Topic suggested by Lauren in Texas. She wanted us to just fill the entire episode with silence and not really speak at all. I think a lot of people wish we'd do that in real life too. So we didn't do that but we liked the topic in general. Sorry Lauren!

#076 Handwriting
This week Jam and Jason talk about handwriting, or "writing with your hand" as they say in Britain. Is handwriting going away? Is it responsible for the independence of the U.S.? What makes bad and good handwriting? Where does cursive play into all this? Why do we even have cursive? How did we get from hieroglyphs to letters? Come ask these questions with us.

#075 Kissing
This week we're talking about kissing, the most hyped-up, least logical act of affection. Does it need to be logical? Maybe not. But why do we want to put our mouths places? Why do we want to put our mouths on other mouths? Why is there a chocolate named after something that usually involves two mouths, when you pretty much can only use a maximum of one mouth to eat it?

#074 Breakfast
This week we're talking about breakfast, at the same time, we're breaking our fast from food related topics, we haven't done one in quite a while. Also Jam talks about this incredible omelet Jason made for him once. It was life changing. What is breakfast? What breakfast foods do we call breakfast that really aren't? Why is breakfast in the U.S. so unhealthy? Why is the U.S. so unhealthy? Why is the U.S.?

#072 Ellipses
The three dots that surround us every day. In our books, quotes, movie posters, and the text messages we don't want to reply to. Where'd they come from? Were they always so evil or passive aggressive? How did they go from potentially functional literary device to being the thing that people use whenever they want? We don't know and even if we did I'm not sure we'd be legally allowed to tell you.

YOU KNOW WE'RE LIVING IN A SOCIETY! What's a society and why? Why do we group together into families, tribes, villages, towns, cities, states, countries? Is it just to guard each other from wild animals while we go to the bathroom?

#070 Playgrounds
Playgrounds. Or as they used to say it back on the old frontier, playin' in the ground. Back in the old west, all you could do to pass the time was roll around in the dirt and hope tomorrow would come. For many people, tomorrow didn't come. It was a dark time.

#067 Dreams
Delve into the horror, weirdness, and frequent mundanity of dreams. Why do we think them? Why don't our brains go to sleep when our bodies do? Why aren't we in control? We don't know and we won't ever know. And there's nothing we can do about it.

#058 Toys
This is one of the more fun topics we've explored on the podcast. Fun as in we remember how much fun toys were growing up and how much we wish we could go back in time and play with LEGOs again for hours. Jason is thinking about working with HR to institute "toy time" at work but he seems to be hitting mental roadblocks. Possible petition to follow. Stay tuned and listen to this episode in the meantime.

#053 Relaxation
As humans, it is beneficial to our continued survival to set aside time to "relax," or as some humans say now "netflix and chill." For centuries, humans have spent time relaxing so that they can recuperate and get back to killing animals and eating them. It's clearly an advantageous evolutionary adaptation. Or so we thought.

People we don't know. People who are strange? "Don't talk to strangers." "Don't take candy from them." "Don't look at them." "Don't think about them." Etcetera. Things we've all been told since we were children. But who are strangers really?

046 Brothers (part 3)
The third part of our first ever episode series. By the end, we'll hopefully find an answer to the horribly disgusting, intangible question: What are brothers?
We're finishing the series featuring Jam's younger brother Judah! Thanks for being on the show Judah. This episode a more qualitative look at a brother relationship than you ever wanted and we are sorry. Clearly we aren't trying to make any money here.

045 Amusement Parks
Let's be honest, as humans, we are incredibly bored. Over time our demands for entertainment, or amusement if you will, have gotten higher and higher. It takes a lot to get us above our constantly increasing threshold of boredom. Amusement parks are one of the ways we do that for some reason.

044 Pranks
The classic, harmless pastime. Coming from humble beginnings, the "Prank" really came into its own when it was embraced by our Founding Fathers. They pulled off the first ever large-scale prank: treason against Britain. It was a shock at the time but now we're certainly all laughing about it.

042 Packaging
What package does life come in? As humans, we like to put things inside or around other things. Sometimes it strictly serves a function. Other times it seems to serve no function. Packaging has long been part of our daily lives, but it changes over time. You could argue that it's an incredibly boring topic, but boring is what we do here at Podcast For Your Life. So take a seat, it'll only take 15 minutes of your time.

This week we're back to our regularly scheduled programming, and we're talking about singing. Don't worry, this isn't a musical episode. What makes singing singing? Why do we do it? How old is it? Am I any good at it? Would you could you in the rain?

040 Brothers (part 2/3)
The second part of our first ever episode series. By the end, we'll hopefully find an answer to the horribly intimidating, ever-elusive question: What are brothers?
We're continuing the series featuring Jam's older brother, whose name is also... Caleb! Thanks for being on the show Caleb. This episode includes more detailed stories than you ever wanted.
039 Sour
Arguably a followup to our spicy episode, but about sour. Things are sour, candies, fruits, sauces, you know how it is. But how are things sour, and also why?
Sour: It's for your life.
Topic suggested by Brandon in Texas but originally from California — or is it Canada. I can't remember.
038 Salads
What makes a salad a salad? Are there things we call salads that aren't really salads? Are salads good? Are they for our bodies? #saladforlunch
037 Brothers (part 1/3)
This is our first ever series of episodes. By the end, we'll hopefully find an answer to the horribly intimidating, ever-elusive question: What are brothers?
We're starting off the series featuring Jason's brother, Caleb. Thanks for being on the show Caleb!

036 Lawncare
The thing we've been telling kids to get off of since the start of the cold war.
035 Personalities
Now that we've talked about expletives and survived, any other risky topic seems pretty safe now. So, personalities.
Topic sort of but not really suggested by Gabe in Texas.
033 Medley (part 1)
If you thought we couldn't pack even more thoughts into a 15-minute piece of your life, then maybe we shouldn't have tried. So here's a medley of thoughts.
Topics suggested by many people, including us.
032 Hugs
Brace yourself to embrace yourself. Or someone else. Either way, this one is about hugs.
Feat. special guest Katherine. Topic suggested by Katherine.
031 Backpacks
Ya so we're talking backpacks. Their supposed origins (without any research), their purpose, and their specific use in our lives. We might even talk about some backpacks of legend, so check it out.
"Backpacks, bring everything everywhere."

030 Naps
The first sport that humans ever invented. Also the easiest. And least competitive. There really are no downsides to it.
029 Egg
"From egg we came, and to egg we return." -Socrates
Topic suggested by Cierra in Texas.
028 Infomercials
The only way we could do this topic justice is by making the entire episode one long infomercial. Enjoy!
Topic suggested by Christine in Texas. Thanks Christine!
027 Grocery Shopping
If you've been putting off going to the grocery store, let us help you put it off a little longer by offering you this episode as an imperfect substitute. Neat!
Topic suggested by Sarah in TX. Thanks Sarah!
026 Habits
Do you have enough habits? You might need more. We have some great ideas for new, very cool habits for your life. Don't miss out. Call now.
025 Talk Shows
In order to talk about talk shows more effectively, we invited our very first guest on the show, Jason's wife Marlene. Essentially we turned our podcast into a talk show so we could talk about talk shows.
024 Compliments
This could be the most positive episode we ever do. Not necessarily in a good way.
023 Expletives
Don't worry. This episode is pretty much clean. And despite your better judgment, you really do want to click play.
Episode Inspired by Jam's parents.
022 Zoos
Zoos, what are they? And more importantly, why?
Topic inspired by Jason's friend that works at the Dallas Zoo.
021 Oil: You can't win.
This week we talk about oils. All shapes, sizes, viscosities, and even varying degrees of edibility.

020 Pockets
Another episode in the bag. Or I guess pocket.
Topic sort of suggested by our coworker Lara. Kind of. She doesn't want to take credit but it wouldn't have happened without her so she can't really even have a counter-argument.
019 Fast Food
A fast episode coming at you fast about fast food. How fast is it? Less than 15 minutes of course.
Topic suggested by Carter H. in Oklahoma. Thanks Carter!
018 Age
It's older than science. Don't fall into the trap of hating and fearing age. Instead, fall in love with your age, and everything that comes with it.
015 Soap
Soap, still the most popular piece of technology if you ask me.
Topic suggested by John P. in Texas.
012 Nicknames
Unravel the messy, mysterious knot of nicknames. For some, it's a source of joy, for others, heartache. Never forget.

Little did he/she know that he/she was about to waste his/her time listening to this episode.

Get energized. Get synchronized. Get productive. Be integrity. Have team. Become Synergy.

We're really sorry about this episode, we'll try to be better from now on, ok?
007 Comedians
Eat. Pray. Laugh. Live. Love. Care. Invest wisely. Brush your teeth. Whatever.
006 Hash browns
In this political climate, it can be therapeutic to talk about something delicious and timeless. Hash browns.
