Episode 75 - Star Spanger Banger

Episode 75 - Star Spanger Banger

This week on Pants Optional, the dads take the show on the road to Westwood Golf Course for an episode filled with laughs, terrible golf, and even worse musical knowledge. The guys put their ears to the test trying to identify songs from different decades, debate the worst things about being an adult that you have to spend money on, and break down Jsumps' golf game, including his unique ability to fish golf balls out of the pond.  And because no great dad gathering is complete without food, don't forget... we have pizza! Grab your clubs, kick back, and enjoy another episode that somehow starts on the golf course and ends everywhere else.

Episode 74 - More Boom, More Bang, More Iowa

On this episode of Pants Optional, the dads head to Newton's favorite fireworks tent to sit down with Brian Shores, owner of Store for Homes Furniture, to hear how the Central Iowa Fireworks tent got its start. As always, the conversation quickly goes off the rails as the guys talk cars, steak dinners, lawn mowing, questionable fireworks stories, and life in general. Be sure to listen closely for a special deal code that will score you a great discount at the Central Iowa Fireworks tent. Grab a chair, enjoy the laughs, and get ready for another classic episode of Pants Optional.

Episode 73 - Whiskey Drink

On Episode 73, the guys get an exclusive inside look at one of the most anticipated new venues in Newton, Whiskey Drink. Owner Jason Ray joins the show to share the story behind the dream, the challenges of bringing it to life, and all the exciting plans he has in store for the space. From concept to grand opening, Jason gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn an idea into reality.  Whether you're interested in entrepreneurship, local business, sports, family life, or just listening to four dads try unsuccessfully to stay focused, this episode has a little bit of everything. So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and join us for another entertaining episode of Pants Optional

Episode 72 - Too Hot for Pants

This week’s episode dives into questionable food choices, rare bird sightings around the farm that may or may not just be somebody’s escaped chicken, summer plans that probably won’t happen, and that elite Midwest feeling when Memorial Day Weekend officially unlocks “leave the garage door open” season. Grab a cold drink, fire up the mower you’ve been meaning to fix, and join the conversation, pants remain optional.

Episode 71 - Seven Months Later & Still Off the Rails

After a 7-month break, Pants Optional is finally back behind the mics for Episode 71, and absolutely nothing has changed. We dive into sports, family life, lawn tractors for some reason, and all the nostalgic stuff from childhood that somehow unlocked core memories for everybody. It’s part catch-up, part therapy session, and part complete train wreck. Lots of laughs, random stories, and the kind of conversations that only happen when four dads sit around with microphones and no real plan.
