How Was Your Weekend

Episode 52 | What’s My Role Here?

The guys get back in the mix and immediately do what they do best: spiral into jokes, weird questions, and a story that should have been simple but turned into a week-long meat project. They talk Thanksgiving and the reality of showing up to family stuff with kids, unpack the idea of figuring out “your role” in different rooms, and then the episode takes a hard left into snack sticks, eBay parts, Walmart runs, and the kind of “we have everything we need, but we have nothing we need” frustration that makes you want to become a vegetarian for five minutes.

Episode 51 | Why Reconnecting Feels Awkward

This one starts tired, honest, and a little unmotivated — and somehow turns into one of those conversations that sneaks up on you. The guys recap a weekend full of family time, aquariums, zoo trips, hunting mishaps, dryer repairs, bourbon finds, and a borderline-aggressive raccoon problem. Along the way, they stumble into a much deeper question: how do you actually reconnect with people you care about when life keeps getting busier? From busted dryer belts and frozen band-aids to missed texts, “I miss you” messages, and the pressure we put on ourselves to be better friends, this episode is about intentionality — not perfection. It’s funny, reflective, and very real, with the kind of tangents that only happen when you’re talking with people who genuinely know each other. Quiet moments, loud stories, and a reminder that sometimes the hardest part of friendship is simply reaching back out.

Episode 50 | The Onion

In this 50th-episode special, the guys are finally together in person — fire pit crackling, marshmallows out, and absolute chaos from the jump. The conversation drifts into what this podcast has become: a place to show up, be honest, and stay connected. Chandler shares the origins of the podcast — the nervousness, the dreaming, and the intention behind asking “How was your weekend?” in a world where nobody slows down long enough to answer it honestly. Kyle and Justin talk through the evolution of their friendship, the onion analogy, and the funny truth that setting up the microphones often becomes the excuse to actually sit, breathe, and hang out. It’s reflective, funny, warm, and very Episode 50 energy — a celebration of friendship, intentionality, and doing something meaningful together, even if it takes 15 minutes just to get through the intro.

Episode 49.5 | Breakfast Bourbon

The band’s back together — and it’s Episode 49.5. The Whistlepigs are undefeated from the third-base dugout (Kyle’s keeping score) and Justin’s fresh off a “Seven Wonders” road trip through the Bourbon Trail. We get into pumpkin patches and apple orchards and why breakfast bourbon at 10 a.m. makes an alarming amount of sense.

Episode 49 | Quiet Mornings, Loud Wins

This week, it’s just Chandler and Kyle — and they’re covering everything from bathroom Beethoven to deer tags and dad jokes. Chandler opens with a wild story about a guy blasting classical music during a restroom break (yes, you read that right), and somehow it spirals into a surprisingly wholesome talk about routines, recharging, and the art of not losing your sanity. From early-morning hunts and spiders in tree stands to thunderstorms, urgent-care trips, and Whistlepig softball wins, the guys bounce between chaos and calm like only they can. It’s unfiltered, funny, and full of those “yep, that’s real life” moments that make the weekend feel human again.
