Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve

TTBB 80 - This Is Not Fine

Joel and Steve discuss the Supreme Court's repeal of Roe v. Wade.  That's it.  If you're pretty OK with that - this is not your podcast.

(Let's face it - anyone that is OK with that stopped listening to Joel and Steve a long time ago.)

Joel and Steve are OK with this going on their permanent record.

TTBB 76 - One Big Button!!

It's Joel's turn to have Covid! 

In TTBB 76 Joel takes a Covid test Live to see if he's still got it.  Joel and Steve talk about that, Joel being bummed about Pearl Jam having to cancel shows because of Covid, and how Covid isn't really a thing anymore. #Whew

They also cover more serious topics - such as whether or not Pop Tarts should actually be toasted, and why anyone would choose a Snickers Ice Cream Bar over a Frozen Snickers.  Heady Stuff.

Be sure to look out for polls on the above topics on Instagram @TryingToBeBetterPodcast, and/or email your thoughts on any of the above to ttbbpodcast@gmail.com!  Hey, please also Like/Follow/Subscribe/Review the podcast wherever you're listening to it - thanks!

TTBB 75 - Happy Mother’s Day!

Joel and Steve get together to talk about Mother's Day, Steve's quick trip to Denver to see The Cult, cults, documentaries about cults, book clubs, religious freedom, Joel's upcoming trip to Vegas (baby) to see Pearl Jam, 'Eargasm' earplugs, Kearney NE, and how they're looking forward to the sequel to Wars for Oil: Wars for Water!

Also - regardless about your opinion on the band Phish, check this video out for a few minutes.  The in-concert special effect is pretty amazing:

TTBB 74 - Dogs Are Codependent

Joel and Steve attempt to record a podcast after a one-week hiatus, but have to work around the needs/desires of Sunny the Pug. 

They talk about sensory deprivation floats, ASMR, the new movie Everything Everywhere All At Once (which everyone should go see), Steve getting contacts, and having to (sort of) work for a living!

TTBB 73 - Challenge... Accepted?

Joel and Steve *ALMOST* bailed on this week entirely due to... Reasons, but decided that would be lame so they got together for a shorty episode that may be short time-wise, but it packs a lot in!  Steve grapples with his memories not being entirely accurate, Joel has to accept the fact that maybe he's good at what he does - and they both acknowledge that they have more work to do.

TTBB 71 - Never Miss A Sunday Show!

Joel and Steve start this one off by having literally no plan, and end up talking about dropping a bunch of coin to see Joel's favrorite Big Rock Group in Las Vegas, going to see really fantastic local original music, The Chosen - a crowd-funded series about Jesus, Miracles, Reincarnation, and the Dark Side of the Moon!
