0 Episode 60 – Sexy Bond & Vampire Deer!
Adam and I had a FANTASTIC time this week taping Episode 60 with Katie Best & Maianne Preble, where we discussed A LOT and NOTHING at the same time. Great banter, super funny, and somewhat saucy.
We can blame all of that on this week’s Mic Check, as we started on that foot, and never left it. We talk about “Skyfall”, sexy James Bonds, Bond pornos, car pornos, and so much more.
We did break away from the raunch with a few other conversations, but a lot of our mid-episode call-backs dealt with the fun and funny conversations. You can hear this week’s Mic Check by clicking here.
0 Episode 59 – 11/06/12 feat. Caity Shea Robertson & Dave Wheeler
Dave and Producer Caity join Dan and Adam in the Wheels Brewing Co Studio on ELECTION NIGHT! And it’s also 99% election coverage free! Everyone chats about what they’ve been viewing, or listening to, recently, plus a bit of news. There’s a little bit of everything in this one, as Dave, Caity, Adam and Dan are no strangers to riffing from conversation to conversation. Plus, we play Movie Bluff!

0 Episode 59 – We don’t discuss the election … mostly

Happy Thursday, folks! It’s time for this week’s Mic Check!
We had a fun time this week, especially since it was Election Day! Actually … we were all somewhat nervous, as many of the ballot initiatives and politicians we supported had reported “neck & neck” right up to election day. We knew it would be hard to stay away from it, so we do actually discuss the code we developed to convey results without bringing the election into it.
Otherwise, we’ve effectively (though not officially) done away with the Mic Check theme topic and/or question. We’ve worked our way to this nice even plane where we can just start riffing with our guests, and then we’re through the Mic Check without even thinking about it.
We bounce all over the place for this Mic Check, including, but not limited to, the following: “Avatar”, The Quadratic Equation, Star Wars, “Wreck it Ralph”, our Polling Places, Cheat Codes, and Family TV watching experiences (but not necessarily in that order).
Alright. You’ve read enough. Time to take a listen. CLICK HERE. ENJOY!
0 Episode 58 – 10/28/12 feat. Amber Hendricks & Spencer Knapp
Amber and Spencer joined Dan and Adam in the Wheels Brewing Co Studio in Minneapolis for a post ‘night on the town’ recovery, and chat about exposure to streaming signals. It’s a chill Sunday in the studio, and we discuss what everyone is watching, including Amber and Spencer’s first steps into “Doctor Who”. After that, everyone opts for a few rounds of Build a Title. Enjoy!

0 Episode 58 – Murderous Energy Drinks & The Lottery
It’s a late night/early morning (depending on how you look at it) BONUS TRACK!
We had Amber Hendricks and Spencer Knapp in the studio this Sunday, after we were all out celebrating Adam and Producer Caity’s birthdays, so we recovered, and chatted through any lingering hangovers.
We have gotten really good at letting conversations flow through our Mic Checks, rather than posing off the cuff, random questions. This week followed that new code. Lots of chatting and riffing about apps, babies, energy drinks, and more!
On top of that, if you’re rusty on how Build a Title works (the game we play on this week’s episode), make sure to listen in, as we review the rules with Amber and Spencer.
It’s also worth it to check out this week’s episode page, as we have posted photos of a bonus guest who stopped by during the game-portion of the show.
0 Episode 57 – 10/24/12 feat. Kris McNeal & Jeff Priesmeyer
Kris joined via Skype in Duluth, while Jeff joined Dan and Adam in the Wheels Brewing Co Studio in Minneapolis for a high school reunion, and to talk about streaming stuff. Kris talks briefly about his experience around the Great Lakes, and he and Jeff talk about what they’re watching online right now. There’s also a lot of great rambling, and then Kris and Jeff learn how to play “Movie Bluff”.

0 Episode 57 – Valiant & Valiant
We’re leaping into the future here at the Wheels Brewing Co Studio! It’s another partial web-based episode, as Kris McNeal joins us via Skype, with Jeff Priesmeyer along Adam and myself in the studio.
We have a few things to cover this week!
First! Before we actually tackled the Mic Check this week, I chatted with Kris about his recent Big Water Bike adventure, where he Zach Chase became the first people to circumnavigate the Great Lakes system on bicycles. You can learn more about it at their web site (www.bigwaterbike.com) or on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/bigwaterbike). We chatted for about 20 minutes about how the trip went, what drove him to do it, and the logistics of lodging and filming a documentary at the same. That interview is available today in the Bonus Tracks!
Once that interview wrapped up, we invited Jeff into the fray, as we discussed some of our recent favorite soundtracks that we’ve been cycling through, or any album, for that matter. A lot of great selections throughout that conversation, in case you’re looking for something new to listen to.
Next, Adam and I are trying to get into the habit of generating more articles, so you should see some more action on the web site soon!
Time for some Bonus Track action. Click here to check out the Mic Check and Interview with Kris McNeal!
0 Episode 56 – 10/16/12 feat. Jon “Alaska” Maakestad & Lauren “Lola” Schauer
“Alaska” and “Lola” join Dan and Adam in the studio to discuss the importance in finding neighbors who do not know how to encrypt Wi-Fi routers, and to discuss what they’re watching. This was a good cycle of discussion regarding what everyone is listening to, watching, and planning to watch, as “Alaska” and “Lola” discuss their upcoming adventures. ‘Bout half way through, everyone teaches “Alaska” how to play “Movie Bluff”. Good times. Take a listen!

0 Episode 55 – 10/09/12 feat. Molly Garczynski & Matt Walstead
Molly joins Dan and Adam via Apple FaceTime and Matt joins Dan and Adam in the studio to figure out whether or not Molly’s a robot, all the while, talking about what they’re streaming. Followed by that was many a tangent, some news, and a round of “Movie Bluff.” Molly and Matt are two really funny folks, and riffed well off of each other. Check it out!

0 Episode 55 – Eh?
Happy Late Thursday all! Sorry about the late posting, but it was a busy day here at the Wheels Brewing Co Studio.
Well, I mean … I assume it is. I’m at work during the day, but … you know, something might be going on.
I digress. Adam and I had a fantastic time this week with Matt here in studio in Minneapolis, MN, and Molly FaceTime-ing in from NYC. Matt and Molly are two really funny people, and it was great to have them in the same conversations.
The four of us had such chemistry from the get go that we didn’t actually have a Mic Check topic this week. We just started chatting and perpetuating the conversation until half of an hour went by.
And as an apology for dropping the Mic Check so late, I’ve also included an additional pre-episode bonus track! You can listen as Dan, Adam and Matt struggle to successfully connect with Molly via Skype. It’s some goofy fun.
