For years Doug Cochrane and Justin Strandlund have been good friends and frequent improv partners. They share a love of debating any topic, although their discussions usually come back around to two things: movies and space. Their most infamous debate involved a 2 hour discussion (while at work) about the actual possibility of time travel and it's potential ramifications on mankind; this included a full diagram drawn on a wall-sized whiteboard. Time well spent. MindGap is what happens when they sit together in front of a microphone and press record.

09/19/22 • 94 min

We’re back again with another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin start by discussing some of the spicy comments they received from last week’s episode (thanks for the engagement!).

The dorks then talk about their one year anniversary of starting strength training including a fitness update from Doug and Justin, how bad form will wreck your body, their current expectations on their body image, plus what’s changed most for Justin, and some of Doug’s biggest wins so far.

The heroes talk about how to stay motivated, Doug fills Justin in on his daily routine, and they talk about their relationship with food. This devolves into a debate about whether or not Cheerios are a healthy food as well as a deep discussion about milk preferences.

Things are wrapped up with another Ask Practical Doug segment featuring a fan question about roundabouts.
