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.

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.

It’s time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin discuss their favorite mythological animals, celebrate 400 subscriptions on YouTube, and give a shout out to November being Men’s Health Awareness Month. Next, Doug talks about how his daughter is getting funnier, which leads to the dorks telling each other jokes, and Doug ultimately sharing a revelation he’s had about the Star Wars franchise: the Empire was full of bad managers. The nerds talk about bad managers in real life, why companies shouldn’t force employees back into the office, and the benefits of working in an office.

Things are wrapped up with another Ask Practical Doug, where Doug and Justin answer an AITA question from Reddit about a man who decided to go against his late grandfather’s dying wishes and sold his home.

We’re back again with another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin give some spoiler free reactions to the first two episodes of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel, The Rings of Power. They chat about their initial thoughts before diving into the limited constructive criticism and the unabashedly absurd hate the show has gotten. The nerds talk about the butthurt boys who are nit picky about the details of a fantasy world and the butthurt boys who are mad that there are non-white characters in this show. The dorks wrap things up with another Ask Practical Doug segment featuring a question about whether avoiding a friend’s Game of Thrones-themed wedding featuring required high-Valyrian language makes them a bad person.
