Bret and Josh dissect an article put out by Buzz Feed that claimed that growing up in the 80s was the worst. Was it though? Or perhaps it was the reason we do the things we do today. GenX rules!

Josh and Bret are super fans of our guest Mieke, and in this episode, they rap about the genesis of helicopter parenting, supervising children’s every move, and the wisdom of letting kids be kids.

Joined by friend of the show Rob for this episode ... and with a late appearance by "Seany-G". A bit hung over from the sugar high at Halloween, Josh, Bret, Sean and Rob talk about trick or treating, candy preferences, razor blades in candy, the parent tax, and the supremacy of black licorice.

In this laugh-filled episode of Treeforts & Mixtapes, we rewind to the jobs that shaped us.

The crew shares wild first-job tales, explores the value of tough work in building character, and debates whether today's teens are missing out by skipping the grind. Expect some laughs and a few deeper reflections on why those scrappy early gigs still matter. Tune in for nostalgia, wisdom, and a dash of chaos. Hit play and relive those "first paycheck" feelings.

Welcome back to Treeforts & Mixtapes. In Episode #35 we've joined by Seany-G and it's all about good vibes. We kick things off with talk of an ugly football game, dive deep into why the Kansas City Chiefs have two states repping their team, and even tackle the big question: is college really worth it? You’ll hear everything from NFL fan debates to why some recent grads struggle in the job market, with a lot of laughs (and some life advice) along the way. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s get into it.

In Episode #34 of Treeforts & Mixtapes, we're joined once again by our good friend Colt as we dive into a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the good ol' days when things didn’t cost an arm and a leg! We chat about how going to amusement parks like Disney, catching a game, or rocking out at a concert was way more accessible back in the '80s and '90s compared to today’s sky-high prices. From tickets to food, drinks, and merch, we break down what’s changed and debate which aspects of the past need to make a serious comeback. Tune in and see if you agree!

Join us for Episode #33 of Treeforts & Mixtapes, where we're hanging out with friends of the show, Seany-G and Colt! We dive into the iconic GI Joe messages we all remember from the end of each episode. The PSAs, "Now you know, and knowing is half the battle." Some were hilariously over-the-top, while others delivered messages that still resonate today. We reminisce about these unforgettable moments, laughing at the ridiculousness but also wondering if it's time to bring some of those lessons back. Tune in and take a trip down memory lane with us!

In this episode of Treeforts and Mixtapes we're joined by friend of the show "Seany G" (Sean Galloway), and dive deep into everything from the madness of NCAA football to the questionable stuff in our food, and how social media’s creeping into our kids' lives.
