What does getting in shape actually look like when you stop chasing quick wins?

In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we’re joined by personal trainer Andre Orlando to break down what real, lasting fitness looks like over ten years. We talk about consistency over intensity, how to get back on track after falling off, why small workouts matter more than perfect plans, and how strength training pays dividends later in life.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just an honest look at what works — and why it lasts.

Two very different movies. Two very different nights. And somehow, the perfect way to kick off a new year.

Jason starts with a New Year’s Eve review of Avatar: Fire and Ash — a three-hour, seventeen-minute marathon that became less about the plot and more about surviving until midnight. VIP seats, 3D glasses, popcorn dehydration, and a surprisingly solid four-star verdict.

Barry follows with Stephen King’s The Long Walk, starring Mark Hamill and Cooper Hoffman. It’s dark, relentless, and closer to a psychological endurance test than a traditional adaptation. Well acted, bleak, and memorable for all kinds of reasons.

Along the way, we talk about movie runtimes, recap culture, the rise of “time-filler films,” and why some stories stay fun while others stick with you for days. There’s also tea, Bushmills 12, motivational lamps, and a teaser for the return of chicken roulette.

Grab a drink and settle in — this one covers a lot of cinematic ground.

This week we’re joined by The Movie Guy for a breakdown of PRIMATE, a Cujo-style horror flick about a rabid chimp, a cliffside mansion, and one very bad night. We get into the creature effects, the surprisingly intense gore, the oddly used deaf-dad subplot, and why a 90-minute runtime was probably the smartest thing about the film.

Along the way, we debate pool-based survival strategies, the logic of rabies rules, and which parts of the movie unintentionally made us laugh. And in true Two Shot Tuesday fashion, the episode somehow pivots to ketchup, mustard, and one of the strangest domestic coincidences Jason has ever experienced.

It’s chaotic, funny, and very us — enjoy the ride.

It starts with a Rip From the Headlines that grabs our attention — “Mercury, the planet that shouldn’t exist” — and sends us down an unexpected space rabbit hole.

In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we talk about why Mercury raises real questions, how little we understand about our own solar system, and why scale and time in space completely break human intuition. The conversation drifts into asteroid belts, ringed worlds, space tourism, and whether space exploration is about spectacle or something much bigger.

We wrap by looking ahead to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and why space stories — real or fictional — keep pulling us back in.

Pour something and come along for the ride.

It’s our first episode of 2026, and we don’t ease into the year.

We kick things off the only way we know how: with whiskey, physical media, and a conversation that goes exactly where it wants to go. From reflecting on what we’re carrying forward from 2025 to getting unexpectedly deep into comics, beach culture, confidence, and the future of weight-loss science, this one sets the tone for the year ahead.

Along the way, Jason breaks down his very specific theory on how whiskey can leap over the tongue without touching the taste buds, we revisit why physical media still matters, and we wander into a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about pills, access, and what “progress” might actually look like.

It’s funny, a little chaotic, occasionally reflective, and exactly how we wanted to start the year.

🎧 Welcome to 2026. Pour something and come along for the ride.

This is our final Two Shot Tuesday episode of the year, recorded early, fueled by coffee, Bailey’s, and Jameson, and filled with reflection.

In this end-of-year conversation, we look back on the moments that quietly reshaped 2025 for us, on the podcast and off. From moving the show to video, to lessons in consistency, fitness, discipline, and embracing things we didn’t expect to care as much about as we do now.

We talk about:

• Why consistency beats motivation every time

• The habits that stuck, and the ones that didn’t

• How 2025 set the tone for how we’re heading into 2026

It’s honest, relaxed, and exactly the kind of conversation that fits the final days of the year.

Thanks for listening, thanks for sticking with us, and we’ll see you in 2026.

🎧 Pour something, press play, and ring out the year with us.

It’s a full-on 4K Christmas extravaganza.

In this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we break down the 4K discs worth owning this holiday season, the blind buys that paid off, and the upgrades that didn’t quite live up to the nostalgia.

We cover:

• A blind-buy 4K of Sinners and why it works as smart holiday horror

• The Back to the Future 40th Anniversary 4K and why this is the version to own

• The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4K trilogy — does the transfer actually stack up?

Add in a couple of holiday pours and some honest takes, and you’ve got the perfect listen while building your 4K Christmas watchlist.

🎄 Pour something festive and press play.

It’s our annual Spotify Wrapped episode — the one where we pour a couple shots, open the app, and immediately question every life choice that led to these results.

This year? Wrapped went off the rails in the best possible way.

We dig into shocking Top Artists, unexpected genres, and a few curveballs that had both of us staring at our phones wondering, “Is this really us?” Spoiler: apparently yes. We also compare listening habits, celebrate some true gems, debate a couple of guilty pleasures, and try to figure out how the algorithm thinks our year went.

It’s all the fun, surprises, and light roasting you’d expect from a Wrapped breakdown, plus a few Two Shot twists you won’t see coming.

Join us as we close out the year the only way we know how: laughing at ourselves, shouting out the artists who soundtracked our lives, and raising a glass to every listener who helped make this our biggest year yet.

Thanks for being part of the ride. And we're not even close to being done yet.
