The Tavern in Question

Welcome back to the bar where the boys are talking about the future and how we get there. Do you struggle with goal setting? Do you spend more time focused on the destination instead of the journey? We do too. Come join us at the bar and chat with us!

The boys sit down for an evening of drinking and discussing the vast array of things they usually do... and they talk about food. Americans are seemingly larger and consuming more types of foods that may not be good for them...why? Is it just cuz it's cheap? Are we lazy? Do we have a problem with portion control? Well, yes and no to all. Join us and give us your thoughts and insights. Cheers!

Josh and I are talking about Indiana Jones and what is, hopefully, the final page in the story of the adventurous archaeologist. Come grab a drink and listen to the boys spout their normal non-sense. Cheers!

On this special episode, the boys are joined by the lovely Berber, Josh's better half, and we are talking about what we do in the dark... like collecting Pokemon cards or listening to Doja Cat. Regardless, we have a ball sharing little tidbits about our private lives, and we hope you enjoy it too! Cheers!

We are reaching into the vault this week to bring you a show we recorded and then...kinda forgot about. Ha! So with that, on this EP of the Tavern, the boys sit down and reminisce about the iconic characters and personalities we lost in the year 2022. Our reflections are very silly and we tangent often, but we still salute those and appreciate the gifts were given by these incredible folks! Cheers.

Well I saw that going differently in my mind... but that is what usually happens when the boys sit down with no plan and just let the conversation go where it will.

Trigger Warning: We talk about guns, violence, cops. If these things bother you, come back next week.

This was a blast. Enjoy!

On this EP the boys are back and talking about the blossoming of springtime. What does that mean to us physically and mentally? Lets talk about it!

On todays EP the boys sit down and discuss the ins and outs of AI. From developing art to taking over the world, there are many applications that AI can and is being utilized for today. I am not a fan of it, Josh seems cool, but what about you? Where do you fall on the AI discussion? Come listen and let us know. Cheers friends.

The boys are fired up tonight and it is getting weird! We sit down to discuss all things bar life but end up on the conversation about covers... from music to movies. Other folks playing and acting other folk's stuff... how you fee about it? We will tell you all about our feelings, as always, and would love to hear yours! Come grab a stool and lets get it!

The boys sit down tonight to finally have the discussion they have been waiting for... a chat about a hockey show that had its origins in a small town of 5000 Canadiens called "Letterkenny". Come join us as we talk about the cast, stories, and romance in a phenomenal series. Cheers.

With Ian away for the week Josh took full advantage of his absence and called in fellow Star Wars NERD Chance from Strive Seek Find Podcast to dive into the dark and wicked weird world of Star Wars lore and conspiracy. Big shout out to Chance for stepping in to cover Ian this week! Enjoy Friends!

The boys are at it again and are taking a page from our friend over at "Chuck and Ruff" as they sit down at the bar and review a movie! But this isnt your average movie. Art-lover Josh brought an incredible film to the table and it really is one of a kind. Come join us as we discuss, sip, and "philosophize" about art, the movie, and other major life events. Cheers.

On this EP the boys are hopping back behind the mics and firing up the twitch machine to bring you some Tavern shenanigans! Come listen as we discuss the news, a giant baloon, a giant weiner statue, some booze, and the aquisition of a beloved TV series by a Network run by a Mouse... Cheers! 

On this EP the boys are joined by by Chuck from Chuck and Ruff go to the movies as we talk about all things MCU. From Howard the Duck in 1986 to the Multiverse of Madness we talk about the evolution from stand alone dark movies to the insanity of the Avengers that we have today. Come join us!!

Have you ever imagined what it feels like to get shat out of the back of an airplane doing 115 MPH? Yea, most don't. But for the crazy few volunteers in the US Army, this is a regular thing. Today the boys sit down and talk about the history and shenanigans of the Airborne and Ian, a former paratrooper himself, shares the silly and scary behind it all. Enjoy! 

Here. We. Go! It is time for another season with the McGlynn Boys at the Tavern. This season promises to only mildly disappoint the masses and our Mother as we tackle some hard hitting topics, grill intriguing guests, and drink all the wonderful things. Come joins us for what Lewis Black would call "An aventure in hyperspace". 

As the kids head back to school the parents celebrate! But is that ok? Lets talk about it! 

Cheers!

So would it even be a TIQ episode if Ian wasn't uploading and publishing things super late? Nope! 

On this EP of TIQ we recap the year that was and are joined by some of our favorite folks! Summer from Stressed Depressed and Anxious joins us at the Newsdesk for some silly headlines. Chance from Strive Seek Find belly's up to the bar and sips on some great whiskey with us as we talk talk shop, and finally Heath from E14 Podcast comes by to talk about the challenges that the last year have brought to him and Ian as they transition out of the service and try to run podcasts...

Back on March 13th Josh and Ian sat down on the 2-year anniversary of "2 Weeks to slow the spread" and talk about all things covid as we sip on some E.H. Taylor. So much of our world has changed... This recording was done on a Tuesday and somehow got lost in all the things we had going on. Well, we have located it and now get to grace your earholes with all the nonsense we enjoyed on that evening in March. Come join us as we go through it all. Cheers.

Hold on to your butts my friends this is gonna be a fun one! So Ian was super late getting to the mic so Josh reached out to some of our guest hosts and just as Ian FINALLY got his ass on... Leesa, Chance, and Josh had the party going! THIS IS AMAZING! Also if this is what happens when I show up late, I may make it habit. Zero editing on this one... you all are getting it live as it happened. Enjoy! 

On this episode, the boys are joined by our favorite cross-wielding local neighborhood baby, Summer, from the Stressed Depressed, and Anxious Podcast. The three of them sit down to talk all things, literally, and to chat about the Depp v. Herd Trial and all its shenanigans. Come listen and enjoy. 

TW: We discuss domestic violence, listen at your own discretion

The boys are freelancing tonight as their show prep went the way of the Dodo... "There goes the last female"(Dodo #1 - Ice Age) So the fellas are going to talk some philosophy which ends up being more aliens and religion than anything but those are fun to talk about too! Enjoy!

The boys settle into the bar tonight and talk about a little beer and some taxes. That's right, the thing that started the nation's road to independence and the thing each and every one of us hates today. Oh, how the turntables have tabled... or something. Come having out and listen to another boozy shenanigan with Josh and Ian! 

Grab a stool and sit down with the boys as they chat with Dena Schools from the "So this is Me Trying" Podcast and talk about all things pop culture. From our favorite pop music to our guilty reality tv pleasures. This was a blast! Enjoy!

In this episode, we are joined by our resident fact-checker and long-time friend Joe. You see him weekly in our Twitch chat as "whoaisjoe" but who is the man behind the handle? Come join the boys as we talk all things silly and ridiculous with our partner and friend. Cheers. 

On this episode of the Tavern Josh and Ian are drinking Texas Whiskey and talking why the state... and the country... tend to be a little extra at times. We love our country but there are some things that bother us about it and we want to share that with you! Come listen! Cheers.

The boys are back and dressed to the nines!! Well kinda... It's St Paddy's Day and we are dressed in green, drinking Irish Whiskey, Green Beer, and Josh is wearing something ridiculous... ironically not a shirt from baby gap this week. The movie The Boondock Saints is a wonderful cult classic that makes you laugh, cry, and feel "wicked smaht" in all things Irish. Come join us for shenanigans and a movie review. Cheers!

Trigger Warning... I fucking hate valentines day! Ah well, it keeps on coming whether we want it or not. Josh and I talk about this holiday and all the BS that comes with it! Enjoy and listen to us wherever you can find your favorite podcasts. Cheers. 

"Here goes nothing" said in our best Han Solo voice... Ladies and Gentlemen, this week's episode is full of mind-bending conversation and life-altering revelations. Don't sleep on this one! The boys have brought in movie expert Jeff "Chuck" Norris from the Chuck and Ruff Go to the Movies Podcast to dive into the depths of the Star Wars Saga. Josh is getting his shot at redemption after falling victim to Rum the last time we talked movies with Chuck. We are drinking Angels Envy Finished Rye and engaging in much shenanigans. Come join us for some nerd out sessions and lively debate on why The Last Jedi is the worst episode and why Chuck and Josh are wrong about it. Cheers. 

*Note... this is another ep of zero edits. The raw form was too good! Listen carefully. 

On this EP the boys sit down with Mike from One Mic: Black History to talk history and celebrate the things that have made this nation awful and awesome. Cheers!

Sweet Jesus what a trainwreck! This is not your typical episode from the boys. As we sat down this week, Josh and I made a decision to go against our norm and record even though we were both in a place that was not good for either of us. I debated on not posting this recording and sending it to the "for some other time" folder but we decided that this type of thing, the raw trainwreck it was, is something we wanted to share. Be advised there is zero editing in the episode. You are getting the whole thing, intact, as it happened. Listen as you will. Cheers. 

Grab your stool and buckle in friends because this week the boys are joined by the one and only Leesa Charlotte. This energetic and well spoken Aussie is the co-host for the Cult America and Sweetbitter podacsts and has some great stories to share after spending a ton of time in the hospitality industry and behind the bar. So come and join these three goobers to talk about bar culture, how it has changed and how we like or don't like it! Cheers.

This one is a bruiser baby! The boys are back at it with some news and some really great booze tonight before they dive into the subject of marriage. Disclaimer: First, the things we discuss are things we have experienced and have worked, or not worked for us with a combined 37 years of marriage between us. Second, I(Ian) did not want to do this show. I did not feel safe talking about something so private and valuable to me but Josh was the man and kept me in a good space. You can hear my hesitation and there are a lot of pauses and dead air in this one... sorry about that friends. Come join us for a more serious chat about some real shit, you will be glad you did. Cheers.

Tonight the boys are at the bar talking about resolutions, the anniversary of January 6th, drinking Aviation Gin, and having a great time. These show notes seem silly and I don't believe you all even bother to read all the wonderful things I write in here. I literally paint works of art with my words and none of you ever notice. Sweet Jesus, I am so underappreciated... HAHAHA! Cheers goobers!

It is TTTIIMMMEEEE for the start of another season at the Tavern and Josh and Ian are primed and ready to get back behind the bar and solve all the world's problems. Or at least talk some shit about them. Today the boys are joined by Summer from the Stressed Depressed and Anxious Podcast. The topic is the holiday, the conversation goes a little bit everywhere! Come join us for some lively conversations and fun banter at the bar. Cheers!

Josh and I are back in the studio together and it's time for more in-person shenanigans! On this EP the boys are drinking yet another celebrity whiskey and talking about Veterans Day and the joys and cringes the day brings with it. This is the last episode of season one and we will be back in January with more adventures, drinks, guests, and general mayhem. Stay tuned! Cheers.

The boys are talking spooky season as we are drinking Irish Coffee! Everything from ghosts to trick or treating we cover it all. Come listen and enjoy!

My friends...you need to buckle in for this one! This EP has us joined by our friend Hermes and it was an adventure like none other. We talk booze, news, E.T., and horror films just start. This was a blast and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Cheers.
