It's Nautical Week here on Catchupcast! Join us as we discuss the ocean-centric books we've been reading (In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex & The Devil and the Dark Water), the horrors of being stranded at sea, and Assassins Creed: Adventures in Whaling! We celebrate the arrival of spring, play a lightning round of Meme Review, and confront a bird. Plus, Isaac finally visits a children's museum, we learn some Frank Lloyd Wright facts, and we consider the logistics of chaperoning a middle school dance. Finally, listen as we get increasingly angry with each other while attempting to define wheels and doors!

In Part Two of our Sixtieth Episode Spectacular, Ethan and Isaac reminisce about growing up and finish up their virtual tour of their hometown! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade is a despicable attack on reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy.

You guys like sports, right? Get ready for some VERY dated sports talk as Isaac and Ethan chat about the Winter Olympics! This episode of Catchupcast has it all! Speedy audio! Bean oil! Obtaining ducks! Meme research! We debate sword-wielding orangutans and the chicken waiting in your car, as well as haircut preferences. We ponder Zuck's Future, structuring our lives, the beauty of Lego games, and a mind-blowing bus movie. Oh, and Ethan gets very, very angry about The Book of Boba Fett (or is it Boomer Fett?). The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade is a despicable attack on reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy.

Hello there! It has been far too long since we last released an episode, but hopefully our editor has finally gotten their act together and is gonna start pumping episodes out (No promises though)! This episode of Catchupcast sees Ethan and Isaac getting relaxed and discussing The Mandalorian, just in time for Star Wars’s latest foray into live-action television: Obi-Wan Kenobi! Full spoilers ahead, be warned. In fact, it's a pretty deep dive into the Star Wars universe in general! Plus, we talk about Second Monday, the Sticky Monster, icy treks, Broomball, and the relatability of stories. May the Force Be With You!

In this timely installment of Catchupcast, Ethan and Isaac lament living in the dark alternate Back to the Future Part II timeline before discussing sleeping surfaces, going home, and funny kids. They do some small talk role-play, fall into a catharsis hole, evaluate the genuineness of podcasts, try to find an untraceable form of communication, compare vaccine reactions, and take a cold shower!

Wow, we haven't published an episode since last year! Sorry for the delay, life has been CRAZY! Hopefully you'll forgive us!

We recorded this episode early in November, and then, between life and the holidays, didn't have time to edit/release it until now. Sorry about that!  In this episode (which is a milestone for us), we talk about libraries, dangerous tea, an arbitrary and difficult canoe trip, an impromptu adventure in closure, the One Pot Life, defining a classic, disturbing the Geese Peace, one final bike ride, when Christmas comes too early, cut Catchupcast content, a real-life Hunger Games, and, finally, NaNoWriMo and the struggle to write.

In the latest episode of Catchupcast, Isaac encounters a forest set ablaze and Ethan finds himself in smokey peril, which makes this, statistically, our most lit episode to date! Also, we ponder inspirational garbage, the many cults of Western New York, the infinity of human literature, a tear-inducing surprise on Ethan's birthday, lying about crying, an odd dealbreaker, author signatures, writing a sequel, and reflect a bit on the podcast. Plus much more!

Welcome to episode 52 of Catchupcast! If we were releasing weekly, this would mark a year since we started the show! But, since podcasting is hard and we are busy, it's actually been three and a half years! Whoops! In this episode, Isaac and Ethan talk about a pizza hybrid, Isaac's adventure race, Ethan's peanut butter naïvete, riding bicycles, grad school, running with Elton John, their fear of wasting their time, and watching new generations grow up. Also, we revisit Beau Miles with a discussion on his film "Junk Films", which leads us to ponder artistic transformation and filmmaking styles. Finally, Ethan puts on his director hat (which has an ear of corn on it, as it happens) and gives some notes on sword fights. “Junk Films” by Beau Miles: https://youtu.be/xmj0sK0dCWU Buy Ethan’s book! https://amzn.to/2SSSCf2 Check out our Twitter account (@KetchupCast) or send us an email at nocondiments@gmail.com! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/support

After our big 50th anniversary episode, we're feeling kinda sleepy, so prepare yourselves for some weird energy this episode! In this installment of Catchupcast, Ethan and Isaac discuss their former classmate, Lil Jeff; attachment styles, silence, alcohol, accent stories, vaccines, and immigrating to New Zealand. Light up that Hollywood sign, because there's a lot of movie talk this week: we ponder box office numbers, movies that couldn't be made today, and give a detailed description of Mission: Impossible II's best moments! Finally, Isaac debuts a new bit and Ethan becomes a ticking coffee time bomb!  Additional Music This Week: Tension - SergePavkinMusic Music Link: https://youtu.be/ssSwQ_GP50k  Buy Ethan’s book! https://amzn.to/2SSSCf2  Check out our Twitter account (@KetchupCast) or send us an email at nocondiments@gmail.com! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ethan-mcatee/support

It's our Fiftieth Anniversary celebration!! After all these years, we are so so proud to bring you this special episode, featuring our THIRD-EVER GUEST, our old friend Keenan! After first revisiting some questions from a very long time ago, we hear all about Keenan's script doctoring business and his dog, Echo! We remember sloppy reenactments and long-gone restaurants, and reminisce about Scouting shenanigans and our teenage years filled with filmmaking! We discuss Wisconsin living, an uncomfortably nosy party dude, the perfect charcuterie condiment, complicated gear, obnoxious people in our fields, our green thumbs (or lack thereof), burial traditions on Arrakis, play a round of Meme Review Review, and, perhaps most importantly, talk about Batman. Mostly, we just really enjoy being three very old friends catching up for the first time in a very long time. Thank you, listeners, for sticking with us for all these years! We really love making this show, and it's such a joy to finally reach this milestone! Sorry for the long hiatus between this and Episode 49, though, things were a bit hectic in making this episode happen. To make up for that, Episode 51 will go up one week from today!

Ethan and Isaac dig even deeper into the nostalgia well in this latest episode of Catchupcast, this time remembering musicals, attempts at wooing, prom, stolen ray guns, and a double date with a math teacher. And if that wasn't enough, they also find time to talk about the sameness of adult life, escaping the familiar, a violent baptism, first date tips, laundromat brochures, the Tokyo 2020(+1) Olympics, and YouTuber Beau Miles. We reveal whether we're dog or cat people, Ethan has a suspiciously good day, and Isaac gets in over his head on an adventure!

Happy August! Summer sure has gone quickly, hasn't it? Or maybe it hasn't and time is just losing all meaning. Anyway! Isaac and Ethan start this episode off with a pop tart metaphor, then launch into all kinds of tangents! Like hot water woes and letting the bedbugs bite! And adventure milestones and boats on the Erie Canal! Or, if that's too exciting, dive into some nostalgia as we share some memories from high school of teacher rivalries and history class shenanigans! We discuss the scary prospect of doing things again and the difficulties of dating as adults! We find a sense of place, ponder our futures, and Isaac sets a secret plan in motion....

It's too damn hot! To beat the heat, Ethan and Isaac spend this episode discussing hanging out in person, Mario Kart disagreements, introspection, the Airport Realm, riding the rails, a hypothetical Snowpiercer (spoilers ahead), beach days, pizza zones, delivery robots with surprising features, cop-yright law, and Isaac updates us on his canoe!

Welcome to the latest installment of Hatcast, where we examine the many marvelous hats of Isaac and Ethan! Once they're done donning their chapeaus, they'll engage in some tea talk before launching into discussions on paddling, mad eyeball science, pirate lore, fast food guilt, meal indecision, billionaires in space, the most American of vaccine incentives, helpful computer features, movie delays and aspect ratios, and the continued practice of masking up!

We always start out with lists of discussion topics, but oh so often we find ourselves going down tangents and rabbit holes and ending up somewhere completely different than we thought we would, which is how we spend a good chunk of this episode critiquing the naming methods of a certain pizza chain. Also, we discuss coffee temperature, the proper amount of data, breakfast hacks, naming camping gear, transportation troubles, UV protections, art class, the Three Little Pigs, art ownership and interpretation, and Isaac's newest floating purchase. Oh, and we just kind of talk about our hairstyles for a while, too.

Sorry for the hiatus! It was not intentional, but unfortunately the person who edits our podcast is super lazy. Luckily, we're finally back with a brand-new episode featuring all your favorite things about the show! Headphone life cycles, the art of unlocking cell phones, listing the names of lakes! We reveal our favorite types of bodies of water and talk about a darn campout! The Goose Union! Ghostly exploration and the truth about haunting! The Tokyo Olympics' newest competitors!
