The Penultimate Podcast! Mike and Tim discuss Tim's last blog entry, "Wings and Beer for the Win," where Tim reflects on the entire project. One more to go, guys.

Mike and Tim talk about THE origin of Tim's love of baseball...his Grandfather. Tim's cousin Brian jumps in to talk a bit about him as well.

In this episode, Mike and Tim discuss Mike's memories of the Chicago Cubs winning the world series and how Mike and his mother bonded over her becoming more and more of a Cubs fan.

Well, it's been a few weeks. Some life things happened. We explain it all and get started on Act 3 of our story with shared memory of the greatest lead off at-bat in Cubs history. Enjoy, and get ready for us to bring this whole story to a close.

Tim and Mike finish Act 2 of their story with a conversation detailing Mike's experiences with a girl that wasn't the one and how Tim and Hilty were there to help him get past it.

Tim and Mike discuss an important event in Mike's life. How it played out and how it leads to the next episode.

Tim and Mike talk about their adventurous hike out to the open mic stage and then Mike digs pretty deep and opens up about his history of struggling with confidence. It turns out that Larsen's classroom helped young Mike Whildin turn a corner.

Larsen and Whildin invite Ken Dentino, a long-time colleague with Larsen, and Phil Peterson, along-time friend with Whildin who is ALSO a former student of Larsen's. They break down the very highs and lows of being a teacher for over 20 years in the same high school.

Whildin brings guest and fellow stand up comedian Matt Drufke on to discuss Whildin's history with the stand up scene and so many great insights into what the stand up comedy community is like before and after the curtain goes down. We also get a reflection from Whildin on how he is the man he is today as a result of all of that time around all of those comics. Enjoy. This one's a gem.
