We're drier than a well in Arizona in the middle of August. Welcome back anyway! This episode is kinda everywhere and starts with us rehashing jokes we've already done. We're hacks and we're devoid of any sort of comedic integrity. Nick tells us about his lovely weekend and how he caught up with a friend who he hadn't seen in a long time. Turns out people change and friendships are weird. Erick Tells us about his dark and sordid childhood past with the encounters he had with his nemesis. They fought, they struggled, it ended up with their siblings dating. Who woulda thunk? Follow Lassie, get yer bucket, and try to draw water from this empty well.

Would you eat me? I'd eat me. Welcome back! In this episode of Out of Focus, Nick and Erick talk about cannibalizing kids and discuss strategies on how to pick the best and most tasty ones. You wanna choose a husky sports kid that gets made fun of by their friends. Their flesh is a nice combination of lean meat with solid marbling. Their tears will act as a delicious brine. Nick and Erick then talk about teaching teenagers and how hard it is, how kids who live in hospitals get the short end of the stick, and how cinnamon toast is white trash. They then go down a sugary cereal-y memory lane and revisit those cereals only #ninetieskids could love. Get your color-changing spoon, break out the big bowl, and pour yourself a tasty bowl of sugar-frosted OOFs.

15 things about Nick and Erick that'll make you go HUH? Did you click? Did you give us traffic? Awesome. Welcome back to another episode of Out of Focus! Today we examine clickbait culture and how it's always been around. Buzzfeed reigns supreme and the only way to get views on Youtube is over-the-top clickbait titles and thumbnails. Something about tragedy of the commons or something. Eventually we move on and get Nick to take a Buzzfeed quiz. He gets to learn what kind of relationship he deserves. Erick and Nick both find out that they weren't privy to early-to-mid 90's black sitcoms. They both missed out on some culture. Gape at salacious headlines, discover the 7 things about milk that'll make you smile, and give your monkey-brain the dopamine hit it so desires.

Know what goes really well together like Doritos and a long night of drinkin'? Erick and Nick shooting the shit over the airwaves. Welcome back to another episode of Out of Focus. Today Erick enlightens us to a genre of books he wasn't aware of. It's not self-help (although he needs those) and it's not fantasy (Wheel of Time re-read anyone?); it's food-based murder-mystery novels. Books. Filled with murder, mystery, intrigue, and recipes for delicious pastries. What more could a bored middle-aged housewife teleported from the 50's want really? Nick being the more learned of the two gives us insights into a weird thing he saw on the subway as well as how getting a Master's in Music Therapy goes. Neither sound easy and/or pleasant. Honestly, who puts their pants on inside out and buttons them the normal way? Baffling. Knead and pound your dough, flip on your favorite stand mixer, and be sure to peek over your shoulder for thieves and murderers. Check it out, subscribe to our nonsense…

Privyet! Welcome back folks. We start this episode off by talking about the the scariest Eastern European monster; Baba Yaga in the form of a man. That's right, Keanu Reeves is back in theaters once again reprising his role as an angry dog-loving assassin in John Wick 3. We spoil one of the first brutal and creative kills. Spoiler alert: it involves a book. And it's pretty gruesome. The movie is definitely worth a watch if you're into all things action, dogs, and Keanu Reeves. We then segue over to usual topics. Dragon Ball Z is touched upon yet again. Nick is back in the hole binging League of Legends in a happy go lucky sort of way. He has embraced death and doesn't put up with anyone's nonsense. He's also reached a thousand(!!) words for his Spanish vocabulary. He'll be as good as a native speaker any day now. Erick's been embracing that Russian aesthetic and playing through the Metro games enjoying his time killing mutants and getting spooked. Brush up on your Russian, be kind to…

Hey again and welcome back salad tossers! Turns out that Nick can do a pretty mean Trump and Obama impression. We start things off in an interesting way by playing a game. Erick quizzes Nick on whether or not a certain subreddit exists. Nick does a pretty damn good job and would probably get an A if this was school. Nick derails the quiz at one point though and essentially plays a mental Rorschach with Erick. Please, tell us (in detail) about what Nick's mental Rorschach makes you think of. We're all about learning here. Some things we learned this time around: Ranch turns black after 20 years Nick has definitely-probably-maybe posted on r/gonewild Gene Wilder is sexier than most redditors Mold can happen anywhere at any time for any reason Erick spends too much time on the internet and is desensitized Nick is wholesome. Listen to his r/hydrohomies example Gently chop up your lettuce, firmly grasp your pepper grinder, and prepare to just drip dressing all over your salad. Check it out…

Welcome back! We know the question that has been burning in the hearts of our various and sundry listeners; who in OOF is more like Jim Jones, and who is more like Charles Manson? Erick and Nick discuss. Erick also tells us about his weekend at the petting zoo (and somehow we don't touch on Tudder once). Nick tells us about his victories - He got a new processor and his computer is sexy fast to the point where Nick is a liberted man - and his failures - hangovers, car troubles, and $90 lyft rides. Near the end of the podcast we start talking about one of our favorite youtubers (PayMoneyWubby) and his recent and intense 36 minute video. That takes us down the weird and perilous roads of spooky/weird videos. Adult Swim infomercials, Salad Fingers, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, and others are touched upon. Erick is a big fan of anything that is spooky strange; video games, videos, books, don't matter - lay it on him. Nick is less of a fan of spooks. Make sure you send him all the spooky…

Hmm? Oh hey. Didn't see you there. Wha-? It's Wednesday? SHIIIIIIII- Welcome to the episode we put off because why do today that which you can do tomorrow? Today's problems are for tomorrow's me! This episode is brought to you by procrastination. Nick and Erick discuss the finer points of procrastination and when it's cost them big. Nick had to sit at a computer and mumble to himself. Erick almost got kick out of school. The moral here is maybe don't procrastinate. We also talk about teenage petty crime and sneaking out . Nick was a bad boy rebel growing up and would sneak out all the time as a kid. To do kid stuff? Erick didn't have any friends so he didn't sneak out and cried himsef to sleep most nights. He would later sneak into places as an adolescent but, as it turns out, he's also bad at that. Do your homework (now), put on your night time camo, and don't let dad hear you slip back in.

Hey and welcome back! Happy post Mother's Day. Today we're celebrating the mothers in our lives by disappointing them and continuing this podcast. We talk about hoppin' back into working out (queue full Rocky montage). Erick's pretty sore from being stubborn and not easing into his old workout routine. Nick tells us how about how he almost died at a gym, hubris be damned. Sore muscles naturally segues to getting those muscles rubbed. Nick gets a massage and gets introduced to pains he didn't even knew he had. Erick got a massage, got man-handled, and got put through the wringer thanks to Olga/Helga/Brena. We also start talkin' weird sleep things. Limbs falling asleep, sleep paralysis, and getting eaten by rats. Stretch out those muscles, agree on safe word with your masseuse, and let us be your sensory deprivation tank soundtrack.

Give a big OOF welcome to Erick's sister Nana! Yes, this week we have Nana on to talk about herself, what she does, and what she is about. We talk travel stories and Nana let's us know how she was almost in a Taken spin-off movie. Don't get into cars with strangers kids. We give an update on our DBZ Japanese vs. English voice actors twitter poll and outta nowhere get a wild card: the Latin American DBZ voice actors. Enthusiasm isn't their strong suit. Some highlights: Nick isn't allergic to brandy (hooray!) Scams, scams, and more scams (Don't trust monks) Underage Rum + Cokes "Beer or wine at night keeps the doctor away, right?" The French don't wanna speak french to you Bands we passed on initially Go to France, get kidnapped, and call Liam Neeson to kick ass and take names.

Do you like coconuts? Whether you do or don't, you probably won't after this episode. We start with a gross coming-of-age story involving coconuts, humidity, and teenage ingenuity. It takes about the first ten minutes. Please, broaden your horizons and listen to it completely. We go back and forth a bit about our weekends. Erick got to enjoy a balmy and beautiful weekend with his wife in southern Utah where they lazed the day away and played in a lake. Nick got to drop some cash on some bomb Argentinian asado. They both had good weekends. Envy them. We then get a little heart felt talking about our experiences growing up with our respective cultural lenses. It's a good talk. Grab your favorite fruit, make sure mom isn't home, and reminisce on your youth. Check it out, subscribe to our nonsense, and hit us up on Twitter , Instagram ( @ outoffocusshow) and Patreon .

If R. Kelly can't read, is he still a pedo? Yes. The answer is yes. Welcome back to Out of Focus where we start talking about R. Kelly and O.J for some reason. We quickly shift gears and realize with dread that our 10 year high school reunions would be happening soon. We're old now. This of course changes our focus to more old people topics like five year plans, hopes, dreams, and all the things we wanna accomplish. We're cast adrift in a sea of scary opportunity. Witness our uncertainty, our instability, and the overwhelmingly crushing weight of debt. Lucky for us we're able to look back on our childhoods with a topic switch to ice cream trucks. Everybody out there, even though you're probably an adult now, go practice some self-care and buy ice cream from an ice cream truck. Empower your childhood self. Also driving an ice cream truck is somebody's job. How weird is that? This episode's next to ignition The ice cream's hot and fresh out the kitchen R. Kelly excusin' his actions Got…

What a weekend. Two titanic media properties cranking out some end of life content. All the emotions. All the visual and story tastiness. None of the spoilers. Unfortunately you get to listen to us and not watch Endgame of Thrones. Welcome to a post Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame weekend. Listen to Erick as he is visceral, raw, and emotionally exhausted after having watched Endgame. Be a fly on the wall while we air our dirty laundry in a production meeting. We talk shop and introduce our Patreon . Feel free to toss disgusting amounts of money our way, and we'll squander it to swim in our Scrooge McDuck-ian vault. Also Nick asks the age old question: would you eat a subway churro? Pop your popcorn, grab your fried food and tissues, and prepare to cry.

Another episode recorded on Easter folks. We come in screeching hot with an impromptu slash fiction and very, very quickly blast away to another topic leaving that smouldering crater of an intro. We pivot to talkin' barcades, retro games, and how fun those old beat-em-ups were. Also enjoy the mutual gushing over the Time Crisis series; best arcade shooter of our time! We're all over the place (which is par for the course). We touch on Wuxia theater and some of our favorite chinese martial arts movies, Dragonball gushing, and some VR gamez talk. There are some technical difficulties at the end so you also get to enjoy the soothing sounds of Erick monologuing. Put in some quarters, crank out that Konami code, and beat the kill screen.

Wow. So uh, helium intro this time around? Welcome back to what is apparently now wacky Wednesday here at Out of Focus. Nick gives us a bit of a career update where he shows us how big his heart is by volunteering to work with kids. Also it turns out that you gotta be on your T. Swift A-game if you wanna impress the cool kids. They will put you on the spot and they will shut you down if you aren't hip with it. Pivoting off of kids, Nick tells us his community is where the undead outbreak is bound to happen with the ongoing measles epidemic (vaccinate your kids people). Also did you know Nick swallows? Like really loudly? We explore a little bit of Nick's body oddity where he is physically incapable of swallowing quietly. If you have any tips for him, hit us up. We're always down to see Nick be weird. Swallowing naturally leads to breathing. We talk about how to breathe properly. Everybody reading this right now, take a nice, deep, relaxing breath and let it out good and slow. Now think…

Do you enjoy bread and failure first thing on Monday mornings? Do you like globalism and cultural invasions? Does Star Wars just kinda do it for you? Well then welcome to this yeast-y space nerd episode of Out of Focus. We do our best to deflect criticism by addressing concerns about our lack of knowledge of pao de quijo (and cultures in general). Listen to us gush over our boi Gus Johnson as he reaches a million subs, lend us your ear as we spoil (early) Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and other beloved franchises, and harken to us as Nick lays down the law in regards to how he goes about watching movies. It's a lot of work. Also you'll be witnessing a murder this time around; Nick and Erick compare Memrise scores and here's another spoiler: things don't look too hot for Erick. This leads into Nick revealing his true intentions behind language learning. Turn off your targeting computer, relish in your nostalgia, and become the senate.

A Limerick There once was a man with a quip, Who engaged in the Provo Dip, He soaked his weird willy With a girl who seemed silly, And if god found out he would flip. Hi and welcome to Wednesday! We're pretty eclectic this episode. We start off by talking about adult fears for a sec and quickly transition to talking about the quirky personality types we ran into growing up. This somehow goes on to become more of us sharing stories and experiences from our youth. Enjoy us wingin' it this time around.
