This month we are interviewing our very own, Cyrus Martin. Cy has written books, made an indie movie, made an indie video game, done voice acting, and has a successful YouTube channel. But we wanted to chat with him about something he has done that very few can say they have, especially in these modern times; created a magazine!

Ep 55 - I'm Just Not Feeling It
#55
03/17/2025

It’s time to catch up with the group and see what they have been working on. And that’s apparently not much. Sure, some progress is being made on different projects but for the most part everyone seems to be in a rut. Is it the weather? Is it the economy? Is it the political climate? All of the above? If you’ve found it’s getting harder to get your creative juices flowing, you’re not alone.

Ep 52 - What Did I Say?
#52
11/18/2024

Halloween is over and we’re heading into the Christmas season (with a quick layover for Thanksgiving). So we’re recounting what we’ve done the past 2 months and kind of looking ahead. We’re all tired so no one has huge plans. But we do discuss how learning from a pro sets your expectations going forward and looking back. Or not. Like I said, it’s been a rough week.

#50
09/16/2024

It’s time once again to catch up on all of the creative projects we’ve been working on. It’s also time to start getting ready for our favorite time of year, Halloween. On this episode we discuss shops, costumes, and other long running projects. We also discuss what it’s like to grow up with little money and how that effects us, even to this day, as makers. And then go down a rabbit hole about death and what to do with our stuff. Fun times!

Ep 49 - Maybe We Should Do a Parenting Podcast
#49
08/19/2024

Guess which episode it is? Forty nine. But you knew that because you read the show tittle and didn’t accidentally get your notes swapped around like Eugene did. So instead of our regularly scheduled show where we check in on the projects we are working on, we’re doing another episode where we discuss what we are watching, listening to, thinking about and doing. Spoiler alert! Deadpool & Wolverine and parenting.

#48
07/15/2024

We’re chatting about all of the stuff we have been watching, listenings to, thinking about and doing. And the majority of it is older stuff. Old movies, old TV shows, old music. In some cases, what’s old is new again, or at least, new to us.

Ep 47 - Its Not a Project Until Ray Bleeds
#47
06/24/2024

Cy is under the weather but the show must go on. This month Kris, Ray & Eugene discuss how their personal projects are coming along and how being injured sucks when trying to be creative. But it just comes with the territory for some of us because apparently unless Ray gets injured somehow, it doesn’t count as a project in the Andrew household.

#46
05/20/2024

We’re catching up on all the stuff we’ve been watching, listening to, thinking about and doing. And not watching or listening to. Turns out we haven’t had a ton of time to watch and listen to stuff, a lot of us have been pretty busy building stuff and setting stuff up. And yes, I realize I’ve used the word stuff a lot. And I’m not going to change it. Stuff.

#45
04/29/2024

Eugene got moved into his new home. Yay! And has been doing nothing but unpacking and setting things up for weeks. Also yay? Meanwhile Kris is being hot in a sweater and writing, Cy has been cooking and Ray failed at doing nothing… and built an awesome secret door. Plus, there is a common theory going around that you will always have more hobbies than time to explore them. Is it true?

01/15/2024

The flu strikes and Ray is out this episode but we soldier on without him. We catch up on what we’ve been working on as well as discuss some big name YouTubers leaving the platform. Between burn-out, low profits and the push for shorts, is YouTube about to become a ghost town? Also tile, we talk a lot about tile.

Ep 42 - I'm Going On a Tangent

Sometimes you need to get to the point and just get the information you need. I wish some people at work would understand that. But when it comes to catching up with friends, the winding path is almost always more enjoyable. This month we discuss what we are watching, listening to, thinking about and working on and take many tangents to other topics. So grab something to sip on and maybe a snack and let’s take a trip.

11/13/2023

It’s been a minute since we’ve had an episode so there was a lot to talk about this time around. Everything from making clone armor to baking, decorating for Halloween to making a magazine. We managed to get some stuff done, that was on our to-do lists and some that was not, and have plans for what we’d like to accomplish next time.

Eugene is building a house! Well, he hopes he is. With inflation and interest rates really high right now, it’s not the best time. But sometimes you just have to bite the bullet. In other news, Cy is joining the show! This is our media catch-up episode so we’re talking Ahsoka, Star Trek: TNG and tons of stuff that isn’t mortgage based!

Ep 39 - Too Hot to Care
#39
08/14/2023

Despite the temperature in Texas hanging around the 104, 105 mark, Eugene managed to still get several things on his to-do list done. Sure they were mostly inside where it was nice and cool, but they still count! Meanwhile in Canada, the elevated heat has put a damper on the mood and the to-do lists; especially those items that require being outside.

This month we do our updates from the previous two months. Ray worked on his shop, Kris worked on her book and Eugene worked on his proton pack. Plus a bunch of other stuff. Also, is it OK to deny yourself something in order to get projects done? We don’t have an answer, but we talk about it.

It’s time to sit down and discuss what we’ve consuming media wise. It’s also time to discuss what’s on our minds. While Ray and Kris would love to move to England, or Harry Potter World, same thing really, Eugene may be planning a move to his “retirement” home sooner than he planned.

This month is our media catch up episode. We’ve been watching all of the big shows out right now; The Last of Us, The Mandolorian, Picard: Season 3. But this month Eugene gets to talk about a bucket list item he got to check off by meeting a hero of his. The saying goes, “don’t meet your heroes.” Perhaps, you should meet them, as long as they are worth being called a hero.

Ep 33 - Work Life Balancing
#33
02/20/2023

Gen Xers and Millennials epitomized the idea of the “side hustle;” turning a passion project into a second job that one day might replace their primary job. But Gen Z has pushed that aside in favor of work life balance; and we couldn’t agree more. This month we catch up on what we’ve been working on and discuss how it’s OK for a hobby to remain just a hobby.
