You're going to a dinner party and they tell you not to bring anything. What do you do? Still bring something? Obey the wishes of your host...but what if you're the only one that doesn't bring something? It's touchy, right?? Now we just have to get invited to a party...

A few weeks ago we discussed movies we haven't seen that everyone else loves. Let's flip that around: What are our favorites that most other folks seem to have missed? The rollcall of actors starring in these films includes Spencer Tracy, Kathleen Turner, Colin Farrell, Steve Martin, Luke Wilson, and...Don Johnson? Grab a pencil and add these hidden gems to your list (right ahead of Shawshank Redemption, of course).

Next we go in for our annual check-up. How are we approaching our health (both physical and mental) as we age? We've learned lots of lessons from friends and family about what to do (or not do) to keep ourselves healthy so we're around for each other and the people we love. Jocó has some harrowing stories about how workplace health programs caught some problems before they became fatal, and John shares lessons learned from working in the health field and his own journey of sobriety. Ween's family provides motivation to take care of himself, both his immediate family and his sister who pushes him in the right direction. Jax is gonna Jax, but even he has a new exercise routine and is making more investments in his well-being. How has your approach to wellness changed over the years?For the whip-around we revisit a Connect More classic: Ear Worms! What songs just won't. Leave. Your. Head. Classic rock, 1990s pop, '80s slop, and a few modern catchy current tunes all make an appearance. To see the running list of all the Connect More ear worms check out our Ear Worm Playlist on Spotify. Proceed with caution: You might not get rid of these for a while!

Welcome to our very first Connect More Roundtable! Sometimes we need to slow down a bit, get more conversational, and build a deeper connection with the cool people in our lives. This week we're sitting down with Connect More superfan Tina Van Lancker! She's in Omaha now and we don't see her that often, so this was a great chance to reconnect and catch up.

Because she happens to be Joco's sister, we all have a long history with Tina! Given the length of time we've known her, we had plenty of ammunition to give her some serious sh!t, but we also learned a lot about what it was like growing up in the Van Lancker household. From pranks to pets, we had had a fun, wide-ranging discussion. Hang that Andy Gibb poster on the wall, put "Blondes Have More Fun" on the turntable, and enjoy our first Roundtable discussion.

Who else should we invite to the Roundtable? Send us an email at cnxmorepod@gmail.com with your suggestions, or start a conversation about good guests on our Facebook or Instagram pages. We LOVE hearing from our listeners!

In the Midwest we don't keep our junk in tha trunk...we keep it in the drawer! This topic got a bit controversial because apparently there are regions of the US where people don't have junk drawers (or won't admit it?) What's in YOUR junk drawer? Wear it with pride, Midwesterners!

In a pre-streaming age, we all spent a lot of time at the mall record store. For new LPs, we usually went to Camelot or Musicland, but we also review some of the great used vinyls stores scattered across the state. It was lots of fun to hear about John's time behind the counter at Camelot, getting judgmental about the choices of the uncool, uninformed rabble.

"In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again." When's the last time you emulated Alice and went down a rabbit hole? The boys describe some topics that dragged them down into the depths, clicking link after link, spiraling out of control. Data centers, old-timey photos, fantasy football research, and baseball stats are among the things that sucked us in. “Curiouser and curiouser!”

"The name is Round. Whippa Round." From Connect More with love, we bring you...our favorite James Bond villains. From the earliest days of the 007 films up to the present day, we zero in on what makes these bad dudes so much fun to hate. As always, we'd love to hear your pick for best Bond villain. Hit us up in the Spotify comments, YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram.
