The guys are kicking off the New Year with an 80s bombshell! Join Robert and Kyle as they breakdown the hilariously absurd action movie: Hard Ticket to Hawaii! Filled to the brim with all the Knocker Clockin', snake exploding, lethal frisbee throwing insanity that you could possibly ask for in a breezy 90mins. This may be a strong contender for best movie review of 2026 and we've only just started! As always, thank you for listening!

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the difference between quitting too soon vs. burn out. How do we encourage our kids to work through challenges while being careful not to force them into activities that they grow to hate/resent? As parents, we think it's important to help our children build skills like resilience and self-confidence by tackling difficult things. But how do we properly moderate and find that balance while avoiding burnout for ourselves and our kids? Also, did Robert Rick Roll Kyle and everyone else...?

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss having vicarious joy for others. There is no need to treat Success as a limited resource; happiness is not zero sum. We should find joy in others' success and look to them for inspiration that can help us in our lives. Shifting from a comparison mindset to an inspiration mindset will do wonders for your friendships. As always, thank you for listening!

This week, Robert takes us through his recent knee surgery (Happy 40th Birthday) and hobbling around for his holiday break.

Join the guys as they recap crazy family festivities and give a list of their favorite Christmas movies. As always, feel free to reach out to us at ⁠⁠DeepHopics@gmail.com⁠⁠.Thanks for listening!

Kyle and Robert explore the idea of learning styles—personal preferences for how people take in information, such as visual,auditory, or hands-on—and the many models that attempt to categorize them. While these frameworks are popular, the guys discuss major criticisms, including how difficult learning styles are to measure and the lack of strong evidence that people actually learn better when instruction is matched to apreferred style. Research suggests that most of us are naturally multi-sensory learners and that focusing too narrowly on one style may even be limiting. The key takeaway is that effective learning comes from using multiple methods,spacing practice over time, matching the teaching approach to the material itself, and reinforcing understanding by teaching others.

Just in time for the holiday season, the guys are breakingdown the hilariously whacky 1964 classic: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! Joining the hosts this week is our resident shark expert and holiday movie enthusiast friend Chris! The group doesn't shy away from the hard questionssuch as: Which is the scarier villain to encounter in a snowstorm: A Devious Martian, a Polar Bear with Rabies, or Torg the Evil Robot? Can Santa bring holiday cheer to the poor Martian children? And what the heck is the deal withDropo the Martian? Join Robert, Kyle, and Chris for some holiday cheer and some cinematic nonsense! As always, thanks for listening.

It was a whirlwind week as Kyle recaps his trip to Disney onan adults only anniversary celebration! Rollercoasters, freezing outdoor shows, beers from around the world, inexperienced coffee indigestion, and a broken phone round out an awesome trip! Next, Robert plays host as the guys breakdown their Thanksgiving traditions, including offering a few hot takes on food staples (ham or turkey? 2nds vs dessert?). Also, a special shout-out to Kyle's mom who turned 60 this month! As always, feel free to reach out to us at DeepHopics@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!
