Birthdays can be bittersweet. It's a day to be celebrated or to celebrate someone else. But what about the knee pain? What about the gray hairs? We want you to know, that the fine folks at Similar Vein podcast think age should be revered. In this episode, Jake struggles with being the center of attention as we talk about our favorite birthday traditions and how we sometimes fall short as we try to make important people in our lives feel celebrated. Whatever we disagree on, we do agree that a "bi...

This is probably the most accurate depiction of a conversation we have daily. Everyone is due for a haircut at some point, right? Some of us (maybe it's Jake) have an appointment in the calendar every few weeks and thoroughly enjoy the experience. Some of us (definitely Tyler) can't remember the last time they went and have an emotional crisis every time it's due. Which one are you? It's okay to be afraid. You really are trusting someone with sharp blades around your head. Follow us on Instagram...

Every year we look forward to the traditions and good times we have with friends and family.

There's a lot of things in our daily lives that give us that dopamine rush. Looking at our phones (TikTok and Instagram mainly, let’s be honest), going out with friends, and binging our favorite shows are some ways we get our fix. But what happens when we come down from the high? In this episode, we talk about ways we cope with the highs and lows of our day-in and day-out. Maybe the constant drip of instant gratification isn't good for us. When you try to take something unhealthy away, do you tr...

Everyone is looking for fulfillment. There's probably not a person you ask that doesn't wish they had it. Maybe your job funds your weekend or vacation days. Maybe you're constantly present at work and that's enough for you. There's a lot of ways to enjoy what we get out of our jobs, but that doesn't mean it's always easy to step in line.

Have you ever felt like life doesn’t feel like you thought it would? Sometimes we're fighting against others' expectations of us, and sometimes we're fighting against our expectations of ourselves. In this episode we talk about our expectations of others, but also how others’ expectations of us can both propel us forward or hold us back. We feel that it's best to go at your own pace and run your own race. Competition can be good, but don't let it pull you down. Follow us on Instagram! Similar Ve...

We look up to a lot of artists for inspiration. Going to shows always makes us want to go home and practice until we can't stay awake. For some of us, it's easy to become complacent with our abilities. For others, no amount of practice will ever make perfect. Sometimes we get overwhelmed when we realize the path to greatness is difficult. Do you have something that you're working on as often as you can find the time?

Do you ever feel the need to be well versed in the topics your peers talk about? For us, we want to be able to hold a conversation in any situation, but find ourselves learning to walk away from discussions that might not interest us. There's so many things to be interested in, and maybe it's better if we can just let people like things. Have you ever felt like an outsider during a group conversation? Follow us on Instagram!

Rounding the corner to the end of the year, we wanted to give our listeners a sense of how we’ve handled this whole thing so far. On one hand, it’s been a great time for us to get work done from home, but on the other it’s been hard on our mental states. Covid Fatigue is real, and it’s definitely catching up to us.

We often find ourselves getting lost in day dreams of days past. When we were kids, all we wanted to do was become adults. Now we sometimes long for the carefree times we used to have. In this episode, we swap a few stories from college and then get on to a heavier matter. When we're doing the daily grind can we find something to look forward to? Maybe it's about making our own good times. Is there really a way to know the good old days are happening before we leave them? Follow us on Instagram!...

Do you ever wonder what it'd be like to walk next to robots on the street? Or maybe go to your favorite coffee shop and get served by a less-than-human?

In movies they say we only use 10% of our brains while we're awake. This isn't entirely true, but sometimes it feels like that's all we have to work with when it comes down to getting things done. The guys have very different ways of working, but they do agree that it would be nice to clone themselves and trade off on work days. Does anyone know a guy? Or maybe his clone?

It’s not always easy to get rid of that T-shirt that fits just right but is well past it’s expiration date. We think it’s important to know what you have and have what you need. We like to make sure the things we have serve a purpose and bring value to our lives at the same time. In this episode we work through the necessities and the unnecessary and share some examples of excess in each of our lives (how many of the same jacket do you think Ty has?)
