What Just Happened?

Latest Episodes:

Journey (Ep. 100) Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

It's our 100th episode! Rather than doing a Q&A (coming soon), Eugene and David celebrated the special occasion by ... renting cars. We explain in the episode. In a strange way, cars are also symbolic of the journey that life takes us on. We have one more episode this season before taking a summer hiatus. As always, thank you for listening!

Travel Stories (Ep. 99) May 25, 2021

Show notes

As the U.S. starts to open up, David and Eugene continue their series on travel. Why do we travel? What are some of our favorite travel memories? Where do we look forward to going in the future? (And what's the story behind Eugene's larger than life ice cream cone?) We hope all of you are doing well, and are able to create travel memories with your loved ones soon. As always, thank you for listening!

Return to Disney World (someday!) (Ep. 98) May 11, 2021

Show notes

This is a somewhat different type of episode. The topic of the day is officially "research" -- how to approach research, what questions to ask, where to find resources. But to make it fun, David talks about planning an aspirational family trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, while Eugene asks key questions about how to make the process less overwhelming. (Really, though, what this episode reveals is that our hosts are feeling the effects of the pandemic travel restrictions!) As always, thank you for listening!

Minari (Spoilers!) (Ep. 97) Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

From our last episode's focus on reality TV, we turn to the critically acclaimed independent film Minari. Beyond the accolades and awards (congrats Youn Yuh-jung!), this movie hit home for both David and Eugene on a personal level. We talk about all the ways it did. As always, thank you for listening!

The Heart Wants What It Wants - Bling Empire (Spoilers!) (Ep. 96) Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

(Note: This episode was recorded before the mass shooting in Atlanta.)

As further proof the pandemic has caused David to crack, look no further than how he fell down the rabbit hole of the (highly entertaining) Netflix reality series, "Bling Empire." It took a little more convincing to get Eugene to join the watch party but -- to no surprise of long time listeners of this podcast -- it turns out Eugene had a lot to say about not only this television show, but reality TV, relationships, romance, and love. As always, thanks for listening!

In the last episode, Eugene discussed how he formatted OmniFocus to see his tasks one at a time, for enhanced focus. For those who are interested, in this bonus segment, Eugene goes in depth about how he was able to create this perspective.

The next episode will be released on April 13th. We hope you are all doing well. Thanks for listening!

Busy isn't fine (Ep. 95) Mar 23, 2021

Show notes

Who knew life in a pandemic could be so busy? In this episode, Eugene solves how to use OmniFocus best for him. We also take a bigger picture approach to our To Do lists and think about how we can reduce the overall busyness and stress in our lives, and close with a discussion of who does the grocery shopping for our respective families. As always, thank you for listening!

Why I Spent Nearly $200 on a To-Do App (Ep. 94) Mar 10, 2021

Show notes

I (David) am terrible at to do lists. More often than not I can't remember where I put my list in the first place. In this episode, Eugene and I discuss how I've become a new convert to OmniFocus, while Eugene harbors some well founded doubts. As always, thank you for listening!

"We're just weird people, Eugene" -- David's Enneagram (Ep. 93) Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

In the third and final episode of the Enneagram series, the spotlight turns on David who discusses the unusual experience of being equal parts type 5 (Investigator) and type 9 (Peacemaker). David discusses how he was more naturally an investigator while peacemaking was something he needed to work on, how his types impact his marriage and relationships, and why this combination can lead to both contentment and complacency. We're so glad you took this Enneagram journey with. As always, thank you for listening!

The Euge Abides - Enneagram Helpers (2) and Enthusiasts (7) (Ep. 92) Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

In part 2 of our series on Enneagrams, we dive deep into types two (helper) and seven (enthusiast). As a lifelong helper, Eugene tells us how his helper type has changed over time for the better, and what he thinks helpers are like in relationships. He also reveals why he may not be as strong an enthusiast as David believes, but also where he wants to direct his enthusiast energy. The next episode will be our last in the Enneagram series (for now) where we discuss David's results. As always, thanks for listening!
