Air travel used to be simple: buy a ticket, get on the plane, and go. Now? Basic economy, seat selection fees, carry-on charges, boarding groups, shrinking legroom, and somehow the snacks keep getting worse. ✈️🥜

In this episode of Where Are We Going With This?, we take a look at the wild world of airlines — from budget carriers and loyalty programs to why flying somehow feels both cheaper and more expensive than ever.

Are airlines getting better… or are we just getting used to less?

We break down the trends, the strange airline rules, the future of flying, and ask the question:

Where are we going with airlines?

SPECIAL THANKS to our incredible guest, Ty! See you in the air!

From bison burgers to bold business principles — what can one brand teach us about the future of dining?

In this episode of Where Are We Going With This?, we spotlight Ted's Montana Grill and ask a bigger question: In a world of drive-thrus, delivery apps, and disappearing hospitality, what actually makes a restaurant endure?

We’re joined by Krissie, proprietor of the Jacksonville Town Center location, to unpack what sets Ted’s apart — from its commitment to American bison and sustainability to its old-school approach to service, leadership, and culture. We explore how brand identity, operational excellence, and values-based decision making shape not just a menu, but an experience.

Are restaurants becoming faster and more transactional… or more intentional and story-driven? Can a legacy-minded concept thrive in a convenience-first culture? And what does it take to lead well in an industry that never slows down?

This isn’t just about one restaurant — it’s about where the entire dining industry might be headed.

Ballparks used to be simple: grass, hot dogs, and a box score. Now they’re billion-dollar entertainment districts with craft breweries, LED light shows, luxury clubs, and Instagrammable backdrops. So… where are we going with stadiums?

In this episode of Where Are We Going With This?, we step into the world of baseball and explore how Major League ballparks have evolved—from historic icons like Boston Red Sox’ home at Fenway Park to architectural showpieces like Oracle Park and Truist Park.

Our special guest, Chris, has done what few fans ever will—he’s visited every single MLB stadium. From the electric October atmosphere in the Bronx to midweek games in the Midwest, he shares what makes each park unique, which ones are overrated, and what trends are shaping the next generation of baseball experiences.

Are stadiums becoming theme parks? Are we losing tradition in the name of comfort and revenue? Or are we witnessing the golden age of live sports environments?

If baseball is America’s pastime, stadiums are becoming America’s playground. Let’s talk about it. ⚾️

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Why does chocolate cost $47 now… and who decided we need matching pajamas?!

In this episode of Where Are We Going With This?, we dive into the evolution of Valentine’s Day — from handwritten love letters to Instagram soft launches and “just Venmo me” energy.

Are we getting more romantic… or just more expensive?

Is Galentine’s taking over?

Did Cupid start this whole thing as a marketing stunt?

We break down the history, the pressure, the chaos, and where Valentine’s Day might be headed next.

Is it about love… or algorithms?

Also, hear the embarrassing and funny stories of how our hosts met their now brides!

Special thanks to Mandi Hamilton, Caitlyn Coppernoll, and Mandee Matthews for running the show today.... it's clearly our best looking podcast yet!

Where Are We Going With Fatherhood?!

Everyone wants a father–son legacy like Dale Earnhardt Sr. & Jr. or Ken Griffey Sr. & Jr.—hall of fame talent, iconic moments, names on the back of jerseys. But for most of us, fatherhood looks a lot less like Daytona or the MLB and a lot more like a 9–5 job, packed lunches, and driving a 2002 Toyota Corolla with the check-engine light on.

In this episode of Where Are We Going With This?, we talk about the real version of fatherhood—the pressure to provide, the desire to be present, and the challenge of building a meaningful legacy without the spotlight. It’s an honest, relatable conversation about influence, expectations, and showing up when it matters most.

We’re joined by our guest Kyle, who brings thoughtful perspective and real-life insight into what it means to be a great dad in everyday moments.

Because fatherhood isn’t about being legendary—it’s about being there.

So… where are we going with fatherhood?

Where Are We Going With Delivery???

From handwritten letters and rain-soaked mailmen to same-day shipping, drones in the sky, and robots rolling up to your front porch—delivery has gone full sci-fi. In this episode, we unpack how we got here, why patience is officially dead, and whether your next Amazon package will be dropped off by a human, a bot, or something that beeps aggressively at your door. Is convenience making life better… or just faster and weirder? Strap in—because the future of delivery is already ringing your doorbell. 📦🤖

Where Are We Going With Soccer?! ⚽️

Soccer is the world’s game… but somehow also a sport where a clock counts up, ties are totally acceptable, and one guy can fall over like he got hit by a bus and then sprint five seconds later. So where is soccer actually headed? From VAR ruining friendships, flopping becoming an Olympic-level skill, and refs being public enemies, to billion-dollar leagues, Messi showing up in America like it’s a Marvel cameo, and the U.S. finally pretending to care—this episode tackles the future of the beautiful game. Is soccer evolving? Breaking? Or just one rule change away from total chaos? We argue, laugh, and probably upset at least one fan base along the way.

Where Are We Going With Smoking Meats?!

Smoke is everywhere. Rising from briskets. Floating over campfires. Lingering mysteriously after Old Testament animal sacrifices. And hanging permanently over the Jacksonville Jaguars’ win–loss record. In this episode, we follow the smoke wherever it goes—holy, hickory, hopeless, or just slightly concerning. We talk backyard smokers, ceremonial fire, survivalist vibes, and why humanity has always believed that if something smells good (or tragic) enough, it must mean something. Is smoke a sign of celebration, sacrifice, or suffering fandom? And more importantly… where is all this smoke actually headed? Grab a chair, fan the flames, and try not to inhale too deeply.
