In the first episode of 2026, Tim and Mike kick off the new year with a wide-ranging, thoughtful conversation about recovery, restlessness, identity, and wanting more out of life. Mike shares how foot surgery has already improved his quality of life, while Tim reflects on burnout, self-inflicted stress, and the difficulty of slowing down after years of grinding.

The episode moves between lighthearted stories and deeper reflection: working through the holidays, the mental toll of returning to the office, trips...

In this laid-back episode, Tim and Daniel catch up over a Saturday-morning podcast, talking through parenting milestones, holiday traditions, and the weird realization that they’re now the adults in the room. They start with lighthearted stories about kids’ basketball games, sleepovers, and Elf on the Shelf — including how children are starting to question whether their parents are just “too lazy” to move the elves.

The conversation shifts into Christmas traditions: wrapped vs. unwrapped Santa gifts, Christmas Eve versus Christmas...

This episode begins as a thrown-together recording: Joseph showed up, Nikki was invited last minute, Eric was kidnapped from his house, and Mike (fresh out of surgery) ignores all their calls. From there, the group dives into their usual blend of humor, storytelling, and family honesty.
They debate podcast “intro music etiquette,” complain about listeners who complain, and talk about doing a future live call-in show. The big topic becomes Christmas traditions—specifically, whether Santa’s gifts should be wrapped or left...

Episode #51

In this episode, Tim and Joseph settle into one of their most personal and nostalgic conversations yet. They start by discussing their revived tradition of frying turkeys — something their dad used to do — and the logistical comedy of delivering foil-wrapped “fried butterball basketballs” to the whole family. The episode quickly turns into a memory spiral: childhood pets, the infamous one-eyed Cocker Spaniel Hershey, his year-long disappearance and “Christmas miracle” return, and the heartbreak of him later being hit by a truck w...

Episode #50

In this laid-back, funny episode, Tim and Mike open by admitting they lack basic “survival skills” — neither can hunt, gut a deer, or live off the land. That launches a stream of self-deprecating jokes about what they would do if society collapsed: rely on fishing, commentary, or just eating each other.
From there, they drift into what becomes the core of the episode: their obsession with cooking techniques. Tim explains how he and Joseph still fry turkeys every...

In this Thanksgiving episode, Tim looks back on the holiday traditions that shaped him. Triggered by the recent passing of his grandfather Gene, he revisits his childhood routines — first Thanksgiving dinner at his grandmother Gran’s tidy home in Donelson, then a chaotic second meal at Unile's house in Antioch, where the air was thick with cigarette smoke, laughter, and arguments about dressing recipes. He describes riding in the family minivan between houses, watching stars through the cracked window, and recognizing how...

Recorded shortly after Gene Hollis’s final arrangements were planned, this episode captures Tim, his brother Joseph, and his wife Katlin trying to process a difficult week with humor and realism. They open with a toast of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked in Gene’s honor, recalling how he was flirting with nurses even on his final day. The trio recounts their uncomfortable — and hilarious — experience at the funeral home, debating coffin prices, joking about “accommodating coffins,” and making the young funeral director vis...

Tim and his Nikki sit down after an emotional week to process the death of Tim’s grandfather, Gene Hollis. The episode begins with casual hot-tub banter, then shifts into reflections on family loss, care, and closure. They recall Gene’s final hours, his humor until the very end, and the long line of family members they’ve personally watched pass away. The discussion moves toward how the couple supported Gene by moving him into their home, helping him transition to assist...

Tim welcomes his son Eli and niece Jenna to The Fairview Social Podcast for their first-ever appearance. What starts with jokes about a can of SpaghettiOs (from a viral TikTok comment) turns into a family catch-up filled with wild stories — like Eli’s 140-mph speeding ticket that landed him briefly in jail, Jenna’s multiple foot surgeries after a car crash, and how both of them keep getting caught in the family’s “birthday curse” where everyone’s born the same week. The trio...

Tim reunites with his friends Zach and Mike for a relaxed, funny conversation that moves between personal stories, work banter, and creative ideas. They joke about calling Joseph mid-show and fantasize about buying a small plane to fly from Tim's backyard, discuss AI tools used in business proposals, and swap ideas for landscaping, fire pits, and DIY projects. There’s talk about COVID-era memories, Halloween vs. Thanksgiving, and how time seems to fly by. The crew also discusses podcast ads, listener gr...

In this episode, Tim hosts Joseph and Eric for a relaxed and often hilarious chat over Woodford Reserve Double Oaked whiskey. The trio kicks off by toasting Gene, a family member now in hospice, and then spiral into jokes about podcast intros, YouTube culture, and “smacking the like button.” Eric shares his success running Goblin Con, a local paranormal convention, and the group reminisces about growing up together in Fairview — from childhood pranks to church youth groups and haunted houses. Joseph tells...
