Honkers & Booties
Flash showed up uninvited, hit the mute button, presented his cat butt to RJ, and left like nothing happened. Oakley had opinions about the cats. Hartley chewed through wires on the Expedition that turned out to be fine, which is the only way that story was going to end well. Two Canadian gooseapuses used the pond as a rest stop during a storm and took off like seaplanes. Then RJ opened the stenopad. What followed was a full housekeeping audit of every topic ever written down and never discus...

Flash Hacks The Pentagon
Oakley, Finley, and Flash are all in the studio and none of them were invited. Spotify thinks Set & Centered listeners should also check out Calm Your Daily Stress and Handbag Designer 101, which we are choosing to take as a compliment. Mark wrote to Shania Twain from an aircraft carrier in 1994, she wrote back with autographed photos for the whole crew, and he found out the same day he took a catapult launch off the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Meanwhile: Cher held an entire naval vessel host...

The Portfolio of Life
Finding Nemo has been fully watched, including the turtle scene this time. RJ returns with an official updated review — same five categories, same seven-duckie scale — and the scores have moved. Some significantly. Meanwhile, a Mother's Day gift spent six days in the Dallas regional facility before anyone told it to leave, RJ walks through the entire tracking history in real time, and somehow it's riveting. Then: Mark's six to eight carousels of 35mm slides from his Seattle photography days, ...

17 Out of 35 Duckies
RJ watched Finding Nemo. It took two months, a lapel mic, a homemade review template scored in duckies, and royalty-free background music that sounds — his words — a little like porn music. He also accidentally skipped the turtle scene. Mark is not letting that go. The official Set & Centered rating system makes its debut, Dirty Dancing is formally up next, and somewhere in East Texas, Chimp Crazy remains unwatched. In this episode: • Why RJ put Icy Hot on an insect bite right before reco...

We're Anti-Sponsoring Layne's Chicken Fingers
RJ went down a YouTube rabbit hole at midnight watching West Coast swing dance competitions in Singapore. This led to a completely serious investigation into why nobody has brought the Macarena back. Then there was a road trip to Palestine, Texas to mail a Mother's Day gift, a spontaneous decision to try a new chicken finger place instead of Chicken Express, and 27 minutes of waiting for food that absolutely did not earn it. This episode contains an unsolicited fake ad, a genuine consumer war...

Hemipenes Horror Show
We start with small talk and somehow end up in a full-blown spiral about air purifier settings, gate placement, and why our brains love to torture us over tiny choices. From ranch projects to scorpions to an 8-foot boa named Rosie, we keep laughing while we try to make sense of pets, pests, and the weird logic of real life. In this episode: • Joking around about the heat and getting derailed by planes on a screen • Getting stuck on air purifier Auto mode versus Pet mode • Needing someone to ...

Back On The Ranch
We’re back in the studio swapping road stories, ranch updates, and the kind of pet logistics that never show up on a map. A cross-country detour to pick up a family dog turns into a homecoming full of food math, messy cleanup, and one very nervous pit mix. In this episode: • Returning to in-studio recording and missed release catch-up • Pacific Northwest plans derailed by a North Carolina dog pickup • 4000 drive details and why three dogs kill hotel plans • Kansas City stop and visiting the ...

In The Wild: Tickle Me Baby Shark
We head outside to record and immediately prove we should not be trusted with telescopes, technology, or having a podcast. We start under the night sky and somehow end up in a wandering tour of pop culture, nostalgia, pets, small business economics, and the chaos of trying to capture shooting stars. In this episode: • Forgetting the plan and leaning into the tangent • A Star Trek gripe about "full fire" visuals • Star Wars theatrical re-release • Ryan Reynolds comfort rewatches a...
