Join Scott and Jim as they hit the road for a mouthwatering adventure to Crete, Illinois! This week, the Powers Point crew trades the studio for some smoky, saucy goodness at Smokey Joe’s BBQ, where the ribs fall off the bone and the conversation is just as juicy. After filling up on brisket and banter, the guys stroll over to the legendary Closet Collectables—a treasure trove of toys, action figures, and pop culture nostalgia that sends them both down memory lane.

Scott and JB are back for another interesting week on The Powers Point Podcast! The guys kick back and catch up on life before diving into this week’s hilarious topic — things our parents told us that turned out to be total bullshit. From outdated advice to sayings that make zero sense today, nothing’s off-limits in this laugh-filled episode. It’s honest, funny, and exactly the kind of laid-back conversation you’ve come to expect from The Powers Point Podcast.
After a few weeks off, Scott and Jim are finally back behind the mics — and it’s like they never left!

The guys wrap up the episode by diving into another batch of fascinating facts that’ll leave you saying “no way that’s real!” From the weird to the wonderful, it’s classic Powers Point: a mix of laughter, random knowledge, and two friends catching up like no time has passed at all.
Step inside the world’s strangest museums with Scott and Jim as your tour guides. From galleries dedicated to dog collars and instant ramen, to halls filled with mummies, parasites, and even lawnmowers, we shine a spotlight on the quirky collections that prove anything can be a museum if you try hard enough. Along the way, we’ll laugh at the absurd, marvel at the bizarre, and maybe even add a few of these places to your bucket list (though you might want to think twice before visiting the museum of bad art or the one full of giant tapeworms). Because in this episode, history isn’t just strange—it’s proudly on display.
On this week’s Powers Point Podcast, we crack open the history books — but not in the boring way your high school teacher did. Nope, we’re talking about the weird, brain-melting timeline crossovers that’ll make you go, “Hold up… no way those two were alive at the same time!” From artists and rock stars to presidents and inventors, history is full of surprising overlaps you probably never thought about. We’re digging into the strange, funny, and sometimes unbelievable coincidences that connect people across centuries. Think of it as trivia night meets a time machine, Powers Point style. So, buckle up, because once you hear these crossovers, you’ll never look at history the same way again.

What are the moments that define your life's journey? The signposts that mark where you've been and how far you've come? In this deeply personal episode, Scott, Jim, and Keith dive into the concept of personal milestones—those significant markers that represent key moments in our individual paths. Through heartfelt storytelling, the hosts reveal their most meaningful achievements and the life lessons learned along the way. Scott shares the powerful full-circle moment of wrestling professionally in the same Tennessee venue where he watched his first match as a child—a testament to perseverance and childhood dreams realized. Jim opens up about becoming a father at 40 after 13 years of marriage when he and his wife had nearly given up hope, now navigating raising a kind-hearted son in a sometimes harsh world. Meanwhile, Keith reveals his triumph over an educational system that failed him, and how obtaining his GED represented not just academic achievement but personal vindication. The conversation expands to explore other significant milestones—from military service to homeownership after years in trailer parks—while acknowledging a friend's one-year sobriety anniversary. Throughout, the hosts emphasize that milestones differ for everyone, with each person's journey uniquely their own. What emerges is a powerful reminder that whether big or small, every achievement deserves recognition. As the hosts put it, "Be proud of what you did in life, man, even the smallest things matter." In a world often focused on comparing ourselves to others, this episode invites you to celebrate your own path and the obstacles you've overcome. What milestone are you working toward? Or which achievement deserves more recognition than you've given it? Share your thoughts and join the conversation about the markers that make our lives meaningful.

Remember the days of arcades filled with quarters jingling in your pocket? The satisfaction of finally beating that impossible level after dozens of tries? The Power Point Podcast crew takes you on a nostalgic journey through gaming history while exploring what's capturing their attention today. Jim reveals his ongoing obsession with Retro Mania Wrestling, a pixel-perfect throwback to arcade wrestling games that's about to release exciting DLC featuring legends like Macho Man Randy Savage. Meanwhile, Keith shares how racing games have become a competitive family affair in his household, with his daughter mysteriously dominating every time trial despite his best efforts. Scott confesses his frustration with overly complex control schemes, championing simplicity in gaming design that lets players focus on fun rather than memorizing button combinations. The conversation winds through cherished memories of classic board games—Mousetrap's elaborate Rube Goldberg contraptions, Operation's nerve-wracking buzzer (which the hosts lament isn't as shocking in modern versions), and Perfection's anxiety-inducing timer. There's a shared concern that today's digital-native children are missing out on these analog experiences, with many preferring to watch others play games on YouTube rather than engaging directly. As one host puts it: "Kids aren't using their imagination anymore." From arcade experiences to the emerging frontier of virtual reality gaming, the discussion showcases how gaming continues to evolve while still fulfilling our fundamental desire for play, competition, and escape. Whether you're a casual gamer, a dedicated enthusiast, or someone who hasn't picked up a controller in years, this episode will rekindle your appreciation for the universal joy of games. Tune in to hear about Black Sabbath's epic final concert, upcoming collaborations with other podcasts, and which childhood games still haunt the hosts decades later. What are YOU playing these days?

Ever wonder how America's birthday celebration became so explosive? This spontaneous Fourth of July special takes you on a firework-fueled journey through Independence Day traditions, surprising historical coincidences, and childhood memories that shape our national celebration. Scott Powers and Keith Maki dive into the fascinating world of neighborhood firework displays, where some enthusiasts invest upwards of $10,000 for their backyard spectacles. They explore the origins of America's firework obsession, revealing how the tradition began in 1777 when Philadelphia first lit up its skies with explosives imported from China – a relationship that continues to this day. The conversation takes unexpected turns through roller coaster adventures, presidential coincidences, and the perfect hamburger. Did you know three U.S. presidents died on July 4th, with Thomas Jefferson and John Adams passing just hours apart on the same day in 1826? Or that Americans collectively spend over $2.5 billion on Independence Day food alone? These fascinating tidbits emerge alongside personal anecdotes about smoke bombs, grilled delicacies, and the eternal debate over whether to watch fireworks from below or experience them from above. Whether you're a fireworks enthusiast who coordinates neighborhood displays or someone who prefers to "shut the windows, turn the music up and wait till it's over," this episode captures the diverse ways Americans celebrate their independence.

What makes us keep watching a show three seasons past its prime? Why do some critically acclaimed series leave us cold while others become personal obsessions? The Powers Point crew tackles these questions and more in this entertaining deep-dive into viewing habits with special guest Mo. The conversation flows naturally from Keith's liquid diet adventures and Jim's buffet experiences to a passionate analysis of Breaking Bad's legacy. When Mo confesses he couldn't finish Better Call Saul despite loving the original series, it sparks a thoughtful examination of how spin-offs often struggle to capture the magic that made their predecessors great. The group contemplates whether Walter White truly died and draws fascinating parallels to other controversial series finales like The Sopranos. Everyone takes turns revealing the popular shows they just couldn't connect with – from Big Bang Theory to Seinfeld – creating a judgment-free space to admit when critical darlings simply don't resonate. These confessions lead to a broader discussion about what makes entertainment personally meaningful versus universally acclaimed. When the topic turns to potential Scarface sequels, the hosts debate whether modern filmmaking techniques could ever recapture the gritty authenticity that defined the original. The episode takes an unexpected nostalgic turn when Keith reveals he's been watching Scott's old wrestling videos on YouTube, leading to hilarious stories from their wrestling days including unexpected table crashes and colorful commentary. Throughout it all, the camaraderie between hosts shines through, making listeners feel like they're simply hanging out with friends discussing their latest streaming obsessions. Whether you're looking for your next binge-worthy recommendation or validation that it's okay to dislike that show everyone else loves, this episode delivers with humor, honesty and the Powers Point promise: everything is on the table except religion and politics. Tune in next week when the crew tackles "What are you playing?" – from board games to video games and everything in between.

Music weaves through our lives, serving as the soundtrack to our memories, moods, and milestone moments. After a longer-than-expected hiatus, we reunite to explore the question that connects every listener: what's playing through your earbuds right now? Jim pulls back the curtain on his recent obsession with Swedish sleaze metal, a genre that's been thriving since the early 2000s as a revival of 80s glam rock. From bands like Hardcore Superstar and Crash Diet to the surprising statistic that Sweden boasts 428 metal bands compared to America's 72, we dive into how musical discovery often follows unexpected pathways. His journey from Japanese hair metal to these Nordic headbangers illustrates how one musical passion can lead to another, creating a personalized roadmap of sonic exploration. Keith takes us on a geographical journey through Chicago's rich musical landscape, sharing stories of intimate Local H shows where he was one of just four audience members, and championing bands like Veruca Salt and Cheap Trick. Meanwhile, Scott reveals how movie soundtracks have become his portal to new artists, with Sean Rowe's gritty vocals from "The Accountant" and SYML's calming compositions providing the perfect counterbalance to workplace stress. We reflect on how music discovery has transformed – from saving up for physical albums to the unlimited buffet of streaming services – while acknowledging that some things never change: the thrill of finding something new, the comfort of returning to favorites, and the joy of sharing these discoveries with others. Whether you're cruising with the windows down or seeking refuge from the summer heat, we invite you to think about what's filling your earbuds right now, and perhaps consider adding some Swedish sleaze metal to the rotation.
