It took until episode 23 before we got someone with an album to promote. For this episode, we are joined by Jack and Valerie. Jack and Mason are coworkers and can joke around about basically anything at work. Valerie is Jack's girlfriend and is the star of this episode. Both Jack and Valerie are very easy to talk to and quite funny if I do say so myself.
For those looking to check out Jack's band, they are called "Oh Geeez" and their music is available pretty much anywhere you can get music from.
Our guest this week is Dallas. Dallas has been a good friend of Mason and Lindsay's since college. Not only does Dallas have a lot of swag, but he is also very athletic and kind. The only time Dallas is not kind is when he blatantly lies about the quality of guacamole that Mason makes. It is disappointing that Dallas would spread such falsehoods about Mason's guacamole.... Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe Dallas isn't so kind.
This week, we interview Brett Favre lovin', Burger King hatin' Josh and his wife Rachel. Mason has known Josh since they were little as they lived on the same street growing up. Josh and Rachel are a very fun couple to be around as they are always seeming to have a good time. Josh is the self proclaimed number 1 fan of Friendly Interviews and has coined the term "Friendliers" as the loyal fan group of Friendly Interviews (They meet on Sundays at 6am at an undisclosed location, turnout isn't great).
Starting off Season 2 right with Troy and Courtney. Troy is Mason's brother and Courtney is Troy's girlfriend. Troy and Courtney are both quick witted people who are a lot of fun to be around. Many different topics are covered in this episode from what is your favorite chip to who are you picking first on your imaginary basketball team. Friendly Interviews is back with a new logo and new intro song for season 2 so buckle up!
Our friends Travis and Ally join us for Episode 18 of Friendly Interviews. Travis and Mason have known each other since they were little while Lindsay and Ally are new friends. Known around southern Wisconsin as "Milwaukee's It Couple" Travis and Ally are just a blast to be around. In this episode, Travis explains why grass would enjoy getting cut, Ally talks about a mysterious man who ate all their Halloween candy, Lindsay brings up people's pet peeves and Mason questions the friendship between tables and chairs.

Friendly Interviews number 1 fan, Mitch, joins the podcast! Mitch also just so happens to be Lindsay's dad and he has listened to every Friendly Interviews episode in preparation. Questions like "What's your favorite childhood memory of Lindsay" and "Who's your favorite daughter" don't even phase our most prepared guest, as he answers them all in stride. Lindsay and Mitch reminisce over Lindsay's old college walkout song while Mason dreams aloud of a scenario in which him and Mitch warn people of the dangers of Loch Ness.

This week we welcome Petey and Lauren to the podcast. Petey is one of Mason's friends from high school and Lauren is his fiancé. One interesting thing to note is that Petey is Kailee's brother (episode 15). As Lindsay points out, Petey and Lauren are a very fun couple to hang out with. During this episode, we find out more information about some countries that don't exist. Petey talks about a children's book that he may or may not be writing that is close to his heart. Lauren displays her distaste for slugs while showing some compassion for ants and bees. Lindsay asks some of her usual questions while Mason explains why it would be better to be the toilet than the toilet paper.

Mason's friend Peter joins us for Episode 14 of Friendly Interviews. Peter is Mason's co-worker and also a much better person than Mason. Peter displays some of his superior mind while Lindsay and Mason awkwardly fumble around for about an hour straight. Everyone in this interview agrees that the service received from a certain internet provider is substandard to say the least. Lindsay wastes no time in asking Mason's co-worker his feeling about the pros and cons of having a ball sack. Peter helps Mason figure out what soccer team he should be a fan of. Go Arsenal!

Jasmine and Fabian join us for episode 13. Lindsay unloads a couple of her most wildly inappropriate questions she's ever thought of. Mason talks about a couple theories he has about the world. Jasmine and Fabian discuss their shared cooking duties while Lindsay poorly explains her and Mason's cooking arrangement. A traumatic experience from Mason's past in college rears its ugly head and causes Fabian to then talk about his own similar experiences. Seriously though, mom, skip over Lindsay's inappropriate questions.

Episode 12 is a special episode, it is our first themed episode. In honor of March Madness, we brought in the best college basketball expert we could find, our friend Dan. Dan breaks down some of the most important matchup in the 2021 NCAA men's basketball tournament. However, the majority of the episode ends up not being directly related to teams playing. Lindsay and Mason address some very interesting fan mail that was submitted via email. Lindsay and Dan go back and forth on their reasoning behind which teams they think will make a run this year. Lindsay learns what basketball conferences are while Mason learns what posh stands for. Spoiler: Dan picks Wisconsin to lose in the 1st round despite being a Wisconsin alumni, should we question his allegiance? You tell me.
Our friend, Will, joins us on Friendly Interviews for episode 11. Will is a known liar who spends most of his interview trying to slander Mason's guacamole making skills. Lindsay fails to come to Mason's defense as Will spreads baseless lies about Mason making guacamole with a lack of flavor. Will and Lindsay fantasize about what Mason and Lindsay's future kid will look and act like. Did I mention that Mason makes pretty good guacamole?
Ashley, Josh and their daughter, Tinley join this week's podcast to talk about any topic from sub shops to punk rock bands.

Kristi brings her positive energy and bubbly personality to this week's episode. Lindsay brags about her attempted steal of Whitney's friends.

Mondays and Tuesdays need to keep their heads on a swivel, while Saturday has the potential to be the perfect spouse. Kraig Fleen needs to be stopped.
This week we welcome our friend Elijah to the Podcast. Elijah explains why Mason has been blocked on Snapchat for all this time before then promoting his new food Instagram. Mason talks about a few different embarrassing moments from elementary school while Lindsay talks about the last time she went to the airport.
Our friends Brook and Daulton join us for episode 6 of Friendly Interviews. Daulton is a catcher/outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks as well as Brook's fiancé. Brook tells how Daulton popped the question while giving a tribute to Brook's mom. Daulton makes fun of Mason's lack of tan. Lindsay fantasizes about being a bee in the Jerry Seinfeld movie, Bee Movie. Mason spends and awkward amount of time impersonating Pokémon. Go Diamondbacks!
Lindsay's older sister, Andrea and her boyfriend, Marty join the podcast to chat about anything from apples to musical instruments. Marty brings along the new intro song for Friendly Interviews that he created. Andrea flexes her Nicholas Cage knowledge muscles while Marty shows Lindsay and Mason a few audio tricks. No second graders were injured during the making of this podcast. RIP Dinosaurs

Ben describes growing up with Mason in a way only Ben can. Lindsay proposes an extremely inappropriate would you rather scenario. RIP Mufasa
We interview Mason's friend and former college roommate, Tyler. Tyler consumes more candy than the rest of the state of Wisconsin combined (may have gotten that fact mixed up). If you are looking for inside info on the Oakland Athletics organization, look someplace else because we didn't bother asking. We propose our first fan poll to be completed via Twitter. RIP Ringo
*Editor's note: This interview was conducted on the Saturday before the Packers' conference championship game against the Buccaneers. All talk about that game was removed from the interview for obvious reasons.....
Our friend Liz joins us as we talk about topics ranging from the movie Titanic to Lindsay's job performance. We also explore the possibility that Liz may actually be a famous bank robber. Please do not drink and drive. RIP Alex Trebek.
