I Love It Here, I Hate It Here

The finale is here! Our final episode. We want to thank you all for your support this last year with this fun endeavour. It allowed us to talk about things each week, as friends, and share that with you, our friends. We also got to interview and speak with some old friends as well. Please enjoy this episode as we wrap up I Love It Here, I Hate It Here. We both wanted to make a podcast and never thought we would make an official episode, let alone FIFTY-TWO. What in the world? Why would...

The penultimate episode is here! Episode 51. For once, Steven is not entirely prepared. The hosts debate a few topics in this episode. Endgame vs. Infinity War. Blond vs. Channel Orange. Steven talks about his undying love for Heath Ledger and The Great Gatsby. Connor has the audacity to speak negatively about Harry Potter and spam phone calls. Only one of those is worth negativity and it is not Harry Potter. Steven talks about the changing colors of the trees in Michigan during a drive on...

50 episodes are you kidding!! Thank you for spending nearly 50 hours of your life with us. Our hosts bring you another fun episode. They begin by talking about HBO’s hit show, Succession. They then dive into the world of Halloween and Steven shares an awkward story from his past. The hosts then provide insight into what is happening to the world of shopping malls and what it is like to have a TV show that you invested so much time into reach its conclusion. Then, they pivot to discussing...

Episode 49 is here! And it is WILD. We talk about male contraception, experimenting on mice, and MORE. No really, they do spend a lot of time talking about mice and male contraception. Steven spent $8.00 to watch SVSU’s homecoming football game as he couldn’t make it in person as he planned, and it was a GREAT investment. Our hosts bond over their disdain for decision-making in horror movies. And Steven cannot fathom that people pay millions of dollars for artwork. This week, Steven wants...

Arguably our best title so far and episode 48 has arrived! And it is masked with tragedy as Steven got a huge ink stain on his comforter. But have no fear (Shakespeare), it was at the end of the episode and we brought you some BRILLIANCE. Connor, for once, brings us down to the depths of despair as he brings up the Pandora Papers. A topic that should be major news on every network but fell victim to those in power not caring nor feeling any desire to act ethically. We also just really love...

Episode 47 has arrived! And it is an interesting one. For some reason, holding the microphones instead of using a mic or desk stand just makes this podcast a lot better, not that it was good in the first place. This week, listen to Connor and Steven draw the parallel between Steven and Edward Cullen. They discuss dating apps and the four years since Steven last downloaded one, all thanks to Connor. Not only that, but they also talk about how painful applying for healthcare is and why Five...

Episode 46 is live! It is with a sad heart to announce that our podcast is coming to an end. Between working full time and school full time, Steven cannot put the time into this that he wants. And Connor has grown exhausted from never preparing for an episode ever. Episode 52 will be our final episode so we can say that we have a year’s worth of weekly content. This has been such a fun experience, making a podcast with my best pal. This is Steven writing these, if you couldn’t tell. I really...

WE ARE BACK!! Episode 45 is here and we are glad to be back. Might be a bit scatterbrained as we get back into the swing of things. Our dear friend Brandon joined us to talk about Blink-182’s Enema of the State! The hosts also talk about where they were the last few days, some life updates, and some other stuff. As Marshawn Lynch once said, sometimes you have to focus on your mentals. The trio also talk about how delicious Southern cuisine is, why flying rules (Steven is still getting...

Welcome to episode 44! This is a more music-oriented episode as we discuss both our recommendations as well as new projects by Kanye West and Drake. Kanye West released Donda over the last few weeks and Drake’s Certified Lover Boy was released last Friday. And let me tell you, our hosts had some thoughts on the music. Additionally, Steven spices things up by talking about how awesome the search function is and Connor talks about how it was to experience the end of Hurricane Ida. The two also...

Episode 43 focuses heavily on the Netflix film series The Kissing Booth. More importantly, they are joined by Steven’s longtime friend, Jena Smith! Jena and Steven watched The Kissing Booth 3 together via a weird web streaming service that Steven found on Google so they could suffer together, virtually. The Kissing Booth is a high school rom com that centers around how people fall in love at a high school kissing booth. It has SCANDALS. It has ROMANCE. It has… DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION. The...

On the 42nd episode of I Love It Here, I Hate It Here, Connor EDITS the episode himself. How did he do? The hosts discuss many things. Including the soon-to-be review of the Kissing Booth trilogy on Netflix! Steven’s friend Jena will join us next week to discuss it. Connor discusses a recent trip to Five Guys and Steven exclaims why Cornhole is a great math tool. Not to be forgotten, Steven says why zoos and nosebleeds suck. This week, Steven recommends listening to Pure Heroine by Lorde and...

41 episodes it took for Connor to lead the episode. 41 long episodes until he decided to be the lead host. And how did he perform? Who has any idea? The hosts are back with an episode that was recorded into the wee hours of Monday night for a Tuesday morning release, so apologies if it seemed rushed. They discuss the negative perception that the city of Detroit has and how it is very wrong. Not only that, but they talk about weddings, favorite dinner meals, and also vacation! But not before...

40 episodes!!!! And a guest! Longtime pal Kayla Garrett joins our fantastic (lol) hosts. After a few postponements due to jobs and moving and such, the three finally connect and talk about nonsense. Omegle, Marvel, and belligerent drunks are all on the menu today. Steven recounts a pleasant conversation he had with a customer service employee for Dockers. And Kayla brings some hot fire with her topics. Kayla and Connor go way back to performing Legally Blonde on stage together in high...

Podcast Pals, episode 39 is HERE! Have you ever wondered what it's like to eat at a Red-Neck Yacht Club? Well, Steven will tell you all about it as he recalls his weekend adventures. He also brings up watching Boogie Nights for the first time. A more detailed review can be found on Wednesday with Completely Unqualified. The hosts also talk about rapper DaBaby's ignorant comments over the last few days and the lasting impact they might have on his career. All the while, Connor is gushing...

Episode 38 time! This episode is full of some fun topics. Connor recalls his first venture into New York City since before COVID. Even better, he went to see some stand-up comedy. Florida Man is at it again, this time even more chaotically. One of America’s greatest pastimes is Keeping Up with Florida Man. Steven shines some light on Jeff Bezos's most recent blunder and why virtual town halls flat-out rule. And why does Kanye West do us dirty each and every album release? Making us feel like...

Hey folks! Episode 37 is here. And we are joined by our best friend Sam Irish!! Sam is coming to us from Seattle, Washington where he works directly for Bill Gates (not really). The hosts discuss all things Olympics as more and more news comes out about how… not great of an idea it is to keep the show going. They also discuss the passing of hip-hop legend Biz Markie before jumping into a few topics surrounding Pokemon Go! Sam truly is one of our favorite people and we hope that you enjoy...

Hey folks! Episode 36 is here. After having one guest lined up, and then another, we bring to you a guest-less episode! Scheduling conflicts happen. The hosts make do by talking about all things that they think are important. Y’know, ticket scalpers, 12-foot missing mall pythons, and Kraft Spirals being the superior Mac n Cheese design. All before Steven complains about people not knowing how to drive. They also recap their weekend which includes the Sims 2 (s/o Kevin), baking soda in the...

Hello folks! Episode 35 is here and ready to be listened to! Steven and Connor talk about all things Fourth of July as it stays a relevant topic throughout the episode. On that note, they also talk about interest rates on certificates of deposit (yawn), when ducks attack in the suburbs (scary), and the most recent court cases involving Bill Cosby and Britney Spears. Disclaimer that neither one of the hosts are yet legal experts. Also importantly, Steven talks about the love he has for...

Episode 34 is FINALLY here. Steven and Connor finally take some time to sit down and talk about the 1986 classic Top Gun. They also discuss not wanting to get a tapeworm and how we hope that all the babies born at the same hospital as us on the same day are thriving. The hosts then discuss the importance of the first openly gay active NFL player and why Connor strongly dislikes coastal elites while residing on one of the coasts in question. This week, Connor recommends Red Earth & Pouring...

Episode 33 is here! Steven and Connor give some thanks to their fathers and also reflect on the first two episodes of Loki before jumping into their top-3 favorite non-Avengers Marvel films. The hosts then discuss their loves and their hates which include things to not do at a Dairy Queen and accidentally purchasing a water tower. Honestly, how do you accidentally sell a whole entire water tower? Connor recommends Summertime by Will Smith and the album Big Willie Style and Steven recommends...
