Send us a Text Message. Michael is getting a van and Max is tired. Let's just be cool about this. No, but for real. We mismanaged our time and didn't set up a backlog of episodes while we're traveling. Big goof on our parts. You don't have to be mean about it. Sorry, we feel bad. Anyways. We'll talk to you in a month. Get in the discord in the mean…

Send us a Text Message. The big topic. The thing everyone has been discussing. The only thing on any of our minds- the Atlanta Braves fall to the Philadelphia Phillies. Unreal. "I feel like an imposter, even in fear" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intheminivan Follow us on instagram: @intheminivanpod Max: @maxfine_ Michael: @michaelrowlando_o Fol…

Send us a Text Message. We had a blast at Let's Fest. So much fun. We stared at traffic. We did standup. We flung mayonnaise and raced cars. Let's be real, Indianapolis is quite the place to wander around. We've done it all here- we've eaten at mean restaurants, we've walked barefoot and kissed a horse. Since we've got our friends around, we bring …

Send us a Text Message. Michael went to a concert and he's got some guff, man. Max defends his choices and the story starts to make sense. Lord of the Rings- who cares! Listen to Michael explain the first song of this episode- he's got a lot to say. Michael spends the majority trying to get Max to like one band and it's just not gonna happen. The b…

Send us a Text Message. The boys went on another podcast this week, and it's Benny Feldman's. We had a nice time and we spent a fair amount of it dissing former guest, current roommate: Adam Gilbert. If you want to know what it's like when the fellas aren't leading the discussion, this is the episode for you. We're leaving it light because we have …

Send us a Text Message. Hot, heavy, and loud men. That's the In the Minivan guarantee- it'll be heavier than it is hot. We got together after the sun went down, and that means it's darker before the dawn. Sure. The Falcons are up, the Braves are up, and we're not guys that play sports very well. Michael went to Boston and saw some family and witche…

Send us a Text Message. We've got Matty Ryan on today, the boys are out. You ever ride down the Pacific Coast Highway in a convertible? Wind in your hair, the ocean to your side, the breeze in your face. All of a sudden, a bird comes in and sits down next you in the passenger seat. You don't know this bird, but he knows you. You stare and make eye …

Send us a Text Message. We came to bark, you came to bite. Well, we're all here now. We had our good friend, Kenny DeForest on to talk about car thievery and his new special, but mostly car thievery. If you're stealing a car, you better tow it. If you're towing a car, well that might as well be theft. We're staying on the couch and making ourselves…

Send us a Text Message. Coming in hard and hot against the spooky king of September, Danny Elfman. We agree, you make great music, Danny, but put on a shirt! Sales? Funnels? What's your pipeline like? Your numbers? They suck! Boost your numbers and upsell a kid a t-shirt. We examine some of today's hot topics, including but not limited to: how woul…

Send us a Text Message. The podcast gets regal. We've asked our friend, Bobby Condon, to spend the afternoon in our home. Within 120 seconds, we establish where the smut gets watched and it's too much too fast. This episode is so damn loud. We're answering big questions today- gin vs. vodka, who wins? No one! Everybody's hammered. For a few minutes…

Send us a Text Message. Well well well, look who it is. It's you. We knew you'd be here. If we didn't, we wouldn't acknowledge your presence. Get outta here! The gentle boys went on separate trips, Michael to Minneapolis, Max to a cabin in the woods. One thing is for sure, boys will be boys and men will cook for you. We revisit our cold opens and b…

Send us a Text Message. Another Tuesday. Can you smell what the boys are cooking? It's meat, we're cooking meat. Shaunak Godkhindi joins the boys today to talk about what's good in life: engagements and fake accents. Michael makes a promise regarding a fart that he actually keeps. The boys discover how diamonds are made- have y'all made a rock befo…

Send us a Text Message. Our friend Nick is here (he's done heroin). We're off and sprinting, call us marathon runners. I gotta be fully honest. When we started this podcast, there was no long term goal to get into Phish, this just kind of happened. It sucks. I had a long life planned with joy, yachts, laughter, sex, and stocks. I could've been anyt…

Send us a Text Message. Our friend Ran is here (beep beep). Ran is a comedian from Cincinnati, Max loves Cincinnati. Ran becomes Michael Squints Polydorous (that's Greek for "A Sandlot character). We're operating blobs- you got a boyfriend? This episode is a jam bag of fun, and a little bit of cess. The open mic video game. Max got dumped again (ca…

Send us a Text Message. Let's address this right off the rip, Michael has a black eye. It's noticeable, but it insinuates that he is a big strong man (he's our big strong boy). Wanna see it in person? Go to The Earl tomorrow in Atlanta and watch people. We're looking for pools, will you please swim with us? Are you someone's lord and savior? Well, …

Send us a Text Message. We're "kicking it old school." That means we're freewheeling, tooting, and dammit, we're cooking. It's Summer time and the living is sweaty. How do we know? Well the damn shirts are off! Shirts are still for sale (and we want to sell them). Let's talk broken glass- stop wasting glass! You better believe that if we're in Coco…

Send us a Text Message. We've got t-shirts! Shoot us a message on instagram and we'll get you a sweet sweet shirt (designed to be worn in the pool and to sop up blood). We got tired of talking at each other about what makes us happy (Max: candy, Michael: supplements), so we brought on another guest. Lock the doors, we have known thrill seeker, Kevi…

Send us a Text Message. Hey, Max here. If you're in Brooklyn this Saturday, I'm recording an album. If you want to come, tickets are here. We're going shirtless. Not that you care. It's not like we've spent a year working on our Summer bods. Tattoo talk (if we get 250 Patreon subscribers this month, Michael will get a tattoo (we currently have way …

Send us a Text Message. We're so tired. I'm sorry. So tired. We play a game and realize Michael doesn't know last names. Jesus Christ, the sleep is not coming fast enough. Max is recording an album at The Gutter on June 24th. Michael is headlining the Earl in Atlanta. Big news at the end, but don't take our word for it- because we can't give it awa…

Send us a Text Message. We open on a gentler time. Discussions of therapy and athleticism, we have neither. Boy, we really don't have a handle on therapy and how it works. Embarrassing. Uncouth. A brief, unauthorized, and unabridged history of Scientology. True Grit? Fake sand, that's what I say. The boys talk shit about just about everything they …

Send us a Text Message. We're getting the band back together. If the band was a podcast episode, this is the band, and it's been brought back, again. This one flies off the rails really fast and it doesn't really come back. We're derailed, call the president. Actually, if you have a line to the president, we'd like to speak to him. We don't have an…

Send us a Text Message. Content Warning: We talk about cancer... a lot We hear you, you want us to talk to scientists, you want us to speak with intellectuals, you're dying for discourse between scholars. Well, here's our friend Terence Hartnett. We won't spoil much, because this episode slaps, but Terence has/had cancer and is making a documentary…

Send us a Text Message. Another day, another guest- welcome to car, Mandal! Up top, down low, Michael will step on Max's riff. Make no bones about it, the riff is squashed. Mandal takes on NYC. Like a baby that's been blown up by his honey, directions don't make sense. Every single step needs to be watched, every single person is an enemy. Drinking…

Send us a Text Message. Alright, let's cut to the chase. I don't think we're going to learn Spanish but I can guarantee we're going to make a mess. Michael gets into his flow state and that means we're talking tears. Riding bikes and earning likes, the most uphill battle. New money, old problems, big bellies. We're going for money now. Dirty, hairy…

Send us a Text Message. The bus is rolling and guess who's under it? The boys welcome Brennan Tasseff to the pod and if you wanted to hear three dudes revert to sounding southern, this may be the last podcast you need to listen to. We spent an inordinate amount of time learning one undeniable truth: Michael is the only one that knows how to operate…

Send us a Text Message. Tension could not be higher. We recorded a full episode and it was everything you'd want from an episode: plump, young, firm, and sexy as hell. Unfortunately, we lost that beautiful piece of meat and now, this is the cut we're serving. Shirts are officially for sale (great for sopping up blood). Flow states, drip drip dreams…

Send us a Text Message. As always, when a friend comes to town, we come to talk to business. And no one knows numbers quite like Mike Carrozza. Two Mikes? That's too many. If one thing ties us all together, it's Jersey City (the sixth borough). We have t-shirts now if you want one (I bet you do). If it isn't abundantly clear we're dudes in our 30s,…

Send us a Text Message. Our friend is here. That's right, folks, when friends are in town, they're in our hearts. And when they're in our hearts, they're in our homes. And when they're in our homes, we're making a podcast- friendship is nothing if not business first and foremost. Our friend Evan Rollins comes to New York for the first time and sees…

Send us a Text Message. The boys go to heaven! The Nespresso has been replaced and the caffeine is... HOT! Michael is on one in this episode- the kid goes full throttle. Insecurities are like gasoline, let them fuel your success. Group chat etiquette, keep your legs about you or take a seat. Max briefly tries to explain the history of emo music and…

Send us a Text Message. The boys are back in town (but not at Dino's). In what will come as a surprise to no one, Michael is reading a new book about another strong man: Andre Agassi. Taste the scalp. For what it's worth, I (Max) truly believe I could defeat Mr. Agassi in a test of tennis. That's right, Andre, you don't scare me. You're just a guy …

Send us a Text Message. We did it. We've made it a whole year. That's actually more than a decade of hits. The feeling is mutual- don't spill your drink. We're making resolutions and you're not gonna like 'em. Want to learn another language? Why not try Latin, you can drink while you speak it. Through the power of friendly conversation, the boys pi…

Send us a Text Message. The word of the day is "distinguish." It's Oscar's season. If you see Oscar, let him know he still owes me $20 all season! Live in the past, live in the future, I don't really care where you live, but do it elsewhere. You can't live in the closet in my guest room anymore. I'm sorry, I just don't have the room. I know you sai…

Send us a Text Message. The word of the day is poppers. We jump right into it today. Loose- quick draw (this town is only big enough for the two of us). The fellas both have bad backs and Max kicked a guy. Big oopsies today. Holy moly, can you smell that? That's the scent of a man about to reveal a secret. Michael finally reveals the meaning behind…

Send us a Text Message. It's the 50th episode. That's right, folks, 50. Half of 100. In simplified math, that is still 50 over 1. Cannonball! The water is deep and so is the well of Michael's vocabulary. Corkscrew! Here comes the Creepy Man (imagine the Boogeyman if conceptualized by a man that fully believes in the power of farts and their medicin…

Send us a Text Message. The premier: Michael is now a bonafide television personality. Move over, Mr. Seacrest, there's another TV star from Atlanta and his name rhymes with Poland (Eastern Europe. Topical). Take a front seat in neurosis of a man who was recently shirtless in front of a few million people. If you're not in a hotel, you're not havin…

Send us a Text Message. Pressure is the essence of diamonds and we are 14 karats, baby. Against all odds, we found a time to record an episode together in person (7 hours before this is released). Michael gets a glow up for the premiere of his show, Animal Control (this Thursday on Fox). Max went to Minneapolis- the hecklers were plenty and the gam…

Send us a Text Message. He's back! The boy king of acting, Michael Rowland (we're all very proud of Michael, send him flowers) returns to New York! This episode is a single A double S Cl(ass)ic! The guys spend a few minutes talking about what they plan to do for you, new music, new cameras, new options- but we're not there yet. Insecurities come to…

Send us a Text Message. Happy light, happy wife, happy strife. This is my plight. Welcome to the newly optimized In the Minivan, we're streamlining the process of podcasting for efficiency. This is our year to be fruitful, thoughtful, and bellyful (that's full of food for the layman). We had a whale of a time. Strong Mike is back to Sandman his way…

Send us a Text Message. The cigarette pact. If you're in NYC- put out the butt! If you're outside of NYC, you are legally obligated to get emphysema. Preach. We hope you're having a nice time, are you letting your light shine? Are you letting your candle burn? Is your refrigerator running? Alright, but for real. The guys talk about showtime- how do…

Send us a Text Message. After a glorious two weeks of being together, the boys are back to trying to record remotely. The magic lives on in our hearts and in your minds, don't let that spirit die. Max drove back from the Poconos and is both sick and tired. Let's slog, baby! Some light casino talk, bring in the big bucks, baby! Michael got a happy l…

Send us a Text Message. The boys went to see Phish. We are known for being two guys that really like to have fun, but seeing Phish was more than fun, it was transformative (for Max (yeah, he's one of those guys now (sorry))). Welcome to the Minivan, Dale Cheesman- our resident Phisherman. The boys recount their concert, and we'll say it off the rip…

Send us a Text Message. We're back and we've invited the roommate king, Adam Gilbert. The boys are here to riff and there's barely enough time for play. The fellas do some food fighting before going to the bank. Welcome to The Poopies: Awards for Bathrooms. Got a half chicken? Got ribs? You're invited to New Years. Adam tells the boys about fungus …

Send us a Text Message. Merry Christmas from the boys. Max is in Atlanta, Michael is in Detroit and you can be anywhere in the world! Michael explains his idea of salad (spoiler, it's barely a side). Max showcases some local chips and soda (spoiler, they kick ass). This is a shorty episode because Max has to go empty himself on an airplane. We hope…

Send us a Text Message. Right off the rip, not even 10 seconds in, Michael poorly impersonates the Dutch. Embarrassing. We spend all of 30 seconds writing the latest Hangover sequel, and you won't believe this- it sucks! Max coaxes Michael into saying Borat (he says it so weird (mission accomplished, baby (George W. Bush)). The fellas discuss the b…

Send us a Text Message. It's a race against time. It's 1:16am. We're nothing if not consistent. Every week we manage to make this happen. Truly a miracle of modern technology- neither of us understood what a computer was for until we were 14. And now, we're pirates of the eighth largest sea: the virtual one. Come sail away. It's now 1:20am. I am so…

Send us a Text Message. Welcome to December, there's reason to believe that this year will be wetter than the last. Gripes with wrapped. Stay vigilant, folks, Spotify will top your tops. The boys discuss the big topics: journaling, art, and scam jobs. You can fight your friends, you can fight your parents, but make sure you also fight your old boss…

Send us a Text Message. An entire continent can't stop us anymore. Hear two idiots revel in the excitement of having working internet. Forget the island, Michael is on McConaughey time- that's a greenlight. We have zeroed in on our niche, we know what we like and what you hopefully want. We're talking Hill- the Jonah kind. Confronting your mom, whe…

Send us a Text Message. We recorded an episode this week, but it really came out bad. Like we couldn't figure out how to fix it. It's a shame because we touched on all the topics: politics, scandal, how to build an atomic bomb (with detailed instructions)- you would have loved it. But alas, the internet wasn't strong enough to sustain our microphon…

Send us a Text Message. We're still remote and let me tell you, we're figuring it out. We're trying. We're really trying. We actually recorded this episode twice. Once wasn't enough (it sounded bad). Michael is switching apartments, Max is opening doors. We're both opening up. EZ Park can eat out whole butt, collectively, together, and all at once.…

Send us a Text Message. We're trying. We're on the fly. We're recording this remotely for the first time. Thanks for being here, team. Michael is filming a dang TV show (television, you've heard of it) and travelled all the way to Vancouver (that's Canada). Shout out to our new favorite airline, French Bee, you really made Max's dreams come true th…
