Happy New Year's Eve. We have a very special episode today. I am joined in studio by two of my favorite guys. I'm joined by Will Hudson. He edits all of our short form video. He is a rockstar.
Was our first employee of Get Indiana back when he was just a lowly sophomore at Purdue. And I'm joined by Robert Porter. He has been editing our full podcast since almost the beginning. He has been putting out uh an incredible amount of work into [music] our long form shows. If you are an avid listener to the podcast, you are an avid fan of Robbiey's work. Does great stuff.
And today we're going to dive into our favorite moments from 2025. Moments that made our head spin. Moments that just we couldn't believe. They were surreal. We're going to talk about our favorite podcast guests. We're going to make some predictions for 2026.
And if you listen to the end, we're going to reveal our master plan, our conquest that we're going on in 2026. It's going to be a great episode. Let's get into it, boys. Welcome to the show.
Thank you for having us. We're wrapping up 2025. Uh, all in all, give me uh give me a brief summary of your your 2025s. How do you feel like they went? What were some just a highlevel highlights?
This was definitely the craziest year I would say that in terms of like videos. So, not only do I um edit the short form videos, but I also shoot them. So, whenever we go like on site to film, um I shoot a lot of it. Robert obviously and Shane do a lot of it when I'm at school. But this summer was pretty crazy.
Went down south.
Yeah, that was crazy. The uh the I'd never taken trips like that before when we went on our work trips down to Jasper area.
Yeah, we did Dubo County. We did Crawford County. We did the Caves.
But my most the most fun I think was when we went to French Lake. [laughter] We went to
So Will got to celebrate his 21st birthday at the French Lick Casino and ended up coming out on top with some green. Actually, we all came out of
everyone. We took four.
What was that lady's name that helped us?
Mary. It was Mary.
Mary.
Mary the dealer.
Yeah, she pretty much.
Mary quite contrary, baby. Uh, I love it. Yeah, it was a fun year. We were rocking and rolling. Will, I want to know what was what video, regardless of views, was your favorite to put together?
I always love the St. Elmo like Hughes culinary videos. Those are so much fun. Um, the one that I always site when people ask me, it was always my first one. I don't know why, but that was
You never forget your first.
Yeah. The um the HC Tavern video when we stayed in there for 4 hours and we had to eat shrimp cocktail to knock off hours.
Isn't that crazy that that was last that was this year? Yeah,
we did that this year in January.
So, for people that didn't follow along on Instagram, can you explain the concept of the video?
Yeah. So, it was um a fantasy football punishment. So, it was like right it was like Februaryish, maybe late January. And Nate's punishment cuz he got last in his league or whatever was that he had to sit at the HC Tavern up on 116th Street and eat sit there for 12 hours. But the catch was every single shrimp cocktail he ate took an hour off his time that we had to be there. So we got there we were going to stay from 11 to 11. Yes.
11 to 11. And we ended up I ate maybe seven or six and 1/2 shrimp cocktails and you ate one and a half. My [clears throat] mouth was on fire. I would have rather
if they would have said, "You can be done if you run a marathon right now." I would have laced up my shoes and ran a marathon. Yeah.
My taste buds. It took multiple days to get them back. And I love Somalo Shrimp cocktail. But that was one I where I signed up and and [snorts] I got
maybe after the fourth order of it, I was just like my mouth will never recover. It was hard. Okay. So that was your favorite. That's a wild one. Okay. Robert, what was your favorite podcast to put together?
Okay. I'm going to start short form. the Daniel Jones edit out there.
Oh, Robert does. Yeah, Robert did do
I did do a couple short form stuff, but the Daniel Jones edit because I'm a Giants fan and I thought that video was gonna pop off, but um that's probably my favorite one because I threw in some some Daniel Jones highlights, you know, everyone wrote them off and
and I mean he did a great job for the Colts. I will say uh sometimes
loving the videos like it doesn't always come down to views. Like, you know, you always you want to go viral, but sometimes just making something that you're proud of is fun. Like we put out a lot of content and it's always the ones where I'm like, "Yeah, I don't know. That one's not that bad." And it blows up. And then the ones where I'm like, "We put hours and hours and shots and edits and retakes and everything and then you put it out there and the internet does not love it." It's almost like they know how much editing time goes into it.
It's almost like they know how much you care and it's like an inverse correlation.
Okay. What about podcast, Robert? What was your favorite podcast?
Okay. So, this is going to be a hot take and I've said this a lot around the office. The Grind Coffee Pouches. Oh,
unreal story. Like I feel like that podcast flies under radar. We've had like say we've had like all these crazy people on
but the grinds coffee one because they talk about going on Shark Tank and I watch Shark Tank with my dad sometimes. It's like they were talking they sit there for five minutes and like the sharks just like watch them like you don't see that on the TV. And I guess I come from like a media production background in college and it's like there's so much random stuff that like you don't know about these TV shows and that was just kind of crazy and the whole story of like how they even came up with it. I got grinds in the office. I take one pretty much every other day. I feel like that
the coffee
another one that didn't like go super crazy but like still one of the coolest podcasts that we have.
A recent one we put out that was really fun. I really like the Christian Anderson podcast.
Oh yeah. because it has nothing to do he is a tech guy venture capitalist but we talk maybe I don't know a fourth of the time about that and then three4s of the time all about how would how you would be uh how you would work as the chief marketing officer of the city of Indianapolis and I just thought that was really fun to get people that are experts in whatever their field are but to then take their knowledge and apply it to our state or our city thought that was really fun
very convincing guy too like
I mean he makes you want to run to a brick wall.
He could sell eyes to an Eskimo man for sure.
Uh I'm thinking of like other ones that were like pretty wild.
Will Schuler
I mean Will Schuler is like an iconic one. Scotty's Brew House is iconic. Like that's great. Those were this year. Those were like at the beginning of the year.
That Scotty's Brew House one.
The Scotty's Brew House one went viral on Reddit. Like that was that's still for everyone out there listening. That's our biggest podcast. I'm from Ball State and I never knew the correlation of roots is Scotty's like new restaurant that he has now. So that was like even
for anybody out there that went a lot that was a good
uh I would be curious if you have been an avid listener of the podcast and you want to be you want to contribute to what we're doing in 2026, drop us a DM or an email or a comment nate.com and let us know what kind of guests, what kind of shows. I also really liked some of the Friday episodes that we did where we just talk about current events and things going on like when we dove into the new Indianapolis casino. I don't know being able to talk about relevant recent news and what's going on I think is fun.
Or even like the short form or like the short virtual podcasts like those are kind of their own
I I think that it's so hard like there you can get cool guests but virtually it's hard to create like a really good experience. It's the same vibe the and environment
but like the content that's in it like the writer of Rudy and Hoosiers.
Yeah, that one.
That's what I like I don't care if it was virtual. That's still sick.
Yeah, that was pretty cool. Yeah. Okay. When you look into when you're looking into 2026, are there who's on your guys' radar that you're like, man, I hope we can nail down XYZ person as a guest.
Daniel Jones.
Yep. [snorts]
Tyrese Halburn.
Those would be those would be insane.
Will Whistland Diesel, this is my official call. Yes.
If you're ever back up in Marshall County,
he's an art. I mean,
why don't you boogie on down to Marion and then
So, would we say that me and Whistland Diesel are the two largest creators to come?
Marshall County, I would say. So,
TBD on who you think the number one is. Uh, yeah. Cody,
I would say so. Cody. Cody Deweiler. I think that's how you say it. I'm pretty sure.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Argus guy. Did he graduate from Argus High School?
No idea. We got to find that out because Argus has like 37 kids uh uh graduating class.
Shout out Dragons.
What's the craziest thing you learned about Indiana this year working at Get Indiana?
All the stuff with French Lake in like the entire history of like what the West Bum.
Yeah.
Like what that all was?
I mean it was a university. It was the largest freestanding dome in the world until they created the Hoosier Dome or the sorry the Houston Astrodome
and then like actually being there for the first time and then like is wild. Uh,
on top of like making money at the casino,
I really liked the Vincen small town breakdown because I think it's really cool learning about the history of Indiana's first capital.
Yeah, Vincen's I
in the first capital of the Indiana territory.
Yeah, Fort Sackville.
Yeah, that's pretty that was pretty cool to me.
People forget uh that that was o after the revolution. It was occupied by British soldiers and there was like a whole back and forth there claiming this territory.
Yeah, that's it's pretty wild.
I'm a big American like colonial period [laughter] fan. So,
another one, Sweetwater. Tying back to the podcast. Also, I knew Sweetwater was big, but I didn't realize
how insane the history and everything about Sweetwater is.
Yeah, we've had some pretty insane guests sit in those chairs.
Yeah,
obviously none better than you two right here. [laughter]
But it's just so sick like the whole history and then he's pouring in like so much money for kids to
get music lessons. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like that's just
that is a part. It's almost like I need to we need to take like this whole like everything that we've learned and like put it into like AI or something. So like I cuz I always forget too. I'm like, "Oh yeah, I do know about that. Oh yeah, we do know about Sweetwater. We do know about Evansville. We do know about XYZ thing." Like you guys didn't go on the Evansville trip, but it was sick too.
Yeah.
Fall festival. Good time.
The nut club. I'll be there.
Okay, wait. Here's here's a question for you guys. Was there a moment this year working at Get Indiana where you were just like, "How is this a job?"
When I thought that was when we were in Bloomington with Miles Teller. And then the second time was when we were co when we were on the court at a fever game and you were doing the Sen Mushroom cocktail eating challenge.
That one was pretty cool.
And I forgot to turn on the audio so we [laughter] had to dub the whole thing over.
What you guys see out there, there's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes [laughter] these guys bring to life. There's a lot of just figuring it out. That's one fun part about building a company like this is there's no blueprint.
Like we're really figuring it out as we go. And we're learning from the biggest creators. We're learning from smaller creators. And you're always learning, testing, iterating. And then we're learning from the audience of like what you guys like, what you want to see, and how we can improve the content to make it better.
The closest thing we have is bar stool.
It's similar like the distribution model, not the content style. I want like like we're not we don't make frat bar stool content but like personalities and social media and growing a business. It's like morning brew the hustle like there's a few different
those are much better comparisons.
Yeah. But bar stool is I do say that a lot where it's like
that's how you pitched it to me.
Yeah. The delivery style is like bar stool, you know, it's like a modern media company.
Um and it's all around like getting people like like garnering attention on the internet.
Yeah. which is a skill I would say. Being able to retain like get get attention on the internet is very very hard and it continues to get harder every year.
Robert, you didn't answer the question.
This is actually before I was working full-time. It was like a week before the Indy500 [clears throat]
cuz I get there and I was editing your podcast for like what was that like a year at that point, six months. And then I show up technically day one full-time
and we just got like a huge tailgate and then I'm like I can't even get a word in with my boss because there's like so many people coming up to him like at every second of this tailgate I'm like all right this is what this is what
this is what it is and it was just like this is crazy like
and on the third spin we give out two grand
and there's just random people that are just coming up and like it was wild. I was with I was with George at the gym this morning and he he was like we were talking we were just like talking shop and he was [laughter] like um he was like you know what you guys should do you guys should create a big wheel where you give out two grand and then give it to the third person that spins the wheel.
Thanks George. Appreciate you brother. [laughter] Yeah that was I mean that was a wild time
like getting 400 plus people I don't know a thousand people probably came through. I don't even know. It was so many people.
You were switching shirts with random people.
I was I wore them. People forget we didn't even make an edit of that. Okay, this is
by we. Yeah, that's because I didn't.
You know what's You know what's crazy is that we have so much content recorded that never sees the light of day. For the listeners out there, if we go on a trip to make a like we're making a 90 second reel about XYZ restaurant or XYZ thing, we record 50 60
uh Yeah.
If it's on site, it's probably 45 minutes of recorded time that then Will has to go through and chop down to 90 seconds.
Yeah. Yeah. And it has to be entertaining 90 seconds that keeps people engaged and involved in watching. And it's pretty nuts.
The RWB festival was the most difficult video I've made because I and I like I like I like remember going into the shared album and seeing 435 videos and I was like, "Oh my
Each one's like 7 seconds long."
Yeah.
No, each one some of them were like a minute long.
Some dude some of them were like 20 minutes long and I was like this.
And we had the Cuz we had the Meta Ray-B bands rolling too. But we had every like sometimes you get so much footage that it's
it's hard to find the creative direction to put one together.
Yeah, that was what I was going to say is especially because all the footage was good because RWB was entertaining the whole time. Like every time the cameras were on like something cool was happening and it was such a fun festival that like it was so difficult to pinpoint like well this is good but this is also good. It's like how do I fit this into 90 seconds?
Yeah. I'd be curious to know from the audience too. Again this is a lot of feedback that we're asking for but what were your favorite short forms? What were your favorite podcasts? Like let us know. uh styles. We tried a lot of different things this year. Like sometimes we'll just get in front of the camera and start ripping about high school mascots or counties like whatever it might be there or it's produced a little bit more and we're, you know, scripting it and putting more effort into it or researching or doing all those things. So, we'd love to know what you guys liked. Um what was So, Will said the hardest thing putting that video together. Robert, what was the hardest part of your job? This is Robert's first ever job. Like, this is his first professional career. I've had m I've had other like [laughter] jobs.
Not not careers.
Not careers like Yeah. Yeah. First full-time job. Maybe this is just how my brain works as a creator or like editor, but it's like
you can always change like the podcast. So like I just always am trying to find ways to iterate because if you look at the podcast from a year ago to what it is now, drastically different on terms of production quality and all that stuff. like we just did the whole studio like was that a month ago maybe two months ago?
Yeah, six weeks.
So, it's like finding ways to continually improve and and we've been up and to the right on um the growth of it. So, it's just that's the tough part is like how do you find something that just very minutely
grow like get literally get 1% better. Like when he was talking about that, we did sound treatment in the studio so that the audio quality should be getting better. We went through and put all these shelves and stuff in and now we need to get more merch and we need to hang stuff up on the walls and yeah, like finalize that a little bit.
Prime example, we hung up all these sound panels and tried two different methods to get them up and they wouldn't work and it worked on the third method and it was just like
like three different Yeah, it was the third round of adhesive.
I remember that. I remember that. That was an office debacle.
Yeah. Um like there's just so many things that we're figuring out as we go. Uh, and it's been really fun to build with you guys. I think that that's the the fun part of a modern business is like,
you know, there's no playbook to this. It's we get to figure it out on the fly and rock and roll. As we look forward to 2026, what predictions for the state of Indiana do you have?
It's going to start being on people's radars even more than it was this year. Our sports may not be like
like I mean tomorrow IU plays Alabama, so we'll find out if it's going to be the year for the Hooers. So yeah, but I do think that from other perspectives like opportunity. What did we talk about earlier today? We are number 18th in opportunity or something like that
should be top five. That's
that's I think that next year it's we're going to jump up to like top 10 like in the top 10 at least cuz I just think that there's a lot going on and people are investing into it. I mean
yeah I can't tell you how many podcasts it's been like we moved our company from California to Indiana.
Yeah. actually probably been like six of them.
Yeah. Namely, Lucas Oil. That's a pretty big one. I
Lucas Oil, Grinds, uh Nick Giuliani.
Yeah.
Lots of them.
Yeah.
I think that I've felt it. Like again, it could be, you know, like recency bias because this with the work that we do, but it does feel like more people are talking about Indiana as a whole right now. Uh what was your biggest surprise of 2025?
I did not think the Colts were going to be good.
Dude, that was I was I was going to say the same I mean, we we're talking a little bit early because they still might not make the playoffs,
but like I thought they were going to win like
Yeah. be tragic.
Yeah. I'm really happy about Daniel Jones and what he did for for us so far.
I caught it. I
Robert, everyone doubted
every single day. I was like, Daniel Jones,
he's going to he's going to
it's going to be him.
He was.
I'm impressed, too, with a lot of like the developments, you know, like the new hotel going downtown. And I don't know, it just seems like there's some energy and some life around the state of Indiana, potentially a new casino. Uh the other piece obviously that got people, but like love them or hate them, the data center stuff where it's like Amazon, Facebook, Google, like these places are investing in Indiana. Um which is interesting. I don't know if that's good or bad. Like we haven't done our journalistic due diligence on stuff like that. But anytime that you know major globally known companies are investing into your state, I think that has to be
it's not all bad a good sign.
I thought it was interesting. They talk about on the podcast a lot is um like learning about like Sheridan and Lebanon and like all these towns like just outside of the parts of the state like right outside Hamilton County, right? like they're gonna start booming a little bit. Yeah.
And uh what's the one next to Avon?
Danville.
Danville.
Who was it at the very beginning of the year that said that like either Cicero or Cooko was going to be the
Oh, that was Mark Julene from JC Hart.
That's what I thought.
And then it was uh Clint from Estridge also talked about it's just going to keep going up the US 31 north corridor. Yeah,
I think that I mean housing and stuff
and then Fortville, McCordsville, Pat McAfee show is based in McCordsville.
Hancock County, baby.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that there is a lot of new fun [snorts] developments coming out and I feel like we're just happen to be just inserted in the middle of a lot of growth in the state of Indiana, which is fun. Speaking of growth, it is time for us to reveal what we're doing [clears throat] in 2026.
So, we've been really workshopping this. If you think back of of where our moments of virality [snorts] and biggest growth all comes around these epic quests that we go on, first one two years ago started with the Indie 500. From there we did when I ran the full moan on went from there it went to oh learning every high school mascot or no learning every county seat high school mascot like those things just anytime we go on these epic quests people seem to love it. And then after that it was
best small town in Indiana.
Yep.
Oh no. And it was live streaming Geogert to
which actually did pretty well.
Yeah. You know, so this is the announcement. In 2026, we're going to do something that I don't believe from all all the source checking that we've seen, no one has ever attempted this before. We are going to visit 1,000 towns in the state of Indiana. And along the way, we're going to share a hundred reasons as to why you're sleeping on Indiana. Why Indiana is chronically underrated.
Indiana has 569 cities and towns. So, it's 117 cities, 452 towns, gives us 569 cities and towns that are incorporated. Then we have another 1,200 unincorporated towns. So, we're going to get a mixture of all that. We're going to visit cities. We're going to visit towns. We're going to visit unincorporated towns that don't have governments. And we're going to visit 1,000 municipalities in the state of Indiana. Document the process. We're going to be coming to a town near you. If you're listening to this and you're in the state of Indiana, we will be in your backyard at some point.
Okay. So, since you're going to be doing all of them, which one are you looking forward to going to most? Like what part of the state
and like where haven't you been?
I have not spent a lot of time in the region and they let me know it in the comments. They and I'm excited to go up there to Whiting to go up to East Chicago, maybe see the future side of the Bears. That might be some of the most surprising news that the Chicago Bears included Northwest Indiana in their future stadium expansion talks, which is nuts. But I'm I'm excited to go check that part out. I've also never gone up a uh north of Fort Wayne a ton. Like I've been to Fort Wayne, but Angola, Stuben County, Dow County, up in there, I don't have a lot of experience. And like the stretch that would take you from there over to Elcart and South Bend. I don't really know that area of the state very well. And then from South Bend
from South Bend [laughter]
from from from South Bend to the region that whole Southshore of uh Lake Michigan. I'm excited to explore that. And then this is the other part that I don't really know very well.
Go from Lafayette up to Chicago.
Spread out through that
like that 65 corridor. That's like uh what is that? Uh the bison um Kentland
Benton Central.
Benton Benton County. Don't know that very well. Like the Valparezo area. I could know better. Like it'll be interesting to get into there. That's all uncharted territory for me.
NWI for you.
NWI. I'm I'm excited to dive into the region and learn more about how those people tick.
What about you guys? Where are you excited to Where's a place if you can make 100% sure you get to tag along, where do you want to go?
Fort Wayne and Evansville. Robbie's never been either.
I've never been there either.
Uh southeast Indiana. I'm gonna go opposite of you. Never spend much time down.
You can come down to the baby to be man.
Come on now.
Check out the Bulldogs.
Yeah. It'll be fun. Yeah. Down to Lawrenburg. I mean, underrated podcast episode. I thought I love talking to Mason Paris, the Olympic wrestler from Lawrenburg. He was cool. He had some good stories about cuz so he knew I think they knew by the time he was a junior, he was going to be D1. So, like the Michigan wrestling coaches are coming to Lawrenceburg Friday night football games. Yeah.
Like that's pretty fun. The I think it was the Stanford coaches came too. Like it was pretty fun. Okay. So, Southeastern Indiana, you're excited about the OP. We literally hit all four corners. Yeah.
So, Robbie's got Northeast and Southwest. I've got Northwest. We're We're coming to a city near you. Uh along the journey. We're going to share fun facts. We're going to share restaurants, parks. like we don't know entirely what the hundred reasons are, but we're going to uncover them along the journey. We're going to share that on the podcast here. We're going to share it in our newsletter. Make sure you're subscribed to both. Make sure you're following along on social media and let us know where should we start? What town should we visit first? It's going to be a wild year. I think that will determined. We have to visit on average 2.7 cities and towns per day.
That's crazy.
Yep. Uh we are going to be visiting all 92 counties.
Yep.
There are nine different regions that we're going to.
How many cities, towns, and unincorporated towns we could visit in a place like Boone County? They have Advance, Jamestown, Lebanon, Thorntown, Olen or Yulan, Whitestown, Zansville. Then they have So that's seven. Keep track there. Then they have Big Springs, Dale, Dover, Elizaville, Faget, Gadsen, Hazel Rig, Herr, Mechanicsburg, Milligville, New Brunswick, Northfield, Pike, Rost, Shepard, String Town.
It's going to be a long video.
Tahun and Wah.
Fun fact, Hanok County also has String Town because that was one of the places that were
you're hitting tomorrow.
There's going to be a lot of repeats, I think, there. Uh, but along the way we're gonna learn we're gonna learn about these communities. We're going to learn about just like little We're literally going to travel more of the state of Indiana than I think anyone has ever done before.
I think so as well.
You're the most if you know someone that has been to more than a thousand cities and towns in Indiana, please let us know.
Yeah.
Because then we'll have to increase our number.
And driving just driving straight through doesn't count.
No, we're stopping. We're going to take a picture in every single one. There's going to be a photo wall of 1,000 cities, towns, unincorporated towns in Indiana. And it's going to be a heck of a journey.
Yeah.
And I think that we're going to come across some like I hope that at one stop someone like a grandmother invites us in to have dinner and we just get to sit around the table and
eat some
good food.
Sugar cream pie.
Oh yeah. Come on now.
Yep.
All right. As you think of other wishes, goals, what do you guys want to accomplish in 2026? I don't, this isn't really a goal or a wish, but I'm very, very excited to start full-time.
Yeah. For those that don't know, Will will be joining the Get Indiana team full-time after he graduates from Purdue University in West Lafayette this summer.
Yep. May.
In May. So, we're excited to have another full-timer joining the staff. We're excited to keep putting out the what I believe to be the best content focused in the state of Indiana that the world has ever seen. If you have recommendations, if you have things you want to see, if you have ways that we could be better, or if you're an advertiser, if you're a sponsor, if you're someone that wants to reach and get your brand in front of the state of Indiana, please hit us up. Uh, we're figuring out, we're working with some awesome brands. We have some really cool videos coming out. We have a new content series coming out. I'm excited for what 2026 has to offer. I'm excited for your guys' help.
Should we set our goals?
We should predictions.
What are our predictions? I'm guessing this is the year that we get Caitlyn Clark on the podcast.
That's This is the year.
Whoa.
So, whatever happens, look back at this.
Robert is calling the shot.
And Robert's usually pretty good at predicting the future.
Yeah. Danny speaking.
Yeah. Especially in regards to sports. Will, what's your prediction for 2026?
Honestly, this might be our biggest year of growth that we'll ever see.
Whoa.
Ever.
So, are you making a prediction for 2027 that we will grow less? No, [laughter] we'll just be growing the same amount.
Wow. I don't know. I'm just saying this will be I think this is definitely going to be the year that we say, "Oh, this is when we this is when
this is when the scales tipped cuz it feels like we have a lot of momentum right now." But I think that Yeah.
And we've been saying it forever. I know we have. We've literally been saying it. We've been saying it since 2024 that this is this is when we're going to break through. But like actually 2026 is when this scale
I think in 2026 we will have multiple videos about the state of Indiana that get over a million views.
I agree.
Yeah. I think that's going to be
I think that we will help elevate the state of Indiana to a national scale unlike anyone except Pat Crime Junkie like the podcast but they're not exclusively talking about Indiana. But we're going to take Indiana content and get it nationally relevant.
I think this will be
globally relevant. I think this will be the year that Nate gets his first interview with like a legacy media magazine.
Oh,
like a nationally known one.
Oh,
yeah.
You think so?
Yeah. Like you're going to be on the cover of Vogue [gasps]
