To Mars We Go
We’ll never forget THE CALL that happened late January this year
It was truly the moment we freed ourselves from existing projects and finally started saying no to opportunities
At the time it felt like the weirdest thing in the world to do but now looking back it was a great decision
Documenting the journey of BP with these podcasts whenever we’re together is the new us going forward for this show
Excited to continue building 📈
To Mars We Go 🚀
It feels REALLY REALLY GOOD releasing our first podcast in 5 months
We kept it to a tight hour. Spend sometime catching up with us as we recap all the changes we’ve made since January within the Corp, the insanity of SZN 2 and what’s to come for SZN 3 in fall of this year.
“When you make time to focus on the things you love, things start to frickin grow” - elegant quote from at the 30:45 mark

Notes from our 1st EVER Company Retreat:
1. We are builders - not just podcasters
2. Triple down on
3. Moving on from old projects is ok. It’s a sign that you’re growing
4. Constantly remind yourself why you do what you do and build new things around that why
5. Focus on one thing (& no more than 3 things lol) at a time
Felt pretty amazing to spend some time TOGETHER and also spend Corp $$ on ourselves. 5 years ago we would’ve never had this opportunity and it’s cool to recognize that’s what we have.
THIS WEEK we are also coming back together. is flying into to host the SZN 2 FINALE of
We also are hopping back on the mics with each other for the first time in 6 months.
We’re stoked. We hope you are too 😏
See you Wednesday 🚀
Boatchella is officially a thing of the past
Over the past few months, we decided to pull the plug on arguably the best day of summer, biggest success in BP history, and overall just something we looked forward to year in and year out.
Why? We wanted to create space for new opportunities
At the end of the day Boatchella was a party that took 8 months to plan. And while that was worth it back when we started it, there are just too many other avenues we LOVE that Boatchella was getting in the way of
Stopping this event feels like a break up. It feels like we made a mistake ending it. However, since taking it down we’ve finally made time for the future of BP
That future will be a conversation to be had very soon and rolling out the ideas and concepts to the people who care most the response we get every time is simply a “f**k yes”
Cheers to the hustle. We’re in year 5 and it feels like we’ve got a blank canvas and it feels incredible.
To help cope with this loss feel free to repost this and tag us with your favorite Boatchella memory or why Boatchella is special to you. It was a event we’ll all remember forever (along with the lawyers at Coachella 😌)
Time to lay the next brick. Love you guys
Can’t ask for a better bday gift than a new record attendance, selling out headphones, mom crying on the show, parents in town, and a complete grand slam of a night
Truly incredible to watch this all come together and executed perfectly averagely.
BP is changing. BP is growing. BP is thriving and has all the jet fuel it needs to get where it needs to go due in large part to our boy hot legs Andy
Happy 26th bday brother 💕🚀
TONIGHT WE’RE GOING FOR AN ATTENDANCE RECORD
Kween .meschke is taking 3 lucky men on some dates tonight and a SPECIAL GUEST will be in attendance (hint: he has something to do with our shared humanity and he likes to walk 😏😏😏)

5 years ago we started something called the Backpocket Podcast
It’s truly wild to think about the heroes journey it’s been the past 5 years - let alone the last year itself
The one constant that keeps us coming back is the opportunity to build a community. We barely even record podcasts together anymore (not because we don’t want to, just entertained in other spaces at the moment). We constantly find new ways to be unique and bring people together because at the end of the day that’s what’s fun and that’s what we always hold closest to our hearts
The 1000+ wildly average people over 5 years can really cause a ruckus. We intend to do more of that in year 6 in some new spaces
We love each and every one of you. There’s nothing cooler than this opportunity we have right in front of us in year 6.
To Mars We Go
Love,
Andy & Dec
OK WE ARE BACK!
