Our guest is Boris' long-time friend Dennis, a passionate indie art director and co-owner of Tall Trall Games, who also designs and produces board games for fun. We talk about Comic Con in Vilnius, smoking habits and why you shouldn't do it, and trying to add a sad tone to the show but we fail because everything makes us smile. We also give you a glimpse into the (potential) future of this podcast. It is a lovely episode, so come, ...

In this episode we talk to Rodney, our good friend, and former boss, who loves his home country, South Africa. You will also learn of our choices for a new home country, plus after a long hiatus Tool gets a short mention as well. It is a lovely episode, from lovely people to lovely people. Have a listen, it will make you smile :)

Going back in time with Steve Roman (from San Francisco, California!), and some beautiful, but rare wild beasts of Estonia also say hello to the dear listener. An episode you don’t want to miss!

The return of the show with season two, no video (we tried but failed..., maybe next time), awesome guest with a lot of love for ceramics, and last but not least why is Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad?

Spring and happiness, road rage and mpani worms, inventions of the past and the future, and we also almost (but not quite) solved the climate crisis. An episode full of laughter and annoying eating sounds. Excellent show, just excellent!

Karaoke, and KGB; drums, and shitting; and some attempts from Boris to do the King’s English. A fairly monologue-heavy episode, recorded with brand new gear is what made us smile during this show. Will it make you smile too? Only one way to find out! :)

So sit down, queue up this episode of It Makes Me Smile, and enjoy the show :)

Tool is back (in the podcast), Tamas is back (in Estonia), the swans never went anywhere, especially not on a (Mad) Road trip to supermarkets. If this doesn’t make sense, listen to the full episode. It won’t help, but it will be fun!

In our longest episode so far we talk a bit about fireworks, a lot about food in Estonia, a bit about wine in Hungary, about fear of height and how that works (well, according to our limited knowledge, and ambitious assumptions), and last but not least, little Tamas' personal encounter with Jesus.

A somewhat more serious topics about whether this is a good world to bring kids to it and we also touch on euthanasia.

But there are still things that make us smile,  and make us (well, Boris this time) cry.

You can learn how did the musical taste of little Boris and little Tamas has shaped from the very young age. And also other things but it has been a while since we recorded this episode and only uploading now and don't remember much :D

But it is an excellent episode! Oh, and Boris is drunk...

In this episode you can hear about some annoying Tool fanboyism from Tamas, we discuss our lack of talent for playing any instruments, and you can learn about Christmas customs in Hungary and soviet, and post-soviet Estonia. As a bonus after this episode you will be enriched with the knowledge about at what early age the presenters couldn't ejaculate yet...

In this episode you will hear about music magazines, Boris' horrible series watching habits, how to find new music, and whether it is better to listen to a whole album or just to a song from it (it is better).

And much more and a little bit less!
