Heavy Hearts & Tired Mamas May 26, 2022

Show notes

What a week it's been. From the shooting in Buffalo to the Uvalde tragedy, our hearts are so heaving. It leaves us wondering when is it going to be enough? How many more babies, humans, have to die at the hands of a senseless, preventable tragedy? Who is going to put their foot down and demand change? Who will choose to use their power for good rather than their own personal benefit? Being a parent is hard enough but now we have to add active shooter conversations to our toolboxes and it's exhausting. School is not supposed to be scary and childhood shouldn't be this hard.
Hold your babies and loved ones tight. Do something nice for someone else. Do what you can to make the world a better place.
We are sending our love, prayers, and thoughts to all of those affected by all of the recent tragedies. Our hope is that policy and change happens sooner rather than later.
Enough is Enough.

The Wheel of Topics Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

Life gets busy with jobs and kids and housework and schoolwork and sports and podcasts that sometimes you just need a mental break - and that's exactly what this episode is. John joins Ash on this delightfully boring episode. Listen, our minds are mush and we just didn't plan enough ahead to account for Lar being out this week so, this is what you get. Welcome to our real life - it can be a real bitch sometimes!
This week's wine is Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore. 3 cheers for the wine, no cheers for the pronunciation.

Case of the Boulder Head - Happy 420! Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

It's 420 (well, when we recorded it was 420) and we are sharing some of our favorite memories, snacks, music and more from way back when. From pot circles to boulder heads I'm surprised we remember anything! It's an episode you don't want to miss! Happy smoking!
Marijuana is not taboo these days like it was when we were younger. If you're interested in seeing what is out there, visit your local dispensary. Our favorites - in the Kalamazoo area - are Lake Effect (https://lakeeffected.com/) and Doja (https://dojanow.com/). They are knowledgeable and patient and will take your wants and needs into consideration.

Battle of the Broads Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

This last week was a mess and we needed something fun and light - that's where Battle of the Broads comes in! John joins us and asks some of the worlds most burning questions; is a hotdog a sandwich? Marvel or DC? Red or White wine? Pirates or Ninja's? We answer all of these and more over a bottle (okay, 2 bottles) of a lovely Pinot Noir.

***WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC***
This week we take it all the way back to 2000 and re-sing some of the songs that turn 22 in '22. We apologize for the terrible singing but we just can't help ourselves. So grab a glass of wine and join our karaoke session. From Mya to Jay-Z to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Papa Roach, there's something for everyone on this episode. There's laughs, singing, and wine - it doesn't get much better than that.
