A Boomer and GenXer Walk into a Bar

Ever been turned into a character in someone else’s story? On a fall road trip from Branson’s easygoing trails to Memphis’s revamped Graceland, we found ourselves starring in a stranger’s blog as “grumpy OCDs” who “do everything outside” and “aggressively launch Kleenex boxes.” The truth was far less dramatic—a tossed tissue box between laughs—but the misread sparked a bigger conversation about pettiness, projection, and how fast f...

A sweet cloud that smells like blueberry muffins shouldn’t come with a lung scare—but that’s exactly where our conversation goes. We start with a plan to quit cigarettes and pull apart the promise that vaping is a cleaner, safer swap. From a frightening, first-hand reaction after just a couple of puffs to the chemistry behind e-liquids, we unpack what’s really inside those cartridges and why “no smoke” doesn’t equal no harm.

Think game shows are pure chance and fair play? We pull the camera back on the spectacle to show how formats are engineered, contestants are cast, and “surprises” are carefully managed to deliver big TV moments.

A new sign lights up the Rabbit Hole Studio, and the conversation goes just as bright and unnervingly honest.

What if the rules you grew up with were just really sticky stories? We dive into the myths that shaped our childhood and still echo in our choices today—from the grain-heavy food pyramid and “wait 30 minutes before swimming” to TV ruining your eyes. We laugh at the harmless stuff, but we also go deeper into the narratives that steer money, power, and trust.

The conversation turns personal with parenting warnings and cultur...

If you’ve never heard of the FDA’s Food Defect Levels Handbook, brace yourself. We open the file together and unpack what “natural and unavoidable” really means, from insect fragments and rodent hairs to mold that gets blended down to acceptable thresholds. That eye-opening start sets the stage for a bigger, more urgent question: how did an agency founded in 1906 end up stretched across food, drugs, devices, and cosmetics while fal...

Ever had a wild destination vacation? A buffet line on a rocking ship is no one’s idea of fun—especially after a notorious cruise documentary sears a certain plumbing image into your brain. We ditch the decks and steer into the strange: mirror-flat salt deserts that swallow the horizon, a Soviet-era gas crater that’s still burning, and a cat sanctuary island where the purrs outnumber people. We also set our “lottery list” in stone—...

Ever look at a “healthy” label and feel like it’s winking at you?

From cereals engineered for bliss points to milk treated with synthetic hormones, we unpack how ultra-processed foods took over, why marketing crowned breakfast with a sugar halo,...

A year can change your voice. Ours did. And we avoided killing each other!! We hit record every Tuesday and built 53 episodes that zigzagged from road rage and thrift-store joy to a raw, carefully told account of the Perry High School shooting that reshaped our family. The result isn’t neat—and that’s the point. A Boomer and a Gen Xer learn to argue well, laugh hard, and lean into topics most people dodge, because that’s where the ...
