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 real conversations live.
We revisit the crowd favorites and also bring back the practical. Along the way, we spotlight guests who expanded the world of the show, from local service to pickleball culture to acts of everyday generosity that deserve a louder cheer.
Then we go deeper. Our most-downloaded series, A Parent’s Nightmare, unfolds with care, structure, and clear trigger warnings. We talk through how we prepared to speak on trauma, why reading from notes can be a survival skill, and what we’ve learned about parenting in the age of phones and social media. The takeaways are practical and firm: know your kids’ worlds, set boundaries early, and don’t outsource safety to screens. We keep it human, too—studio mishaps, clumsy confessions, and the family game-night logic that never quite adds up but always brings us back to the table.
Season two is a promise: more listener-driven topics, selective video moments, and deeper research where the stakes are high. Come for the laughter, stay for the candor, and leave with something useful. If you smiled, thought twice, or shouted at your dashboard, hit follow, share this episode with a friend (or an ex), and drop us your boldest topic idea. Your stories make this show better—what should we tackle next?

SPEAKER_01 (00:04):
Welcome everyone to today's show.
It is going to be a doozy.
We are a boomer in a Gen X orwalk into a bar coming to you
from the rabbit hole studio,where you, as our listeners,
will experience some wit andwisdom, some smart assery, and a
mother and a daughterquestioning, are we even
related?
My name is Jane, and my co-hostis my daughter, Bobby.
(00:26):
And for the next severalminutes, I guarantee you will be
entertained because you knowwhat episode this is, Bobby?
This is season two, episode one.
We have made it through a fullyear with our listeners being so
committed to us and bless theirhearts.
God love them.
God love them.
SPEAKER_02 (00:49):
I'm sure there are plenty of therapists that know
who we are by now.
SPEAKER_01 (00:52):
I would think never met us.
Because I know our therapistsask, are you sharing this
information with anybody else?
We say, sure, on air.
So uh anyway, we've had just areally great uh year.
And I wanted to talk about thattoday.
That is what our show is about.
And we have had put out, as asmost of you know, we have put
(01:16):
out a show every Tuesday sinceOctober 1st of 2024.
Yep.
That was our very first show.
And have you gone back andlistened to any of our first
shows, Bobby?
I have.
And did we sound crazy?
SPEAKER_02 (01:31):
I mean, we still do.
It's just we're we're kind ofmore we have more of a flow now,
I think.
But back then it was alsohilarious the fact that we were
trying to find our our niche.
Ourselves.
We were trying to findourselves.
SPEAKER_01 (01:44):
Hey Bobby, why do you have one ear on and one ear
off on your headset?
SPEAKER_02 (01:50):
Because somebody decides that they uh want to
sing into the microphone, and Ican only deal with half of that.
SPEAKER_01 (01:57):
See, that's hurtful.
That's hurtful.
That hurts my feeling.
SPEAKER_02 (02:02):
I told you, you just can't do things.
You think you can.
I gotta tell you you can't.
I no, I I think I can.
I don't think you can.
No.
No, we're not we're not doingthis.
We're not doing this.
SPEAKER_01 (02:12):
Okay, I can sing, and one day on on the air, I'm
gonna sing.
I didn't say you can't sing.
You just don't want me to.
SPEAKER_02 (02:19):
It's just anybody can sing.
Not everybody has pitch andtone.
I know.
Like Dr.
SPEAKER_01 (02:26):
Domain always says, she loves to sing too bad.
She's no good at it.
Yep.
So there's that kaboom.
Oh, you're too late with the uhlittle drum set there, Dr.
Domain.
SPEAKER_00 (02:37):
You could have had the I thought you were gonna
sing a song.
SPEAKER_01 (02:39):
No, I'm not gonna sing a song.
But what I was gonna tell Bobbyis since she only has one side
of her headset on when we startout, and then she puts the whole
thing on.
Um, I was mowing and I hit abranch.
SPEAKER_02 (02:52):
No, you said you hit a tree.
SPEAKER_01 (02:54):
No, well, I did say I hit a tree, but I hit a branch
and it almost ripped my ear off.
Oh.
My ear was like bleeding allday.
Well, it really wasn't funny,and it still hurts, so it's hard
for me to wear my headset.
SPEAKER_02 (03:09):
But and like I said, any any sentence that starts
with I was mowing and ran into atree or I was on the tractor and
ran it into the pond, I know itends well.
No, and it doesn't phase meanymore.
It's just like, oh, again.
Okay.
SPEAKER_01 (03:25):
Well, I was just I was just sharing with you that
you know it's hard for me towear my headset because now I'm
gonna have cauliflower earprobably, and that's not really
attractive on women.
I don't think so.
You don't think I will?
SPEAKER_02 (03:38):
No.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (03:39):
I don't even know what cauliflower ear is.
We live in Iowa, everybodyshould know what cauliflower ear
is.
Uh well, the grandson used towrestle all the time.
So I kind of know whatcauliflower ear is, but I'd have
to look at a picture to makesure that I knew that exactly
what it was.
SPEAKER_02 (03:53):
Well, let me just say this if there's a fight in
the bar and one guy hascauliflower ears and the other
one doesn't, you're going withthe cauliflower cauliflower ears
every time.
Every time.
SPEAKER_01 (04:05):
Okay.
Well, anyway, that happened tome, and I just had to share that
with our listeners.
So we have been on the air for ayear.
Again, want to thank everybody.
And what we want to do today iskind of just review what we've
done over this past year.
So we started out with greatsupport, and we still have that
great support of otherpodcasters, and we have a lot of
(04:27):
listeners um that stay with us.
I mean, they talk to us aboutour shows and our topics, and
you know, what's their favoriteand who's the funniest.
I'm pretty sure it's me.
But uh, they talk about who'sthe funniest and you know, just
just some of the topics.
And our listeners, you guys doprovide us with ideas on what
(04:49):
our topics should be.
And so, you know, just lookingback, do you remember what our
very first topic was, Bobby?
SPEAKER_02 (04:55):
Our very first one uh was the don't hurt yourself.
I suppose the road rage, theroad rage.
SPEAKER_01 (05:02):
It was, yeah, road rage and uh furry faux pas.
We talked about it I waswondering if you're gonna
stutter on that, the faux pas.
unknown (05:10):
No.
SPEAKER_01 (05:12):
No, no.
Um, but anyway, we had a lot ofreally good topics out there,
and again, ask us.
We think we're hilarious, and sodo a lot of our listeners, and
we love the fact that y'all areare still listening in.
But I'm gonna ask you, Bob, whatwas your favorite topic when we
(05:32):
did this past year, or maybe acouple, because we had some fun
real fun with some of these, andwe had to do a lot of research
on some of these because wedidn't want to talk about them
until we knew something, andsomebody gave us a topic, and we
went, ooh, we better, you know,start checking that out.
SPEAKER_02 (05:50):
And there's even some now that we're going to
plan on putting out in seasontwo that were suggested in
season one, and it's justsomething that I don't want to
speak on until I actually havethe research.
SPEAKER_01 (06:02):
And you know what else we're gonna do during
season two is people have askedus, you know, will we go with a
video as opposed to just audio?
And the answer is no, no,absolutely.
But here's what we will do weare going to plan on doing some
videos so that we can put themon our Facebook page so that
(06:24):
y'all can see, you know, whatwe're up to.
We'll put them out, and I'm notsure TikTok's gonna exist, so
we're not really sure we'regonna go the TikTok route.
SPEAKER_02 (06:32):
But we'll when you first mentioned it, you're like,
we'll put it on the YouTube, andI'm like, that's the boomer
coming out right there.
Put it on the YouTube.
Why can't we do YouTube?
Well, let's just go on to AOLchat room and put it in there
too.
SPEAKER_01 (06:46):
Put it wherever, but we're gonna have a few videos
out there because there's toomany times when we have, I'll be
honest with you, Bobby's right.
I am a clumsy mess sometimes.
And I'm just a mess.
And she she's just a messsometimes, and sometimes it is
just so off the cuff that itblows both of our minds.
(07:06):
So, anyway, we we just want toshare that with you.
So, Bobby.
SPEAKER_02 (07:10):
Okay, what so my top one that I really enjoyed doing,
and unfortunately, it was at theum expense of someone else was
the one where we were talkingabout the things that we like
would never buy again and thingslike that.
SPEAKER_01 (07:25):
Oh, our regrettable purchases, yeah, yeah.
So uh Dr.
SPEAKER_02 (07:29):
Domain, I I for days I laughed about that.
Oh my gosh, I still laugh aboutthat.
SPEAKER_01 (07:36):
I still laugh about it.
I tell people when they say, Oh,you're podcasters, and we you
know, we tap their phone and wegive them the information and
they start following us.
I always tell them if you wantto hear one where Bobby and I
could not stop laughing at theexpense of Dr.
Domain, go to that one.
SPEAKER_02 (07:55):
Yeah, that one was super like I said, I'm glad that
he's at the point in his lifeand healing, I hope, that he can
just laugh about it and enjoythat other people laugh too.
And um, hopefully we're notre-traumatizing him at all.
SPEAKER_01 (08:08):
What do you think, Dr.
Domain?
I mean, did you have a favoriteone that we talked about over
the past year?
Dead silence.
He's thinking he's going throughthe catalog.
SPEAKER_00 (08:19):
Give me a second.
SPEAKER_01 (08:20):
Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_00 (08:22):
Um, I would say it was the one around manners.
Like there was an episode.
Oh, we didn't, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (08:28):
We did etiquette and manners, yes, we did.
SPEAKER_00 (08:31):
Yeah.
Um revealed a lot.
SPEAKER_01 (08:33):
There were there were several that I really
liked.
And and we had some guests onthat were really good too, you
know, because we had Said Isbaseuh from for pickleball.
We had Jackie Schmillen who camein talking about the Iowa
National Guard.
That was really wonderful.
Um, we also had uh Freedom Bikesand Generosity, and that was
with uh Ozzie Bob from A Bait,right?
(08:55):
Right here in Iowa, right?
SPEAKER_02 (08:56):
And I mean we had 53 episodes between our very first
one and our very last one ofseason one.
So there is a lot of materialand a lot of different material
out there.
SPEAKER_01 (09:08):
Yeah, there is a lot.
SPEAKER_02 (09:09):
It is crazy just looking back through it and
going, oh my god, yeah, we didthat.
We talked about that.
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (09:14):
You know which one I heard the most feedback one on
was thrifting and dumpsterdiving.
Oh, people love that.
Oh, they loved it.
You know why?
They're all thrifters, yeah.
And people are just not afraidto do the dumpster diving.
You know, another one that wedid, and this is going to kind
of uh wrap into another sessionthat we're gonna do was when we
(09:37):
had my grandson Dustin come onand talk about celiac.
Right.
I had a couple of people contactme and say, hey, listen, listen
to your podcast.
How did you know?
I mean, how did you know thatyou had it?
And what made you think that youneed to needed to go get it
checked out?
And so just helping those fewpeople that contacted me, you
(09:59):
know, uh and said it's nice toknow that you're not crazy about
things that are happening toyour body, yeah, because we're
crazy about other things, andyeah, I mean, uh, yeah, at least
I had a dream last night that Iprobably shouldn't share with
you, and I guess I won't,because one of the other ones
that was kind of controversialwas when we had that clash over
sex worker rights.
SPEAKER_02 (10:20):
Oh, sweet baby Jesus.
Please stay with us.
You know, I mean, uh listen,Jesus loved the whores and
prostitutes, he loves everybody,you know, so let's give them
some rights.
That's all I'm saying.
If Jesus can love them, thegovernment should too.
unknown (10:40):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (10:43):
And give them tax breaks.
And you're talking to somebodywho's cracked a Bible maybe
three times.
So that's true.
I have no idea what I'm talkingabout, and I'm gonna stick to
that.
SPEAKER_01 (10:51):
This is funny that she said that because every year
at Christmas.
Every year at Christmas, we havethis game that we play, and they
have to answer Jesus orChristmas uh questions.
And it's funny because Bobbyalways says that, but she went
to she had to go to horse camp,and the horse camp was a
Christian camp.
And so she got to ride horses,but she There was a trade-off.
(11:14):
There was a price.
I like to call it a bonus.
I like to call it a bonusbecause what's really funny is
during this game at Christmas,you get asked a question, and if
you can answer the question, youget to pick up a cup, and when
you pick up the cup, it could bea simple little gift like a pack
(11:35):
of gum, or it could be a hundreddollar bill.
It just really depends.
And so all the grandkids, allthe kids play this game, and we
also have a segment there whereyou can phone a friend, right?
But you have to pick somebody inthe room, and it can't be me.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (11:51):
We can't have our phones out.
SPEAKER_01 (11:52):
You can't have your phones out, can't be me that you
ask the question to.
SPEAKER_00 (11:56):
So how do you phone someone without a phone?
SPEAKER_01 (11:59):
It it's just kind of the same, you know, phone a
friend, ask a friend.
SPEAKER_02 (12:03):
We'll call it a phone.
We'll call it a relative.
SPEAKER_01 (12:05):
We'll call it ask a friend.
Phone another dumbass in theroom.
SPEAKER_00 (12:09):
Oh, it's just a little confused.
SPEAKER_01 (12:11):
But stay with us on this one.
Stay with us.
So, what happens, what I where Iwas going with this, is what
happens is since Bobbyhistorically has answered these
questions, everybody knows nowto ask Bobby to answer their
questions for him.
But if she's wrong, they lose.
Yeah.
So it was now last year we didgeography and history, and we
(12:37):
relied on one of my grandsons,highly intelligent cat, and
almost 90% of his answers werewrong.
And people were using him as ourgo-to for the answers.
He's so convincing.
SPEAKER_02 (12:54):
He's convinced himself answers that it's like
you could put him on a liedetector test, he would pass
every time with all the wronganswers.
That's true.
I mean, the kid, and don't getme wrong, the kid is smart, he
really is, but put on the spot.
I think that his brain kind ofum skips like a scratch CD.
(13:15):
And so he kind of has a problemwhere he's like, is this the
right answer?
And then he second guesseshimself and he's like, I'm
pretty sure it's this.
And it's like, no, no, dumbass.
SPEAKER_01 (13:25):
And so that now we've gotten to the point where
we won't even ask him.
He's not our second choice.
Everybody's looking around theroom going, who else could I
pick besides him?
SPEAKER_02 (13:34):
Obscure facts, absolutely.
How fast does a cheetah run?
How long can it run?
You know, what's on theSerengeti?
I'll ask him every time.
Yeah, when it comes down to, youknow, simple things that are
just winning a game.
Yeah, sorry, buddy.
SPEAKER_01 (13:48):
Yeah, not gonna happen.
Now we did have a show that I'mgonna bring up, and I don't
remember the topic now.
I'd have to go back and look atit, but Bobby, you'll remember
it.
It was kind of the shock factorfor me when she announced this
on the air, and everybody thatlistened knows what I'm talking
about.
(14:08):
It's when we were talking aboutyou did announce a lot of stuff,
but do you remember saying thatyou dropped acid at 14?
Oh, God.
SPEAKER_02 (14:20):
I said I was almost 14.
I think I was, I think I mighthave been already 14.
She wasn't even 14.
Oh my god.
I was almost 14.
SPEAKER_01 (14:28):
She had to have been living with her dad.
She couldn't have been livingwith me because I knocked her
head off.
SPEAKER_00 (14:32):
Not at all.
SPEAKER_01 (14:33):
But anyway, anyways, that one was one that silenced
me for quite some time on theair.
SPEAKER_02 (14:40):
A 44-year-old woman who pays her own bills and is
pretty smart cat.
Okay, I dropped acid, I've doneshrooms.
I listen, it's it is what it is.
My brain is fine sometimes.
SPEAKER_00 (14:54):
I'm just I think I think she should tell us more
about it.
I think she's take us back tothat day, Bob.
SPEAKER_02 (15:00):
No, you're trying to make me incriminate people, and
that ain't gonna happen.
But snitch.
SPEAKER_01 (15:05):
Snitch is good.
SPEAKER_00 (15:07):
And end up in ditches and end up in the
streets.
They're probably they'reprobably dead anyway.
SPEAKER_01 (15:13):
They died from an overdose.
That's not even funny.
SPEAKER_02 (15:16):
And they're probably listening, going, Wait a second.
SPEAKER_01 (15:20):
I think that was me.
I think that was me.
SPEAKER_02 (15:23):
So that particular, that particular I mean, listen,
the distance between your micand my mic and the you know,
speed at which you can get upand come at me.
I feel pretty safe at this pointthat I could come out the back
of the studio without yougetting to me quite.
Yeah, so I'm fine.
SPEAKER_01 (15:41):
You might want to try dropping something else
another time and see whathappens because I will be over
what's between us is Dr.
Domain and all the equipment.
And I would come over that likea spider monkey.
I'm not kidding you, becausethat put me back, and anybody
who listened to that show knowsthat I sat there in silence
because I was in such shock forso long.
(16:02):
It was crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (16:03):
I mean, you know, it is you know, yeah, you know,
yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (16:07):
So, what's another one that you really liked us
talking about or that you gotany feedback from?
SPEAKER_02 (16:13):
Well, I did get so our very top downloaded episode,
besides our very first introepisode.
Now that one did get our top,but the next one down um was
season one, episode seven, andit's called A Parent's Nightmare
Part One.
I screamed at her to run.
This holds this, so it's atwo-part episode.
(16:34):
It holds the number two andnumber four spot on our download
list.
Yes.
Now I did get a lot of feedbackfrom it, um, of course, just of
people not knowing who we were,um, who do, you know, who did
listen to the podcast and knewme personally.
And a lot of it was some peoplehad commented on the fact of how
(16:57):
um rehearsed or canned it soundwhen I talked.
And I had warned people, I thinkahead of time that look, you
know, we haven't we had nevertalked about the subject at that
point in length.
We had never opened up about it.
And so when I did talk about itas being, you know, kind of a
first person involved in it, Ityped it out.
(17:18):
I had to because when I readthings, I can, you know, it's
like looking through a videocamera.
You can kind of disassociateyourself from it.
Yeah, and I think that's why alot of these kids video this
horrific stuff.
And anyways, so I candisassociate from it to a
certain degree to where I'm nottripping up, I'm not having
(17:39):
those memory flashes or anythingelse as I'm reading it.
So I did get a lot of peoplesaying, hey, you know, it
sounded real canned, realrehearsed.
And it's like, go through ityourself, unfortunately, and and
understand that not all of uscan just get in front of a
camera or a microphone and beperfect about it.
SPEAKER_01 (17:57):
Now let's back up just a little bit and let's tell
the listeners who didn't listento those two episodes.
Well, first of all, go back andlisten to them.
Yes.
Okay, please do.
Yeah, so those ran in Novemberof last year.
And we we hope that you do.
I will tell you, those werethose two, it was um part one
and part two.
Right.
(18:17):
They were the episode seven andepisode eight.
SPEAKER_02 (18:19):
And uh tell them why we did that.
Uh, we did that because my uh myson and my older daughter were
victims in the Perry High Schoolshooting back on January 4th of
2024.
SPEAKER_01 (18:33):
In Iowa.
In Perry, Iowa.
Yep.
And our grant my grandson, herson, got shot nine times.
Yep.
And that's all we're gonna tellyou this time because we really
do want you to go back andlisten to part one, part two.
They were these were super hard.
And I I'll be honest with you,Bobby, I didn't know that you
were reading from anything.
SPEAKER_02 (18:53):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (18:53):
Because you were, you know, I mean, and even now
we've not talked uh about it.
We talk, don't get me wrong, asa family, we talked, we
definitely talk, but we didn'tgo through it a chronological
order like Bobby did on thesetwo podcasts.
It was very heart-wrenching.
I had people coming up to mesaying, Hey, I listened to that,
(19:15):
and it is so heart-wrenching.
It was so hard to get through.
I don't know how you did it.
We don't know how we did it.
No, and there were times I Ithink Dr.
Domain had to stop the recordingbecause we just it was
difficult.
It was super difficult.
So part one, part two,definitely wants to listen.
SPEAKER_02 (19:33):
I mean, and I'll say the trigger warning again now,
just for people who haven't beenthrough it.
You know, if you have smallkids, if you have teenagers, if
you have people who are veryempathetic and are not prepared
to listen to it, please don'tlisten to it around them.
Um just have that respect.
SPEAKER_01 (19:51):
Right.
And and I agree with that.
And unfortunately, in oursociety, there continues to be
shootings, whether it's at aschool, whether it's in a mall,
whatever.
SPEAKER_02 (20:04):
As of recording, we just had uh two this morning.
SPEAKER_01 (20:08):
I I didn't see this morning.
SPEAKER_02 (20:10):
Yeah, I believe we had one was at a church and one
was somewhere else.
SPEAKER_01 (20:13):
Okay, yeah, absolutely.
Um, and so very unfortunate.
Just you know, what can you doas a parent?
Uh talk, talk, talk, talk, talk,and talk.
Yeah, and know what your kidsare doing, know who they're
talking to, know who they'rehanging out with, know what
they're talking about.
Please, please understand what'sgoing on with your kids.
(20:34):
Um, your phone is not thatimportant.
No.
Uh, your kids are.
SPEAKER_02 (20:38):
And their kids don't need to have phones and social
media.
And we do the we actually gothrough that too on episode two.
Yeah, we do.
Um, you know, about kids andsocial media.
And that was a good one to dojust because there are so many
parents out there who areyounger, I want to say.
Yeah.
And their lives are socialmedia, their lives are the
phones, so they don't understandwhy it's so detrimental for
(21:01):
their children who are under theage of 18 to be on those phones
and to have those social mediasand to have or allow people
access to them 24-7 that wouldnever have access to them in a
you know, a regular life.
SPEAKER_01 (21:15):
Yeah.
Kids' minds don't develop thatquickly.
I mean, everybody thinks, oh,they're 15, they're 17, they're
not.
SPEAKER_02 (21:22):
No, it's like 25 minutes before the frontal lobe
fully develops.
SPEAKER_01 (21:25):
And so, you know, you just have to be careful of
that.
And sometimes it still issometimes it never develops.
Because I was worried about you.
Oh my god.
You know, you were like 32, andI thought, man, is she ever is
she ever gonna get her shittogether?
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Like, this is this is that's one way of put hope
right here, and and I'm losingit.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (21:47):
So one of the other ones that was really popular for
us was things you should know.
And uh, we did talk about thingsthat you know, if your kids
don't know that you can take thesun visor and put it down and
turn it over to if your kidsdon't know where to get a roll
(22:08):
of quarters to do their laundry,right?
SPEAKER_02 (22:11):
And they order rolls of quarters off of Amazon only
to find that they are just therolls and not the quarters.
Please let them listen to that.
Um, you know, I don't maybe Ishould come out with a book of
shit you should know beforeyou're 21.
SPEAKER_01 (22:26):
You know, you should.
SPEAKER_02 (22:28):
And it's you got pictures and it's got it's dry
erase, so you can make notes anderase it later.
You know, draw some drawing thepictures.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (22:36):
You know what else was popular?
Your books, Bobby.
SPEAKER_02 (22:40):
My books.
Your books.
SPEAKER_01 (22:41):
Oh, my books.
Oh my goodness.
SPEAKER_02 (22:43):
What were your books?
So we had Who Will Eat My Clam?
And these are I gagged at.
SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
They look like children's books, kind of like
children's books.
I mean, if you open one up, it'slike, you know, they rhyme and
they got cute little picturesand things like that.
They are not children's books.
Do not be able to do that.
SPEAKER_02 (23:07):
These are to children's books what South Park
is to Bluey.
Okay, just because it looks thesame does not mean it is
appropriate.
Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_01 (23:16):
That's funny.
Um, another one that we didearly on, uh, and you mentioned
it already, was you know, roadrages and stuff like that.
That was our pet peeves episode.
People were like all over that.
Oh, yeah.
Because uh people were going,you know what my pet peeve is?
Every time I saw and theylistened, you know, it was like,
(23:38):
you know what my pet peeve is?
You know what I hate?
And I was like, no, tell me, youknow.
You know, I want to know.
I want to stay away from those.
So yeah, we had it, we had agood year.
Um, we are in um how manycountries did I say we were in?
12, 12 or 13 or 12.
12 or 13 now.
Yeah, and like almost 200cities.

Yeah, so yeah, we're we're doingreally well, and it's because of
you.
And we ask you each week if youwould please share us as you get
the information, follow us, goin and like us, talk to us.
SPEAKER_02 (24:15):
Yeah, and what you know, one of the most awesome
ones I think that we didrecently was the the episode
where we asked people, whatwould you tell yourself, your
younger self?
SPEAKER_01 (24:26):
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:26):
That was one of my favorite ones just because I got
to find out things about peoplethat I thought that I knew.
That's and I didn't know.
SPEAKER_01 (24:34):
Yeah, that's a good point.
SPEAKER_02 (24:35):
Yeah, yeah, and that's all and it all came from
listeners.
SPEAKER_01 (24:38):
And what's funny is we were asking our friends, and
we asked our friends thatlisten.
And one of the one of thepodcasters that kind of put us
on this road, Ed Hallback, hewas one of our our guests
speakers, yeah.
And what a great guy.
He's got his own show.
Please look him up.
One of the things he had saidwas your friends won't listen to
(25:00):
your podcast.
SPEAKER_02 (25:01):
Yeah, friends and close family.
They don't listen.
Good luck.
And but our exes sure like it.
SPEAKER_01 (25:06):
Your exes your exes sure like it because they think
you're talking about them.
If the shoe fits, Cinderella.
You know, that's interestingbecause my closest friends
really do not listen.
And you'd think for supportthat's crazy that they would.
And I thought that when he toldme that, I thought, why wouldn't
your friends and family justsupport you?
SPEAKER_00 (25:27):
Maybe they're tired of us.
They're not hearing anythingnew, probably.
SPEAKER_01 (25:29):
Yeah, that's why they're tired of us.
That could be no, they're nottired of us.
I think there's just a lot ofpodcasts.
SPEAKER_00 (25:35):
They know everything about you, all right?
SPEAKER_01 (25:37):
They know everything, yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (25:38):

SPEAKER_01 (25:41):

Isn't it beautiful?
SPEAKER_01 (26:01):

SPEAKER_02 (26:18):

will experience some wit andwisdom, some smart assery, and a
mother and a daughterquestioning, are we even

(00:26):
And for the next severalminutes, I guarantee you will be
entertained because you knowwhat episode this is, Bobby?
This is season two, episode one.
We have made it through a fullyear with our listeners being so
committed to us and bless theirhearts.
God love them.
God love them.
SPEAKER_02 (00:49):
I'm sure there are plenty of therapists that know
who we are by now.
SPEAKER_01 (00:52):
I would think never met us.
Because I know our therapistsask, are you sharing this
information with anybody else?
We say, sure, on air.
So uh anyway, we've had just areally great uh year.
And I wanted to talk about thattoday.
That is what our show is about.
And we have had put out, as asmost of you know, we have put
(01:16):
out a show every Tuesday sinceOctober 1st of 2024.
Yep.
That was our very first show.
And have you gone back andlistened to any of our first
shows, Bobby?
I have.
And did we sound crazy?
SPEAKER_02 (01:31):
I mean, we still do.
It's just we're we're kind ofmore we have more of a flow now,
I think.
But back then it was alsohilarious the fact that we were
trying to find our our niche.
Ourselves.
We were trying to findourselves.
SPEAKER_01 (01:44):
Hey Bobby, why do you have one ear on and one ear
off on your headset?
SPEAKER_02 (01:50):
Because somebody decides that they uh want to
sing into the microphone, and Ican only deal with half of that.
SPEAKER_01 (01:57):
See, that's hurtful.
That's hurtful.
That hurts my feeling.
SPEAKER_02 (02:02):
I told you, you just can't do things.
You think you can.
I gotta tell you you can't.
I no, I I think I can.
I don't think you can.
No.
No, we're not we're not doingthis.
We're not doing this.
SPEAKER_01 (02:12):
Okay, I can sing, and one day on on the air, I'm
gonna sing.
I didn't say you can't sing.
You just don't want me to.
SPEAKER_02 (02:19):
It's just anybody can sing.
Not everybody has pitch andtone.
I know.
Like Dr.
SPEAKER_01 (02:26):
Domain always says, she loves to sing too bad.
She's no good at it.
Yep.
So there's that kaboom.
Oh, you're too late with the uhlittle drum set there, Dr.
Domain.
SPEAKER_00 (02:37):
You could have had the I thought you were gonna
sing a song.
SPEAKER_01 (02:39):
No, I'm not gonna sing a song.
But what I was gonna tell Bobbyis since she only has one side
of her headset on when we startout, and then she puts the whole
thing on.
Um, I was mowing and I hit abranch.
SPEAKER_02 (02:52):
No, you said you hit a tree.
SPEAKER_01 (02:54):
No, well, I did say I hit a tree, but I hit a branch
and it almost ripped my ear off.
Oh.
My ear was like bleeding allday.
Well, it really wasn't funny,and it still hurts, so it's hard
for me to wear my headset.
SPEAKER_02 (03:09):
But and like I said, any any sentence that starts
with I was mowing and ran into atree or I was on the tractor and
ran it into the pond, I know itends well.
No, and it doesn't phase meanymore.
It's just like, oh, again.
Okay.
SPEAKER_01 (03:25):
Well, I was just I was just sharing with you that
you know it's hard for me towear my headset because now I'm
gonna have cauliflower earprobably, and that's not really
attractive on women.
I don't think so.
You don't think I will?
SPEAKER_02 (03:38):
No.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (03:39):
I don't even know what cauliflower ear is.
We live in Iowa, everybodyshould know what cauliflower ear
is.
Uh well, the grandson used towrestle all the time.
So I kind of know whatcauliflower ear is, but I'd have
to look at a picture to makesure that I knew that exactly
what it was.
SPEAKER_02 (03:53):
Well, let me just say this if there's a fight in
the bar and one guy hascauliflower ears and the other
one doesn't, you're going withthe cauliflower cauliflower ears
every time.
Every time.
SPEAKER_01 (04:05):
Okay.
Well, anyway, that happened tome, and I just had to share that
with our listeners.
So we have been on the air for ayear.
Again, want to thank everybody.
And what we want to do today iskind of just review what we've
done over this past year.
So we started out with greatsupport, and we still have that
great support of otherpodcasters, and we have a lot of
(04:27):
listeners um that stay with us.
I mean, they talk to us aboutour shows and our topics, and
you know, what's their favoriteand who's the funniest.
I'm pretty sure it's me.
But uh, they talk about who'sthe funniest and you know, just
just some of the topics.
And our listeners, you guys doprovide us with ideas on what
(04:49):
our topics should be.
And so, you know, just lookingback, do you remember what our
very first topic was, Bobby?
SPEAKER_02 (04:55):
Our very first one uh was the don't hurt yourself.
I suppose the road rage, theroad rage.
SPEAKER_01 (05:02):
It was, yeah, road rage and uh furry faux pas.
We talked about it I waswondering if you're gonna
stutter on that, the faux pas.
unknown (05:10):
No.
SPEAKER_01 (05:12):
No, no.
Um, but anyway, we had a lot ofreally good topics out there,
and again, ask us.
We think we're hilarious, and sodo a lot of our listeners, and
we love the fact that y'all areare still listening in.
But I'm gonna ask you, Bob, whatwas your favorite topic when we
(05:32):
did this past year, or maybe acouple, because we had some fun
real fun with some of these, andwe had to do a lot of research
on some of these because wedidn't want to talk about them
until we knew something, andsomebody gave us a topic, and we
went, ooh, we better, you know,start checking that out.
SPEAKER_02 (05:50):
And there's even some now that we're going to
plan on putting out in seasontwo that were suggested in
season one, and it's justsomething that I don't want to
speak on until I actually havethe research.
SPEAKER_01 (06:02):
And you know what else we're gonna do during
season two is people have askedus, you know, will we go with a
video as opposed to just audio?
And the answer is no, no,absolutely.
But here's what we will do weare going to plan on doing some
videos so that we can put themon our Facebook page so that
(06:24):
y'all can see, you know, whatwe're up to.
We'll put them out, and I'm notsure TikTok's gonna exist, so
we're not really sure we'regonna go the TikTok route.
SPEAKER_02 (06:32):
But we'll when you first mentioned it, you're like,
we'll put it on the YouTube, andI'm like, that's the boomer
coming out right there.
Put it on the YouTube.
Why can't we do YouTube?
Well, let's just go on to AOLchat room and put it in there
too.
SPEAKER_01 (06:46):
Put it wherever, but we're gonna have a few videos
out there because there's toomany times when we have, I'll be
honest with you, Bobby's right.
I am a clumsy mess sometimes.
And I'm just a mess.
And she she's just a messsometimes, and sometimes it is
just so off the cuff that itblows both of our minds.
(07:06):
So, anyway, we we just want toshare that with you.
So, Bobby.
SPEAKER_02 (07:10):
Okay, what so my top one that I really enjoyed doing,
and unfortunately, it was at theum expense of someone else was
the one where we were talkingabout the things that we like
would never buy again and thingslike that.
SPEAKER_01 (07:25):
Oh, our regrettable purchases, yeah, yeah.
So uh Dr.
SPEAKER_02 (07:29):
Domain, I I for days I laughed about that.
Oh my gosh, I still laugh aboutthat.
SPEAKER_01 (07:36):
I still laugh about it.
I tell people when they say, Oh,you're podcasters, and we you
know, we tap their phone and wegive them the information and
they start following us.
I always tell them if you wantto hear one where Bobby and I
could not stop laughing at theexpense of Dr.
Domain, go to that one.
SPEAKER_02 (07:55):
Yeah, that one was super like I said, I'm glad that
he's at the point in his lifeand healing, I hope, that he can
just laugh about it and enjoythat other people laugh too.
And um, hopefully we're notre-traumatizing him at all.
SPEAKER_01 (08:08):
What do you think, Dr.
Domain?
I mean, did you have a favoriteone that we talked about over
the past year?
Dead silence.
He's thinking he's going throughthe catalog.
SPEAKER_00 (08:19):
Give me a second.
SPEAKER_01 (08:20):
Oh gosh.
SPEAKER_00 (08:22):
Um, I would say it was the one around manners.
Like there was an episode.
Oh, we didn't, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (08:28):
We did etiquette and manners, yes, we did.
SPEAKER_00 (08:31):
Yeah.
Um revealed a lot.
SPEAKER_01 (08:33):
There were there were several that I really
liked.
And and we had some guests onthat were really good too, you
know, because we had Said Isbaseuh from for pickleball.
We had Jackie Schmillen who camein talking about the Iowa
National Guard.
That was really wonderful.
Um, we also had uh Freedom Bikesand Generosity, and that was
with uh Ozzie Bob from A Bait,right?
(08:55):
Right here in Iowa, right?
SPEAKER_02 (08:56):
And I mean we had 53 episodes between our very first
one and our very last one ofseason one.
So there is a lot of materialand a lot of different material
out there.
SPEAKER_01 (09:08):
Yeah, there is a lot.
SPEAKER_02 (09:09):
It is crazy just looking back through it and
going, oh my god, yeah, we didthat.
We talked about that.
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (09:14):
You know which one I heard the most feedback one on
was thrifting and dumpsterdiving.
Oh, people love that.
Oh, they loved it.
You know why?
They're all thrifters, yeah.
And people are just not afraidto do the dumpster diving.
You know, another one that wedid, and this is going to kind
of uh wrap into another sessionthat we're gonna do was when we
(09:37):
had my grandson Dustin come onand talk about celiac.
Right.
I had a couple of people contactme and say, hey, listen, listen
to your podcast.
How did you know?
I mean, how did you know thatyou had it?
And what made you think that youneed to needed to go get it
checked out?
And so just helping those fewpeople that contacted me, you
(09:59):
know, uh and said it's nice toknow that you're not crazy about
things that are happening toyour body, yeah, because we're
crazy about other things, andyeah, I mean, uh, yeah, at least
I had a dream last night that Iprobably shouldn't share with
you, and I guess I won't,because one of the other ones
that was kind of controversialwas when we had that clash over
sex worker rights.
SPEAKER_02 (10:20):
Oh, sweet baby Jesus.
Please stay with us.
You know, I mean, uh listen,Jesus loved the whores and
prostitutes, he loves everybody,you know, so let's give them
some rights.
That's all I'm saying.
If Jesus can love them, thegovernment should too.
unknown (10:40):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (10:43):
And give them tax breaks.
And you're talking to somebodywho's cracked a Bible maybe
three times.
So that's true.
I have no idea what I'm talkingabout, and I'm gonna stick to
that.
SPEAKER_01 (10:51):
This is funny that she said that because every year
at Christmas.
Every year at Christmas, we havethis game that we play, and they
have to answer Jesus orChristmas uh questions.
And it's funny because Bobbyalways says that, but she went
to she had to go to horse camp,and the horse camp was a
Christian camp.
And so she got to ride horses,but she There was a trade-off.
(11:14):
There was a price.
I like to call it a bonus.
I like to call it a bonusbecause what's really funny is
during this game at Christmas,you get asked a question, and if
you can answer the question, youget to pick up a cup, and when
you pick up the cup, it could bea simple little gift like a pack
(11:35):
of gum, or it could be a hundreddollar bill.
It just really depends.
And so all the grandkids, allthe kids play this game, and we
also have a segment there whereyou can phone a friend, right?
But you have to pick somebody inthe room, and it can't be me.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (11:51):
We can't have our phones out.
SPEAKER_01 (11:52):
You can't have your phones out, can't be me that you
ask the question to.
SPEAKER_00 (11:56):
So how do you phone someone without a phone?
SPEAKER_01 (11:59):
It it's just kind of the same, you know, phone a
friend, ask a friend.
SPEAKER_02 (12:03):
We'll call it a phone.
We'll call it a relative.
SPEAKER_01 (12:05):
We'll call it ask a friend.
Phone another dumbass in theroom.
SPEAKER_00 (12:09):
Oh, it's just a little confused.
SPEAKER_01 (12:11):
But stay with us on this one.
Stay with us.
So, what happens, what I where Iwas going with this, is what
happens is since Bobbyhistorically has answered these
questions, everybody knows nowto ask Bobby to answer their
questions for him.
But if she's wrong, they lose.
Yeah.
So it was now last year we didgeography and history, and we
(12:37):
relied on one of my grandsons,highly intelligent cat, and
almost 90% of his answers werewrong.
And people were using him as ourgo-to for the answers.
He's so convincing.
SPEAKER_02 (12:54):
He's convinced himself answers that it's like
you could put him on a liedetector test, he would pass
every time with all the wronganswers.
That's true.
I mean, the kid, and don't getme wrong, the kid is smart, he
really is, but put on the spot.
I think that his brain kind ofum skips like a scratch CD.
(13:15):
And so he kind of has a problemwhere he's like, is this the
right answer?
And then he second guesseshimself and he's like, I'm
pretty sure it's this.
And it's like, no, no, dumbass.
SPEAKER_01 (13:25):
And so that now we've gotten to the point where
we won't even ask him.
He's not our second choice.
Everybody's looking around theroom going, who else could I
pick besides him?
SPEAKER_02 (13:34):
Obscure facts, absolutely.
How fast does a cheetah run?
How long can it run?
You know, what's on theSerengeti?
I'll ask him every time.
Yeah, when it comes down to, youknow, simple things that are
just winning a game.
Yeah, sorry, buddy.
SPEAKER_01 (13:48):
Yeah, not gonna happen.
Now we did have a show that I'mgonna bring up, and I don't
remember the topic now.
I'd have to go back and look atit, but Bobby, you'll remember
it.
It was kind of the shock factorfor me when she announced this
on the air, and everybody thatlistened knows what I'm talking
about.
(14:08):
It's when we were talking aboutyou did announce a lot of stuff,
but do you remember saying thatyou dropped acid at 14?
Oh, God.
SPEAKER_02 (14:20):
I said I was almost 14.
I think I was, I think I mighthave been already 14.
She wasn't even 14.
Oh my god.
I was almost 14.
SPEAKER_01 (14:28):
She had to have been living with her dad.
She couldn't have been livingwith me because I knocked her
head off.
SPEAKER_00 (14:32):
Not at all.
SPEAKER_01 (14:33):
But anyway, anyways, that one was one that silenced
me for quite some time on theair.
SPEAKER_02 (14:40):
A 44-year-old woman who pays her own bills and is
pretty smart cat.
Okay, I dropped acid, I've doneshrooms.
I listen, it's it is what it is.
My brain is fine sometimes.
SPEAKER_00 (14:54):
I'm just I think I think she should tell us more
about it.
I think she's take us back tothat day, Bob.
SPEAKER_02 (15:00):
No, you're trying to make me incriminate people, and
that ain't gonna happen.
But snitch.
SPEAKER_01 (15:05):
Snitch is good.
SPEAKER_00 (15:07):
And end up in ditches and end up in the
streets.
They're probably they'reprobably dead anyway.
SPEAKER_01 (15:13):
They died from an overdose.
That's not even funny.
SPEAKER_02 (15:16):
And they're probably listening, going, Wait a second.
SPEAKER_01 (15:20):
I think that was me.
I think that was me.
SPEAKER_02 (15:23):
So that particular, that particular I mean, listen,
the distance between your micand my mic and the you know,
speed at which you can get upand come at me.
I feel pretty safe at this pointthat I could come out the back
of the studio without yougetting to me quite.
Yeah, so I'm fine.
SPEAKER_01 (15:41):
You might want to try dropping something else
another time and see whathappens because I will be over
what's between us is Dr.
Domain and all the equipment.
And I would come over that likea spider monkey.
I'm not kidding you, becausethat put me back, and anybody
who listened to that show knowsthat I sat there in silence
because I was in such shock forso long.
(16:02):
It was crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (16:03):
I mean, you know, it is you know, yeah, you know,
yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (16:07):
So, what's another one that you really liked us
talking about or that you gotany feedback from?
SPEAKER_02 (16:13):
Well, I did get so our very top downloaded episode,
besides our very first introepisode.
Now that one did get our top,but the next one down um was
season one, episode seven, andit's called A Parent's Nightmare
Part One.
I screamed at her to run.
This holds this, so it's atwo-part episode.
(16:34):
It holds the number two andnumber four spot on our download
list.
Yes.
Now I did get a lot of feedbackfrom it, um, of course, just of
people not knowing who we were,um, who do, you know, who did
listen to the podcast and knewme personally.
And a lot of it was some peoplehad commented on the fact of how
(16:57):
um rehearsed or canned it soundwhen I talked.
And I had warned people, I thinkahead of time that look, you
know, we haven't we had nevertalked about the subject at that
point in length.
We had never opened up about it.
And so when I did talk about itas being, you know, kind of a
first person involved in it, Ityped it out.
(17:18):
I had to because when I readthings, I can, you know, it's
like looking through a videocamera.
You can kind of disassociateyourself from it.
Yeah, and I think that's why alot of these kids video this
horrific stuff.
And anyways, so I candisassociate from it to a
certain degree to where I'm nottripping up, I'm not having
(17:39):
those memory flashes or anythingelse as I'm reading it.
So I did get a lot of peoplesaying, hey, you know, it
sounded real canned, realrehearsed.
And it's like, go through ityourself, unfortunately, and and
understand that not all of uscan just get in front of a
camera or a microphone and beperfect about it.
SPEAKER_01 (17:57):
Now let's back up just a little bit and let's tell
the listeners who didn't listento those two episodes.
Well, first of all, go back andlisten to them.
Yes.
Okay, please do.
Yeah, so those ran in Novemberof last year.
And we we hope that you do.
I will tell you, those werethose two, it was um part one
and part two.
Right.
(18:17):
They were the episode seven andepisode eight.
SPEAKER_02 (18:19):
And uh tell them why we did that.
Uh, we did that because my uh myson and my older daughter were
victims in the Perry High Schoolshooting back on January 4th of
2024.
SPEAKER_01 (18:33):
In Iowa.
In Perry, Iowa.
Yep.
And our grant my grandson, herson, got shot nine times.
Yep.
And that's all we're gonna tellyou this time because we really
do want you to go back andlisten to part one, part two.
They were these were super hard.
And I I'll be honest with you,Bobby, I didn't know that you
were reading from anything.
SPEAKER_02 (18:53):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (18:53):
Because you were, you know, I mean, and even now
we've not talked uh about it.
We talk, don't get me wrong, asa family, we talked, we
definitely talk, but we didn'tgo through it a chronological
order like Bobby did on thesetwo podcasts.
It was very heart-wrenching.
I had people coming up to mesaying, Hey, I listened to that,
(19:15):
and it is so heart-wrenching.
It was so hard to get through.
I don't know how you did it.
We don't know how we did it.
No, and there were times I Ithink Dr.
Domain had to stop the recordingbecause we just it was
difficult.
It was super difficult.
So part one, part two,definitely wants to listen.
SPEAKER_02 (19:33):
I mean, and I'll say the trigger warning again now,
just for people who haven't beenthrough it.
You know, if you have smallkids, if you have teenagers, if
you have people who are veryempathetic and are not prepared
to listen to it, please don'tlisten to it around them.
Um just have that respect.
SPEAKER_01 (19:51):
Right.
And and I agree with that.
And unfortunately, in oursociety, there continues to be
shootings, whether it's at aschool, whether it's in a mall,
whatever.
SPEAKER_02 (20:04):
As of recording, we just had uh two this morning.
SPEAKER_01 (20:08):
I I didn't see this morning.
SPEAKER_02 (20:10):
Yeah, I believe we had one was at a church and one
was somewhere else.
SPEAKER_01 (20:13):
Okay, yeah, absolutely.
Um, and so very unfortunate.
Just you know, what can you doas a parent?
Uh talk, talk, talk, talk, talk,and talk.
Yeah, and know what your kidsare doing, know who they're
talking to, know who they'rehanging out with, know what
they're talking about.
Please, please understand what'sgoing on with your kids.
(20:34):
Um, your phone is not thatimportant.
No.
Uh, your kids are.
SPEAKER_02 (20:38):
And their kids don't need to have phones and social
media.
And we do the we actually gothrough that too on episode two.
Yeah, we do.
Um, you know, about kids andsocial media.
And that was a good one to dojust because there are so many
parents out there who areyounger, I want to say.
Yeah.
And their lives are socialmedia, their lives are the
phones, so they don't understandwhy it's so detrimental for
(21:01):
their children who are under theage of 18 to be on those phones
and to have those social mediasand to have or allow people
access to them 24-7 that wouldnever have access to them in a
you know, a regular life.
SPEAKER_01 (21:15):
Yeah.
Kids' minds don't develop thatquickly.
I mean, everybody thinks, oh,they're 15, they're 17, they're
not.
SPEAKER_02 (21:22):
No, it's like 25 minutes before the frontal lobe
fully develops.
SPEAKER_01 (21:25):
And so, you know, you just have to be careful of
that.
And sometimes it still issometimes it never develops.
Because I was worried about you.
Oh my god.
You know, you were like 32, andI thought, man, is she ever is
she ever gonna get her shittogether?
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Like, this is this is that's one way of put hope
right here, and and I'm losingit.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (21:47):
So one of the other ones that was really popular for
us was things you should know.
And uh, we did talk about thingsthat you know, if your kids
don't know that you can take thesun visor and put it down and
turn it over to if your kidsdon't know where to get a roll
(22:08):
of quarters to do their laundry,right?
SPEAKER_02 (22:11):
And they order rolls of quarters off of Amazon only
to find that they are just therolls and not the quarters.
Please let them listen to that.
Um, you know, I don't maybe Ishould come out with a book of
shit you should know beforeyou're 21.
SPEAKER_01 (22:26):
You know, you should.
SPEAKER_02 (22:28):
And it's you got pictures and it's got it's dry
erase, so you can make notes anderase it later.
You know, draw some drawing thepictures.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_01 (22:36):
You know what else was popular?
Your books, Bobby.
SPEAKER_02 (22:40):
My books.
Your books.
SPEAKER_01 (22:41):
Oh, my books.
Oh my goodness.
SPEAKER_02 (22:43):
What were your books?
So we had Who Will Eat My Clam?
And these are I gagged at.
SPEAKER_01 (22:54):
They look like children's books, kind of like
children's books.
I mean, if you open one up, it'slike, you know, they rhyme and
they got cute little picturesand things like that.
They are not children's books.
Do not be able to do that.
SPEAKER_02 (23:07):
These are to children's books what South Park
is to Bluey.
Okay, just because it looks thesame does not mean it is
appropriate.
Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_01 (23:16):
That's funny.
Um, another one that we didearly on, uh, and you mentioned
it already, was you know, roadrages and stuff like that.
That was our pet peeves episode.
People were like all over that.
Oh, yeah.
Because uh people were going,you know what my pet peeve is?
Every time I saw and theylistened, you know, it was like,
(23:38):
you know what my pet peeve is?
You know what I hate?
And I was like, no, tell me, youknow.
You know, I want to know.
I want to stay away from those.
So yeah, we had it, we had agood year.
Um, we are in um how manycountries did I say we were in?
12, 12 or 13 or 12.

you.
And we ask you each week if youwould please share us as you get
the information, follow us, goin and like us, talk to us.
SPEAKER_02 (24:15):
Yeah, and what you know, one of the most awesome
ones I think that we didrecently was the the episode
where we asked people, whatwould you tell yourself, your
younger self?
SPEAKER_01 (24:26):
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:26):
That was one of my favorite ones just because I got
to find out things about peoplethat I thought that I knew.
That's and I didn't know.
SPEAKER_01 (24:34):
Yeah, that's a good point.
SPEAKER_02 (24:35):
Yeah, yeah, and that's all and it all came from
listeners.
SPEAKER_01 (24:38):
And what's funny is we were asking our friends, and
we asked our friends thatlisten.
And one of the one of thepodcasters that kind of put us
on this road, Ed Hallback, hewas one of our our guests
speakers, yeah.
And what a great guy.
He's got his own show.
Please look him up.
One of the things he had saidwas your friends won't listen to
(25:00):
your podcast.
SPEAKER_02 (25:01):
Yeah, friends and close family.
They don't listen.
Good luck.
And but our exes sure like it.
SPEAKER_01 (25:06):
Your exes your exes sure like it because they think
you're talking about them.
If the shoe fits, Cinderella.
You know, that's interestingbecause my closest friends
really do not listen.
And you'd think for supportthat's crazy that they would.
And I thought that when he toldme that, I thought, why wouldn't
your friends and family justsupport you?
SPEAKER_00 (25:27):
Maybe they're tired of us.
They're not hearing anythingnew, probably.
SPEAKER_01 (25:29):
Yeah, that's why they're tired of us.
That could be no, they're nottired of us.
