That's NOT What Mom Said!

Listen in to hear a girl-dad of three daughters and his youngest daughter discuss, and reminisce through their years of funny, awkward, embarrassing, slightly serious, yet heartwarming stories from each of their perspectives.

From Oymyakon to Antarctica to Mount Everest, Amy seems to fixate on the coldest places on the planet. Listen to as she describes her latest obsession.

How does Tim get out of a sticky conversation? Just bring on some beer (or would that make things worse?) It's another Friday on Tap with Beer and Banter between Amy and Tim.

Note: A few corrections for this episode:

1. The correct name is Ernest Henry Shakleton - not Shakleford...

Amy and Tim discuss ways we all can be a little more civil (or not!) to each other. What small act of kindness have you received or witnessed, and how did it make you feel?

What's the proper way to handle a cold? Should you push through it and continue work, or should you step back, take some time off and get better to be at top performance? Listen to Amy did. (Of course Tim, without needing to work...)

Finally, what else can yo...

What does one thing have to do with another? Well, when it comes to "That's Not What Mom Said," absolutely nothing!

Amy and Tim sit down for another episode of "Friday on Tap" or "Beers and Banter" and wind up talking about October weather and remembering the 1991 Halloween Snowstorm that hit the Twin Cities.

From there the conversation winds to corporate benefits and pensions — where have they gon...

Listen in as Amy and Tim shoutout to some cool people they've each recently encountered. For Tim, it was a chance meeting that ended with a free beer, or two. For Amy, it was the opportunity to for a respectful encounter with a friendly TSA agent (they do exist!)

Then, thinking the podcast needed a subtheme since we mostly record on Fridays, and every episode now has an "opening", Amy plied Chat GPT for some suggestio...

What else would you do when you are in Prague, but spend four hours to get a tattoo?

Listen in as Amy tells us about her five days in Prague.

In the season of Octoberfest beer, are they as overrated as pumpkin spice? When you think about great foreign beer, what comes to top of mind — beers from Germany or beers from the Czech Republic?

Welcome back Amy to the show! After being away for about six weeks she make her triumphant return — well at least she made her way back to the studio.

Listen in as Amy describes her 24 hours in Paris, the most romantic city in the world! Or, is it?

What are your thoughts on France in general and Paris specifically? Are Parisians rude, or are Americans just too loud?

If you find yourself in Paris what iconic sites would you seek out...

In a return engagement, D2 joins Tim in discussing Year 4 at the Minnesota State Fair. Between interruptions from her S1, Lindsey and Tim discuss the importance of getting to know those around you, and the benefits positive relations bring.

Tim shares what he has learned in four years to help maintain his sanity while working 12 long days at the fair - at the end of the day, it's only root beer and soda - it's not life and death. (...

We're back after a short hiatus! Well, we're half back as Tim is joined with D2, Lindsey!

Listen as Lindsey regales her adventures with chickens - not city chickens! And then she and Tim discuss the differences between boys and girls.

The show goes down the "Rabbit Hole" as the discussion shifts to cell phones and social media. When is the time right for a child to have a phone?

Do you remember your phone number from 2nd Grade?

Here's a look back to episode 10, still our most listened to episode. Tim lets Amy in on some of the tactics he used to extract the truth from his daughters as they were growing up - and to Amy's surprise she had no clue!

As well the episode takes a dark turn to what Tim found in an old loveseat that was being disposed of in only a way that Tim would do.

How do you think you would fair in an experiment that administered negative consequences for incorrect behavior or responses? Would you be able to follow your moral compass and avoid destructive obedience?

Amy and Tim discuss the famous experiment conducted by Stanley Milgram in 1961 that sought to answer just these questions. Like Amy and Tim, you may be surprised (hopefully, I guess) by the results of the experiment - and if not,...

What are the odds of getting hit while riding a bicycle?

How do those odds change for a second incident?

Should Tim stop riding?

Listen in as Amy and Tim discuss the latest "adventure" while getting some exercise. Perhaps a change in venue is warranted.

Thank you for making "That's Not What Mom Said" a top father-daughter podcast (According to Feedspot who ranks the top 60 podcasts.)

Amy and Tim discuss the importance of accomplishments in our lives to help motivate us. The old adage, "How do you eat an elephant?" really applies when it comes to tackling large projects or goals.

Oh, the response to how do you eat an elephant?

In another of our "Tim Talks - Dad Blabs, " Amy and Tim discuss a shared pet peeve - "where's my (insert item here)!?!?!?"

It's never a great start to a project when you have to spend time tracking down the tools or materials you need that are not where you left them. You'd think there would be no problems living in a household of only two people - but you would be wrong!

Also, it usually better to buy quality and have it last, then...

Amy and Tim discuss what being successful means.

As Amy is now 30 has she missed the window of opportunity for success? Is there any opportunity for Tim, now 60, to salvage success from what time he has left?

Remember, "Comparison is the Thief of Joy."

This is a re-edit, rehash, rerun of episode 30 from February 2023 as part of our "Summer Re-Run" series.

Amy and Tim delve into the first "Dad Blab" and discuss lying.

The question is if it is ever alright to lie?

A person can always justify lying, but what each person needs to ask themself, is "why am I lying?"

Am I making things easier for "them" or myself?

It is said that the truth will set you free - and when you tell the truth you do not have to remember all the lies told.

Are we wasting too much time staring at screen while the world moves on around us? With so much of our consumption coming from screens of different sizes, are we allowing our brains to atrophy? Amy and Tim reflect on how things have changed in their lifetimes (with one of us having a lot more history!)

As usual, Tim and Amy's conversation wanders from the initial topic, and as usual, eventually makes it way back just in time to...

It is that time of year once again when you get hear about Tim's upcoming ride to Castle Danger Brewing (as if he hasn't talked enough about this already!)

Amy poses thought producing questions she received from her good friend Kath who is a loyal listener. Some are very light-hearted and fun, while a couple really may one think. You might agree that for a question or two the answer is obvious and there is only one correct response. Of course Amy and Tim did not always agree.

What is the best sauce? And is mayonnaise a sauce?

Finally! Amy found her way back to the studio and we were able to record a new episode! She weighs in on some of D2's comments and rebuffs her sister's "revised history."

Who is to say what the truth is these days, of course Tim has repressed much this timeframe in his life as he believes everything was "Unicorns and Rainbows!"

As we travel down a rabbit hole... the conversation switches to the question ...
