You know those people in your life...the ones you aren't always in contact with but you can pick right up where you left off or if you reach out, they are there in a second? This podcast includes some of these incredible women I have in my life. Truly forever friends and what real BFFs are! It's hard to get us to stop talking or laughing, and this episode may be boring or make no sense, but it was exactly what I needed!
I hope ever...

One Mike is a handful but two Mikes is just out of control. This session was definitely "rambling" and I'm not sure we really got anywhere but it was fun! Mike Lee and Mike Lair were a blast and although we went off the rails less than half way in, we at least laughed through the whole thing. It also helped to have Money's wife, Heather, there as well! I guess even if the hour dosen't make sense for you, it made perfect sense to u...

Well, it's been awhile, but no better way to get back into it than with these two ladies who are my spirit animals! I did record this in October so it's a bit delayed but a perfect time/laugh for the colder weather. Honestly, we were all over the place but we couldn't help it. This was a blast to get back into recording, and I promise to get back on track in the new year.

A Joe Brown request but you can't blame him! These three ladies together are a riot and we didn't even get into all the things we could have. You might have to change your undies for this one...I almost wet my pants a couple of times. There is no control with Laurie, Krissy and Bobbie but it's always a good time. This podcast was probably a hot mess but we had fun - even the audience was a mess!

Every year, two Alexis boys return to their hometown to help one of their long-time friends with harvest. While they travel here to do some hard work with long hours, they do find time to fit in some fun and laughs. If you know of any girls who fit the term "chatty kathy", you obviously have not met these fellas yet. This is the longest podcast yet and could have been longer if I hadn't shut them down. Although Heath had so many st...

It isn't often that people ask me to be on the podcast or tell me that a certain group needs to "represent" but when they do, we make it happen! I was told that we needed some "younger" guests and so I made them come on. Marly asked and so she grabbed Maggie and it worked out perfectly. I'll be honest, it wasn't easy but is was fun and these girls are a hoot! Please remember to share, review, follow and keep coming back! New songs ...

Gimpys is a local treasure but it is the people of Gimpys who are the real gems! Tiffany and Misha are two of the best. They are so fun and take no shit! We probably could have recorded for three hours, rambling on forever. So if you are ever in this area and want some good bar food mixed with some great people, Gimpys is the place!

Some people have cousins who become forever friends and that is the case with these two. Dana Shull Hoefer and Nicole Butcher Brown are "built-in" best friends and although it took forever to convince them to come on the podcast, it was, of course, full of laughs. I am lucky enough to spend a lot of time with them in one way or another and I'm so glad you get to experience their craziness that I love. Please remember to share, revi...

So a lot of you have been asking for it and here they are...Puck, Spider and Jerry Butcher! They've been around this town for awhile and are always fun to chat with. They know all about Alexis and are great for some laughs! They were a little nervous about podcasting and we should have just kept recording after it was over because that is when the stories really got good :) Please remember to share, review, follow and keep coming b...

If you have a sister, you are lucky...especially if your sister is anything like mine! Even though my sister lives in Florida, we are very close and when she made a quick trip home, I convinced her to podcast with me. We always laugh when we are together and spent time talking about our lives when we were growing up in Alexis and even now. Please remember to share, review, follow and keep coming back!

Sometimes just conversation and drinks with friends is all you need! Jen and Jori make for a fun hour even though we talk to each other all the time. They were so nervous but sounded like pros. This episode just goes to show that first, good friends can be found later in life and second, no one should be scared to come and podcast with me!

Belly laughs are a given when you ramble with Loren Follmer! Even though he isn't from the Village, he lives close by and you may recognize his voice from 97.7. We finally get to talk "off air" and about all the things you can't say on the radio. We are both addicted to people watching, especially at the beach and at the airport! Loren is one of the funniest and most positive people I know and I'm sure you will enjoy the banter. He...

Happiness is meeting up with old friends after time apart! One of my longtime friends, Tina Kohn, came to town to catch up. So this podcast is what happens when one of your favorites that you haven't seen in way too long comes to town. We may have "chatted" too long before we started recording so I apologize if it sounds like we've had a few beers! She may not have grown up in the Village but knows some people who have. We remember...

Sorry for the delay everyone...life happens! Remember All, not every episode will be about Alexis specifically but my friends, people from small towns and other cool cats, will always be on to ramble about topics from a small town perspective. So to get back on track, I brought back two willing victims to show you other potential guests what "rambings" is all about. As always, real talk and no edits so please share, review, follow ...
