Dicklebacks and a Bid for Connection

Ever wondered what sticker collecting reveals about your competitive edge? Our latest episode peels off the facade to explore the simple joys and friendly rivalries that national park stickers can spur among enthusiasts. We wax poetic about the therapeutic allure of sticker placement for the meticulously-minded, and share a chuckle over the confounding disdain puzzles evoke in others. Pets, too, join in the fun with their hilarious puzzle piece heists, demonstrating how their mischief is woven into the fabric of our daily lives. And when it comes to personal grooming, we're baring it all – discussing the trials of unwashed hair and debating the merits of a sumptuous bath over a quick shower.

Strap in for an emotional ride as we uncover the lighter and darker shades of public life. Locked down by a snowy blanket reminiscent of the pandemic's early days, we open up about the rollercoaster of cabin fever and the coping mechanisms that keep us afloat. The chapter doesn't shy away from examining the intricate dance of self-worth and self-compassion, all while finding solace in the shared misheard lyrics and melodies of our youth. And as if that weren't enough, we've got the tunes to prove it – singing along to "Wagon Wheel" and dissecting the origins of the songs that have shaped our lives.

Your taste buds won't want to miss our culinary adventures as we dish about the best pizza joint in Nashville and the infamous 'dickleback' shot that ties a bow on the night out. But don't let the savory detour fool you; we're also tackling winter's gritty charm, from the universal frustrations of customer service to the peculiarities of seasonal home maintenance. And just when you think you've heard it all, we discuss the potential joy of an Alaskan cruise and the unexpected topic of bladder hammocks. Join us and our special guests for a smorgasbord of topics that promises laughter, learning, and a hefty sprinkle of life's unpredictable seasoning.
