Just Need Some Buffer Time
December 18, 2023 22:32In this episode we jump in discussing the book Lindsey is working on. (Lorenzo seems a little butthurt that she hasn’t asked him to read it.) But, for real. We all need a little downtime. Right? Is it childish to play video games at 40? Probably. Is it selfish to prioritize what’s on your phone over your kids? I don’t know. Does our brain need a bit of downtime in this crazy life? Absolutely. We hope you have a healthy escape. We’re leaning, too. Get in touch: Parenting vs. Podcast c...
Keefe Chambers is a Saint!
August 10, 2023 21:28You heard me. This guy steals the show in my opinion. If you haven't seen the righteous gemstones on HBO yet, ya gotta check it out.

Creativity and stuf
July 02, 2023 03:30Creativity... What does it mean to be creative? I asked the large language model and this is what she said. that are original and meaningful. It involves the process of combining existing knowledge, skills, and experiences in novel and imaginative ways to produce something unique and innovative. Being creative means having the capacity to think divergently, break away from conventional patterns, and approach problems or tasks from fresh perspectives. AI chatbots aren't creative yet.

Come With Us On a Journey Through Space and ADHD Time-blindness
June 15, 2023 04:23This is a journey. Try and stick with us for this hour and a half recording and if you do, you've earned what is coming to you. Respect. Pure respect. That didn't make any sense. I wish I would have asked ChatGPT to write this. But seriously, who reads these anyway? Not me. Our talk on ADHD. Enjoy.
Purveyor of Street Justice
December 02, 2022 23:28Okay, we're pretty bad at this whole keeping up with stuff. This podcast was recorded on October 29, 2022. Hopefully we didn't say anything bad in this recording.

Hun, Where Are My Birks?!
May 28, 2022 16:53Where are Lindsey's Birkenstocks? Also, where's are dang American Dream? We don't know the answer to any of these questions.

In The Can
April 17, 2022 16:12This episode has been "in the can" of some time. We recorded it on 4/3/22 but I just got around to editing it today. Also, what the heck is "in the can" anyway? I guess it's just radio or recording lingo. Yeah, looks like it's an old recording term. The "can", in our case is our iPhone with the Shure Mic attached. This episode has been there for a while. What am I even talking about? Does anyone even read this? I could go on and on talking about whatever I wanted with a fair amount of con...
Bird Nerding
March 26, 2022 22:28Bird nerding. That's what we called this episode. I think we briefly talked about birds in our discussion? Birds aren't the only thing we discussed. We went into the nitty-gritty. Talked about our faith a bit. Got interrupted by kids a few times. It was a good time, maybe. We hope you enjoy. What are we listening to?

Becoming Irrelevant
December 31, 2021 22:56Okay, so the last two years seems to have passed by in like three months. It feels like life is accelerating faster than a Tesla S Plaid, and we're left in the dust with our iPods and Burt's Tiki Lounge. In this episode we talked about what it feels like to be behind in technology, in fashion. We're not really that young anymore, and that can feel weird sometimes. We hope you enjoy this episode.

August 09, 2021 21:23It's been a little while. Some major life changes ongoing, forgive us. We hope you're doing well!

PDX Reflections In a Park
April 10, 2021 18:00Lindsey and I had the chance to just sit down and reflect on our move to the PNW and Portland. It's been a challenge, as we expected.

Finding A Dang Babysitter
March 17, 2021 22:03It's been a little while since we've had a date night since we've moved. We're ready. Luckily, we think we found a good sitter. Life's changed for us. We no longer have our parents in the same town who are kinda sorta ready to watch our kids for us while we take a break. A whole new world. In this episode we talk about it. The songs we played were Norupo by Heilung, and Elevator by Holy Holy. Check them out! Also, please check out Barelas Podcaster's Guild, All Sick. Podcast, and Southwe...

I mean, just because you can doesn't mean that you should. Right? That's where we're at on this one. We talk about holographic images, sci-fi feeling possible futures for us, and how we feel about social media (again). We also go into the past, how it looks on recorded videos, our fascination with recording our own history, etc. ...

Breweries With Kids?
December 22, 2020 18:07Should you bring your kids with you to a brewery? We discussed this question and a few other topics. We're also still adjusting to our new location, Portland, Oregon. We talk about that a bit. Then we go on to talk about what we're listening to. We even played the songs on a MacBook Air, so the sound quality of those songs isn't great (although the MacBook Air speakers are surprisingly good). We recommend that you go check out the songs on your own. Adjusting to a new place is hard. Podca...

Karens and Macaroons
December 16, 2020 14:25The pandemic has put us all under a lot of pressure. We find ourselves at the edge of sanity more than we'd like. It's no surprise then, that it seems there are more videos surfacing of "Karens" lashing out at people on the streets, and at neighborhood Starbucks. We're just trying to keep calm ourselves, and maybe reflect on the times we've been Karens ourselves. Be kind to each other, especially the ones you're quarantined with.

The Algorithm Made Me Do It
November 22, 2020 18:03This might be our longest podcast episode ever. It's a stitching of a few different recording sessions. I like it, though. It feels like a metaphor for parenting. You have great thoughts, but get interrupted constantly and have to pick up where you left off later. In this one we talk about The Algorithm. We watched a documentary on Netflix called The Social Dilemma. That doc was a good one, talking about privacy, social media influence, and how the algorithm helps to shape who we are and th...

Giving Grace
September 11, 2020 01:33Time is moving slow and fast at the same time. How is this even possible? Every day begins the same--I wake up between 5:30 and 6. I stumble to the coffee pot then make coffee. I clean the dishes in the sink if there are any. Then I sit on my patio chair outside and watch the sun come up and wait for the chaos and noise that awaits when the all the kids wake up. Every. Day. Begins. The. Same. Way. It's like groundhog day, but with more masks, and less friends. It's no wonder 6 months felt ...

We brought up the Albuquerque journal article about the impact of sending our kids to school. You can find that here.

Bird Nerds
May 13, 2020 17:04 - 130 MBBeing home has allowed us to really appreciate nature. We talk about our feelings, nature, birds, kids, and Mother's Day. It's good to just sit with your parent and reflect. I think that's one thing a lot of couples don't do...reflect. It feels so energizing to our relationship when we can be honest with how we feel, share our goals, our desires, our everything, without the fear of being judged, or not heard. Also, it's good to just sit down and talk about bird facts. We do some of that in th...

Well, maybe that's wishful thinking. Isolation does some...interesting things to people. We've had to take into account *gasp* each other's feelings, thoughts, and wishes. Well, in marriage its good practice to do anyway. I'm hoping all this has just allowed us to work those muscles that we need to have a solid marriage. Eit...

Finding Our New Normal
April 08, 2020 17:34Finding a new normal. Many people are experiencing this new reality. It's interesting to me how important our routine is to us. Even the youngest of us realize when routine is thrown off. This week we're over the freak out of realizing there's a deadly disease permeating the globe, and we're ready to do what we need to do to limit the spread, and balance contenting life at the same time. Emotions are weird right now, and I think this comes though on the podcast. We ask for grace as you liste...
How You Living!? (Corona Style)
March 28, 2020 21:54The global pandemic COVID-19 has taken us by surprise and we've all had to build the plane as we're flying, as the saying goes. Parents across the country are having to learn how to balance working from home while keeping their kids entertained and educated. It's hard, but we have found that there have been some unexpected lessons that parents are learning. We hope this podcast episode finds you healthy as we weather this storm together.

Isolationist Anniversary
March 21, 2020 23:25It's our anniversary. 11 years of marriage. In this episode we talk about how we're dealing with the global pandemic that is COVID-19 while still celebrating each other. And what do you do during your anniversary during a pandemic? Luckily in New Mexico there are lots of open spaces where it's easy to isolate. We visited Mogollon, NM, a ghost town, and drove down dusty roads near Silver City, NM. The episode we were referencing on Lindsey's podcast can be found at https://www.whatsupabq.com/...

Hey America, Save Us a Piece of That Corn
March 17, 2020 02:00Yeah, don't hoard the corn. If you hoard the corn, then there's not enough to go around. But seriously, the times we're living in are surreal. People are clearing out grocery stores, buying up all the toilet paper, pasta, meats, canned food, even ramen. We hope it'll be okay. We also hope this episode finds you well. If you're quarentied, or social distancing, perhaps we can find a spot in our podcast rotation. Thanks if we do. If you're curious about the enneagram, Sandra has an amazing in...

February 28, 2020 20:55If you're into ASMR then you'll really be into this episode. But seriously? What's up with ASMR? We just don't understand it. And that's okay. There are things that we don't understand and we don't have to understand. To us though, eating and weird noises can be annoying to each other. That's marriage though, right? We look past the things that annoy us and move forward, looking more towards the things that we love about each other. So, we ask you, dear listener, to do the same. We'll be slur...

January 15, 2020 21:53What does it look like to love yourself? We've both gone through periods of time where we just don't like ourselves. I think it's important to care about yourself so that you're ready to love others. Maybe I'm wrong. We kinda talk through this idea on this episode. Enjoy!

In the Thick of Your Adultness
October 26, 2019 17:56There comes a time in your life... In this episode we discussed what it's like to feel like you've made the wrong decision. We feel like our 30s have been self discovery, trying to discern what is worth dedicating our lives to. It's been a series of mistakes in parenting, in our careers, in our marriage. Now, we're trying to find out where to go. The journey isn't over, but this is us trying to talk through some of it. Enjoy!

First World Problems and Four Kids
September 07, 2019 18:42We've all got our issues... We all experience privilege in our own way. We're trying to navigate how to have empathy for others, deal with the problems we have, and not minimize the problems of others. (Especially those who we perceive to have more "privilege" than we do.) And...raising three is hard (for us). But, raising four, even if it's just for a week, is harder. Enjoy!
