People watching during the eclipse

People watching during the eclipse

Instead of looking up, I decided to look around...at people.  I was blinded by the lunacy of humanity, and I'll share five simply crazy things I observed…with no special glasses needed.

Monday? Who likes a Monday?

Monday? Who likes a Monday?

Monday, yeah we're talking about Monday.

Look on the bright side, at least Mondays only happen once a week.

An episode about that dreaded "M" word and all the things that drive us crazy about this very special part of our work week. A bit of verbal therapy for every Friday person living in a Monday world.

Stuck on Stickers

Stuck on Stickers

Sticker? I hardly ... (you know the joke)

Big ones, small ones, political ones, rude ones, crude ones.  Stickers!  And today you see them everywhere, and for many of us, we're not happy about it.  So let's rant a bit about this sticky subject.

Something that happens everyday, whether we want it to or not.  You overhear other people's conversations…maybe they hear yours. You'll hear a lot about humanity and their crazy daily problems just by listening in on this episode.  Like the 80% of us that listen in on other people almost every day.

Do you have a sense of humor?

Do you have a sense of humor?

Life can be funny…but you need a sense of humor. Experts say there are more types of humor than colors of M&M's.  Let's chat about each with a few bite-sized sweet dad jokes for them all.  (WARNING:  This rant has more fart jokes than any other of these smelly episodes)

Meteorologists: feeling under the weather about them?

Meteorologists: feeling under the weather about them?

One thing 330 million people in the USA all agree on: Weather People are just wrong…all the time.

Well, we are wrong about them being wrong.  Don't get the wrong idea, I predict this episode will take on our complaints by storm, maybe even beat the raining champion on something we talk about every day. (see what I did there?)

Pick One: A hot or cold shower

Pick One: A hot or cold shower

About half of us like them hot, and the other half like them cold.  Whichever your choice behind the curtain, there's no stalling on the stats of the benefits of both.  A temperature tirade that will work you up into a lather on an episode that as usual, is all wet.

Who doesn't wear jewelry? You?

Who doesn't wear jewelry? You?

The number of bling free people is ballooning.  No gold, no silver, no nothing…maybe a watch. 3 out of 4 of us are wearing less these days…we've got some (precious) stones to share why we're not and why that's okay.

A bowl of nuts

A bowl of nuts

A nutty conversation that began with the question: Are peanut butter cookies nut free? A lunatic legume lament over a favorite people snack that always causes chaos whether in a cookie or a bowl at your next party.

Which Christmas lights light you up? Color or white?

Which Christmas lights light you up? Color or white?

Let shine some light hearted light on something we dread to do, but love to look at. As in sports, enjoy the play-by-play of where all the festive fun came from and of course we'll add some color about our decorating action.

Becoming a senior citizen

Becoming a senior citizen

Don't let your age get you down, you may not be able to get back up. You're officially now "old". What does that mean? (other than us making fun of you)

One out of 3 of us do not decorate at all…some, well let's just say they're on the other end of the bell curve.  Why do we, why don't we show our festive feelings not just around Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah, but any time of the year.

Whether animal, vegetable or mineral, they are things we fell in love with, until we loved something else. Let's talk school crushes, toys, TV, tech and how you deal with this chemical reaction in your brain.

Hangovers!

Hangovers!

Claims, complaints, causes (hint: there's really only one) and cures.

And the debate of who gets more hangovers.  The answer never gets old.

Beautiful people: Who are they?

Beautiful people: Who are they?

We see them every day.  Beautiful (AKA pretty) people.  What makes them beautiful, how many of them are there, and do you know you may just be one of them too? Some of the trends are pretty scary. (see what I did there?)

Birthday Cards!

Birthday Cards!

We all have birthdays, but do we all get birthday cards?  Who gets them, who sends them? (You do…DON'T YOU?) And yes a few dad jokes about birthday cards in the mail.  Are they any good? Of course, but it was easy: it's all in the delivery.

Sep 11, 202313:03
Make a choice: This or That?

Make a choice: This or That?

We make 35 thousand choices every day (per the experts).  In many cases, it's down to choosing between two:  this or that.

Food, clothing, vacation spots, travel, work…even what podcast you chose to listen to.  Thanks for choosing THIS one.  ;0)

People who are always right!

People who are always right!

I may be mistaken, but many people think they're always right. And that may include you and me…sometimes. A chat about handling these folks, things we're all in error about…most of the time, like history, sports, friends and family.  An episode about being right all the time…what could go wrong?

You want ice in your drink?

You want ice in your drink?

Half of us like it and half of us not so much: Ice in your beverage.  And it's a real American thing. The rest of the world thinks we're crazy Ice holes!

So grab a drink, choose from the different types of ice cubes we discuss, and chill over an episode that all started because I put ice in my beer.

Are you shy?

Maybe the reason you're quiet around people isn't because you’re shy, it's because they bother you!

Who said they couldn't wait for hot weather?

Who said they couldn't wait for hot weather?

Whether we're hot or cold, we like to complain about the weather.  But which do we like better? The heat or sweater weather? A little hot-under-the-collar conversation about what we like and why…even though we will still whine about it.
