In this episode co-hosts Kristina Stykos and Emily Howe discuss a rough week, digestive tea, soothing liquids, an update for Kristina’s lawn aeration job, a dog urine dilemma, being not liked, tip-toers of the world, the Viking role model, a fancy word for a fancy sideboard, where Florida meets Namaste, when Mom forgets how old you are, a few seconds of bliss, cheese denial, how a banana made things worse, the collateral damage of fake flavoring, confusing new road markings, touch screen mania, zoning out as meditation, a delusion fueled by trippy, spaced-out mowing, what it means to be a one-car family, a fake car explosion, the manipulation of a forced hug, not wanting to make a scene, the truth behind “taking the high road”, a stupid little moment, the toxic cocktail of compliance and abuse, lyrics gone awry as in “the girl with colitis goes by”, keeping your dictionary at bay because it’s easier to call your sister, the bubbling nature of our friendships, deleting happy people from your social media feed, saying stupid things repeatedly, first day of school faux pas en masse, telling jokes to make people feel welcome, the folks who hate you anyway, kudos to dump truck drivers, a special backhoe strip test, what sticks really are, pruning as a nurturing act, 24/7 dishevelment, virtue signaling with glasses, bolstering the marks of a superior intelligence - and so much more!
