OneConversation

We revisit holiday traditions new and old, laugh, learn about why Jack doesn't Origami anymore, and share some love.

Our friend Kandi ACTUALLY stops over for dinner and laughs. She is our storyteller so buckle up for just a snippet of what we talked about around the One Conversation table.

In this episode we revisit a conversation that made us laugh about the red flags from the beginning of our relationships. Then we move to a play by play commentary full of laughs and mishaps as we try to craft together. Adult language.

Our Halloween episode mixes a tiny spooky story to get you thinking about weird stuff that has happened to you with Jack's question of the week, which is honestly a good one. Happy Halloween friends!!

Part 2 with Mr. Brown, and you will feel the calming energy! Learn the origin stories, Jack finally gets to ask his question, and we get an early preview of what's next for Michael Brown! This one will bring your energy up and your frequency down. If you need a relaxing moment that still has the giggles, this is it Look for the book: Burdens and Blessings by Michael Brown coming SOON!

Another empty nester weighs in on neighbors, the kindness circle, and how parenting has changed.

I'm having some struggles with motivation. Hence the rock reference. Quick 20 min catch up as we resettle into the norm of our lives.

Season 2 restart. We took a minute, reconfigured and are BACK AT IT AGAIN! Sending kids back off to college and starting back with those conversations to just give you a 30 min giggle. Contact us to be on the show!!

Jack's brother Tom and his wife Jenn meet us at the dinner table for rapid-fire questions. Who am I kidding? We don't do anything without a bit o'rambling!! We chat about movies from the 80s that still have us looking under the beds and what makes you never nostalgic for home! We are taking next week off for a 21st birthday celebration but catch us in 2 weeks for a Valentine's spec...

The drive-thru sagas continue on part 2 of this conversation. We discuss what kids need to know to go to college (get the soapboxes ready) and the new unlocked fear of Alaskan mosquitos!

We welcome 2025 with two of our favorites on this one, blow out our mics from laughing so hard, talk grandma names, roundabouts, and why being left-handed better prepares you for the world. This is part 1 of 2. We couldn't say goodbye.

Private dinner date musings with Jack and Carrie. We discuss our failure to launch a Bavarian dessert, the evolution of the Amish "light," and the wonders of soda. We also delve into, briefly, the first holiday struggles after beginning the empty nest stage of our lives.

We talk to an OG empty nester from the Great White North - Bonnie E.! We learn about redneck Christmas and fun with phone call karaoke. Have a safe and happy new year! Thank you for joining us for One Conversation in 2024.

Reconnecting with fellow empty nester, Christy (and Kent) over what we're doing, what our kids are doing, and what it's like to have them back for the holiday break. We sprinkled in a few stories about how grown-ups suck. This one ends with a little heart moment.

We open the holiday season with our guest Misty, who has been suffering through Jack's questions for years! Spoiled dogs, bird watching, and another realization about how weird Carrie is (week 3 battling the head cold so she's off her game) sums up this dinner conversation.

Sit down with someone who understands what snow really is!! Welcome Heather, our friend from Canada. Oh yea, we went international. Get some dirty turkey tips, plan a rebranding for the Canadian police, and giggle through the circle of trust. Excuse the end credits, I'm too tired to crank up the volume :)

We decided to make any new content this week since everyone came home to the dinner table. Enjoy just us chatting it up after a guest needed to reschedule back in the beginning of November.

Reconnecting with and introducing Jack to a friend who has made a fine art of straddling the Mason-Dixon Line. Welcome Jess Rinker, published children's author, self-proclaimed nerd, and fellow empty nester to dinner.

One of our "oldest" friends comes to dinner! We discuss all the dailies that make me realize I'm getting old, we relive parenting the teenage years, and pose the question every parent has asked, "Where are all the spoons?"

The oldest and last kiddo to join (who we get next!) one-conversation at dinner arrives. We take a trip down Halloween lane, get dewormed, and decide how to handle mass hysteria.

Hot dogs, Girl Dad, what food not to eat in front of people. More random ramblings with the family

Random hotel silly chat and diving into the new "Hear Me Out" trend with our little birdie, the college freshman

Carrie tries to learn a new audio editing program. We talk about pressures from salespersons and political texts. It goes downhill from there!

We check in on some boomers after Hurricane Milton hit their Florida home, recall intrusive thoughts caused by an awesome new true crime podcast, and relive some past kitchen appliances that bring joy.

We are recent empty nesters and this was our first try at recreating the silly conversations we used to have with our kids. Our middle child stops in via phone to play along. We talk about bumper stickers, mustaches, and how far can you go with an empty gas tank.
