Cone Of Silence

Surprise, kiddos! We're back. It's been a long run of busy nights and exhausted days, but with @Just1Jen in town we knew we had to dust off the mics and get back on podcast game! It's a long episode, but in order to get back in the podcast saddle we just wanted to let it ride a bit.

There's a whole bunch of new words out there - at least according to Merriam-Webster there is. So we talk about some of those, we talk about the concert tour that we've been on, the worst parts of music venues, and obviously a bunch of other random stuff.

We're so old we just talk about our doctors appointments on this episode.

AI, describe this episode in the first person with the tone of a murder mystery novel: As I listened to the podcast episode, I couldn't help but feel intrigued by the two speakers' light-hearted and humorous conversation. They spoke of many things, but what caught my attention were the challenges they faced while editing their podcast. It was as if they were hiding something. As the conver...

Out of 4,000,000 podcasts (that's an actual number), apparently only 18% of podcasts get to 10 episodes, so weeeeee're basically crushing it. Even though Chris was grumpy and Es was trying to keep this episode on track, but we do our best to celebrate all things TEN.

Rachel (the Millen-Z Oracle) is with us to build bridges between millennials and gen-z, unintentionally causing Chris & Es to feel ancient. We talk about gen-z lingo, TikTok, astrology, and why Seinfeld isn't a show about nothing, it's a show about "icks."
