Doing the Most with Scarlet and Mitchell

We’re in the double digits, y’all! In this milestone episode, we go deep on adult friendships—why they’re hard, how they change, and what “soul friends” really are. Plus: forgotten corrections, spontaneous memory dives, old lady hairdos, and an actual count of the fans in our house (hint: it’s six). Also in this episode: Real talk about friendship guilt, ghosting, and growing apart Random childhoo...

We are back with stories of baby birds, graduation ceremonies, and an unexpected decluttering intervention. Scarlet forces Mitchell to face his “emotional hoarder” tendencies in a hilarious showdown over an old poster and some random books. They also explore why some men never stop coughing, how to spot bad diner etiquette, and whether being rich is ever worth the social pressure. Topics include:...

In this slice-of-life episode, we dive into the everyday chaos of homeownership, dental checkups, plumbing woes, and the ultimate Portland pie experience, called Lauretta Jean’s. It’s part vent session, part food review, and 100% real-life energy. Whether it’s rants about iPhone keyboard flaws or existential sighs over adulthood, this episode is full of laughs, relatable stories, and a...

Back at it, after our vacation to Arizona! Too much to catch up on and too little time. Do you, or someone you know, struggle with thick mucus residing in the nasopharyngeal region, exacerbated by seasonal allergies, and requiring obnoxious snorting-like noises to clear the aforementioned mucus? Then we have no solutions for you, rather, just harsh criticism from Scarlet. But at least you will kno...

Not unexpectedly, a fortnight has not changed the world, nor us, by much. This time however we get a little touchy-feely as we discuss time and parenting, along with some of life’s struggles to find fulfillment and actualization. What would you do with $100 million dollars? What would you do if time were not an issue? Of course we tackle other compelling topics, as you know if you have been...

So what do you do when it is cold and rainy outside? As it turns out, Scarlet has remedied that situation by having Mitchell assemble a porch swing…. in the family room. Which, as it turns out, is yet another wonderful place for cats, namely Kennedy, to now sit. (Well, actually, swing.) This episode continues to follow the saga of cleaning the garage out and the conundrum of donating to your...

Famous words from a three and half year old: “Don’t look at me!!” Oh, Dr. Becky, I need to stop podcasting and read your book before it is too late. Our boy is not out of control. In fact, the problem is more likely to be the nuts that are raising him… or trying to. This fortnight’s episode continues the discussion of the feline fecal frenzy that is our laundry room a...

First off, what is this show really about? Really, really?? Ultimately, we are just a couple with everyday problems, struggles, and issues. We laugh, we cry, we get on each other’s nerves, and we love each other. This show is your opportunity to join us, reflect on your own relationships, have a laugh, learn what not to do, and hopefully, escape the mainstream deluge of politics. If that sou...

Well, we did it. We made a second episode, despite the fact that we are full time nurses with full plates. And did I mention the five cats, the teenager, and the toddler? In this episode we check in on Project Skid Mark, the semi-experiment to see how skid marks actually come to be. We also do a review of the teas we mentioned in episode 1 (a review that seems to be at once both long and yet uninf...

Well, it’s out now. I think. First episodes are always the hardest to get published quite frankly. (Second episodes are usually hardest to record, by the way.) It has been a long road to get here, but, I hope the road continues and smooths out. Only time will tell if we stand the test of time. (Thank you Sammy Hagar, for such inspiring words that are really redundant.) So, what is this episo...
