The Jack and Cathy (Shit) Show

In this episode, we come to grips with the impact of packing up a home, getting ready for a move and facing the reality of combining two homes into one. Clutter seems to rise to the top.  In some way it seems we are the modern day version of Noah's Ark only this time it's not animals that arrive two-by-two, its pairs of pots, pans, televisions and more.  We will get through it. Because t...

In this episode. we answer a question from one of our listeners: How did you two meet? If there's any takeaway from this episode it's simply this: We never expected our first date to go anywhere; for Jack, the date was to burn some time so as to not sit in traffic, for Cathy, it was to enjoy someone's company for a evening after work. We have been inseparable ever since. Defying odds? Only time wi...

In this episode, we are all over the place. We were tired as all hell  when we recorded this episode, all from watching Jack's sister's puppy;  probably had something to do with the relentless rambling throughout the  episode.    And yet we found a way to get on track and finally talk about what we  changed in our lives that allowed us to find one another. We let go o...

In this episode, we talk about buying a house together, and how much our lives together operate at such an accelerated pace ... and yet it feels  so right!   It took losing a house to learn more about one another and be better prepared for the house that landed in our lap.    "It's about us ..."   Recorded 03/11/2022  #jackandcathyshitshow

In this episode, we talk about meeting Cathy's ex and us sharing time with Cathy's family.  In back-to-back weekends, we dove head first into the deep end of the pool, meeting exes, joining families and more.    A good lesson for anyone trying to figure out such dynamics.    Recorded: 3/1/2022  #jackandcathyshitshow

In this episode, we discuss our meeting of each other's exes. This first time, Cathy spends time with Jack and his ex at a family baseball event.  Had all the potential to be an awkward encounter. We talk about how we (all parties) navigated this relationship dynamic of blended families.   Recorded 2/22/2022  #jackandcathyshitshow

In this episode we talk about a couple of challenges that hit us. We  decided to put a bid on a house and may not have been quite ready for  the stress that such an endeavor may create. We weren't quite sure how  to resolve conflict and found us hit a speed bump.    Then we went to a small get-together with some friends of Cathy's  putting a small strain on the relati...

In this episode we talk about the kids meeting one another on an annual  ski trip for Jack's Family. It's the first time anyone other than Jack  and his kids went on the trip. Add Cathy, Cathy's daughter and Cathy's  daughter's boyfriend and the potential for challenges exists.   All part of being in a modern relationship, especially after divorce and  certainly at ou...

Our first podcast. It might be a bit rough. We weren't quite sure what we were doing. And yet, here it is. The next few episode will be a bit smoother ... maybe.   #jackandcathyshitshow
