BRING IT ON 2019
Ciao 2018! Don’t let the door hit you on the tuchas! Hello 2019! Bring. It. On.

Happy Tuesday and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Goodbye 2018 you BEEEYOTCH. Today we talk about New Year resolutions. You either love them or hate them, you either keep them or break them. What are your resolutions for this year? Any money on the table on how fast you are going to wash your hands of them? Or do you have a wonderful, healthy strategy for helping you succeed in your life changes?

Today is all about the most common resolutions people make. We talk about the average time it takes for people to break their resolutions but also cover ideas about how to create realistic goals and the tools that are available to help keep you on track. So if you’re wanting to stop smoking, start working out, meditate, eat healthy, read more, learn a new skill, take up a hobby, fulfill a bucket list, lose weight, be more positive, travel more, get a new job, buy a house, save money….guess what: there’s an app for helping you with that.

We also talk about our own goals and strategies. Any bets on the first resolution we talk about NOT trying to do?

Hint: it’s fucking obvious, duh.

** side-eye **

But no matter what happens with our personal resolutions, we do resolve as your cohosts and cohorts to bring you 52 weeks of non-stop chatter, mispronounced words, creative facts, laughter, and lots of opinions. You’re welcome. SO…here’s to more coffee, more abstract conversations, and lots and lots of goofiness. Bring it on 2019. We are ready to meet you head on.

Good luck with your own goals, and we wish you all good health, beautiful love, joyfulness, prosperity, and friendship! We are excited to bring you a brand new year of fun and thank you for all your support!

Cards Against Halloween

Tony Kris Kym

Kris and Kym go on location AGAIN, but this time it’s local. We have a rousing game of a Cards Against Humanity-inspired game with Joe, Tony, and Heather at their house. It was so fun even the spiders and the dogs joined in. Yep. You read it. Kris gets visited yet again by a dangling 8-legged monster (ok, it was a teeeeensy baby spider but seriously, Kris is DONE with the arachnids floating in her face).

This episode definitely has a NSFW and NSFK warning (not safe for work, and definitely not safe for kids) for good reason. If you’re a shade tight-assed, curmudgeonly, conservative, sensitive, humor-challenged, or juvenile (literally), you might just think about passing on this episode and join us next week for a tamer show about cemeteries.

There’s a LOT of laughing and a LOT of counting cards (Kris can’t seem to keep track of the rules), and a LOT of blushing (mostly on Joe’s part) as the raunchy jokes are flung with flailing arms and maniacal cackling. No. But that would have made a terrific video. Honestly though, the deeper we get into the weeds, the more wheezy giggles and gusty guffaws take over. So sit back, close your eyes and pretend you’re in the room playing along.

Coffee with Friends
Coffee is always better with friends on game night!

Why are you still here? Go listen to the fun. Give in to your guilty pleasure. Allow yourself to fall to the dark side of  CARDS AGAINST HALLOWEEN!

Marriage-Whys

Marriage-Whys Advice

Kris and Kym welcome Kim (yes, not confusing at all, we know) to the show to talk about the whys and hows of long term relationships.

Alright, alright…we talk about…THE “M” WORD.

Not Mississippi. Not a magnolia. Not a monkey. Not a mountebankery. We don’t even know what a mountebankery is.

Nope. (We DO talk about mischief though.)

MARRIAGE.

Hey, look. Amongst us there are (more than two) divorces and a 31 year wedding anniversary. Guess who has the answers to those pesky “why?” and “how?” and “no, seriously, WTF?” and “REALLY, HOW HOW HOW?” questions? Wanna guess who is asking most of those questions? Kris says “hallooo!”

But honestly, there’s some really great insights (and quite a few guffaws) about the ups and downs of having a committed, intimate relationship with one person or an entire lifetime.

One of us is still confused, but learning every day.

And who’s putting bets on Kym having a story about some kind of shenanigans she was up to back in the day? Possibly even last week?

Golly. You’ll just have to give it a listen to find out!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!

By the way, the definition of mountebankery is: 1 : a person who sells quack medicines from a platform. 2 : a boastful unscrupulous pretender : charlatan. Your challenge this week is to use the word mountebankery in a sentence, preferably with pointed finger and a confused onlooker.

Episode 08: Catch-up Short Shot

Greetings! Happy Friday! Here’s a short shot episode where Kris and Kym play catch-up! We talk about the week that was, and boy was it PACKED! The latest California fire began about 5 miles from Kris’s office, there was an ER visit, foot surgery, a semi-retirement announcement (creative math was involved), a couple special mail deliveries (one was our custom made Pop Socket!), and travel, travel, travel!!! There’s also discussion about how the city of Santa Ana has changed and how Kris missed a golden opportunity to be part of an Irish punk folk band. Let’s just say accordions….sort of rock.

Today is all about catching up with each other and with YOU.
