Adventures of Jote and the Donkeys

Wisdom, growth, and the meaning of life—what only time can teach. After months apart, separated by oceans and then states, the three amigos are finally reunited for realsies. Jote picked the donkeys up and we drove to Dairy Queen or La Reina de Leche. We got some good, yummy treats and we closed the store so we had to kick ourselves out. We caught up a bit on the lives of each other, learning that Jote has a NEW NEW husband (this one’s on thin ice though). Donkey 1 also learned that she was invited to Friendsgiving but Donkey 2 did not wish for that and sabotaged HER (shrug emoji, right Donkey 2?!?). But she finally was extended an invite after long debate. The night (or thus far) was concluded with a drive through beautiful neighborhood Christmas lights and back to the random landscaping building with even more lights that we podcasted at previously. Growth is always great, but some things are better the same.

How to keep a balanced lifestyle and stay balanced physically and send off Livvy. Agent Jote and Agent Donkey 2 lay stealthily and scare unsuspecting Donkey 1. After a difficult, lonely, desperate, miserable, challenging time apart, the three are finally reunited. We sat in Livvy’s front lawn, looked at the stars, figured out snapchat, ate some stolen Rice Krispies, and had some awkward passersby all in one episode. Kellyn also spit up. Livvy has two husbands and they drooled. We will watch Mamma Mia eventually. Then the herd will disperse, bidding farewell to Jote as she journeys to find balance in Jawaii. And remember kids, Eat Fast -Jimmy Johns™️.

In this episode we spoke of the New Year: new resolutions, new experiences, new beginnings. The biggest takeaway of the podcast: make sure you live your life with all emotion and take everything personally. Either live with sadness or extreme happiness. We went to Dunn Bros and tried the chai tea latte, discovered latte does not mean coffee, cried about our crew separating and shared experiences and new memories in the new year, and opened band gifts - our new single will be coming out soon. The group will be separated for awhile because there was a fight between Natalie and Livvy, although they promised to make peace and secretly know Kellyn is the most important member of the group. For those two of you still checking up to the new year, good luck. (Written by Kellyn)

Kellyn prioritizes a movie over her sister wives, delaying their pick up for an hour. Once reunited, the wives drive around and look at Christmas lights and talk about their Christmas adventures and gifts, such Kellyn’s time as a pioneer. They reminisce over Kellyn’s silly text disasters and also celebrate Livvy’s new unqualified selection anointment inauguration election as a marching band guide for her university. Natalie is learning French.

Jote and Donkey 1 drive to the Underworld (Iowa) in search of the deceased Donkey 2. Will they be reunited? Or will they have lost an essential member of their pack for good? (Spoiler Alert: Donkey 2 was found—We get in trouble at the dining hall, hike, eat ice cream, look at Christmas lights, learn the Flukey Luke, and ask Donkey 2 personal questions while also examining how we got to where we are today.

How to maximize time and saying goodbye to Kellyn. Kellyn picks us up 30min late, Kellyn drives us to Panera, Kellyn’s friend Livvy doesn’t tell us her Spotify unwrapped, Kellyn honks at the place with no bread, Kellyn takes us to her favorite place before her death (a retirement home).

Analyzing eating and Livvy Johnson. Livvy drove us around, Livvy played the finger jousting game and got bruised, Livvy brought us to shady End of the Road, Livvy pulled corn out of her foot, Livvy got almost arrested from cop driving by
