There are things that just set us all off. It could be something so small, but it makes us grit our teeth and try to keep it together. Or, maybe there are times where you just lose your cool and don't care who's around. Pet peeves are the topic of the week! Did we cover one or more of yours?

Is procrastination really about being lazy or is it deeper than that? That's what we're discussing on this week's episode. We think you'll be surprised.

WHAT WE SAID

* We discussed an article Dave found in the New York Times, titled, "Why You Procrastinate (It Has Nothing To Do With Self-Control" and gave our thoughts on why we put things off until later.

* Wendie says the main thing she puts off is house work.

* Dave says the main thing he puts off is a particular kind of paperwork and mowing the lawn.

* Listener (and Dave's sister-in-law) Frost says, "I do what I don't want to do first and them it's done! Otherwise I could put it off forever" and we discuss ways that we can combat procrastination.

* Wendie references this Kristina Kusmic video

* She also references this article from Rosa Elena

* Kevin Leman's Birth Order Book was also brought up. We might talk about this in the future. (Not an affiliate link.)

We’re playing a big ol’ game of Catch Up with you all as we break in our new podcasting setup in our new residence, chat about the old house and the new one, as well as give you a couple tips and tricks that could make you a better renter (and person) in the long-run.

What We Said

* We recounted some stories about our previous rental

* We shared tips on how you could become a better tenant

* Making the space your own

* Unpack as soon as possible

* Invite people over and get comfortable in the new place

* Don't burn bridges, even if you hated the last place or landlord

Recently, YouTube creator Casey Neistat, released a video about social media, friendships, and intimacy. We decided to share our opinion on the topic. How has social media changed the way we interact with people? What if you couldn't just walk away from Facebook or Twitter?

Have you ever found yourself in a weird situation or maybe you over-prepared for an event, only to be even more self-conscious? That's what we're talking about this week, as well as tackling our question of the week regarding just how long you should live with your parents after tying the knot!

Wendie almost imagines Dave as Daniel Craig for the entire show, our family had a cereal showdown, and we discuss topics from the first edition of the podcast, and decide if instant attraction is a real thing.

* The Clements HQ cereal champion has been crowned

* We talk about three topics from the first few episodes of the podcast

* The "How & Wow" concept

It's the second debut episode! Yeah!

We started Because We Said about four years ago and only released 5 episodes. Why? Because apparently, parenting and recording a podcast is nigh impossible when you have a baby. It seems taking some time off and letting your kids grow up can actually enable you to start your show back up!

In this episode...

* We recap who we are and what the podcast is about

* Wendie is making cookies

* Dave is working for a podcast company

* We bought a bidet

* Here's the Tushy commercial we referenced

* We address "Bill's" concern about his wife's "Christian duties"
