We sat down with the girls of Mobility Haus, Sara and Allie, to talk about next to nothing and totally forget to ask them anything about what Mobility Haus actually is. Sounds like a good reason for another podcast with them. This is the second episode, and the content will accurately reflect that. Hang out and grow with us while we awkwardly face forward to talk to each other.  #lifeatthehaus

Hanging on the back deck discussing Allison's Three Calls. Since that's not a thing and you don't know what that means or who said it, we'll elaborate. Allison works with Jessie and no one wanted to give us any topics to discuss today, except for Allison. Bless her heart. She said we should discuss cat calls, phone calls, and call-outs. We talked about all three until the sun set. Which was less than an hour. Which is all the mosquitoes needed to finish their dinner. Which hurt.

Rob and Jessie are back with a never-going-to-happen commitment to weekly audio-only podcasts. Aside from that they'll still be off-topic, ending abruptly, and likely to get us in trouble with our respective employers. 

Today's episode features Allison Barnes, the co-owner of the Thursty Pedaler party bike in Ottawa, as well as occasional appearances by Nick, Jessie's better half. As we regularly circle back to the main topic of friends of the opposite sex, we also hit on dog training, bullying, people who don't like listening to music (!!!), and several other topics in this 90+ minute backyard hangout. If you hear any buzzing, that's courtesy of your local cicadas, and any yelling is courtesy of the high school party a few doors down. Maybe next week we'll explore the reasons for podcasting indoors only. And we'll let you know if we beat them in beer pong.

Rob and Jessie talk about a few hot topics, mostly by accident; including Gina Carano, Morgan Wallen, and the overall notion of your intent when speaking vs the impact on the listener, especially in today's world. Of course there's still plenty of fluff and vague references to boat docks and the like.

It's not a long episode, just two good ones put together with no gap or identifiable difference. So now you can't complain about it being long, you're just binge-listening. We hit on first impressions of each other, dating younger, c-list celebs, and probably 50 other things. What a great time to suggest that you give us ideas for future topics. Hit us up at @backgroundconversations.

Rob accidentally impresses on the first podcast episode with his egregious nose breathing while he and Jessie discuss all things trivial, and, lest you cancel us, one thing that is not. Tune in to the series of regular people who don't think they're regular, as they lean on friendship to navigate whatever the hell the world is right now.
