  • 1.45: Hunter's Steak - The House of Crazy Contraband

    Steak With Your Son - Flowered Fruit Salad - Sausage in Your Freezer - Magical Mystery Tour Continued - Crazy Contraband in the Home

    After a birthday serenade, we talk July 4th on the farm with a family feast and fireworks and elaborate on our bubble, safe spaces, wine, and big plans. But that's only the beginning of a deep, introspective Dinner Table Talk as we reflect about this phase of staying-at-home and getting our heads around the 'new normal.' We explore our ego in conversation, our strengths in family and self-reliance,  the anger and anxiety that accompanies going out in crowds, and speaking our minds on the podcast without any fear. Oh...and boobs.

    --Are turkeys filthy?
       --The ego of last week's 'filthy turkey' conversation.

    Joe asks Aislynn to clarify the term 'Magical Mystery Tour' after she quickly said it last week.
