Doing A Good.

This week Ken & Car have an honest, candid conversation about new endeavors, anxiety, failure to launch and the obstacles we create for ourselves. Using Car’s current experience with starting a business, they explore the ways we get into—and hopefully out of—being stuck. It’s never too late to do the damned thing. In lighter fare: Randy’s going to get schooled, teamwork is cool, and Ken has a holiday show for everyone in the Seattle area (“Ken’s Magic Hour” is not to be missed).

Plus: holiday pop up market this Sat 12/15 at Bait Shop where we will be selling vintage! (1-4pm)

Last but not least: MERCH IS HERE! MERCH IS HERE! Email or DM for details: [email protected] instagram: @doingagood

This week on the couch: Jerry plays with a ball, Ken recaps her action-packed trip to “Phoenie” and Car continues the tradition of embarrassing herself at auditions. Plus: how to correctly use the word “pantomime” (no one knows), which holidays should be moved, and a notable event happens at Car’s home (to her home).

This week: Ken and Car give hot tips on products for both animals and humans. Meanwhile, Little Jerry employs many tactics to try and steal the show. And of course, as we brace ourselves for the upcoming holiday, the friends discuss current Turkey Day plans and reflect on traditions of yesteryear.

Time flies when you’re riffin’ on the couch. Ken and Car discuss their cool weekend, the show they emceed and quality time with friends. Ken shares her recent Doing a Good with home improvements while Car embarks on a new skincare journey. Also: Morning routines! Phone communication! Bonding with Randy! Little Jerry hates Rick Astley! Why is there no Discovery Zone for adults?!

With fall fully upon us, this week the friends discuss the sense memory, nostalgia and music of the season. They explore how differently their brains work and how getting a cup of coffee sometimes just is and sometimes just isn’t. Following up on the value of therapy in the topic of change, Ken and Car share resources for sliding scale, low-cost options—locally and on line—with links below. Car also takes Ken by surprise with a highly romantic ceremony.

This week the conversation about navigating change continues. Car and Ken share listener emails full of amazing insights, tips and food for thought. They also discuss Car’s new eyelash journey, the mysterious problem of always losing your phone, and a riff in their friendship involving a house key.

Inspired by Ken’s Saturn Return, this week the friends discuss change: the process, the unknown, the discomforts, the inevitability, and possible coping strategies. Let’s get through it together. Also, Ken joins a new gym and reveals her Instagram name change. Meanwhile, Car sees her (second) favorite podcast live and jazzes on true crime.

Ken and Car are back! After taking a break to film their movie, the friends have returned. This episode is about getting back into the swing of things. Ken and Car do a brief catch up, Ken made a new friend and Car multi-tasks for an audition. Most exciting is an ordeal with a giant bee, and a brave new journey to find a special guest begins.

This week we tell the story of the twilight days of Sadie the Baby Girl. She was the toughest, truest, oldest dog we’ve known. Emotions warning: along with telling Sadie’s recent journey, Car and Ken pull back and share the broader journey with Car’s dogs over the past year. It is hard, sad and a little raw. If you’re not in the space for that, skip forward about 20 minutes. We bridge the gap between the first and second acts with an intermission of laughs brought to you by Ken. In the second half we discuss last week’s promised topic of following your dreams. This involves fear, failure and being uncomfortable. Car takes a long, squirming journey to get to the reveal about her current endeavor, sharing the process that led up to this moment. Meanwhile, Ken is having a Meredith Brooks moment regarding her dreams, and frankly, her whole life. This week is about what matters, brushing up against some of the gifts and discomforts of Doing a Good. Listen through to the end to learn how to get invited to our Cristal boat party!

It’s the content harmony you’ve always wanted! From riffin’ to digging in, this week Ken & Car go from Paula Cole, 311, nightmares & mindfulness homework to multitasking, personal time, productivity & the balance of how you fill your life. Plus, by listener request: the friends explain Ken’s eyebrow routine.
