I hope you brought an extra pair of clothes on the carry-on backseaters, because our podcast journey may be delayed, on the rails, off the rails, canceled, or producing those traveling toots. One way or another, we’ll make it together, one joke at a time. In the spirit of perseverance, Melissa and Dustin bring you on their 36hr endeavor to the midwest, the true strategy behind Texas-based Southwests’ boarding practices, sleeping in jeans, Mel’s musical ability, and more! 

Enjoy the show!

Hope you brought your hiking boots backseaters, because we’re climbing over a mountain of emotions today. Between end of year banquets, choir performances, animals that ain’t walkin’, and well, death, we’re glad you’re here for it! Prevailing the tears, we enjoy Dustin’s ghostly updates from his time in Fort Collins, how Vets make so much money, why movies are too long now, the necessity of large chain restaurants, what living in the clouds or the weeds brings to life, and actually much more if you can imagine. 

Enjoy the show!

For 11 months, we have sweat, trained, and mentally prepared for the olympic boiler room marathon that is the month of May, backseaters. For the parents out there on the course, we see you, and you have our thoughts and prayers, and non-parent friends, we’ll take all the free meals you’ve got for us. We’ve had 3 weeks off and it shows today in our time as we cover why iPads are not for adults, why ranch is only a leading actor, all the ways that May is the worst month of the year, Mel’s furious email experience, and Doja’s advice for parents going to her concerts!

Spring Break is over and you know what that means? That right, one or all the kids are sick. Coincidence backseaters? I think not. They are also developed an excellent acting career with those hacking “coughs”, but we know better, right? Wet or Dry? We’ll let you decide. We catch up on Dustin’s run through Syracuse and his special hospitality, wild dreams and bad sleep, can you really “make it” in New York?, and how one nephew makes his aunt’s life terrible.

There’s a lot we got wrong all these years between raising kids, marriage, career, but the biggest surprise you ask? Theater kids are cooler than all of us. At the end of the literal day, we’re watching them sing on TV, star in the best films, and keep making weird the pinnacle of success. This week we recap our kid’s performance in the musical Annie, break down our relentless parenting calendar, bad science on plants and trees, mean teenagers, and much more!

Backseaters, Las Vegas called and you’re looking at it’s newest Marketing Directors, because after you’ve been to Vegas 13 times in 18 years, who better than to tell you like it is than a couple ambitious parents! We’ve thought we’d seen it all, but this past week taught us otherwise. We crawled all over the Rock Rocks National Conservation Area, enjoyed some family friendly noods in Chinatown, finally went to Frankie’s Tiki Bar, we share about our incredible stay at the Aria, Dunkin’ Donuts makes an appearance on the show today, and how does one drive home at night from Vegas? We’ll tell you all about that too.
