Down With the Dominguezes

You've heard of the honey-do list, right? That list of small handyman jobs around the house that you ask your spouse to do on the weekends. Well, Juan has a honey-don't list. Let's just say he should keep his day job because handyman is not a safe bet. Video podcast available on Spotify. 📺

In this episode Juan and Cheyenne discuss Valentine's Day, zodiac fragrances, and Juan's encounter with the sweet-smelling Pamela Anderson.

Juan makes a thrilling attempt to become the first-ever, internationally-known Cuban Ski Jumper, as he aims to qualify for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Not really. Instead, he broke four ribs (4!) and punctured a lung while dismounting from the ski lift during family vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado. What followed was a jammed ski lift, a medic team on the top of the mountain, a snowmobile and gurney, an urgent care facility, and an overnight stay in the hospital. 🤕

The real 2022 Winter Olympics, officially the XXIV Olympic Winter Games, takes place February 4 to 20, 2022 in Beijing, China with venues near neighboring towns of Yanqing and Chongli. Here's a handy link to NBC's day-by-day guide to coverage. 

Try Spotify to watch the video-cast in addition to audio. In this episode, Juan and Cheyenne share their personal new year's resolutions for 2022. Juan has made a rather lengthy list, beginning with "dry January" to an attempt to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Meanwhile, Cheyenne kept it pretty short by adopting one word to be her guiding principle for 2022. What about you? Share your resolutions by leaving a voice mail or sending an email to the show.

Five years ago, on December 27, 2016, Juan and two beachgoers saved 3 teenagers from drowning in the ocean on Miami Beach. Those two helpful beachgoers were never seen again (angels, perhaps?). Juan was honored by the Miami Beach Police Department for his heroic actions in a lovely ceremony where he received the MBPD unit coin which they said is traditionally reserved for police officers. 🚔 🪙

So where does the fork go? What does BMW have to do with setting the table? What do we think of Juan's pie-cutting techniques? It's been a while since we've all been able to gather around the table for a big dinner with family and friends. With the holiday season upon us, we thought what better way to kickoff season 3 than with special guest, Lisa Richey. She's the expert on all things etiquette and manners. Consider this your refresher course on how to set the perfect table for your family, friends (or, maybe to impress the in-laws). 

Lisa Richey is the founder of The American Academy of Etiquette, Inc. and Manners to Go. Also in this episode: Lisa's online course to teach table manners to children.

Sing along to "I'm Nine" ...

Man, last year things were so great

I remember then when I was eight

But I'm nine, yeah I'm nine

And someone's telling me what to do all the time

They tell me do something, then tell me again 

I can't wait until I'm ten

Cuz I'm nine, yeah I'm nine 

And someone's telling me what to do all the time

Bridge

It's time for practice, stop going on line 

The internet, it's like a crime

Don't eat too much, go to bed on time

Man, I can't wait 'til my life is mine 

I wish I was six, I wish I was seven

Hopefully soon I'll be eleven

But I'm nine, yeah I'm nine 

And someone's telling me what to do all the time 

Some things I don't like, Some things I hate 

Can't wait to go to High School and graduate

Cuz I'm nine, yeah I'm nine

So they'll keep telling me what to do

Yeah they'll keep telling me wha to do 

Stop telling me what to do all the time ..
