Our first episode is exactly how our real lives look: kids interrupting, snacks disappearing upstairs, and two friends finally hitting record on the couch with microphones and Diet Cokes. We talk about what this podcast might become, a recent birthday weekend, family traditions that have gotten louder over the years, and the oddly specific joy of things like game nights and reading menus like it’s a book club. It’s chatty, cozy, a little chaotic, and full of rabbit trails — which is pretty much the whole point.
