Pop the champagne and toast to our anniversary! We’re celebrating our one first year of the podcast with memories, random thoughts, messages from listeners and, of course, a game! Thanks for an amazing first year. Cheers to year two!

The vaccine episode. Fick and Foust are now both vaccinated and are sharing very different experiences to both side effects and individual reasons for getting shot in the arm.

Just like magnets Fick and Foust are opposites, but somehow work. This week they’re discussing their opposing views on things they love (& hate), and yes it’s more than Mariah Carey. Quiz coming someday!

We’re so ready to get away we’ll even travel 16+ hours in a car with kids (yup, that bad!). Whether you’re ready to mask up and go or still unsure, we feel you and understand it’s going to be different for a while. But the truth is we all need a break from the stress and chaos of every day life. Tune in for our thoughts on traveling as Rona season finally (*hopefully*) comes to and end.

When you gonna go away? When you gonna let us live our way? M M M my Corona! This week we get into the excuses we’ve all found so easy to blame on Covid. It’s time to own up, be honest and stop shaming people who think differently than you. And tips for how we can all take care of ourselves so we don’t have to go through another pandemic.

Join us for a year in review with Rona. As we are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of “5 weeks to stop the spread”, we reflect on how much we’ve changed this past year and how different the world looked in the early days of the Coronavirus.

In honor of Rare Disease Day 2021, we share our stories and personal experiences with rare diseases. 1 in 20 people will live with a rare disease in their life and those people need us. Rare needs research, advocates and you. This is a can’t miss episode. Find more info about Rare Disease Day at rarediseaseday.org.

February is American Heart Month. As the number 1 killer of Americans, we wanted to share our personal stories about heart disease and facts to help reduce your risk. If you or a family member has concerns about heart disease, please talk to your doctor. Stay safe friends.

We love fun! And we had so much fun with our Valentine’s Day trivia, plus a surprise cameo from Fick’s husband, gift ideas and random thoughts.
