A special wintry birthday surprise edition (happy birthday, Ansel!) because what says winter more than going to a hockey game and just barely escaping a fight? Mike lets Rory in on his fighting past and tells the story of one of the funniest moments of his life, while Cecilia jumps over the boards with some cool hockey and snack facts.

Mike, Rory, and Cecilia are back for their final episode of the summer, released the day before the autumn equinox! In this final funny family story of season 1, we hear from friends Clara and Bob about their wild and sort of dangerous backyards which include a river, a hippo, a berry-eating fox, and a lesson on keeping your distance from the wild animals around us! Thanks for listening during this first season and we'll catch you out on the road next summer for season 2!

So, Mike and Rory wrote a book. It's a weird book. It's a chapter book. It's a weird chapter book. It's a weird chapter book about a strange, wonderful town called Piffle Park where a group of kids helps bring the town together by supporting one of their friends who believes, perhaps correctly, that he is a werewolf.

We think it's a super fun read that all ages can enjoy and we hope you enjoy this first chapter as well as Cecilia's research about werewolves in history.

Mike tries to convince Rory that a person's favorite sandwich can be an important part of who they are. Rory disagrees. Is Mike right? Is Rory?

When is a sandwich more than just a sandwich?

In two funny, family-friendly stories, we hear about a special sandwich unique to one particular family and about a couple about to get married whose argument about a sandwich brings them to a new understanding of each other.

Plus, research by Cecilia and a sneak preview of the upcoming book written by Rory and Mike titled The Peculiar People of Piffle Park.

In this funny, family-friendly episode, we hear about escaped cows and rooster troubles.

Can people speak cow? The answer may surprise you!

Should you accept that free rooster? We'll let you decide once you listen to these farm adventures from Leah and Allison!

We hope you're driving somewhere fun and you enjoy these funny, family-friendly , hilarious-friendly, kid time good time episode!

Let's go back to the 1980's and 1990's with two stories from adults who grew up as latch-key kids. Cecilia explains what a latch-key kid is and friends James and Newf tell stories about getting locked out of their homes.

Should you do your homework in your underpants? What do you do if you are locked out and you really, really have to go the bathroom?

James and Newf found out so we can learn and laugh with them (and a little at them) in these funny, family-friendly stories for your long car rides or medium car rides or short rides in a long car.

Cecilia, Mike, and Rory explore SPORTS with two great stories, one from Susie/Mimi Campbell, who finally leaves the bench in her adult women's softball league and one with Eric, whose Little League coach tries a little too hard to win a game! "Let them play!" "Let them play!" Fantastic Finishes on Funny Family Stories for Long Car Rides!

Have you ever tried to trap a groundhog? How'd that go? It was almost too much for our family. Listen and laugh along as Mike, Rory and Cecilia talk groundhogs, traps, sprinklers, and coyote pee! Yes, coyote pee! Plus, special guest and noted skunk and coffee non-expert, Allison, tells her own funny family-friendly story about how skunks and coffee go together like apples and cinnamon, like peanuts and butters, like summer and fun!
