When we did our morning radio show (if you're a new podcast listener, we did a morning radio show together for 11 years prior to doing the pod), we got used to sharing our lives. We heard from many listeners that it gave them a sense of comfort to hear about regular people who were 'just like them'. That 'normalness' (is that even a word?) has continued on our podcast. All that to say, George is sharing about his colonoscopy this morning and urging you to do 'preventative maintenance' on your own body.

There's more to the episode than intestine-talk. It's a Friday weekend round-up and some mariju-drama on the first week of legalization in Minnesota.

If you're following the news, some days feel like the world is on fire. Scratch that Canada actually IS on fire. Anyway, we've both started new hobbies this summer and we're sharing details.

The now-viral phrase is Gen Z's latest dig at hustle culture and burnout plaguing the prior generations.

Is Gen Z actually lazy or are they learning young how to redefine success and achieve real work-life balance?

Last week congress had a hearing on UFOs and a former intel official says that the U.S. recovered non-human 'bioligics' from crash sites. After revealing the existence of extraterrestrials, the public essentially shrugged and said 'so what'. This has us asking the question: will anything surprise us again? Are we desensitized? When you live through as much 'unprecedented times' as we have, can we just not handle another unprecedented event?

Seem to always lose track of time? Have a hard time remembering how long ago events happened? Late for everything? You might have what is being described as 'time blindness'. This has been listed as a symptom of ADHD in some people. After one Tik-tok'er went viral, people criticized her saying it was just lack of respect and poor time management. We're sharing the symptoms of 'time-blindness' along with our thoughts.

We all have wished at one point for an instant 'fix' to get fit or lose weight. And we all know there is no such thing. JP Fitness trainer, Ivan Hukee is our guest on the podcast today. He's talking about falling in love with the process of health and wellness versus only focusing on the results.

Are you a 'thrifter'? Thrift store shopping or buying second-hand is a great way to extend the life cycle of gently used clothing and accessories. Jess is sharing some treasures she recently found as well as tips for successful thrifting.

It was Barbiemania this weekend! The much-anticipated movie took the top spot at the Box Office this weekend, bringing in $155 million dollars in the US and $182 million internationally. Some critics are calling it a 'takedown of masculinity'. We're sharing what we thought of the film this morning.
