We're explaining Tik Tok's 'Bird Test' - that some say can help you determine if you're compatible with someone (romantically or platonically). Plus, we're talking about immediate indicators when you meet someone if you 'click' with them.

Holey? Holy? Ya know, underwear with holes in them. Anyway, George apparently has a hard time parting with his undergarments that are well past their expiration date. We're talking about other things we struggle to get rid of or replace.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house! We put up our decorations this weekend and let me tell you, when it got dark at 4:45 on Sunday evening, it helped.

Recapping a busy weekend today on the pod and preview of tomorrow's school bond referendum for ISD 77.

What used to be an unpopular opinion is slowing turning more mainstream. The holiday season begins after Halloween. Yes, retailers would love you to shop early and often. But, beyond that, if you are someone who finds joy and nostalgia and comfort in the holiday season, why not spend two months enjoying those feelings? We're talking about decorating early and how the Christmas creep feels for us.

Ken Burns' new docuseries 'American Buffalo' is now available on PBS. We watched it this weekend and it is incredible. We're sharing our thoughts on the series.

There is so much happening in the world right now and it seems like so much has changed since 2020. We're reflecting this morning on the changes in our lives and in the world while also pausing to recognize all that is currently happening in the global landscape.

We're both sentimental little babies when it comes to our kids' stuff - which has led to saving tons of stuff. Can you relate? Neither of us have a lot of our stuff from our own childhoods so maybe that has led to us hanging on to toys, books, clothes and blankets (and pretty much everything else). How do you decide what to keep and what to part with when it comes to kids' keepsakes?

We're also talking Halloween and some of our own favorite costumes growing up.

Young couples are asking for help with the down payment on a home on their wedding registries. We're talking about the so-called 'American Dream', how challenging it is to afford all housing and if young people actually want to buy homes.
