Ever wish you could have bottled that convo you just had because it was EPIC and the world needs to hear it? YUP. WE GET IT. We're Cassie Young (@CassandraYoung) and Davi Crimmins (@DaviCrimmins) and we talk any and everything: what's going on in the world, friends, relationships, the best dad jokes (ahem Cassie) and the ups and downs of the funny curveball we call life all with a hefty dose of snark (cough Davi cough). We'll call it like we see it, we're slightly NSFW and we've got zero regrets. So plug in those ear buds and we'll help you survive the rest of your 9-5! Hosted on Acast.

They sell some INSANE stuff at Costco, there's a HUGE secret stockpile of cheese hidden underground, we have questions for people who worked at Abercrombie + Cassie found some footage from what looks like a Congressional hearing that TERRIFIED her...let's just say the words "flesh eating" and "other worldly strength" were used.

A Secret Stockpile of Cheese

Do you know the origin story of witches riding on broomsticks? It's a little more scandalous than you might think...plus, what "eye of newt" REALLY means when it comes to witches' positions. Also, is it possible for birds to sound like humans or is what one man hearing in the brush when he's all alone something way more dangerous? Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Doorknobs & Broomsticks

Davi's having some renovations done to her house and *of course* she would pick the color Pennywise - LIKE THE CLOWN - for the color. And maybe it was bad luck, but that's when things started going wrong... Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pennywise...The Paint Color?

It's a rare serious episode of Broadly Speaking. In light of the recent gun massacres in Uvalde, Texas at Robb Elementary and in Buffalo (and the countless mass shootings and massacres before that happened in the United States), we share concrete, tangible ways that you can help.
If we want to see change, then we are ALL going to have to take action. It's on every single one of us who's feeling grief over the senseless and brutal loss of life this Country has seen. As always, we also encourage you to do your own research, but we understand it can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming, especially if your heart is breaking with grief like ours are, so we'll break down exactly who to call and exactly what you need to ask for.
Even if you don't listen to this episode, we encourage you to download the 5 Calls app - a free app that will connect you with political issues you care about (including gun reform) and will give you the phone numbers to the reps you need to call along with an exact script on what to say. It's time for us to come together and turn our raw grief and pain into doing something to address the problem. It's our Country, and it's time we spoke up and told our leaders to do something. Our kids, our families, our neighbors, our friends deserve better.  Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Country Needs Your Help

You better bee-lieve it: a crazy fact that Cassie learned, the story of a guy trying to sabotage his best friend's engagement, Cassie pulls one over on Davi, dumb dad jokes and we learn to beat box?!
