Kevin and Brie Save the World: Episode 39 – Kevin Lite

We’re staying in spooky season, Dear Listener!  Kevin and Brie pick out our Halloween costumes for this year and discuss how saying ‘no’ can help you reclaim your power.  But someone please tell us, how do you pronounce “hyaluronic”? This week’s Listener Feedback is a pin-up specifically directed at Brie and our Listener Question wonders if a gift given to them was offensive and what to do about it.

TheraBrie gives a shout out to Ireland for supporting the arts and the artists who make the art.  Culture with Kevin keeps us in the scary zone.

Kevin and Brie Save the World: Episode 37 – Welcome to the Dark Side

We’re two gloomy Gusses this week, Dear Listener.  Sorry, but we’re not in good places right now.  Brie has an exposure scare and Kevin is going through a rough time.  It’s OK not to be OK.  It’s OK to ask for help and above all - remember to be kind to yourself.  We take this week’s energy and turn it into a spooky conversation as we finally delve into our true crime unsolved favorites.

This week’s Listener Question gets a bit heated between Kevin and Brie.  How to approach a difficult conversation regarding living arrangements with a roommate?

 Welcome, Dear Listener.  We live up to our comedy surname this week in our discussion about cereal and other delightful things.  But can someone seriously please tell us how to pronounce “muesli”?
