This week we wind down a rabbit hole of connection to our heritage and technological advances that turns into talk about 3D printers and AI and then somehow wraps back around to ancestry and parenting. I share a little about my song "Yellow Roses" and my great grandpa who inspires me. But first, a borderline inappropriate joke from our kids...

Too much time has passed since we caught up at the kitchen table...in fact, since our last visit our kitchen table has moved! We've been busy with kids, cows, a house renovation and an album release, but in this week's episode we talk about what's pressing now: Chad's weird new injury, coaching soccer and Rosie's tooth fairy shenanigans.

It's good to be back at it. Thanks for listening!

This week Jessie and Chad are getting ready to head to the big town to see Shania Twain so they have to get the ranch off the car and out from under their fingernails. They reminisce (argue?) about their school dances, talk about the crappy weather, past concerts and that time Chad didn't break his arm in the mosh pit at a metal concert...

Jessie shares a column about a harrowing school bus ride she experienced when she was a kid.

The "If you were a cowboy" official music video is out now. Watch here!

This week Jessie and her husband Chad catch up the basics: how they're failing parenthood, namely, 2nd grade math and bedtime, hunting for elk, working cows, the place Chad sleeps when he drinks too much and the redneck thing he did to start himself on fire (just briefly, he's fine.)

It's all over the place people, just like them.

Plus, Jessie shares her column of the same name.

This week Jessie and her husband Chad sit down on a Sunday to reflect on their role in other people's memories, especially their children's. Speaking of children, theirs are really loud in this episode, so fair warning if you're not as good at ignoring them as their parents are. And before they wrap it up, Jessie brings up the time she overbid on her husband dressed as the world's ugliest woman in a local fundraiser. This has nothing to do with the column, but you get to hear it anyway.

As always, Jessie shares the column and as a special treat, Edie tells the story of Paul Bunyan and it's adorable.

It's fall and Jessie and Chad sit down after a long day of canning salsa for a chat about the season, which brings up some fun hunting stories. Chad starts out strong by getting jalapeno juice in his eye, the wild turkeys make an appearance and then there was that time the pop-up camper exploded. Jessie shares her column about the inspiration behind her new song.

Grab a cup of coffee and have a listen.

This week Jessie and Chad check in from a borrowed camper they took to Cody, Wyoming for the Yellowstone Songwriter Festival. Service was a bit sketchy, so the upload is late, but the conversation is centered around Jessie's experience performing at songwriter festivals, how she embarrassed herself on a white water rafting trip and her new song "If you were a Cowboy" out today wherever you listen to music!

Jessie's 40 today, so while Chad makes ten pounds of taco meat they catch up about milestones, particularly in parenting as the kids go back to school. They wonder if they're doing it right. Jessie shares her column of the same name.

This week is a kitchen recap about bar backing and hair bands and back to school while the kids play Barbies just loud enough to be sorta distracting. Jessie shares a memory about a connection made with a stranger at the big lake that confirmed her perspective on the importance of authenticity. She reads the column of the same name.

This week the wild animals and the summer heat take over. Jessie and Chad sit down and procrastinate putting supper on to talk about mishaps, per usual and how Chad and a crew of friends once got chased by a wild buffalo and how bright neon windsuits don't belong in National Parks. Then they tell about their latest attempt at summer fun on the lake and how it ended in mayhem, again, per usual.
