Pessimistic at Best

Personally, I've never had the urge to get butt naked and take my bicycle for a spin through the city streets, but who am I to yuck somebody else's yum! Join us on the podcast for a lovely little recap of James' birthday weekend and stay for my newfound favorite cure for the hiccups, James' issue with divvy-bike sanitation practices, our pitch for the drink of the summer, and more!

There's nothing more patriotic than celebrating Memorial Day Weekend with a Vienna hotdog and a Miller Lite at the stadium, am I right ladies? James and I take to the podcast to discuss my googling "grills for beginners" ahead of our trip to Home Depot, our mutual distaste for sandals, and more! Gear up for a taste of the American spirit, if you know what I mean, xoxo.

Barefoot-boy summer is upon us, the sun is shining, and for better or for worse, the toes are OUT. Kyle and I take to the podcast to reminisce on our first swear words (or cuss words for you Texans), share our favorite phone games, and swap foot fetish stories, join us if you dare. ;)

When was the last time you had a hand cramp? Well, I got one writing the notes for this episode, so it must be good! James and I take to the podcast to discuss the odd marketing tactics of a quirky local establishment here in Logan Square called the Friendship Chinese Restaurant before diving into my unhealthy obsession with Facebook Marketplace and my stance on Doctor's offices without fish tanks.

 If it's one thing about me, it's that I love a personality quiz. Categorize me, put me in a box, slap a label on me, I don't mind! I just got back from my all-company summit in which I found out that I'm a "collaborator" within the Predictive Index. I actually felt like I learned a lot about myself — and all after answering two measly questions, imagine! Anyway, join us on the podcast to learn how many times I pick up my phone a day, hear James gripe about drinking the haterade on his Twitter fyp, and get the low down on the next big thing happening in our relationship — our sharing a medical professional!

Today the Kedzie Kids™ take to the pod to tackle an important question — 'Drive Your Tractor to School Day' — urban myth or rural fact? Join us for a riveting conversation about middle school bullies, ripped pants, and life on the dairy farm — and stay for a charming little anecdote about the time that I almost threw up when it was my turn to milk the cow during a school field trip.

At this time, I'd like to give a shoutout to British Airways via American Airlines for reconnecting me with Abby Mackinnon on the way to the most magical place on earth — London, of course!

I can genuinely say that I'm so incredibly happy our departing flight got moved up a full 3 hours and that our connection was moved all way from JFK to CLT because had that not been the case, I wouldn't have seen the girl in her Yankee's cap fighting for her life down the aisle in order to get to her seat.

Welcome to our study abroad 2.0 episode, where Abby and I rehash all of our favorite mems from our most recent trip to the Big Apple (Joe, if you're reading this, that joke is for you), discuss the many downsides to being millennial/gen-z cusps,  deliberate over the current state of television, and more!

Not to brag, but I recently had a Tweet go viral (upwards of 2+ likes) about how vacation is really just about bopping around for drinks and snacks., and honestly? I stand by that. James and I just got back from London, the literal trip of a lifetime, so naturally I wrote up a pros and cons list for the recap. Let's dive in, shall we?

It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me! James and I decided to take a ten year anniversary trip across the pond and I may or may not have gotten us an Airbnb as close to my old dorm as humanly possible — we're reliving the glory days, baby! Goals for the trip include convincing at least one person that I'm British and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome throughout our stay, wish us luck, xx.
