Put a Cork In It

Sheeeesh, this is a good episode. I love a good love story with some unique variables, aka an age difference. There is really nothing like digging into the question of if an age difference really changes the ins and outs of a relationship or if it is barely there. Brett Reichwein was the perfect person to explain how a gap in age did and did not affect the way he and his wife (fellow guest of PACII, Carrie Reichwein) interact as a couple. 

We laughed a LOT, learned a lot, and provided the perfect advice to the young men out there looking to chase after the "cougars". 

Monica might actually meet Justin Bieber by simply knowing this week's guest...

This episode is truly incredible because of the inside scoop we give you guys into how to "make it" in the music industry. Phoebe Wang gives us all the information we never knew we needed when it comes to becoming friends with famous people and living the LA lifestyle, but still being a normal human being. We cannot even handle the name dropping that happens in this conversation, it is just INSANE.

Believe it or not, there may be such a thing as a good clique, but is there a time when the clique must disband? Does getting older mean letting go of a core group of friends? We get to the bottom of such riveting questions with the help of Jason Herbert, the dude with the quality friend group that has yet to have a member leave the squad. We spoke about it all, including Jason being the poster child for Enneagram 9s and ~those~ friends who hang out with their S.O. too much (yikes). Cannot wait to have you all listen in to this one!

P.S. THANKS FOR 5K STREAMS! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST EVER.

Ooooh baby, this is just a really good one you guys. Setting up two people is truly an art form and so much goes into it that we thought that making a podcast about it was definitely neccessary. We brought on Emily Santen because of her experience in being set up and of course, Mon shares some TOUGH almost-setups she has been a part of. This episode is really hilarious, practical and we hope you love it!!!

Never EVER has the podcast seen this much severe roasting of Monica’s dating game… so prepare yourselves. The topic was supposed to be about developing friendships with your co-workers and being friends, but it turned into a LOT more and things got pretty intense. Angus Mowry brings the heat on his co-worker Mon, but also displays how close you can get to the people you work with, to the point where they begin to feel like family.

Queue ‘California Gurls’ by Katy Perry because we brought on the one and only Meghan Pottle. This has been a loooong awaited episode because of how much we have wanted to tap into all of Meghan’s west coast knowledge and experiences. By the end of the episode, Austin and Mon may have been won over to the west side (except for when it comes to dating)…

WOW, it feels good to be back with all of you after a good ole' fashioned Christmas break. We are really excited to bring on Matt King to talk about his transition from being a collegiate basketball player to just a regular twenty-something trying to figure out how to be an adult. There are so many unique insights to learn about the world of a post-college athlete and of COURSE, we relate all of it to relationships (duh). This episode is just fun to listen to and we hope you feel a part of the conversation the whole time. WE LOVE YOU PACII FAMILY! 

The Christmas vibes have hit the PACII podcast (hence the JB Christmas intro) and we have brought you all some more controversy. Whether you are leaving an ex behind this holiday season or coming home to one, we are here for YOU. We had to bring on Carrie Reichwein for this topic because her experience with break-ups is just too valuable not to have her in the conversation. We cover a LOT of different things in this episode, so maybe pull out a notebook or something…

Yeah yeah, it's an ominous title but we promise this episode is worth every minute. When the topic of "second chances" became a topic, only one name really came to mind, Avery Brown. This guest is special because Mon has known Avery almost his whole life and saw his life be changed through the rollercoaster ride that God guided him on. We love the rawness of this episode and we hope it provides a lot of food for thought - enjoy the ride!!!! 

We are back with a bangin’ episode after a Thanksgiving hiatus and we are getting into the thick of it (aka relationships). We are so glad we brought on Mon’s favorite friend, Bethany Rutledge, to dig into the question that haunts us all when it comes to our friends of the opposite sex: can you truly be “just friends”? We debate a lot of different scenarios that come with this topic and give you the advice you’ve been waiting for when debating if your friendship with that one guy/girl could maybe be more? TUNE IN AND ENJOY!
