Same Team Y'all!

In this episode Eric and Tess learn a lesson about kindness from a high school student, discuss the merits of meditating (and if it will cause them to glow like the sun), and how worrying about something only makes you suffer twice.

Hope you enjoy.  And remember: you’re awesome. And loved.  And amazing.

To make up for having a semi-hiatus Eric and Tess partake in their first ever lightning round version of stuff they love, where they talk about a bunch of stuffs under the threat of a timer!  They both contemplate the existence of reality, talk about Jim Halpert’s beautiful beard, and Eric goes down a deep rabbit hole discussing the unified field and the levels of our perception.

Surprise, Eric cries when he talks about his daughter.  Again.

Hurricanes and tech issues have ganged up on our plucky librarians to prevent them from recording a new episode.  Luckily Eric has assembled clips of some of his favorite moments in Same Team Y’all history!  Be sure to stay at the end where Eric sings a duet with a celebrity whose name rhymes with Smoully Slarmstrong.

Please enjoy this special episode!

Tess gushes about Pee-wee Herman, Eric finally gets things done, and little baby Freya goes to her first brunch! Between a talk about Mr. Rogers and Freya restoring Eric’s spark of hope in humanity, it is a tear filled, but still fun, episode.

This episode’s quote is from Mr. Rogers’s acceptance speech at the 1997 Emmy award ceremony. Oh, won’t you be our neighbor?

Since 2017, just trying to make the world a better place one episode at a time.

Some of the many topics discussed: the podcast “Slow Burn,” the magic of fathers day, when we first learned that we were fat, inspiring a love for presidents in young kids, and how we are all influencing someone’s life right at this very moment.

This episode’s intro was recorded from a talk the Dalai Lama and Lady Gaga gave at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis on June 26, 2016.

Eric and guest-Tess, Ms. Jill, reporting live from the Charles County Comic Con!  Jill does a stellar job interviewing passersby, and delivers an amazing life lesson about how it is always okay to ask for help.  *snap snap* These snaps are for you Jill!

Special welcome to all our new friends made at C4!

Did you know Tess loves dogs?  Well she does.  Period.

New buildings, massive cute dogs, clean spaces, and BattleBots are just some of the things that are brought up in today’s episode!  We also learn about when it’s okay to lie to a child, the inside story of management, and once again, that we all live in a golden age!

This episode goes out to all our listeners with ovaries.
