It's our season premiere and we've got a few things to talk about! We start with a quick rapid fire of subjects that occured whilst we were on vacation. In the second half of the show, we talk all things music; types we enjoy, various fun stories involving playing instruments, and even neat youtube channels Dave listens to.

It's our season finale and in a first for the show, we have a guest joining us. Dr. Enfield of the Washoe County School District is on to answer some tough questions, as well as share some of the positive changes within the district.

Peggy is back to talk holiday pet safety and we share a few fun pet stories. It's that time of year and we all want our furry friends to be safe. If you have any questions you'd like to direct towards Peggy, be sure to check out the link below.

We decided to not cover the mid terms this episode as we were still waiting for results when we recorded. Dave shares his daughter’s experience with getting her driver’s license. Second half of the show, we dedicate to holiday related topics and share a few favorite charities.
