In today's episode, our task was to talk about our embarrassing music phases... However, we're just really not embarrassed by them. We've fully embraced our broad spectrum musical interests. While we may not listen to all the things we did in our youth, there isn't much we wouldn't own up to - even my death metal phase (cut my life into pieces, amiright?!). 

What are your thoughts? Does exposure to lots of music as a kid make you like all kinds of music or is it we're wired for all or just one? 

When you take a trip are you the kind of person who has to hurry up and see all the things or the person who leisurely goes about their business to absorb the experience? In today's installment of Three on the Threes, we interview our grandmother (Mimi aka Kathleen) and our great aunt Iva Nell. Starting in the early 90s (or thereabouts, no one knows), they drove throughout the southern US exploring, experiencing and taking in the sites. We just hit on the highlights but one day Andrea and I will have to get the full scoop!

In this weeks episode, we revisit trips we've taken around the US. Starting at a pretty young age, we got to do some pretty amazing trips with both sides of our family. Andrea loved skiing in Colorado, Kayse loved summering in Maine (twice). We both love going to wine country in California. We fully recognize how lucky we were to get to take these trips and have family that prioritized family vacations. If you love to travel or are thinking of your next destination when the world opens back up - we hope you'll enjoy hearing about some of the places we've been (and also some that we still want to go to!).

We had planned to do an episode like this anyone and Halloween time seems an appropriate time to release it! SpOoKy SeAsOn! As Andrea would say. We look back on the ghost stories that we heard as kids (first hand accounts), the weird things that have happened to us over the years but we end on a good comedic note. If you have spooky stories, write as at [email protected] or comment on our IG stories and we'll do a special listener story episode!

Welcome to the 4th installment of three on the threes! Today we interview Toby, one Kayse's best and nerdiest friends. We find out a little bit about Toby, what it takes to hang with the Eckelman sisters and go off on a life stage tangent. There's also a brief interruption of tiny people (and lots of background noise!) - babies are loud. Lastly, if you ever wondered how Andrea feels when you think she's my mom, you will find out! Thanks for tuning in.

In this weeks episode, we talk about how we have not only become very uncool (and don't really care) but some of the specific things that started to happen as we became "Get off my lawn" people. We kick off by telling a few stories on ourselves of what our parents did that mortified us, followed by a brief recounting of an actual list we created of "things I can't stand as an older person". There are several tangents thrown in. A little bit of wisdom. But mostly just silliness. Thanks for listening!

PS - you can change lanes in the intersection!

Full disclosure. If you get annoyed when we laugh a lot or crack ourselves up - this episode may not be for you. If you think we're as hilarious as we think we think are - then I think you'll really enjoy this short episode. This is a listener requested topic (remember you can email us or IG us your requests!) about nicknames. Our nicknames for each other, for other people and a brief history of how nicknames in our family are a bit of a tradition. We cover all the ones we can remember - suffered a brief interruption by one annoying husband who can't remember what day we record - got back on track and tell all the stories. Raise your hand if Andrea tried to introduce herself to you under a false name! Thanks for listening. It means the world to us.

It's the third installment of Three on the Threes! Today, we're interviewing our travel buddy and honorary sister, Dawn Poirer! Andrea absolutely cannot say her last name but we promise she's a dear friend! We met Dawn while we were hiking in Peru to Machu Picchu so we thought this would be a fun carry on episode to our international travel episode (episode 8), especially because Dawn is a very adventurous traveler while we're a bit more on the reserved side (did I mention how much I like museums?). 

Today we're talking about the international travel we've been lucky enough to do throughout our lives. In planning this episode, we didn't think we remembered a lot of things - especially from when we were wee ones - but the fun memories started flowing after we got started and there was so much more we could have talked about! If you too have worn a money belt and nonchalantly pulled your money out of your shirt or pants, you'll enjoy some of the nonsense in this episode. Thanks for listening!

This one is a doosey. We briefly cover our checkered dating histories (going wayyyy back) before launching into online dating stories which will have to be entered into the tomes of history under the heading "Everyone said it was the dating of the future, but often it was unspeakably terrible." The good news is Andrea never went into the woods at night. Thanks for listening! Remember to send your topics to [email protected]!
