Episode 142: In this week's episode, we discuss what it means to be a celebrity (achieved, inherited, ascribed, or otherwise) and its affect on society's view of success. Erin then fields a listener question of what sorts of responsibilities celebrities have on being actual role models to younger generations. Does their fame mean they should be an example to others? Then, James answers the age-old question: Are there any celebrities we idolize?

Episode 141:  This week, we slap on the Icy Hot and compare liver spots as we discuss the joys of growing older. But it's not all aches and pains, we are enjoying good beverages to help soothe the topic. For our second round, D. Marie fields a listener question about aging out of the happy hour scene with your co-workers, which may not be all bad. Finally, James wraps up the night, with a question on what do we all really want to do when we get into our retirement age. It's never too late to start something new!

Episode 140: In this week's episode, we dissect the mating (and dating) rituals of the heterosexual male by discussing the seven stages men supposedly go through when falling love — "supposedly" being the operative word here. Yeah, we don't always trust those relationship experts. Erin then fields a listener question on the weird things men do to impress their paramours, while James tackles another listener question: this time about homo-panic — you know, that moment that when a man finds another man attractive and worries that he might be gay. As if that's a bad thing!

Episode 139: This week's episode is all about debt: Credit card debit, student loan debt, house debt…and people debt (a.k.a. moochers)! D. Marie fields a question from one listener on how to get money back from a friend, while Erin tackles a listener question about a sister who needs to borrow money to pay her mortgage. Uff-dah!

Episode 138: This week we get close, real close, to discuss intimacy and what that looks like. Dana kicks off the conversation around what leads to cheating – and it doesn't always include looking for a sidepiece. D. Marie fields a listener question on how to keep a relationship "fired-up" as the years roll-on. Finally, James closes out the evening with a look from the other side of intimacy with a last call on the pervasiveness of isolation in the social media generation. #connectedbutdisconnected.

Episode 137: For this week's episode, we examine second chances and what those look like for each of the hosts. Joining us for this episode is special guest Duke Pieper, the Minnesota author of the book, I'm Alive: Courage, Hope and a Miracle. Duke shares his inspirational story of overcoming the odds after undergoing a brain surgery that offered a 5% chance of living. Not only did he survive, Duke learned how to walk, talk and live again. With his book, foundation, and a focus on moving forward into the future, Duke encourages us all to live life fully – especially in the face of great difficulty.

Marie, James, and Dana each share their escapades in and out of the friend zone, before D. Marie tackles a listener question: How do I make someone realize we'd be good together? Then, Erin fields a listener question on how to get a boy you've been friends with for years to see you as girlfriend material, while James wraps up the night by sharing the five zones worse than the friend zone…but you'll have to listen to find out.
