Podcast

In this episode, we discuss our recent visit to the SEC headquarters and how it will make everyone who has to watch football with us next fall wish we didn’t have so much confidence in our newfound officiating skills.

We also discuss the Academy Awards, podcasts we enjoy and what twenty years of marriage looks like when one of you has to have surgery.

I cannot even discuss the breadth nor depth of my anger towards AT&T right now, but as you listen to this podcast you will see that my internet situation is shoddy at best. It’s as if the whole thing is powered by very tired hamsters running on a wheel. And, mark my words, I will take care of this situation just as soon as I find the mental and emotional energy to be on the phone with AT&T for seventy-three hours until they finally agree to send a technician out to my house.

Sophie and I discuss my internet situation, the Grammy Awards, Carpool Karaoke, George Michael, the terribleness that is consistently eating right and exercising and my veritable treasure trove of beauty products.

Sophie and I recorded a new podcast on Friday afternoon because the stars aligned and we both found ourselves with a pocket of free time.

We talk about all the usual things. Our lack of organizational skills, my new job as snack manager for Caroline’s school soccer team (snack suggestions for an entire team welcome in the comments), the fact that Sophie has yet to watch an episode of This Is Us, and beauty products.

Sophie and I recorded the first podcast of 2017 today. This one includes a discussion of Mariah Carey (both her reality show and her New Year’s Eve performance), Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Princess Kate and William and various T.V. shows. We also discuss our love of La La Land for a good portion of this. Ultimately, the world needs more musicals and love and British royalty in 2017.
