Episode 116: Reboot and Regroup

This week we resurface. We didn't win the lottery or die, just been busy but we pledge to not leave you for this long again. Gary has become sensitive about the size of his legs, kids are wilding out with the one chip challenge and we recited the pledge of allegiance before Thanksgiving dinner.


Shout out to our Sugar Daddy Phillip who's been staying the course. You can support us too if you feel compelled.

    We managed our second podcast for the month. This early morning recording has us talking about the cell phone outage and what an apocalypse looks like for the Thomas family.

  • Episode 130: Meh

    01:09:29
    Hey we missed you. It's been busy. What better way to ease back into things than to talk about old nostalgic places we used to eat at back in the day. So many have come and gone. We confront some adult decisions and how Harlan defeated the potty monster. Thanks for listening!
  • Episode 129: Bussy

    01:14:17
    At the beginning of the month 8 of us went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Most of the people there ( minus wives who hadn't met us yet) were in attendance on that day but furthermore they've been pieces of our lives for about 30 years. We recorded two sessions, all girls and all guys. The guys get the spotlight first as Matt Stokes, Seth Thatcher, Jason Ellis and Gary talk about their friendships, marriage and more. Proceed with caution.

    Oh a fun week. It's all over the board as we talk about some holistic approaches that Abby takes to health. We discuss Miranda Lambert stopping her concert for some selfie takers and peel back some curtain on our love languages. Hope you enjoy!
  • Episode 127: Thomas Family Trip

    01:18:59
    Vacation season and this year we went to Disneyworld. For all the pictures of fun and happiness we struggled but made the most of it. Car rides and dark rides were on the list. Harlan had fun at our expense and even Charley found some bright spots.

    As mentioned, we got dressed up almost like prom and spent the night at a fancy work gala. Abby looked amazing and Gary was well hydrated thanks to the bourbon tasting. Abby closed out her teaching era by taking a new job outside the classroom. We take a dive into our favorite comedy and talk about the Matt Rife explosion.
  • Episode 125: Boredom Rules

    We appreciate the patience and hopefully this marks the return.We discuss wanting our kids to be bored and how we had no choice. Abby had a yard sale. We watched The Machine! The struggle of being an autism parent can be a rollercoaster and that has been on display alot lately. We are getting dressed up to go to a fancy party. We love you!
  • Episode 124: Spring Breakers

    01:01:32
    This past week was interesting for sure. Abby went solo with the kids and hit a rough patch during a track meet that lasted way too long. Harlan has proved he is in no shape to test his physical stamina at Disneyworld yet. Gary had a quick trip to Texas and missed out on all the fun.
