I also could have called this: "What I Did During My Yearly Quarantine" or "Covid-stravaganza". Basically, after almost a year of not recording due to quarantines and being super busy with work, your hosts, Chad and Amanda, are finally back together to start recording about the state of the world.
Since we have been away so long and we are sure everyone is tired of hearing about the chaos that is the state of the USA, we talked briefly about it but really more dove into the things that we have been up to in the past year.
I want to thank everyone that has stayed subscribed long enough to get a notification that we have a new episode up. We tend to go on quite a bit here. Over two hours actually so I split our conversation up into 2 parts.
For new listeners: This is not our typical format, but feel free to listen to help get to know us a little better.

This week we discuss mental health issues in America and how people are dealt with when they have a breakdown. We also find a church that tells it older members to stay away to attract younger members. And we end with a newly developing case of a woman and her missing kids and potential ties to a new mysterious cult.

Picture this: Chad has worked 24 hour hours in 2 days and is exhausted, has a sick kid and is cleaning the house and doing laundry. Amanda shows up hours earlier than expected with no laptop no real stories to specifically talk about, but is in a rush to get something recorded and just wants to vent about the week and only has 30 minutes to do so. The following is what resulted from the mayhem.

The podcast has now reached its 200th official episode not counting bonus episodes we have done over the years. Amanda thought this would be a good time to look back at the first episodes we recorded together, but I went further and am doing a history of the show grabbing random silly clips from here and there. I also give a few stats and give a brief history of our friendship as it has grown over the years. Thanks for being a listener.

Someone had the nerve to make a movie about liberal “Elites” hunting down the “Deplorable” Trump supporters because that is the world we live in now. We also run through a wide variety of other stories and start with talking about Chad’s falling Porch. The actual show starts about 5 minutes in if you feel the need to skip that part.
