Trick 'er Treat (Recorded Oct 21, 2022)

2022/11/06

Smell my feet...go on...smell 'em...because Halloween 2022 isn't at all like Halloween 2020 when we had candy shoots and left out candy bowls for the kiddos. We actually get to answer the door, hear jokes, and hand out the sweets. What's not sweet is the split up of Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen. Could the problem be Tom Brady is a 45-year-old man who has a problem with work-life balance? Is it something else? @DangeRuss isn't feeling the love, either. But hey. Nothing brings the internet together

Maren on a Mission

2022/09/13

It just so happens we recorded this episode days after a Maren Morris concert in Redmond, Washington...and days before the headlines read that Maren had "Just Turned a Tucker Carlson Insult into $150K for the Trans Community". (Feel free to Google it, but the short of it is Tucker called Maren a "lunatic" after she defended transgender kids and she used his dig to launch a t-shirt line featuring her name w/ the words "Lunatic Country Music Person". This raised a ton of money!!!). If you've followed

RIP, ONJ, We Honestly Love You

This one hurts deeply. Losing Olivia Newton-John feels like we lost a piece of our childhood. It's also been a tough loss for the breast cancer community which has had ONJ on their side remaining positive through the years, channeling much of her time and energy to advocacy. This led us to a discussion about genetic cancer testing and what to do with the information you're given upon getting your results. Also, Laurie officiated her first wedding ceremony, and she nailed it! Next, she'll perform

Whether it's a wedding that brings family from all over together, or a baby shower for your son and his wife's first child, or a picnic and concert with an old college chum you haven't seen in a while - life feels much better when you have something to look forward to. Also in this episode, we celebrate those who have overcome hardships, but not without acknowledging those who have difficulty getting out of hardships maybe partly because they they're not heard or seen, or maybe sometimes it's

2022/07/30

Claire hires a shopper for the first time to help her pick out clothes for a special event. We talk about the benefits of having a "shopper" pick out clothes for you, especially if you don't know that looks good on you anymore for whatever reason -- whether it's because of your age, or Covid made you not care about what you're wearing anymore, or you don't know what's in style, or you'd just like a completely objective opinion about what looks good on you. A shopper can cut a lot of your shopping

^ just one of many memes out there since the US Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe vs Wade decision. But, yes, we do want to talk about the elephant in the womb....and, yeah, this episode gets deep. This is probably a good time to remind our listeners that the views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and do not necessarily reflect the views or position of our radio stations.

Seattle Space Needle is 60 years old, but it doesn't look a day over 50. Claire, Laurie Hardie & Anna D go over a little history of the landmark. We also discuss rethinking the mask mandates during this shifting pandemic. Don't you want to relive the first months of the pandemic in 2020?

2022/04/02

Our country is, again, divided. This time over Will Smith and Chris Rock. Listen as Laurie Hardie, Claire and Anna D dissect, pull apart and psychoanalyze the SLAP heard around the world. Keep in mind, this episode was recorded on 3/31, the day before Will announced his resignation from the Oscars academy on 4/1. It's no April Fools. This is real. Our biggest take away is the realization that Ye now might be a safer bet than Will when the Academy sends out invites....or not.

This week Whoopi Goldberg returns from her 2 week suspension and Claire, Anna and Laurie reflect on what the controversy was about in the first place, why it rose to the level of backlash that it did, lessons to be learned from it, and how a school's attempt to censor "Maus" -- the topic that started it all -- only backfired and increased awareness for Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel.
