Internet of Things

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2022/01/09

Jim and Barb return to our respective homes and fire up the mics again. The surprise topic is the "Internet of Things" and it should come as a surprise to few of you that Jim railroads the conversation into raising awareness on how giving local law enforcement access to a civilian surveillance network is not a good thing. Other Topics Include: • Redefining a Week • Lemons Rally Recap • Local Weather Updates • Family Christmas/Chili Debate Leave us a voice message: 402+913-0054 Follow Barb on

Barb's Boston Recap

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/12/01

We couldn't have Barb leave without recording one more live episode. It is still weird. Real weird. Also Jim breathes into the microphone a lot. Anyway if Barb ever wants to tell you any stories about her trip to Boston you can cut her off and tell her that you listened to this episode of the podcast. There really isn't much else she could tell you that we don't cover. Barb's schedule included: • Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum • Newbury Street • Blue Hills Hike • Thanksgiving • Making a Frame •

The Brownie Bake Off [Special ASMR Episode]

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/11/24

For a limited time Jim and Barb are both working from home in the same home in Boston. To celebrate this momentous occasion one of our favorite listeners, Camille, baked us 4 different brownies following very strict scientific processes so we could compare and contrast. We had Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, and Camille's homemade recipe. We judged them based on look, smell, taste and texture. Do you think we could tell the difference and correctly identify which is which? Tune in to find

Life Updates

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/11/14

We forgot to record for a while and we didn’t get to a topic so we just decided to cut this episode as Life Updates. Unfortunately we had a slew of technical issues which meant we recorded way way too much audio and needed to edit this way down and it took a while to get what we wanted it out of it. Hopefully you enjoy it. Topics Include: • Leprechaun Movie Review • Nightmare on Elm Street • More Socks • Foster Cats • Anamanaguchi • Jury Duty • Wrestling Leave us a voice message: 402+913-0054 Follow

Barb Tackles Horror Films

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/10/12

Barb went to Fantastic Fest for a dizzying number of days to watch a dizzying quantity of movies. Her biggest take away is that she's not as afraid of Horror movies as she thought she was so Jim digs deep into her psyche to try and figure out why if she likes some horror movies that she has let so much past emotional baggage get in the way of enjoying classic films. Jim also gives Barb some homework, and Barb doesn't like homework. Other Topics Include: • Spoopy Season • Actually Working From Home •

Parents Commentary on Family Vacations

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/09/21

We knew that after recording our episode on Family Vacations that our parents would want to give their input on the stories that we attempted to tell so Barb went on location to record their live responses. People tell you to never go into show business with pets or kids but they never warn you against doing things with your own parents. The recording is a bit chaotic but we got what we needed to out of it. Other Topics Include: • Bad Omens • Symantic Versioning • Hand Tools • The Craft Leave us a

Bachelor (in Paradise)

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/09/05

What happens when Jim is in charge of editing and publishing an episode of the Podcast instead of Barb? Well it comes out pretty quickly after recording that's for sure. Barb started to wade into the murky waters of watching The Bachelor so we talk about why she made the choice and what lies ahead for her in this life changing decision. Apparently Bachelor in Paradise is a gateway drug because it hooked Barb very quickly and she's already a super-fan. Other Topics Include: • Minnesota State Fair •

Family Vacations

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/09/03

Nothing makes memories like smashing your family into a mini van and driving across several states to go see some old rocks or whatever. This week we challenge each other to remember some specific memories and also welcome our Niece and Nephew to share some of their memories as well. Mostly we agree that human memory is fallible and mostly what we think we remember is the stories about the trips that our parents repeated. Other Topics Include: • Barb Recording on Location • Jim's New Scooter •

Batteries

2021/07/30

Batteries. Do you need some right now to replace the old ones? How long have they been sitting in your remote even though they are dead. We kind of talk about that. It's on the list of things we meander around as we chit-chat and laugh at ourselves.

What's In Your Car?

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/07/06

This episode we try to talk about those things that are always in your car no matter what, but since it's a topic that Barb picked we stray from her vision pretty quickly and we never pick it up again. That's how things tend to go, but you aren't here for us staying on topic, you are here for the laughs. Other Topics Include: • Plants • Our Mother's Birthday • Snuggies • Seatbelts • Keanu Reeves Leave us a voice message: 402+913-0054 Follow Barb on Untappd: https://untappd.com/user/dorkybarb Send us

Internet Browsers

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/06/12

On this episode of Jim and Barb Work from Home we go deep (okay not actually that deep) into our peculiar choices of Internet browsers and why we pick what we have picked and why it doesn't actually matter or make any sense. Sometimes you just click the big blue "E" to get online okay? Other Topics Include: • Misfits & Ted Lasso • Lawn Care • Show Stats • Friday Leave us a voice message: 402+913-0054 Follow Barb on Untappd: https://untappd.com/user/dorkybarb Send us an email:

Texas

Jim and Barb Work From Home ·

2021/05/31

WARNING: BARB'S AUDIO IS TERRIBLE IN THIS EPISODE! I don't want to really get into it, but it's not good for a number of reasons but I didn't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater so you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. Next episode Barb will apologize profusely for her misdeeds. Stay tuned for that. But... this episode we talked about Texas and rated it on a 5-star scale? I'm not sure that Barb knows a lot about things that are uniquely Texas but we rolled with the punches. Other

Video Games

2021/04/28

This episode we try to talk a bit about video games. Per usual we get there but there is a lot of shenanigans that ensue. The important thing is that our brother and our parents listen to this episode and hopefully write in to the show and tell their sides of the story. Other topics include: • Additional Vaccine Talk • Donuts • The Blessing of Barb's Beer Bonanza • Twin Peaks • "I press a button and I lay eggs." • Communism • Your Letters Leave us a voice message: 402+913-0054 Follow Barb on

2021/04/13

Does Fargo count as a Minnesota movie? Probably. Other topics include: • The Neil's We Know • Vaccine Talk • Haircuts • National Siblings Day • Squirrels • Barb's Awkward Story • The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Leave us a voice message: 402+913-0054 Send us an email: jimandbarbworkfromhome@gmail.com Join us on

Roller Derby

2021/02/26

This episode we talk about Roller Derby. It's a pretty huge topic so we mostly just scratch the surface. Did the movie Whip It help create the popularity or did was it created because the popularity already existed? What's going to happen to Derby after the Pandemic? How might you convince somebody that Roller Derby is interesting? We ask more questions than we answer.
