In addition to the expected questions such as, "Do you turn off your patio lights on Halloween?" and "What candy do you give out?", Sue and Tina go off the rails to discuss Hobby Lobby and Chick filla.

Re-tired: New Tread ·

2025/10/10

Taking inspiration from Tina's recent experience as a matron-of-honor at a friend's wedding, the gals talk marriage. How does cynicism from being burnt by the institution in the past translate into their thoughts on the subject now? Sue and Tina, who both love ritual, agree that traditions such as "honor & obey" need to be remembered so as not to revert to such disempowerment by current and future generations.

2025/09/26

Tina and Sue wonder where's the customer service? Tina longs for interactions that leave her, as a consumer, with a good feeling rather than disappointment.

2025/09/12

Tina initiates a subject that takes two episodes for the gals to discuss. She even riles up Sue, and emotions rise. This is a conversation to teachers, parents, and society at large. Why do we have an educational system where teachers are increasingly forced to operate as cogs? Public schools need full funding, a dynamic curriculum that changes and grows with the times, where all students are the focus.Reference: "Linchpin" by Seth GodinSue Britz: Cohost/Producer/Director/Editor/Music &

Do you and your family members dispute the "right way" of doing simple things like how to put on a new roll of toilet paper? It's not uncommon. Tina and Sue agree that there is a "right way" for all kinds of tasks, like when and how to make a bed, load and unload a dishwasher, wash and dry clothes, and wash a car. Must we pushed towards divorce for the correct care of a tube of toothpaste?! The gals agree that you've got to pick and choose your battles. Though, of course, toilet paper should roll

Do you agree that you'd rather put New Tread on your old technology than see it go to the landfill? Why is technology so frustratingly disposable? Consumerism? Capitalism? When the cost of repair is as a new piece of technology, it sees our choice is already made for us. Printers, cell phones, rubber gloves, oh my! What is the solution?
