Death, the inevitable culmination of life. It's the one thing we all have in common. We understand it's not a fun topic - but being able to talk about these things allows us to better understand how people process and deal with grief. We also acknowledge the profound privilege of life itself, understanding that not everyone embarks on this journey, making each breath a precious gift to be cherished and celebrated. On today's episode we will talk about some of our personal experiences with death - But don't worry: we managed to still have some funny moments - because you got to be the light, when it's dark. This episode is dedicated to our "Superman" David Cleverley (1985-2011). You are incredible missed. Enjoy!

We can't thank you enough. You've stuck with us for 200 straight weeks. It's hard to believe that 200 weeks ago, the world was in the early stages of a global pandemic. Fear and uncertainty were everywhere; so we choose to laugh instead. Unbeknownst to us at the time, many of you were looking to do the same; and you found us! Over the last 200 weeks, we've shared many emotions and insights together; laughs, cries, aha moments & some TMI (mostly from Ryan). This little community helped us get through some dark times and we hope this little podcast has done the same for you. So here's to another 200 & thank you for the first!

The new year brings with it, what feels like a fresh start; an opportunity to fix what isn't working and focus on what is working. We often use NYE as the placeholder for our goals but don't often prepare ourselves properly to actually turn those goals into reality. As a result we find ourselves less ambitious and more predictable by the time February rolls around. This is where we come in; and with us to help you achieve your goals, we brought our good friend Tarot Lori. Did you know that NYE isn't the only opportunity to reset? In fact, you may be surprised to know that energetically and astrologically speaking, you have many times throughout the year to "release the old and embrace the bold". We talk about this and so much more with Tarot Lori including the upcoming release of her highly anticipated new book "Burn Your Shit, the life-changing magic of rituals". Enjoy!

Hey guys. Ryan made a comment about Brittanys book, on how it's a one sided story, because Brit said the family's f**ked. One of Brittany Spears family wrote a book about their family. It's called "Things I should have said. By Jamie spears, her sister. Thought to let you guys know!!

kitty litter is happening in schools in the u.s. I'm in Utah and it's been brought up. it's absolutely ridiculous! just because a handful of kids think they are animals doesn't mean all the other kids should have to be exposed to this nonsense. those kids should go to animal training not human school. it's discusting that society is allowing is.
