On this below-zero morning in Chicago, Eva and Don chat about why our closets seem to harbor parkas even in warmer climates. This "on-the-go" episode captures the essence of a Chicago winter morning, providing insights, laughs, and perhaps a few shivers along the way.
How does Gen X measure up in the formality department? Join Don and Eva as they discuss cultural nuances, family dynamics, and the mathematical formula you have to use when addressing family members. When are you on a first-name basis? When must you use titles like "auntie," "uncle," "mister," or "miss."
Do you remember the first good deed you ever did? How often do you find yourself putting on your superhero cape to help a stranger in need? In this episode, Eva and Don share the lessons they learned about kindness, compassion, and goodwill - and how they learned those lessons.
One might expect Trinidadian/South Carolinian and Delawarean/Alabamian childhoods to be worlds apart, but this episode will make you wonder if they secretly shared a childhood handbook. It's the episode that proves that hilarious family stories (about goats) are universal.
How did you learn about the birds and the bees? The circle of life? It turns out that explaining the mysteries of life and death isn't as straightforward as the birds, bees, and swallowing watermelon seeds.
It seems the world is trying HARD to convince Gen X that self-care should be "a thing." From meditation apps to 24-hour spas, the relaxation industry has set its sights on the workaholic generation. Why isn't Gen X buying it?
Here's part two of our AITA (Am I the A**hole?) Pregnancy, kids, tired parents, vacation, a stack of pancakes... what could go wrong? What's the line between being inconsiderate and being misunderstood?
Is she a bridezilla or a blushing bride? This week on Chat and Bother, Don and Eva weigh in on some wedding drama from AITA (Am I the A**hole?) on Reddit.
Has anyone ever just walked in and stolen your name, idea, or other intellectual property? What happens when someone steals your million-dollar idea? Can you copyright a brilliant thought before it's even out there? Can you trademark a name that someone else is already using?
How angry would you have to be to change the name you've had for 54 years to distance yourself from your adult children? Our guess is pretty mad. In this bonus episode, Don and Eva talk about Brian McKnight's decision to change his name to his newborn son's name so that he can have a new junior.
