Join us as we reminisce about records Lisa wouldn’t add into rotation, the ingrown toenail incident, Paul’s need for a pop of color and his never-ending obsession with The Strokes.

And perhaps it will inspire you to reach out to the friend that has been a real pop of color in your life!

Shout out to honorable mentions - Gary Gorman, Joe DeAngelis and WEQX – much, much love.

Erin & Lisa went rogue and wore pajamas! You need these in your life. We promise. https://amzn.to/4wOvBbo

In addition to a lesson on animal taxonomy from Lisa, we share lots of laughs, memories, and the silver linings of a life filled with wins, losses and abundant love.  If you are willing and able to hold on for the ride, lifelong friendships steadily become the foundation for all of your other adventures and challenges.

 

As our post-Mother’s Day episode, a special recognition to Erin’s Mom, who has not only loved her daughters, but extended that love to their friends, too.  It takes a village.  Love you, JeanO.

 

Shoutout to True Training Studio for welcoming all-comers to her exhausting yet positive community…even if she makes us lift heavy things - including a baby or two.  We suffer and succeed together.

Show note: Todd’s shadow boxes were made in Nampa, Idaho, and not the Yukon Territory.  #MadeInUSA

We fact checked the stats and less than 2% of the world's population has natural red hair, making it the rarest hair color in the world - so the chances of these two beauties meeting on a small island off the coast of Rhode Island we have inaccurately calculated to be a bazillion to one.

Shout out to Damian Cartier (www.damiancartier.net) and The Andrew Brothers Dueling Pianos (www.theandrewbrothers.com) T

his episode is loaded with shit you need to know. Literally.
