Ever found yourself muttering "Happy New Year" with about as much excitement as a trip to the dentist? That's us, Derek and Rachel, navigating the highs and lows of festive ambivalence, pet shenanigans, and the beautiful mess of life. Join us on a journey that promises both laughter and a dash of insight, as we share our candid reflections on personal growth, societal quirks, and the pursuit of a more enlightened perspective—despite still writing 2014 on our checks.

Has jury duty ever felt like an unofficial adulting badge? We get real about the obligations that come with civic responsibility and the art of adulting, like dealing with surprise birthdays at work and tending to a gassy pet. From Loki's unwavering desire to be in the thick of things to our quest for better sleep and hydration habits, our chat is an open book of anecdotes and musings that'll keep you nodding (and maybe snorting) in agreement.

Finally, we're unpacking the traditional gender roles of Southwestern Virginia, sprinkling in a dad joke and a trivia nugget for good measure. Our exchange might just have you pondering your own experiences with societal expectations and decision-making biases, all while planning your next nature escape after our reminisces of Amicalola Falls. So, sit back, relax, and get ready for a series of conversations that are as diverse and intriguing as the trails we love to hike.
