🎙️ After an unexpected break, Herm and Kristin are finally back behind the mic — and they’ve got a LOT to catch everyone up on.

From flying across the world to Paris with almost no sleep… to surviving Disneyland Paris corn dogs, graduation emotions, travel softball tournaments, career changes, and the reality of sending their oldest daughter off to college — this episode feels like sitting in the living room catching up with family.

There’s laughter, chaos, emotional moments, travel stories, Disney disappointments, proud parent moments, and the usual Herm’s House banter that somehow turns every life event into a comedy special.

⚡ One minute they’re discussing French museums and international food tours… the next they’re arguing about washing machines, periods, and whether Herm’s voice needs medical attention.

And honestly? That’s exactly what Herm’s House is supposed to be.

Baseball season is officially back, and so is the chaos. In this episode, Herm and Kristin jump into the beautiful mess of youth sports life — from early morning picture day confusion to the long wait before game time, all while trying to keep a six-year-old locked in and ready to play.

They also take a heartfelt turn as they reflect on their 8th wedding anniversary, rewatching old wedding footage, remembering Kristin’s grandfather, and sharing the sweet way Gordy connects to family members he never got the chance to meet. Of course, because this is Herm’s House, the episode also includes bad dreams, neighborhood drama, parenting banter, and one hilariously unfortunate design choice involving the letter K.

If you love real-life marriage talk, parenting moments, sports-parent struggles, and the kind of conversations that somehow go from sentimental to ridiculous in under a minute, this one’s for you.

💡 In This Episode

• Baseball season kicks off for Gordy and the Rincon Rangers
• The madness of sports picture day and awkward game schedules
• Herm and Kristin celebrate 8 years of marriage
• Memories from their wedding day and family legacy
• Gordy’s emotional connection to Kristin’s grandfather
• Kristin shares a nightmare that had her up at 3 a.m.
• A sweet coaching moment with a nervous young player
• The accidental neighborhood “wrong kind of K” controversy
• Marriage banter, sports-parent life, and everyday chaos

In Part 2 of our People Helping People conversation, we continue the honest discussion around parenting, military transition, mental health, and why community support matters more than ever.

This episode blends humor and heart as we share real-life stories — the messy parenting moments, the difficult transitions after military service, and the quiet struggles that don’t always get talked about. We dig deeper into what it means to say “it’s okay to not be okay,” and why reaching out isn’t weakness — it’s strength.

Whether you’re navigating military transition, raising kids, facing mental health challenges, or simply trying to hold it together some days, this conversation is for you. You are not alone.

✨ Episode Highlights

• Real parenting moments — the funny and the hard

• Military transition and identity shifts

• Why mental health awareness matters

• The importance of strong support systems

• Community outreach and people helping people

• Encouragement to reach out when you need support

🔊 Sound Bites
