    First Flags, Fuzzy Memories, & Fart Smiles
    2026/08/25
    This week on Herm’s House, we came prepared with absolutely no notes… so naturally, things went exactly as expected.Herm kicks things off with a very special edition of Herm’s Football Minute after Gordy finally accomplishes something they’ve been working toward for years—pulling his first flag in a game! Between the Vail Vikings getting their first win of the season and Herm nearly jumping out of his shoes celebrating, it was a pretty big football weekend.From there, the conversation takes a sharp left turn into childhood memories.Herm and Kristin start comparing how far back they can actually remember, which somehow leads to broken ankles, Christmas Segas, snakes, preschool naps, fire drills, being bullied over drawings, Sesame Street Live, recorders, Three Blind Mice, Hot Cross Buns, and the realization that siblings can remember the exact same childhood completely differently.They also wonder which moments their own kids will carry with them forever—and how seemingly tiny experiences can shape the way we see ourselves years later.And because this is Herm’s House, a meaningful conversation about childhood, memory, and different life paths eventually turns into alternate timelines, military jobs, forgotten movie quotes, mysterious noises, and the discovery that Herm apparently has a very recognizable “fart smile.”No notes. No plan. Just another completely normal conversation inside Herm’s House.💡 In This EpisodeGordy finally pulls his first flagThe Vail Vikings get their first win of the seasonHerm’s Football Minute returnsCelebrating the little victories in youth sportsA busy weekend that somehow felt “quiet”Game Night and the Colonel Sanders mysteryHow far back can you actually remember?Herm’s earliest childhood memoriesBroken ankles, snakes, and Christmas SegasKristin dropping out of preschoolFire drills and childhood sensory memoriesGetting bullied over childhood drawingsGlasses, nicknames, and things that stick with youHow siblings can remember the same childhood differentlyWondering what memories our own kids will keepAlternate timelines and what jobs we might have chosenWhy Kristin thinks she could have been an aircraft maintainerThree Blind Mice, Hot Cross Buns, and recorder nostalgiaRandom childhood songs we somehow still rememberHerm’s allergies trying to take him outFerris Bueller quotes gone wrongThe newly discovered “fart smile”⚡ Episode Highlights“He pulled a flag!”“I almost jumped out of my shoes.”“I dropped out of preschool.”“What memories are actually going to shape him?”“We lived the same childhood and remember it completely differently.”“Life moves pretty fast.”“You had the fart smile.”🎙️ Chapters00:00 – Knee Injuries & Starting the Show02:30 – Herm’s Football Minute03:00 – Gordy Pulls His First Flag04:00 – The Vikings Get Their First Win05:00 – Our Apparently “Quiet” Weekend07:00 – Game Night & Colonel Sanders09:00 – How Far Back Can You Remember?10:00 – Broken Ankles & Childhood Stories12:00 – Christmas Sega Memories15:00 – Snakes, Siblings & Early Memories18:30 – Kristin Drops Out of Preschool20:00 – Fire Drills & Sensory Memories26:00 – Childhood Bullying & Things That Stick29:00 – Sesame Street Live & Family Memories30:30 – How Siblings Remember Childhood Differently33:00 – Recorders, Three Blind Mice & Hot Cross Buns35:30 – Allergies & Random Texas Talk37:00 – No Notes, No Problem38:00 – Ferris Bueller & The Fart Smile40:00 – Wrapping Up🎤 Sound Bites“He pulled a flag!”“I dropped out of preschool.”“Bye-bye, Ernie.”“What memories are actually going to shape him?”“We lived the same life and remember it differently.”“You had the fart smile.”“Life moves pretty fast.”🔑 KeywordsHerm’s House Podcast, family podcast, parenting podcast, marriage podcast, childhood memories, funny childhood stories, youth football, flag football, football parents, football coach, parenting memories, sibling memories, childhood trauma, nostalgia, millennial nostalgia, preschool memories, funny couple podcast, veteran family, military family, family stories, parenting humor, comedy podcast, Tucson podcast, Arizona podcast🤝 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORSANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC🌐 www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com📍 2544 E. 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716📞 520-620-5320Thank you for supporting Herm’s House Podcast and helping us continue sharing the laughs, memories, family stories, and everyday chaos happening inside Herm’s House.📌 Support the ShowIf this episode brought back some childhood memories of your own:⭐ Leave us a review👍 Like the episode💬 Tell us in the comments:What is the EARLIEST memory you can remember?And for the very important follow-up question…Do you have a fart smile? 💨😂Follow @HermsHousePodcast and subscribe wherever you listen so you don’t miss the next episode.Support the show

  • Move-In Day, Mom Tears, & Millennial Memories

    Move-In Day, Mom Tears, & Millennial Memories
    2026/08/19
    This week on Herm’s House, the moment Herm and Kristin have been talking about for months finally arrives: it’s time to move Layla into college.They recap the drive to Texas, navigating move-in day at Texas State, unloading an entire dorm room into carts that somehow only needed to travel about eight feet, climbing stairs with way too many boxes, and realizing that college dorms apparently believe one outlet is enough for an entire human being.Between assembling furniture, running back out for surge protectors, meeting the roommate, and watching an entirely new chapter of their daughter’s life begin, Herm and Kristin talk honestly about the strange mix of pride, excitement, jealousy, worry, and sadness that comes with dropping your child off and driving away.The conversation then takes a very millennial turn when Layla says her “CD skipped”—despite barely knowing what a CD is. That leads to a trip down memory lane about dial-up internet, LimeWire, rewinding tapes, rolling down windows, hanging up phones, filming things on actual film, and all the phrases younger generations still use without knowing where they came from.And now that Layla is twelve hours away, Kristin faces a brand-new parenting challenge: having Life360 and somehow resisting the urge to ask why her daughter appears to be standing in the middle of a random Texas field.It’s a funny, nostalgic, emotional episode about growing up, letting go, trusting the kids you raised, and learning how to be a parent when your child technically doesn’t need permission anymore.💡 In This EpisodeTaking Layla to Texas State for move-in daySurviving the college dorm unloading processWhy the move-in carts made absolutely no senseDad refusing help from the young college guysSetting up a dorm with approximately one electrical outletAlexa, TVs, mini-fridges, and dorm-room technologyWatching your daughter begin her college experienceThe college experience Herm and Kristin never gotLearning to let your adult child figure things outWhy “your CD skipped” makes absolutely no sense to Gen ZRewinding tapes and VHS moviesRolling down car windowsHanging up actual phonesDial-up internet and the trauma of someone picking up the landlineLimeWire ruining the family computerWhy we still say “film this”Life360 and trying not to stalk your college kidParenting from twelve hours awayGiving kids freedom while still hoping they make good decisionsMissing the college football game — and Herm’s Football MinuteAnnouncing the upcoming Veterans WalkUpcoming Society of BS events⚡ Episode Highlights“Did your CD just skip?”“What makes a CD skip, Layla?”“I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one.”“You literally called the internet.”“I want so badly to text her and ask what she’s doing.”“I have to let her do her thing.”“It feels like chips of my heart are getting taken away.”“She’s going to be fine.”🎙️ Chapters00:00 – Technical Difficulties… Again01:40 – We Dropped Layla Off at College03:00 – Surviving Texas State Move-In Day05:30 – Dorm Rooms, Boxes & Way Too Few Outlets08:00 – Alexa Is Still Connected to the House10:00 – Dinner on the Riverwalk & Extremely Clear Ice12:30 – The College Experience We Never Had15:00 – Dad vs. The College Move-In Crew18:00 – “Your CD Skipped”19:30 – Things Kids Say But Don’t Understand21:00 – Rewind, Roll Up the Window & Hang Up the Phone22:00 – Dial-Up Internet & LimeWire Trauma24:00 – Why Do We Still Say “Film It?”25:00 – Life360 Changes Everything27:00 – Parenting an Adult Child From Afar29:00 – Trusting the Kids You Raised31:00 – Missing Them While Letting Them Grow34:00 – No Herm’s Football Minute This Week35:30 – Veterans Walk Announcement37:00 – Upcoming Society of BS Events39:00 – Dinner Duty & Wrapping Up🎤 Sound Bites“Your CD just skipped.”“You literally called the internet.”“I have to let her do her thing.”“It feels like chips of my heart are getting taken away.”“She’s going to be fine.”“I’m still doing the mom watch.”“You don’t need permission anymore.”“We’re on a new journey.”🔑 KeywordsHerm’s House Podcast, Move-In Day Mom Tears Millennial Memories, college move in, Texas State University, sending daughter to college, college parents, empty nest, parenting adult children, dorm move in, family podcast, parenting podcast, marriage podcast, millennial nostalgia, CD players, dial up internet, LimeWire, landline phones, Life360, letting go as a parent, family transitions, funny family stories, veteran family, husband and wife podcast, Texas road trip, millennial parents🤝 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORSANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC🌐 www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com📍 2544 E. 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716📞 520-620-5320Thank you for supporting Herm’s House Podcast and helping us continue sharing the laughs, family stories, and real-life moments happening ...

  • Herm’s House Podcast | Broken Fingers, College Goodbyes, & Football Fights

    Herm’s House Podcast | Broken Fingers, College Goodbyes, & Football Fights
    2026/08/11
    This week on Herm’s House, the Hermosillo household is experiencing a little bit of everything: gray hairs, ER visits, college goodbyes, football drama, and some very questionable crossing-guard flirting.Herm and Kristin kick things off with the realities of getting older—phantom hairs, gray beard hairs, and the unanswered question of how one single hair seemingly decides overnight that it’s done producing color.Then things get a little more serious when Mariano calls with the words no parent wants to hear: “Mom, I need to go to the ER.” Thankfully, the damage is limited to one very dislocated pinky, but with his senior football season underway, even one finger feels like a pretty big deal.The conversation shifts into a much more emotional chapter as the family prepares to take Layla to Texas State. Kristin opens up about finally breaking down in therapy over the upcoming goodbye, while Herm shares the moment a country song unexpectedly had Gordy sobbing over how much he’s going to miss his sister.They reflect on watching their kids grow up, the weird little things parents miss after their children leave home, and the mix of fear, pride, excitement, and sadness that comes with sending your first daughter off to college.And because no Herm’s House episode can stay emotional for too long… Herm’s Football Minute is officially BACK.From Gordy’s first big run to a sideline disagreement that somehow turned into rumors of a full-blown altercation, Herm explains what actually happened during the Vail Vikings’ first game of the season—and Kristin reminds him that sometimes his “normal talking voice” sounds a whole lot more aggressive to everyone else.Add in a three-year-old giving Coach Herm his first flower, a neighborhood mom potentially shooting her shot at the crossing guard, and some big upcoming Herm’s House and Society of BS events, and this episode is exactly what you’d expect from another week inside Herm’s House.💡 In This EpisodePhantom hairs and the realities of getting olderWhy Herm’s beard is suddenly sprouting gray hairsMariano’s surprise trip to the ERA seriously dislocated pinkyNavigating an injury during senior-year footballMeeting an 80-year-old gym-goer who has technically died three timesGratitude, borrowed time, and appreciating where you arePreparing to take Layla to Texas StateKristin getting emotional in therapy about the goodbyeWhy a Randy Rogers Band song made Gordy completely break downHelping younger siblings process a major family changeWatching your children become adultsThe little things parents miss when their kids move awayThe return of Herm’s Football MinuteGordy’s first big run of the seasonA sideline disagreement that grew through the rumor millHerm’s apparently “aggressive” coaching voiceWhy youth sports mean so much beyond the scoreboardCoach Herm receiving his first flowerWas Herm getting hit on while working as a crossing guard?Upcoming Veterans Day Walk for a CauseSociety of BS Game Night and Not Your Average Trivia⚡ Episode Highlights“Mom, I need to go to the ER.

    Old Ladies, Long Drives, & Little Dumplings | Season 3 Episode 9
    2026/07/28
    This week on Herm’s House, Herm and Kristin are catching up on a weekend that somehow included public speaking, sleeping senior citizens, bar hopping, family golf, Costco gas-station frustration, and some unexpected relationship advice.Herm shares what happened when he was invited to speak at a nonprofit fundraiser—and discovered that at least two members of the audience had fallen asleep during his speech. Between one woman waking up just long enough to thank him for his service and another loudly asking, “Is he still going?” Herm begins questioning whether his storytelling skills are as captivating as he thought.The couple also talks about finding the bar where millennials apparently belong, taking the entire family to Topgolf, and discovering that Gordy may officially be ready for his first set of golf clubs. Kristin reveals the unusual golf tip that dramatically improved her swing, while Herm becomes determined to figure out how experienced golfers make a 240-yard drive look effortless.The conversation then shifts to Herm’s growing frustration with people at the Costco gas pumps, his new role as an elementary-school crossing guard, and the difference between being impatient with adults and protective of children.Kristin wraps up the conversation by sharing a relationship habit couples therapists recommend: giving your partner your full attention during the first ten minutes after getting home. Naturally, this leads to a discussion about phones, connection, accountability, Herm’s little dumpling game, and the type of attention he would personally prefer.It’s an episode filled with aging, golf, family chaos, relationship lessons, and the everyday moments that make life inside Herm’s House so entertaining.💡 In This EpisodeHerm speaks at a nonprofit fundraiserAccidentally putting audience members to sleepThe woman who asked, “Is he still going?”Sharing the story of the mentor who helped save Herm’s Air Force careerFinding the right nightlife crowd after turning 40Rock music, country bars, and millennial playlistsTaking the entire family to TopgolfGordy proving he may be ready for golf clubsKristin’s unexpectedly effective golf tipCompeting for the longest driveHerm’s Costco gas-pump frustrationEntering the grumpy-old-veteran eraBecoming an elementary-school crossing guardProtecting children from impatient driversForgetting names, brain fog, and getting olderGiving your partner your full attentionThe importance of the first ten minutes after getting homePhones, connection, and Herm’s little dumpling gameFootball responsibilities, snack bars, and another busy week⚡ Episode Highlights“I put a bunch of old ladies to sleep.”“Is he still going?”“We’re golf people now.”“There is zero urgency.”“You’re just getting into your grumpy old veteran era.”“The first ten minutes set the tone for the whole evening.”“I only need one kind of attention.”🎙️ Chapters00:00 – Weekend Amnesia & Putting Old Ladies to Sleep01:30 – Herm’s Fundraiser Speech04:45 – “Is He Still Going?”06:30 – Rock Music, Country Bars & Finding the Millennial Crowd10:25 – The Family Goes to Topgolf12:00 – Gordy Earns His Chance at Golf Clubs13:30 – Kristin’s Golf Tip & The Sure Thing15:00 – Competing for the Longest Drive17:00 – Costco Gas-Pump Rage21:00 – Herm’s Grumpy Old Veteran Era22:00 – Life as an Elementary-School Crossing Guard25:30 – Work, Socializing & Forgetting Names29:30 – The First Ten Minutes After Getting Home32:30 – Full Attention, Phones & Little Dumplings35:00 – Gray Hairs & Getting Older37:30 – Football Chaos & The Week Ahead39:00 – Closing Time🎤 Sound Bites“I put a bunch of old ladies to sleep.”“Is he still going?”“We’re golf people now.”“You’re getting into your grumpy old veteran era.”“The first ten minutes set the tone for the whole evening.”“Give me your full attention.”“I only need one kind of attention.”“No crying on the yacht.”🔑 KeywordsHerm’s House Podcast, family podcast, marriage podcast, husband and wife podcast, funny podcast, relationship communication, couples communication, Topgolf, family golf, golf beginners, Costco gas, grumpy veteran, Air Force veteran, military stories, public speaking, nonprofit fundraiser, crossing guard, parenting, family activities, millennial nightlife, getting older, gray hair, phone distractions, quality time, relationship advice, football family, Tucson podcast🤝 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORSANCHOR FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS GROUP, LLC🌐 www.anchorfinancialsolutionsgroup.com📍 2544 E. 10th Street, Tucson, AZ 85716📞 520-620-5320Thank you for supporting Herm’s House Podcast and helping us continue sharing the laughs, lessons, family stories, and everyday chaos happening inside Herm’s House.📌 Support the ShowIf this episode made you laugh or reminded you of someone in your own family:⭐ Leave us a review👍 Like the episode...

    Rage Bait, Really Bad Golf, & The Karaoke Cowboy
    2026/06/26

    After weeks of nonstop travel, life finally slows down… sort of.

    This week, Herm and Kristin share stories from an unforgettable Father’s Day that included their first real round of golf, a surprise karaoke night with a legendary “Karaoke Cowboy,” and the hilarious realization that today’s kids have turned annoying their parents into an actual trend called “rage bait.”

    Along the way, they talk about learning new hobbies as adults, celebrating the little moments with family, surviving molten-hot pizza logs, and why parenting teenagers requires equal parts patience and humor.

    2026/06/18

    After a whirlwind few weeks of travel, concerts, road trips, college orientation, baseball, floating rivers, and realizing we’re definitely not as young as we used to be, we’re back with another chaotic life update.

    This episode takes us from a VIP experience with rap legend Juvenile in Las Vegas to helping our oldest daughter prepare for college life at Texas State University. Along the way, we accidentally lose Gordy on a river float, survive a family road trip through Texas, revisit the Alamo, and continue learning what it means to navigate parenting in two completely different stages of life at the same time.

    One kid is preparing to leave the nest.

    The other is floating away down a river.

    Just another week at Herm’s House.
