In the words of Rob Thomas - man, it's a hot one. Today's topic, that is! Sparked on by a recent podcast we've heard, and some comparably unpopular opinions we have, we're talking about the epidemic of declining masculinity. We're asking, "what hath become of chivalry?" And we're wondering, "where have all the cowboys gone?" It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

We're back! Vacation is over and, once again, it's back to real life. And anyone who has been with us from the very beginning knows that this is a major point for debate between the two of us. We're talking about that! And, of course, the nonsense that goes along with getting back to real life. Such good times! It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

At long last - the Pokemon episode is here! Talking about it all from the history of the games to the recent trend of investing in cards like they're bearer bonds. Andy's giving out lessons on where the hype comes from, and we even close it out by opening some packs on air. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

We're winding down from Andy's 20 year high school reunion, and all the thoughts and feelings it's brought up. We're remembering what it was like to be in high school, especially so long ago, and talking about what it's like holding on to relationships from back then. Or Not. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

From any time to every time we find something that works for us - whether it's to lose weight, to get stronger, or to feel better either physically or mentally - we feel some weird, primal urge to suggest those things to other people. In fact, we insist upon it. But we keep forgetting that we're not all the same, and that not everyone responds to "fixes" the way we might. But are they fixes? Are we making good choices for ourselves? Are we even being offered the choices to make? That's what we're talking about. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

Sorry, mom! If you don't want the details, turn back now. Because we're talking about what the kids are calling "sex work." Some people call it "adult entertainment," others may call it, simply, "porn." For us - brace yourselves - it's a side job. It's a way for us (and for others out there) to express ourselves and our relationship, while making a few bucks on the side. And we're taking the time to break it down and dispel some preconceived notions people may have about it. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

We've been saying for over two years now that we'd like to have more guests come on and talk with us, and yet it's still not shaking out. But if and when it finally does, what WOULD we talk about? Would we compile a list of talking points beforehand, or just let it fly? That's what we're talking about. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.

Cicero said that gratitude is the parent of all other virtues. And it's true! A sense of gratitude can't combat feelings of anxiety, depression, anger and hostility, and even boredom. We - us, here - are constantly thanking our lucky stars for what we have and what we have to spread around. But it takes practice, and that's what we're talking about. It's amazing what you can learn about someone just by talking to them.
