When we are "Nice" to people might we being doing them a disservice? When we encounter a situation where the opportunity arises to be kind, do we sometimes take the easy road and are nice in a situation because it is easier for us?

Are "Nice" and "Kind" interchangeable? On the surface they appear to be, but being nice to someone may be the easy path for us. Being kind is not always easy, and it may be demonstrated through tough love.

Being kind is intrinsic, and represents what we are, where being nice is primarily an extrinsic, surface-level behavior focused on being pleasant, polite, and agreeable to avoid conflict or gain social approval.

Tim and Amy apply this to the phrase "Minnesota Nice" — are we fooling a lot of people by not being as kind as the phrase might suggest.

And has another T-shirt idea been found?

In a return engagement, D2 joins Tim in discussing Year 4 at the Minnesota State Fair. Between interruptions from her S1, Lindsey and Tim discuss the importance of getting to know those around you, and the benefits positive relations bring.

Tim shares what he has learned in four years to help maintain his sanity while working 12 long days at the fair - at the end of the day, it's only root beer and soda - it's not life and death. (Like being a respiratory therapist!)

As well the discussion delves into the collapse of the classics at the fair and the rise of new popular foods.

GD1 takes the place of D3 in the latest episode of "That's Not What Mom Said! In a brief sit down, Gracie and Tim (Bompa) talk about her interests, what makes a good mom and why her dad is a good dad (hint - it has something to do with going to the skate park!)

She rails on her annoying little brother and we discuss a little about bullying and what she would do if she sees someone getting bullied.
