    146 Foolish Games
    2026/08/18

    This week on The Setlist of Life, hosts Aaron, Kirsten, and Leslie dive deep into psychological quizzes, nostalgia-driven recipes, and the unexpected power of small details. It starts innocent—planning a trip to the Iowa State Fair and daydreaming about meat sundaes—but quickly spirals into a celebration of midlife creativity, family dynamics, and identity play.

    The heart of the episode centers on homemade cooking as rebellion: Aaron shares his quest to recreate Chipotle bowls at home for less than restaurant prices (spoiler: it works), while Kirsten unpacks the archaeology of taco pizza—a Midwest regional treasure that disappears the moment you leave Iowa. These aren't just recipes; they're portals to childhood, proof that intentionality beats convenience, and a model for how partners can renegotiate kitchen labor and creative control.

    Then comes the test gauntlet. A banana-tree logic puzzle. A "90% of people pick carrot" priming effect. A punk-band personality quiz. A historic-prank selection tool. And finally, the vulnerable one: What kind of friend are you actually? The group discovers they're a perfect mix of Planners, Ghosts, and Hype People—each role essential, each with a blind spot worth naming.

    Woven throughout: why lipstick means you notice details, why sunglasses reveal your relationship with identity play, what a devil's advocate actually is (hint: it involves Saint relics), and why "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" beats your old walk-up song.

    Perfect for: Musicians balancing family life, Gen X parents rediscovering identity, podcast fans who love unscripted conversation, nostalgia explorers, and anyone who's ever wondered if their personality matches their choices.

    The Setlist of Life: Summer Adventures, Band Life & Raising Kids Without UrgencyIn this deeply conversational episode, the Dolly for Sue bandmates—Leslie (vocals), Aaron (guitar), Christine (drums), and Kirsten (keyboard)—reflect on summer adventures, parenting paradoxes, and the gap between Gen X intentionality and Gen Z digital passivity.The conversation weaves together personal travel stories: a panic-inducing hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, a beach week of unexpected solitude, Florida kayaking through mangroves, and a stay at the (non-haunted) Stanley Hotel. Threaded throughout are hilarious detours into lip-sync contest history, airplane movie ethics, algorithm-recommended art horror, and sea turtle conservation becoming a passionate obsession.At its core, the episode explores how parenting has shifted post-COVID—kids grew up in isolation and emerged without the deadline urgency previous generations developed. The band reflects on their own coming-of-age (crop tops at lip-sync contests, MTV music, mixtape culture) versus watching their children manage thousands of unread emails with zen indifference. There's genuine warmth here: not blame, but curiosity about how isolation rewires work ethic and attention.Music nostalgia anchors the conversation—from Amy Stewart's "Knock on Wood" (1979) to Z Top's "Legs" to Cruel Summer and Banana Rama. Pop culture meanders through The Princess Bride, Salt Burn, and Breaking Bad co-watching rituals. And a book recommendation emerges: Dungeon Crawler Carl, a genre-bending sci-fi series that hooks readers in ways Harry Potter fans understand.For parents navigating midlife creativity, Gen X identity, and the strange new world of raising resilient (if urgency-free) kids, this episode offers permission to laugh, worry a little less, and appreciate the adventures—and misadventures—that bind families together.THE SETLIST0:00 – Track [1]: The Disco Lightning Song That Started It All (Knock on Wood by Amy Stewart, 1979, and why storms make for great memories) 2:06 – Track [2]: How We Got Disqualified from the Lip Sync Contest (Conservative schools, crop tops, and the licking incident nobody saw coming) 4:17 – Track [3]: Why Methodist Youth Groups Were More Forgiving Than We Expected (Z Top's "Legs," double standards, and what the church actually cared about) 6:28 – Track [4]: What It's Like Watching Classic Movies for the First Time as an Adult (The Princess Bride revelation, airplane etiquette, and why new planes have privacy screens) 8:40 – Track [5]: The Movie Nobody Warns You About on Airplane Wifi (Salt Burn, deviant behavior, and why some films shouldn't be in rotation) 10:50 – Track [6]: When Your Algorithm Starts Suggesting Lamb Baby Art (Weird internet recommendations, curated trauma, and what it says about your taste) 13:17 – Track [7]: The Waterfall Panic: A Parent's Worst Nightmare (and Why Communication Matters) (Hiking at elevation, kids wandering off, the search for Joey, real-time parental anxiety) 15:40 – Track [8]: Elevation, Heart Health & Mountain Adventures After a Heart Attack (Recovery story, training at altitude, why family hikes get complicated) 17:48 – Track [9]: Natural Selection at Yellowstone: Why People Pet Bison & Fall Into Geysers (National park stupidity, Instagram selfies gone wrong, and Darwin's observations) 20:05 – Track [10]: The Stanley Hotel: Ghost Tours, The Shining, and Haunted Condo Mishaps (Colorado adventure, broken hot tubs, ceiling holes, and no paranormal activity—yet) 22:24 – Track [11]: The Beach Week You Actually Got to Yourself (Empty pool days, reading books, no entertaining required—the first solo vacation) 24:43 – Track [12]: Kayaking in Mangroves, Brackish Water & The Alligator You Never Thought About (Florida adventure, airboat tours, and why physical activity overrides predator anxiety) 26:40 – Track [13]: Catching Sharks While Fishing for Reds (And How to Get the Hook Out) (Beach fishing gone awry, bonnet sharks, pliers as essential fishing gear, and why Kirsten's staying poolside) 28:53 – Track [14]: The Toadfish Discovery: When Nature's Design Seems Like a Mistake (What's a toadfish?

    144 Thank You For Being A Friend
    2026/07/28
    The Setlist of Life returns after its longest hiatus to celebrate reconnection, resilience, and the messy reality of midlife summers.In this candid band reunion, Leslie, Aaron, and Kirsten catch up on everything summer threw at them: mysterious injuries that appear overnight, pets discovering their warrior instincts, close calls with tornadoes, and the quiet comedy of being invisible to airline staff. The session kicks off with an exploration of the high-low game—a deceptively simple family communication tool—before spiraling into stories of extreme weather, family weddings, barn power outages, and the peculiar humiliation of being physically outmatched at an escape room designed for teenagers.Beyond the laughs, this episode maps the invisible terrain of midlife: how bodies change without warning, how identity gets refreshed through small choices (vintage sunglasses, retro music), and how showing up for family priorities sometimes means missing your own commitments. There's grief for an absent bandmate, celebration of kids becoming adults who out-athlete their parents, and honest reckoning with aging memory, responsibility, and the pressure to consume holidays before we've finished the current season.For audiences seeking: authentic midlife conversations, family dynamics that actually reflect real life, Gen X nostalgia without saccharine framing, and permission to laugh at your own limitations.THE SETLIST| **0:00** | **Intro: Thank You for Being a Friend** — The Band Returns After Their Longest Break | Nostalgia anchor (Golden Girls theme); band identity; reconnection ritual || **1:37** | **Track 1: The High-Low Game — A Simple Tool for Family Conversations** | Parenting hack; family communication; dinner table ritual || **2:45** | **Track 2: Fashion Reboot at Midlife — Retro Sunglasses & Finding Your Icon** | Personal reinvention; aging identity; Gen X nostalgia (Tom Selleck) || **4:02** | **Track 3: Waking Up Injured — Why Bodies Betray Us in Our 50s** | Midlife health; mysterious joint pain; accepting physical changes || **6:15** | **Track 4: Cat as Warrior — When Your Pet Finds Their Second Act** | Pet behavior; instinct; personality transformation; pride & purpose || **8:45** | **Track 5: The Smell of Death in the Carpet — A Problem No Clorox Can Solve** | Dark humor; home maintenance nightmare; unresolvable messes (life metaphor) || **10:20** | **Track 6: Caught in a Tornado Without Knowing — Surviving Extreme Weather Obliviously** | Climate resilience; close calls; gratitude reframe; barn power outages (recurring theme) || **16:30** | **Track 7: Airboats, Gators & Raw Chicken — Adventure Tourism Gets Weird** | Travel stories; risk & thrill; humor under absurdity; Everglades tourism || **21:15** | **Track 8: The First-Class Luggage Incident — When You're Not Welcome in Someone Else's Space** | Class dynamics; travel etiquette; boundary crossing; airline gatekeeping || **25:10** | **Track 9: Level 99 — Why Ninja Warrior Humbles Midlife Moms** | Physical challenge; aging ego; laughing at limitations; mother-son dynamics || **32:10** | **Track 10: Iowa State Fair Planning — Nostalgia as Life Event** | Generational return; ritual; Americana; butter sculptures & fried food culture || **34:25** | **Track 11: The Wrong Jacket at a Wedding — A Comedy of Miscalculation** | Family shenanigans; tall-kid problems; reconciliation; grace from strangers || **41:00** | **Track 12: Holiday Scaling & Seasonal Anticipation — Can We Please Enjoy Summer First?** | Consumer culture criticism; seasonal marketing; mindfulness; pacing life || **50:15** | **Track 13: The Gas Tank You Already Filled — Senior Moments Get Real** | Aging memory; responsibility gone sideways; self-awareness & humor || **52:30** | **Track 14: A Scar Story (Not from a Knife Fight)** — Vanity & Recovery After a Fall | Midlife injury; healing; reframing scars; window-shopping while walking || **59:20** | **Outro: As Long as There Are Highs, We'll Be Back** | Resilience framing; podcast commitment; Gen X authenticity |🎸 BACKSTAGE WISDOM"Your band won't die from summer breaks—it dies from pretending the breaks don't hurt.
