Happy August Y'all!

Put Another Candle on the Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy, Happy birthday to you! Hooray for the baby of the fam! He is finally out of those awkward teen years and has entered the depressive life of an adult with responsibilities. He turned 20 on August 2 and celebrated by co-hosting his own party with Emily. The theme was “Grouchy Old Man” which was perfect for him. We are always teasing him that he acts more like a retired vet who's become disgruntled with everyone and everything in life. (Mo offense to our great veterans. Thank you for your invaluable service!) He chose crock pot roast with veggies for dinner and rice pudding for dessert. He referred to it as “old people food.” I'm sure he was just kidding because that's his dad's favorite meal!

One of the highlights of the night was seeing him hobble around with a cane and coke bottle bottom glasses. The sign hanging at the fireplace says “Please leave by nine.”

So join us in wishing Zach, Parod, Tiny and the grouchy old man a happy birthday!

Beauty Sleep

If you've listened to one of our recent episodes you will catch the guys giving me a hard time about our new bed. Ken and I have had the same bedroom set for 32 years! Of course we've changed the mattress several times but finally decided to treat ourselves to a king sized bed. I'm happy to report that we are loving our upgrade from a queen. Our “hospital bed” we now have is nicely adjustable and we have never slept better. And, no! IV drips were not included!

A Shameless Plug

I want to wrap up this edition to the newsletter by encouraging you to continue to support our podcast. We appreciate all the kind words and downloads of the show. Parod recently discovered he has a young fan boy who was captured on camera by his dad yelling “Behold, The Bessie!” while wielding a plastic toy he thought looked like a weapon. You can see this cutie by hopping over to our Facebook page.

If you are feeling especially generous, consider support us on our Patreon page. You get early access to new episodes and are treated to extra content. The extras are definitely not mom approved! But we know every enjoys being a little naughty once in a while. Even I have to admit that the guys can be VERY funny! These are the moments fans can get a glimpse of what REALLY goes into making a podcast with your family!!! Thanks again for being the best fans!

Speaking Of The Best Fans...

We wanted to give a HUGE thank you to friend of the show: Rob! He has been hard at work making some INCREDIBLE fan art of our characters. We wanted to give him a spotlight on this newsletter. In addition, you will be able to see the fan art when you listen to our next few episodes, as the pictures will replace the regular logo picture.
