Sometimes I Just Need a Sounding Board
In this episode, we'll indulge our taste buds with discussions of some of our favorite foods of the season. Then, we'll explore the curious tale of Ontie's brother, who actually thinks listening to our podcast is a form of two-way communication. We follow those topics with discussions of our past week’s doings. We'll dissect the complexities of "Civil War," a film that mirrors societal rifts and moral quandaries. Lastly, we'll bask in the magnetic allure of Jason Momoa's commercials, reflecting on their impact beyond mere advertising, stirring fascination and admiration alike.What we are watching:Civil WarCommercials we have to talk about:Jason Momoa Super Bowl Commercialshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8SOT9fCTfMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVeCwSWNLrM

The audio quality is good, but not up to our typical high standards. This should be the only episode impacted.***In this episode, Antie Joan joined the grand girls and grand pups at the LazyDog restaurant for Mother’s Day.

Nesting
The weather this past week was perfect for nesting. Ontie spent her weekend nestled on her couch, and Antie Joan watched a Robin remodel the nest on her front porch. Antie Joan is old school and proud of it, and Ontie reminds us that if you speak with authority, you are often believed—no questions asked. We finally earned our “Explicit” badge with this episode when we reviewed the movie, “Poor Things.” Ontie and Antie Joan wrap it up discussing causes, prevention, and dealing with the dreaded UTIs while reviewing the Uqora commercials.What we are watchingPoor Things (Hulu) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14230458/Commercials we have to talk aboutUqora for UTIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=901R1dGMdII
