🏌️ Scott’s Palm Desert “Retirement” Vacation

  • Scott spent his vacation with in-laws who planned everything around mealtimes. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were sacred scheduling events.
  • Golf? Not so much. Apparently, we’re at the stage where sitting is more appealing than doing things.

🎥 Gene Hackman: A Legend, A Mystery

  • Sadie went on a Hackman-a-thon and rediscovered his greatness. “The French Connection” without subtitles? A bold move.
  • Did you know about the bizarre, tragic details surrounding his wife and their pets? Neither did we—until now.

🐭 Scott’s Battle with Mice

  • Scott’s house = a real-life episode of Tom & Jerry, except with fewer laughs and more mousetraps.
  • Sadie, ever the animal lover, attempted the humane approach. Spoiler: It did not go well.

🧓 The Moment We Knew We Were Old

  • We actually got excited about a conversation on real estate investments. Who have we become?!
  • Early dinners, complaining about loud music, and an interest in weather patterns—just hand us our AARP cards now.

🎧 Why You Should Listen:

😂 Laugh Out Loud: Our signature mix of sarcasm, nostalgia, and absurdity will keep you entertained.
🤔 Relatable Rants: We tackle everything from travel quirks to pest control disasters with exasperated disbelief.
💡 Real Talk: Aging is weird, Gene Hackman is a legend, and mice are evil. Let’s discuss.

So grab a drink (early-bird special, anyone?) and tune in for another episode of unfiltered hilarity.

Scott and Sadie

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
