Amy and Tim discuss what being successful means.

As Amy is now 30 has she missed the window of opportunity for success? Is there any opportunity for Tim, now 60, to salvage success from what time he has left?

Remember, "Comparison is the Thief of Joy."

This is a re-edit, rehash, rerun of episode 30 from February 2023 as part of our "Summer Re-Run" series.

(I'd like to say we've been too busy to record every week, but that might not be exactly true as we enjoy the summer weather!)

As always, thank you for listening!

Amy and Tim delve into the first "Dad Blab" and discuss lying.

The question is if it is ever alright to lie?

A person can always justify lying, but what each person needs to ask themself, is "why am I lying?"

Am I making things easier for "them" or myself?

It is said that the truth will set you free - and when you tell the truth you do not have to remember all the lies told.

Mom "photo bombs" the episode and who doesn't like fresh hot popcorn?

Are we wasting too much time staring at screen while the world moves on around us? With so much of our consumption coming from screens of different sizes, are we allowing our brains to atrophy? Amy and Tim reflect on how things have changed in their lifetimes (with one of us having a lot more history!)

As usual, Tim and Amy's conversation wanders from the initial topic, and as usual, eventually makes it way back just in time to wrap things up!

What has been the biggest change seen over the years?

From how we communicate to how we get our information, the one constant is rapid change.

It is that time of year once again when you get hear about Tim's upcoming ride to Castle Danger Brewing (as if he hasn't talked enough about this already!)

Then Amy and Time discuss the concept of "Work Dads."

Who wouldn't benefit from having someone at the workplace to give you a good swift kick in the rear end to motivate you?

There's work wives and husbands, it only make sense—probably even more sense. Afterall who hasn't got into a tiff with their spouse? That might not be very good for the workplace.

In another attempt at a remote recording (St. Paul Brewing we will be back!!!) Amy and Tim discuss their current vacation - is Tim really allowed to call it a vacation?

13 people, three dogs and of course Roger the Cat under one roof - what could possible go wrong. And find out how "Fire Stick" doesn't mean what one might think it means.

This certainly is not "roughing it" like when we went camping (E3 The Trials and Tribulations of Camping).

Amy poses thought producing questions she received from her good friend Kath who is a loyal listener. Some are very light-hearted and fun, while a couple really may one think. You might agree that for a question or two the answer is obvious and there is only one correct response. Of course Amy and Tim did not always agree.

What is the best sauce? And is mayonnaise a sauce?

Finally! Amy found her way back to the studio and we were able to record a new episode! She weighs in on some of D2's comments and rebuffs her sister's "revised history."

Who is to say what the truth is these days, of course Tim has repressed much this timeframe in his life as he believes everything was "Unicorns and Rainbows!"

As we travel down a rabbit hole... the conversation switches to the question of leaving voice messages in today's world where no one knows anyone's phone number. Since your phone notifies you of all missed calls, you see when and who called.

Of course Amy plays back some of here saved voice messages going back over a decade!

How many people "save" their voice VM's? (And by "save" we mean - "Do not delete.")

Tim is joined with D2 to discuss some of the battles that took place while growing up. Of course, Lindsey's view of the "Sock with a Rock" incident is slightly different from Amy's!

Learn why I had to put locks on the bedroom doors.

It's unanimous as to who is the most thoughtful gift giver of the family.

And who's being overly dramatic now?
