    Sep 8 2025

    We're back after a short hiatus! Well, we're half back as Tim is joined with D2, Lindsey!

    Listen as Lindsey regales her adventures with chickens - not city chickens! And then she and Tim discuss the differences between boys and girls.

    The show goes down the "Rabbit Hole" as the discussion shifts to cell phones and social media. When is the time right for a child to have a phone?

    Do you remember your phone number from 2nd Grade?

    Aug 18 2025

    As well the episode takes a dark turn to what Tim found in an old loveseat that was being disposed of in only a way that Tim would do.

  • 145. That's Shocking!
    Aug 11 2025

    How do you think you would fair in an experiment that administered negative consequences for incorrect behavior or responses? Would you be able to follow your moral compass and avoid destructive obedience?

    Amy and Tim discuss the famous experiment conducted by Stanley Milgram in 1961 that sought to answer just these questions. Like Amy and Tim, you may be surprised (hopefully, I guess) by the results of the experiment - and if not, well let's never plan on meeting on a college campus!

    Aug 4 2025

    What are the odds of getting hit while riding a bicycle?

    How do those odds change for a second incident?

    Should Tim stop riding?

    Listen in as Amy and Tim discuss the latest "adventure" while getting some exercise. Perhaps a change in venue is warranted.

    Thank you for making "That's Not What Mom Said" a top father-daughter podcast (According to Feedspot who ranks the top 60 podcasts.)

    Jul 28 2025

    Amy and Tim discuss the importance of accomplishments in our lives to help motivate us. The old adage, "How do you eat an elephant?" really applies when it comes to tackling large projects or goals.

    What is your go to movie quote or line?

    When do you make your bed?

  • 142. Take Care of Your Things and They Will Take Care of You
    Jul 21 2025

    In another of our "Tim Talks - Dad Blabs, " Amy and Tim discuss a shared pet peeve - "where's my (insert item here)!?!?!?"

    It's never a great start to a project when you have to spend time tracking down the tools or materials you need that are not where you left them. You'd think there would be no problems living in a household of only two people - but you would be wrong!

    Also, it usually better to buy quality and have it last, then to save a few bucks and need to replace all too soon.

    How's your garage organized?

  • 141. 30 vs 60 - and What is Success?
    Jul 14 2025

    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!

  • 140. Is it ever OK to lie?
    Jul 7 2025

    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?
