Josh and Jo Podcast

Self proclaimed patriots we are. Therefore, recorded on Election Day, we shall NOT talk about politics. You've had enough, we know. Instead, we tackle three topics at 15 minutes each. It was fun. It was enlightening and assuring that we see eye-to-eye on most, not all, of the things juicy in life. So, take a break. Turn off the news and take a listen!

Connection. Our guest, "Peacock," shares the highs of experiencing intense connection during what was her healing, solo trip to New Mexico. Instead, a cowboy appeared on horse back and BAM! A full body experience of heaven on earth happened. This is a true story of what a true connection felt like, how it was lived, and why it had to end. Thank you, "Peacock," for sharing your story, the lessons learned, and how you are moving forward. To our listeners, have you experienced one recently? Did they stay or did you go? After the shockwave of emotions, how do we retain it or is it something we should just be grateful for experiencing, find strength to move on, and hope that it happens again. It's real. It's exciting. It's life.

It's time to answers YOUR questions! We hope we can open paths to answers... Keep sending them in!

Which are you? There are so many labels for persons in the relationship world and we picked these to pick on. The jury's out on the who, the what, and the why relationships work or fall apart. Josh has a take, of course. And Jo's brain, as per usual, works in circles - well more like a flat people mover that travels in all directions depending on where her life is. There's no right or wrong. It just is. Spread being a kind human and love. That's our take.

What's the only thing Josh and Fox News have in common? They're abject support for Team Sydney and her Novig ad. I mean, c'mon, man! You'd have to be dead inside not to have something stir when you watch that ad. And, no, we don't just mean that rockin' body. It was 100% bona fide American capitalism at its finest, mega branding and awareness, reach your target audience genius strategy, shrewd negotiation skills... and by all accounts, SHE was in the driver's seat from start to finish. We thinks that if you're pro-female everything, you need to be on Team Sydney. Otherwise, well, come at us with your best shot and we'll discuss it like adults through clear colored lenses and not the green kind. P.S. Jo, in her limited lingerie knowledge, instinctively knew SYRN was going to enjoy a short life. So, she's not full on Sydney all the time and she was correct. But, this Novig move, well, Jo's impressed! Looking forward to the next round of high stakes reputation marketing! Bring on the ads!

Josh is a self-proclaimed rooter and supporter of women in all ways. Recent behavior observations has gotten them him a wee bit down. This is exacerbated by his recent experience at Saratoga Springs' world-famous horse sale where the ultra wealthy bid for horses upwards of $4 million mingle with the rest of, well, not in the same tax bracket. The primal mating calls of days gone by are still executed: the visual seduction women play and the peacocking of the other gender. It's all enough to drive him up the wall! I suppose Josh was hoping that the women are the ones who pulled up and out of this hamster wheel, but, to no avail. And then there's Sophie! Enjoy the weekend!

Why is there fever pitch interest in Caitlin Clark (see what I did there?)? We explore why this baller fascinates to turn out record number fans, collective bargaining leverage arguably multiplying all WNBA player salary by a factor of 5, the production of insta clips of her allegedly getting poked, nearly choked, and prodded by opponents... even targeted by a creepy USA Today columnist who, in Jo's opinion, is misguided and a clickbaiter. So, why all the attention? Clearly, set records in college. But, she's low in a few stat categories. And then there was Sophie... Whatever it is, inquiring minds want to know....

Every parent's nemesis: the smartphone. Is it making our kids smarter? Come to think of it, what a genius marketing idea labeling it a "smart" phone. We think it's making our kids dumber indeed. Well, at least dumber in the human sense. Scary stats: 4 hours a day of scrolling equals to 60 days of your per year. What can, should we do about this as parents? ALL answers welcome! Just don't swipe upwards when it comes to our pod, though, okay?

A bit of a Ceko golf update and Josh admitting that he's a card carrying member of the Impulsive Dads Who Care Too Much Anonymous group. Jo says he's simply a good dad. Then we move on to giving our take on the economy. Why? Because we talk about what affects us on the daily. It's important because it shapes who we are and how we are to others around us. BONUS: Tips from Josh on financial responsible practices. Listen and follow and become a millionaire!

First things first --- Josh is asking if 1 pint of ice cream equals one serving (because he just ate half of a pint and wondered about keeping his girly figure (haha)! Let us know what you think! In this episode: a bit of exciting update on Ceko's big championship win; and, the DEATH of the Third Plyace. 1st place is your home. 2nd is your workplace. 3rd are the cafes, bookstores, bars, and neighborhood hangouts. Why are we letting ourselves live this way? Between streaming services, instas, snaps, reels and all the gross in betweens, is it time we move away from all these gadgets and party like its 1989 again? Among other humans, rub skin to skin, and smell each other's breath again? Should we force our kids and loved ones to live LIFE? We say, "Yes, please!"
