We got you.Pardon our quality.  The dogs, and kids in the background, the lack of mics and makeup...we're doing the best we can, and we still manage to disappoint sometimes.  We talk in this episode about how we are just normal people and that it is a good reminder to be curious instead of jumping to conclusions and assuming things.  This podcast was hard to get done.  If you're listening, it can be obnoxious with the sound problems, and the pauses, and at times the squirreling.  But if you're watching, you'll see we are juggling kids coming in and out of our "studios," dogs that won't leave us alone, sore backs from improper chairs, lack of quality wifi, no microphones and dim lighting.  Don't judge a podcast by its cover or its sound!  We do the best we can!Support the show
