    Send us a Text Message.

    Justin and Kandace come to the finale of their 'Freaks and Geeks' series where they use themes from the cult-classic tv comedy to compare their own high school experiences with each other. In part three of this multi-episode discussion, we talk about:

    • Paranoia and responsibilities while smoking and drinking
    • Peanut allergies and that time Justin almost killed Kandace
    • Dead pets
    • Writing cringy love songs
    • Re-inventing yourself
    • The innocence of spin-the-bottle
    • Struggling with self-worth and over-analyzing your instincts
    • Experimenting to find yourself
    • Getting closure on this cancelled show by guessing what became of the characters

    This is a time period in our lives we don't know a lot about and we use plot points in the show as a jumping off point to discuss high school. This episode focuses a lot on self-discovery and how high school begins to shape our future selves.

    Apparently the American dream is cramming two adults, three kids, and two dogs into a 300 square foot fart box. Cupful hosts, Justin and Kandace, take a pause this week from their planned episode to check in on each other and just talk about what has been going on in their thoughts recently. Kandace high-jacks the episode to talk about the idea of homeschooling the kids for a year in order to see our country from a camper. Why is this on her mind and what does Justin think about it? Come on this journey with us!

    We spent our entire winter watching popular television series 'The Walking Dead' with our kids. After 11 seasons and several spin-off shows, we are here to tell you our thoughts on the franchise and you will even hear some highlights directly from our kids. Who were our favorite characters? What would we do in a hypothetical apocalypse? Why is it that characters can get zombie splatter all over them and be fine, but if a zombie tooth entires their body, they're dead? Hear what we have to say about this and more in this longer than usual episode!
