  • 2.39. The You're Welcome Episode
    Dec 18 2024
    Any good Nobody Asked Us episode will make you laugh AND cry, and this one is no different. For this latest installment, Des and Kara cover a hodgepodge of topics, mostly by catching up on their personal lives, and you will learn something new about each of them along the way. Or, maybe you knew about Bougie Des and Homebody Kara already?! Kara talks about her experiences having her knee drained (!) and watching Colt crush it at the National Junior Olympic XC Championships, while Des gives us the play-by-play on her adventures living the Kiwi-trail life in New Zealand. Kara shares an emotional moment buying Colt a souvenir for his race, and Des laments her inability to manage the technical downhills like her adventurous counter-parts. Come for the advice on parenting a young athlete and stay for the tips on maintaining your Delta status OR for the intel on Des's ultra-marathon aspirations OR the BIG announcement about Houston Marathon weekend at the end of the Olipop Top 5. I promise you will not regret listening to this episode... and you're welcome. There will be one final episode in 2024, coming on December 31st, as Des interviews Kara with her sisters!

    We have a very special guest for this episode, and you won't want to miss it! In fact, this might be the episode to watch on YouTube if that isn't your normal routine. [Don't forget to hit subscribe while you are there.]

    Introducing... Natalie Steele, Des's older and taller and wiser(?) sister!

    She joins the show to spill all of the dirt on Des while gushing on her a little bit too. You get an inside peak into their lives as sisters as Kara asks all of the questions you might want to know, including:

    • Who was the biggest troublemaker as a child?
    • Who had the most boys after her?
    • How much did they fight over the landline phone before caller ID?!?
    • How were they as teammates on the high school soccer team together?
    • What did she think of Des moving away to Arizona State and the Michigan?
    • What's it like as a spectator for Des at big races from the Olympics Trials to winning Boston?
    • What would surprise us to know about Des?
    • Where did they get the adventure travel genes?
    • What is she most proud of about Des's journey?

    This one is full of so many laughs and all of the feels. Get to know Des in a whole new way through Natalie's eyes!
