Chalee and Chelsea start off today's discussion with a really good discussion of Chapter 7 The Essential Church by Steve Swartz.  And after a completely adult conversation about our duty to worship God when we are afraid. Then, we like our cizilation descend into a vapid discussion about Time's Person of the Year and DINKs.  Join us for the hilarity.

On today's show, Mike Slater monologues on the rise of couples who classify themselves as DINKs (Dual-Income, No Kids) and why they'll never be as happy as people who have children. Is that a hot take in 2023? Is parenthood THAT important in today's world?

Following that, Texas State Rep. David Spiller (R-68) stops by to talk to Slater about the Texas Senate Bill 4 that effectively bans sanctuary cities in the Lone Star State. What can the rest of our country learn from this powerful bill and are actions like this the proper way to handle illegal immigration in America? Find out with this powerful interview!

Ever wondered how two childhood friends could turn their love for tennis into building the world's largest pickleball community? Meet Aaron Reznick and Matt Slowinsky, the force behind the "Pickleball Clinic," a thriving online community and academy that's playing a significant role in the rise of pickleball in New Jersey and beyond. Their dedication to the sport is cemented not only in their successful tennis and pickleball academies but also in their mission to serve players of all levels and foster future pickleball stars.

Get ready to grasp the nitty-gritty of pickleball as we dive into the fundamentals of this addictive sport. The difference between tennis and pickleball, the art of getting to the kitchen line, limiting the backswing, and using your body effectively are some of the crucial aspects we'll dissect. Moreover, we discuss key pickleball shots and why regular drills can be a game-changer for your performance. So whether you're an aspiring pickleball pro or a fan of the sport, this episode offers a wealth of practical insights and tips to refine your game. Remember, the ability to consistently drop the ball in the kitchen can make all the difference!

This week our guest Blair of thedinkdogmom.com  and myself are encouraging everyone to have a DINK Dog Mom state of mind. We talk about being child free and bucking social norms and Blair gives great advice about not having to justify yourself and your lifestyle decisions to anyone. We talk about how we chose to be dog moms not as replacements to having kids but because we actually want to have dogs and be dog moms. And we discuss about not conforming to what you should look like or do with your life just because you’re a dog mom.  

More about our guest:
The DINK Dog Mom is a Dual Income No Kids (DINK) lifestyle blog for badass women who live adventurously and love their dogs like family.  Started and run by Blair—dog mom, millennial, wine lover—she shares everything about living a full and fabulous life with her dogs. Some things she likes to chat about include how to raise a happy dog, fun dog treat recipes, dog friendly adventures, and more!

The Snot Boyz are back (alright!), and also want you back, as long as you don't go breaking our snotty little hearts by saying bye bye bye. This week we look into what a boy band marketed to 30-somethings would be like. Spoiler: amazing.

If you have any suggestions for future episodes, go ahead and tweet to us at @thatsnotpod. You can also drop us a line at thatsnotpod@gmail.com. Podcast the change you want to see in the world.

A special thanks this week to original boy band, those boys with the lovable mop-tops: The Beatles.
