    Car Troubles and Costume Chuckles: A Journey through Halloween Nostalgia and Humorous Life Moments

    Car Troubles and Costume Chuckles: A Journey through Halloween Nostalgia and Humorous Life Moments

    Ever wondered what it's like to turn a car breakdown into a laugh fest? Or the uncanny allure of Halloween costumes from our childhood? This episode is an absolute riot as we reroute a car breakdown into a hilarious discussion about seizing opportunities and the ever-evolving language surrounding homelessness. We also have a lighthearted conversation about the audacious admirers who were undeterred by a car malfunction. 

    Now, let's turn down the lights and stroll through the graveyard of Halloween nostalgia. We talk about our favorite Halloween movies, the missing melody of Thanksgiving music, and our preference for cute over spooky when it comes to decorations. And, of course, no Halloween discussion is complete without dwelling on our past costumes, right from tutus to pumpkin suits. We also touch on the nerve-wracking complexity of apartment gate codes. 

    As we wrap up this laughter-infused journey, we examine some real-world issues such as managing egos in personal relationships, and the humorous yet thought-provoking concept of a 'dick dizzy bitch'. We also share the giggles that come with celebrating anniversaries with cheesy socks and DIY nail projects. And to add to the bewilderment, we ponder over the weird coincidence between Tony's flight and my father's birthday. So, buckle up for this roller coaster ride of laughter, nostalgia, and thoughtful discussions. And as always, thank you for joining us and being part of this hilarity-filled adventure.

    Mitchell Slater - Return on Relationships

    Mitchell Slater - Return on Relationships

    Hold on to your hiking boots as we take an exhilarating trek with Mitchell Slater, a trailblazing podcaster, captivating storyteller, and an accidental financial mentor. Mitch's profound love for acting, music, and his nostalgic tales from the '60s and '70s provide a delightful backdrop to his fascinating journey. From an actor with a flair for the dramatic to a respected financial advisor, his career transformation is as remarkable as his stories. Get ready for a healthy dose of early Howard Stern, Larry King's wisdom, and a dive into his family's tradition of camping in the Berkshires.

    Our journey with Mitch takes us through his childhood memories, obsessions, and personal reflections. He opens up about his passionate infatuation with Tatum O'Neal and his experiences from the Washington School show. His story takes a twist when he decides to run for the Board of Education, leading to collaborations with celebrities like John Fishman, Matt Felix, and Elizabeth Dulles. And who can forget his unforgettable stint on the popular game show, Love Connection?

    Mitch's journey is not just about personal growth, but it's also a testament to his dedication towards financial literacy, hard work, and the value of relationships. He shares his invaluable insights on how to 'get financially naked' with your partner and emphasizes the role of coaching in life. As we traverse the rugged terrain of Bruce Springsteen's legacy, Mitch's relationship with his 96-year-old mother, and his love for hiking, you'll realize why every step of this journey is worth taking.
