Ever wondered if your guardian angel is in the unemployment line? Moose and I kick off this episode by reflecting on some recent hardships and the absence of our producer Sara, which has made us ponder the state of our passion for podcasting.

We dive into transformative steps for personal growth, emphasizing the importance of acting on excitement without expectations and maintaining a positive state. Have you ever judged someone based on a single interaction? We explore how these snap judgments often reveal our own unexamined beliefs.

We chat about Daryl Anka, who channels Bashar, an extraterrestrial being from the future, offering profound wisdom and predictions about contact with extraterrestrials by 2026-2027. It’s a conversation that challenges you to rethink your preconceptions about the unknown. Learn more about Bashar here: https://www.bashar.org/

As fall approaches, the shift from Big Yang to Young Yin energy according to Taoist principles becomes a focal point for how we navigate seasonal changes. From the fall equinox to an impending lunar eclipse, we weave humor and cosmic insights into how these transitions impact us personally and societally. We wrap up with the therapeutic power of laughter, hands-on activities, and staying spiritually connected—humorously suggesting we put our 'angels' to work. Don't forget to catch this emotional and enlightening rollercoaster on YouTube and Apple Podcasts. Special shout-out to our producer, Sara!

Have you seen the viral videos where baristas hand a coffee to a customer and their finger is in the cup? Then the customer basically asks to link the finger of the barista? It's meant to be funny, but we dive into the question: Would you rather be the licker or the lickee? Join us as we react to the eyebrow-raising viral video from Spring Garden Bakery and debate its authenticity. We have differing takes. What’s yours?

Ever had a hilarious mix-up due to a language misunderstanding? We share our own experiences, including an awkward encounter with a flight attendant and a Taco Bell mishap that led to some loud and enunciated orders. Suspicious drive-thru exchanges highlight the comical and sometimes frustrating world of communication gone wrong.

Then, we tackle a more serious subject—the controversy surrounding Target’s "OCD: Obsessive Christmas Disorder" sweatshirt. Is it harmless fun or an insensitive trivialization of mental health? We discuss public reactions and corporate accountability, while reflecting on our career aspirations and personal growth.

Rounding out the episode, we share the joy of childhood movies and some humorous language quirks, all while expressing our gratitude to producer Sara Reid. Tune in for a rollercoaster of laughs, and meaningful reflections.
