  • A Hilarious Train-wreck of Frenchiness, Nostalgia, Nose Hairs, and Church Singing
    2024/12/17

    The "Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy" Podcast: A Hilarious Trainwreck of French, Nostalgia, Nose Hairs, and Church Singing

    Welcome to the comedy rollercoaster where chaos reigns and sense goes on holiday. In this episode, Kiki and Cowboy embark on a journey through their muddled thoughts, terrible French accents, and completely unnecessary deep dives into ski movies from the '80s.

    Act 1: Francophiles in Shambles
    Cowboy attempts French with a nasal flair, Kiki dismantles his efforts with wit, and both butcher the language worse than a baguette in a blender. Miscommunication reigns supreme, with Cowboy declaring “Arrêt” (stop) and Kiki interpreting it as “a red.” Throw in a few snooty waiter jokes and voilà—a French vocabulary lesson no one asked for.

    Act 2: The Nose Hair Saga
    Cowboy recounts the epic tale of plucking a nose hair so long he swears it touched his brain. This prompts Kiki to question his grooming habits, leading to a debate over trimmers and the pain threshold of men of “a certain age.” Cue uncontrollable laughter and Cowboy’s declaration that the hair was a “brain antenna,” possibly explaining his questionable life choices.

    Act 3: Ski School or Snooze School?
    Cowboy dives into an IMDb black hole, passionately defending the legacy of Better Off Dead while simultaneously researching obscure '80s ski movies (Ski School, Ski Patrol—who knew there were so many?). Kiki tolerates this rabbit hole with sass, questioning why they’re even talking about it while Cowboy insists this knowledge is vital for Christmas trivia.

    Act 4: Drinks and Disasters
    In a clumsy pre-show setup, Cowboy drops a cable clip into Kiki’s drink, sparking a Steve Martin The Jerk reference. Kiki sarcastically recounts the “grubby finger retrieval attempt,” ensuring Cowboy’s dignity is reduced to ashes.

    Conclusion: Two Dollars and Chaos
    The duo wraps up by reminiscing about Better Off Dead, quoting “I want my two dollars!” and applauding the paperboy-turned-producer. By this point, the audience is either in stitches or wondering how they stumbled into this fever dream of a podcast.

    Moral of the story: Always trim your nose hairs, never let Cowboy handle your drink, and watch out for rogue cable clips. Bon voyage!

  • Planes, Motorcycles, and Turkey Day Car Chaos: Cowboy & Kiki’s Misadventures in Holiday Logistics
    2024/12/09

    In this uproarious podcast episode, Cowboy and Kiki dive headfirst into the chaos of planning a blended family Thanksgiving holiday. They riff on the logistics disaster that feels straight out of an '80s comedy like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, except their version involves planes, motorcycles, cars (lots of cars), and an occasional black hole of miscommunication. Kiki, the pragmatic planner, keeps hitting "cancel" on their annual motorcycle trip reservations, while Cowboy is convinced she’s operating on a different time dimension. Between a surprise work schedule from her son, a daughter flying in from Colorado, and a revolving door of hotel reservations, this holiday has seen more rewrites than a Hollywood blockbuster.

    As they recount their "misadventures," Cowboy and Kiki spiral into hilarious tangents. From debating physics (is Kiki the black hole?) to bickering over who’s to blame for last-minute cancellations, their banter is both absurd and relatable. The couple gamely tackles the tangle of kids, transportation, and schedules, with Kiki keeping Cowboy on track while he frets about unplanned expenses. Then, Kiki and Cowboy take us on a wild ride—literally and figuratively—as they navigate a three-car inspection saga that’s straight out of a sitcom. It starts with Kiki's moment of panic over a missed inspection, prompting an impromptu auto shop detour. After roping in her mom for moral support and navigating county inspection myths, Kiki realizes she’s been fretting over the wrong car. Cue a frantic text to her son, who dutifully gets his car inspected, only to uncover a comical cascade of mix-ups involving whose car actually needs attention. Spoiler alert: it’s car #3, but not before the son’s car gets a clean bill of health… with a side of mechanic upselling.

    By the time they hit the inspection trifecta, Kiki and Cowboy are philosophical, leaning into the absurdity of closing-time antics at repair shops. Cowboy’s observation about the inspector's evasive “we close in 10 minutes but the wait is 30” math earns a well-deserved eye roll, while Kiki's youngest attempts the nerve-wracking “don’t-drive-into-the-pit” maneuver with a nail-biting audience. With every misstep narrated in sharp, self-deprecating humor, this duo proves that the real adventure is surviving the DMV-inspired madness of holiday logistics. Whether it's misplaced registration fears, overly helpful family, or the unyielding comedy of error-prone planning, this podcast reminds us to laugh—because crying over car inspections is so last season.

    2024/11/26

    In the riotously chaotic episode of "Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy," a seemingly simple question—"What do you do that annoys your partner?"—escalates into a hilariously revealing game of emotional dodgeball. Flynn, our self-proclaimed easygoing guy, confesses his popcorn faux pas: drowning his side of the tub in butter and promptly forgetting which side is which. Nicole, clearly butter-intolerant, recounts her messy popcorn woes but magnanimously awards no points, much to Flynn’s butter-soaked dismay. Meanwhile, Kiki and Cowboy instigate gleefully from the sidelines, reveling in the relational shenanigans like chaos-loving cupids.

    The absurdity crescendos when Flynn sheepishly admits to a peculiar bathroom habit: leaving wet wipes on the floor for "convenient access." Nicole's visible mortification and Kiki's gasping for clarity—“Wait, are they used?!”—send the studio into uproarious laughter. Cowboy cheekily adds fuel to the fire, transforming Flynn’s practicality into a faux scandal worthy of its own segment. Amid the giggles, Nicole accepts Flynn’s quirk with a stoic grace that earns her an unofficial MVP title for patience.

    Ultimately, the game isn’t about points—it’s about the shared hilarity of enduring quirks and unearthing the ridiculous yet lovable moments that define relationships. Whether it’s Kiki’s impromptu rule-making or Cowboy’s devilish commentary, this episode leaves listeners in stitches, proving that love is a battlefield... of butter, wet wipes, and unflappable humor.

  • Before I Shower: A Cautionary Tale of Milk, Spiders, and Questionable Decisions
    2024/11/19

    Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy is a delightful romp into the chaos of everyday life where every episode answers the eternal question: Are we doing this thing, or should I take a shower? The show kicks off with Kiki casually dropping this gem of a phrase, and Cowboy immediately declares it the perfect metaphor for their lives—messy, spontaneous, and slightly questionable. This time, the duo unravels the mysteries of pre-shower decision-making, from gardening to garage adventures, while hilariously navigating topics like roommate drama and the fine art of respecting (or ignoring) expiration dates.

    Their banter is a comedic whirlwind, touching on Cowboy’s paranoia about spoiled milk and Kiki’s "steel stomach" that views expiration dates as optimistic suggestions. Sprinkled with tales of defensive linemen shower rituals and ancient canned goods that belong in a museum, they bring a down-to-earth, absurd humor that turns mundane moments into laugh-out-loud anecdotes. Whether it’s Cowboy sneaking in spider-infested hoodies or Kiki teasing his aversion to expired yogurt, the show is a quirky celebration of life’s little misadventures, served with a hearty side of sarcasm and mutual exasperation.

  • Low Ceiling Fans, a Late-night Guest & Campus Tours: A 'Simple' Trip Goes South!
    2024/11/05

    In this lively episode of Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy, our fearless duo embarks on a "simple" college campus tour that quickly veers off course. Armed with a car bursting at the seams with snacks, toiletries, and Cowboy’s trusty hat, they set out under the naive notion that this would be a straightforward family trip. Yet, as Waze decides to route them through every Texas backroad imaginable, Kiki and Cowboy find themselves dodging cows, potholes, and a debate over tuna banishment in the car. The journey isn’t complete without Cowboy secretly catching Pokémon along the way, much to Kiki's exasperation, while Kiki herself fine-tunes her microphone skills—between snack breaks, of course.

    Upon reaching their Airbnb, they encounter a charmingly haunted dollhouse with ceilings so low, Cowboy has close calls with ceiling fans, and every step unleashes a new chorus of creaks. Just as they’re settling in, the air freshener—a tiny ninja in aerosol form—ambushes Cowboy with face-fulls of fragrance, leaving him as "fresh" as the house’s mystery smell. Despite the slightly spooky setting and the nighttime cockroach encounters, they soldier on to the campus tour, where Cowboy gleefully embarrasses their daughter with photos at every turn. From Pokémon-bonding with other parents to predicting future nursing-home friend setups, Kiki and Cowboy realize the real misadventure wasn’t the campus or the cockroach, but the delightfully chaotic company they keep, and with playful reminders to... bring the toothpaste!

  • Car Troubles and Golf Cart Fumbles: Parenting the Chaos Behind the Wheel
    2024/10/29

    In this hilariously relatable episode of Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy, our duo kicks things off by sharing their gym exhaustion, which, let’s be honest, we all feel deep in our bones. But soon enough, the conversation shifts to more perilous territory—parenting young adults who are menaces behind the wheel. The couple takes turns recounting their kids’ automotive mishaps, from driving over truck tires to golf cart police encounters, all with a side of “well, they’re still learning” humor. Spoiler alert: adulting is hard, but parenting adults? A whole new level of chaos.

    Take their son, for instance, who managed to get a branch stuck under his car and totally shrugged it off. Naturally, Cowboy had to step in and handle the situation, which involved fixing a broken stabilizer—because apparently driving over large objects doesn’t end well for your vehicle (who knew?). Between that and his other son ignoring a car estimate for over a month, Cowboy can only shake his head and wonder if car maintenance is somehow a foreign concept to young adults. But hey, at least it makes for great podcast content!

    And if that wasn't enough, there’s their daughter, who took a trip to a small-town mechanic for an AC fix and left with a $3,200 headache instead. After trusting the wrong mechanic and getting hit with an escalating repair bill, Kiki and Cowboy had to play detective, step in, and save the day. Lesson learned? Always have a backup adult to rescue you from sneaky mechanics and, apparently, golf cart-related incidents. With all these car woes, it's no wonder the episode ends with a plea for coffee—Kiki and Cowboy deserve it!
