What if your most enduring love story began with a teacher asking a fourth-grader to be a friend? We share the arc from that first yes to a Valentine’s Day reunion in seventh grade and the 28-year bond that followed—one built on unspoken rituals, trust without scorekeeping, and a village-first approach to love and life. No clichés, no tidy labels—just the real mechanics of a relationship that defies assumptions and still feels simple.

We walk through how everyday gestures—one of us crafting the perfect margarita while the other dials in cameras and mics—become a part of our love language. That language powers everything: our personal lives, our parenting, and a business that runs on devotion expressed as structure. We unpack why we don’t ask one person to be every bucket and how a village model brings more stability, less jealousy, and a lot more joy. From navigating outside judgments to finding partners who honor our soulmate friendship, we show how consent, clarity, and care become our operating system.

You’ll hear why chosen family can be a strategy as much as a sentiment, how planned joy turns into a season of celebration, and why the most efficient business process might be a deep breath with someone who knows your whole archive. This conversation invites you to rethink monogamy myths, redefine commitment, and design a life where love is abundant, logistics are thoughtful, and kids grow up surrounded by steady hands. If you’ve ever felt seen beyond words—or wanted to—this one’s for you.

If the story resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who’s building their own village, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Davey Gets Rich: a Business Startup Tale Davey Mars Want to avoid a business startup disaster? Follow Davey as he does everything wrong and still builds a successful new company. I'll recap the day's wins and losses, while sharing the mindset, tools and ideas around how I keep myself on track in the midst of chaos and overcome procrastination, fear, impostor syndrome and good old laziness. Season 2 starts Jan 2nd, 2022. "I have to admit, it's getting better." Mars and Its Canals by Percival Lowell (1855 - 1916) LibriVox In the days before telescope photography, astronomers had to draw what they thought they saw through the eyepiece throughout the long dark nights. Sometimes they saw saw more than there really was to see, and a bit over 100 years ago Percival Lowell published books on what he was sure were canals on Mars, signs of intelligent civilization. (In case you too are skeptical, we also have at Librivox a criticism of Lowell's theories in a book published a year later (in 1907) by Alfred Russel Wallace.) - Summary by ToddHW Those Who Aunt The BabyMakers Auntie Mags (Dana Quercioli) and Aunt Pat (Colleen Doyle) see the world through aunt-colored glasses. And if you don’t know what that means, Mags and Pat will talk at you until you get it. From dismantling the “fun uncle” narrative, to current events and how they pertain to aunts, to debating whether Marshall’s or Kohl’s is the superior place to buy decent luggage, you’ll gain deeper insight and appreciation for the aunts in your life. Probably.
