You Need to Calm Down, You're Being Too Loud
Anthony and Shannon have just completed their book, which comes out on Valentine's Day. The process was a lot to handle, and Anthony may have gotten a chance to see what it's like to be Shannon by overseeing everything. One thing is for sure - Shannon needs to calm down, she's being too loud.…

"Please Don't Follow Us on Facebook"
Shannon and Anthony discuss their turtle hatches this season and Shannon challenges Anthony on whether what he does is actually conservation. Anthony gets a bit frustrated in this one - yes it is tough feeling like the black sheep in the family, but nothing is as frustrating as the Kelce…

Back Again... For the Very Fourth Time
Don't worry if we write checks. We write rhymes. Seriously though. How long has it been? Too long. Shannon and Anthony return to talk about their book, Anthony's turtle greenhouse, and Shannon's concussion. Something for everyone.
-
Appreciate Traditional Medicine
In this episode, Anthony and Shannon discuss the pressure to network and connect with like-minded people. Are Anthony's autobiographical efforts a waste of time?

pinkpearlsnpreppyco
Shannon and Anthony are back and just when you thought it couldn't get any more interesting, they hit you with the pinkpearlsnpreppyco. Time to put your big boy pants on and join us as we discuss Shannon's new business venture... ...Well, it's not much of a business as it were, but it IS a…

This isn't a Debate
Shannon and Anthony sit down to discuss some pretty important topics of contention between them, including revisiting the pivotal, turn-of-the-century ratings duel between Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin. They also discuss the importance, or lack thereof, of the Jurassic Park film franchise. These...

Still Crazy, After All These Years
Shannon and Anthony are back on the day of their tenth wedding anniversary, of all days.

For anyone wondering, living with someone with a unique obsession and...
-
Switching Roles
What could be more fun than listening to Shannon complain about her medical woes? Anthony complaining about having to hold the household together during that time, that's what. As if he wasn't busy enough already with work, travel, presentations, and with the warm days of spring approaching fast...
-
Love Languages
Shannon and Anthony talk about language. Luckily they only briefly talk about Italian and Spanish, something they are not well versed in. Instead they tackle their love languages, which are very different and play into how they navigate the hurdles in their life together. Tune in to hear how...
-
The Christmas Episode
Oh boy. They didn't even call it a holiday episode. Not cool. Either way, you should check it out, because they talk about Shannon's best Christmas gift she's ever received, which was given to her by one of Anthony's turtle friends. Is that even possible? Man, they've come a long way. This is…
more -
Like, We're Not Vibing and Jiving
Big surprise, Shannon has been feeling distant from Anthony lately. Perhaps even less surprising is the fact that Anthony hasn't noticed. Perhaps the fact that Anthony will travel for work soon is the reason for the disconnect. Or maybe it has to do with Anthony going rogue and recording a...
-
No, You Take It
It's a tale as old as time. He makes her a custom laundry and gift wrapping room, and she says, "no, use it for your nerdy turtle ventures." Both feel a certain way as they battle it out to decide who is actually being nice and who is or isn't willing to accept what is most likely a nice gesture....
-
First Lady of theTurtleRoom
Behind every great man is a great woman. That's certainly true with our guest today, Lisa Enders.

In the episode, Anthony is on his own as he tries to live up to the standard Shannon has set for...
-
Eggcellent Struggles
Imagine working for years to start making progress in an area of importance for you - or at least something you think you want - only to realize the activity really stresses you out.

-
A Particular Set of 'Glamping' Skills

-
Storytelling
We've been doing this for a full year already! In this episode, we ask the question, "Is Anthony a horrible father and husband because he made is toddler and pregnant wife brave the elements so he could win a turtle trophy?" You don't have to listen to know that the answer is "yes." But you…

Got a Little Heated There for a Minute
Listener Appreciation - Part Two. Shannon is coming in hot in this one. She's done her homework this time and has questions of her own, keeping the theme of listener appreciation going. Will this be the episode to end their podcast, before they've even reached a year of doing so? Let's hope not.
-
A 'Special' Show
Listener Appreciation - Part One. Shannon and Anthony agree, perhaps the best outcome from starting this podcast has been the outpouring of feedback from the listeners. In this episode they answer questions from listeners and have a great time doing it... For the most part.
-
"I Love Your Tertle's"
This conversation stemmed from a development briefly mentioned on our last show - our six year old daughter brought Anthony a note written on the back of a receipt, which reads "I love your tertle's." While on the surface this might seem like a joyous thing, Anthony couldn't help but think that…
more -
Let That Catch 22 Sink In, In Life
Lots going on in this episode. Anthony and Shannon strongly disagree on important relationship stressors that every couple grapples with - terrestrial snails in the house and turtle mating on social media. They're up to their butts in alligators... Not really. I guess you'll have to listen to…

Did We Just Become Best Friends?
Shannon is flying solo in this episode with her new friend Dominique DiFalco of the Modern Medusa Podcast. Her show highlights females in herpetoculture and herpetology, a desperately needed viewpoint that we are thrilled to see represented more through her work. Dominique is just cool, and that...
-
What Does He Keep Talking About?
If you've listened to the show before, you've likely heard Anthony rambling on about this thing called the Enneagram. Apparently we all have personality types that determine not just how, but why we approach conflicts and decisions in our lives the way we do. They say opposites attract, and…
more -
Compromise
Lots of updates since Shannon and Anthony last recorded - Shannon was a guest on a wonderful podcast, she has been running many educational talks, and her favorite tortoise passed away. Definitely good and bad things going on in their world, and Anthony hopes that the loss of their beloved Lenny...

Anyways...
At their house, every day is National Pet Day. Join Shannon and Anthony as they bicker even more than usual, particularly about how they choose to raise their kids - Shannon likes to instill healthy fear and dislike of certain "taxa," while Anthony uses any excuse he can to share "science…

Can't Trust Anyone with Three First Names

A "Light-Hearted" Episode

-
Was it the Jeans, or Who Was Wearing Them?

Real Housewives of theTurtleRoom
In the hit movie "Ghostbusters," when Bill Murray's character learns that Rick Moranis believes he is the "Key Master," and his 'would be' girlfriend is the "Gate Keeper," he jokes that they "have to get these two together." Harold Ramis replies "I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous....

Quarantine? More Like Bore-antine

-
Anthony's Tub Hub and Other Curiosities

Turtle Newlywed Game
Remember that show, the Newlywed Game? Judging by the demographics of our viewers, you probably do! Anyway, here is our take on the game if some of the questions pertained to turtles. That would make for a pretty strange episode of the Newlywed Game, but not Turtley Devoted. The conversation is…

Reptile Shows as a Relationship Test
Have you ever invited a new love interest to a reptile show to test their suitability as a serious candidate for relationship commitment? If you answered "no," here is your chance to see what it might be like to stoop to that level of nonsense. We talk about our favorite shows of those we have…
more -
"sulculti"
It was Anthony's turn to plan to content for this episode. Shannon would say that this would cause the show to lack direction and focus. Anthony would then argue that this organic approach would add something new to the dialog. Is it possible that both can be right? Listen to episode 4 and find...
