This isn't actually a career fair, just a little peak into how Kyle and Kaydee chose their career paths and what they are doing now. Kyle is into something science-y and Kaydee gets to play with cameras. They also take a small quiz to see if they have chosen wisely. 

Kaydee and Kyle talk about what it was like to grow up in an area where the neighborhood kids would all get together and play games outside. In their hood, they would do things like street hockey, Sardines (yes, this is actually a game) and Flashlight Tag to name a few. 

Kaydee and Kyle reminisce about popular toys that they had growing up. From Pokémon and Giga Pets to slinky phones and Bionicles, we actually did some research for this one! 

Kaydee is what you can classify as a band nerd while Kyle is more of a music lover. In this episode we get to hear about both of their experiences learning instruments in elementary school and how it impacted their lives. 

Grab a cup of coffee and listen in! We are addicted to coffee. Kyle may actually be a bit obsessed. He talks about dark roast, light roast, brewing techniques, different types, etc! Kaydee lies a few times about her coffee habits and then settles on that she is a lazy coffee maker.

Good news! Imaginary friends are a completely normal part of childhood. Siblings Kaydee and Kyle discuss their "imaginary friends," who they were and what happened to them (that they know of). We also learn that not all imaginary friends are the same.
