The May December Podcast

Erika and I both left the West Coast for Texas. Erika made the trek about twenty years ago and I've lived here for about thirteen. We both noticed lots of differences between Texas and our home states, and this is what our first episode of the year is all about!

Lots has changed since season 1 of the May December Podcast. I call it season one, but in reality one thing lead to another and we haven't had the motivation, discipline...whatever excuse you want to insert to record and post a podcast. Recording these podcasts is something Erika and I talk about all the time. We'll be having a funny conversation or catch ourselves reminiscing and think, "we gotta do another podcast episode!" Once we decided to move into an RV full time we really wanted to commit to putting out more consistent episodes. It'll be a hoot to listen to these recordings again some day, if not for us, for our kids and grandkids. I'm pretty sure we'll be known as the "crazy grandparents," at some point in our lives. The audio is pretty rough in this episode. Initially we tried the microphone we used in season one, a Blue Yeti that I actually like just fine, however there's not a lot of space to record in an RV, so we reserved the office space at the resort we now live at. Unfortunately, it's a very echo-y office space, and the Yeti was really rough. I have two lapel microphones that I use for social media videos, so in this episode that's what you're hearing. I tried everything I could think of to get it to even out, even AI, but this is as good as it got. We'll work on that!

We went to a concert looking for a good time, what we got was…less than that.

In this episode we drop off Maya at Texas State for her first college experience. It went better than the first college drop off, that’s for sure!

Maya, our 18 year old soon-to-be college freshmen joins us on this special episode. We sure are gonna miss this girl, but are excited to see her life unfold.

Noah, our oldest, joins us as a special guest.

We’re hot off a family vacation to Miami. We had a wonderful time, including watching our new favorite movie TWICE with all the kids. Don’t sleep on the relationship advice in the second half

In this episode Erika tells us about how her mom (a recent immigrant from Guatemala) met her dad (American) in her home city- San Francisco. This is part one of our “growing up in San Francisco” audio.

Owning a retail store gives us endlessly hilarious interactions every day! We are blessed, for many reasons, but this is high on that list.

Erika and I went to Memphis and did as much as we could! Sun Records, Civil Rights Museum, and Graceland. Everything was incredible.

Tanner always tries to get help from the family in cleaning the garage…and it’s hilarious! Also, with gas prices on the rise- a local fuel stealing ring has popped up, and they’re REALLY clever!
