Season 9 Ep 32: Bad Pets, Kid Show Bangers, and Tamara Has WHAT Story?!

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 -0700

This week on Downhill Fast, Tamara and Rheannon are actually recording in person, which means the chaos has escaped the internet and entered the real world.

There’s even a surprise mini guest appearance for approximately five seconds before the adults get back to discussing the important things in life, like pets behaving badly, animals completely ignoring everything you say, and somehow getting emotionally invested in the theme song from a children’s television show.

Meanwhile, Tamara casually drops several completely unexpected stories from her life that Rheannon, and probably everyone listening, was absolutely not prepared for.

Rheannon continues her ongoing battle with motherhood and somehow remains standing. Is she thriving? Is she surviving? Has she simply become too powerful to defeat? Who the hell knows.

Bad pets. Tiny guests. Childhood theme songs. Questionable life stories. Motherhood chaos.

Just another completely normal week on Downhill Fast.

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 21:00:00 -0700

Tamara kicks off the episode talking about taking the pup swimming. Luckily it did not go downhill fast! Now Tamara helping her folks with yard work was less fun. Although when bragging to the book club text chat, my best friend asked if I would head over to help. She was half joking, but then we took her up on it to help! However, this delayed getting lunch to my Mom. Then when Tamara finally brings the sandwich it is the wrong sandwich. Tamara heads home to unpack some long lost movies only to have water leaking from the ceiling. Rheannon get's an unexpected visitor to her podcasting studio and just about jumps out of her skin.

Rheannon tried to change the rules of toys stay in the playroom or in their rooms. It is still a work in progress. Tamara might have been tricked into helping her Mom with yard work. It takes one compliment and Tamara suddenly finds herself helping her Mom with yard work for an hour and a half. Everyone is getting excited for the upcoming Fantasy Football League. We will see who makes the cut and is invited back for next year. The first pick of the NFL Fantasy Draft is a lot of pressure for Tamara, and it will likely go downhill fast.

Tue, 05 May 2026 21:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks off with Rheannon airing some frustration with Tamara's movie recommendation for Hamnet. Now, in Tamara's defense, she thought they already knew the ending from history. A show recommendation that Rheannon did still enjoy was Deadloch. Tamara dives into the story lines that she really enjoyed and some of the heavier takeaways. Now it is a foul mouth, queer, over the top, murder mystery, so if you haven't seen it check it out. Tamara cannot say enough things about the movie Project Hail Mary. The movie will leave out a chunk of the science and a couple plot points out from the book, but Tamara still really enjoyed it. It has great vibes and you leave the theater feeling happy. Rheannon has been doing work making a fort for her girls to play in. A core memory for sure! Tamara maybe rushes ahead to the kids as teenagers and how it could go downhill fast!

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0700

Tamara's puppy had a great day at doggy daycare. Although, the puppy is still in the I am happy to see you and I have to show it by peeing immediately. Rheannon has had her mind blown, by Tamara's idea on how to remodel part of the house. Will there be a fancy new door? Maybe. Will it cost $5,000, absolutely not! Hopefully the remodel does not go downhill fast, much like this episode.

Season 9 Ep 24: Car Woes, Golden Football, Sound Advice

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 19:00:00 -0800

On this week’s episode of Downhill Fast, Tamara and Rheannon unpack the absolute chaos that was Tamara’s recent car nightmare. What started as a routine dealership visit quickly turned into a “you need all of this immediately” situation… and Rheannon was not about to let that slide.

Enter: calculated wrecking ball energy.

Rheannon breaks down the numbers, questions the repairs, and serves up mechanical wisdom with a side of “don’t play us.” Because yes, you can pay your dealership, but no, you do not get to take advantage of people who you assume don’t know better.

Also in this episode: Tamara wins fantasy football and receives the most legendary prize imaginable a custom golden football trophy made by Rheannon herself. Home Depot run? Check. Getting carded for gold spray paint? Also check. Honestly, kind of iconic.

This week is less chaos and more straight-up life advice, financial common sense, and the reminder that when someone tells you that you “need all this stuff”… maybe Google it first.

You’re welcome.

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0800

This episode kicks off with Tamara being very proud for returning an amazon purchase for the first time ever. To be fair it was a purchase bought in desperation after cleaning up puppy poop on a white carpet. Tamara wrapped up her weekend by cleaning and officially moving out of her old apartment. Rheannon's excitement for the week was buying a new car! The big question has been to keep the fancy gold rims that the car came with or to switch to a more boring color. Tamara tends to air on the side of less fancy, but the gold rims are growing on Rheannon and most of her family. Rheannon shares about her anxiety of watching someone climb a building live on Netflix. Tamara hasn't watched it yet, but is interested in watching it. It launches into a discussion about sports and television and the role that the audience plays in what is expected from our sports heroes.

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 18:00:00 -0800

This year Rheannon is new to the candy cane game. Tamara is really leaning into the mini candy canes. There is a thing of too much sugar for the kids in her life, and what really is the appropriate amount of sugar before bed. After saying no one too many times, Tamara has bought a coin to flip instead. Now a coin will say no instead of Tamara having to say no. Rheannon thinks that she should invest in a weighted coin that always says no. Rheannon is sad that ski season is delayed, and the whole family is missing the sun at this point. Tamara has been enjoying good food living in Seattle. Rheannon ends the podcast with her concerns about facial hair that she os convinced smells like hot dogs. Let's just say that whether or not it is smoke and mirrors this episode goes downhill fast.

Rheannon took her oldest to help pick out a birthday present for the youngest and of course landed on a rainbow chicken. The episode wraps up with a review of recent shows and movies we have watched. The big question of how scary Frankenstein is, but since neither of us have seen it is only speculation.

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 22:00:00 -0700

Rheannon had her own cooking mishap this week. Tamara came to visit Rheannon and did her best to lend a helping hand. The kids in matching pj's were very impressive, but Rheannon was less impressed with Tamara's choice of clothes dressing the kids in. Rheannon's toddler got attached to a pumpkin while at the store, so pumpkins were bought to carve. However, when we went to carve them the toddler just wanted to color on them. How long will the pumpkin last? Will the coloring continue until the pumpkin rots? Who knows, but it will definitely go downhill fast.

Season 9 Ep 18: Board game nights and movie reviews

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 19:00:00 -0700

Episode kicks off with a movie review and spoilers for Honey Don't. Rheannon got fooled by some bad information off of TikTok that did not help for Fantasy Football. Tamara did her best to explain the rules to Bunko, but the biggest take away though is that Tamara won the most games when she played with her friends. Rheannon has been challenged to read a book since she picked a bad movie to watch. Tamara thinks they should watch a scary movie since it is October, but Rheannon thinks that will go down hill in not a fun way.

Let's just say the noises coming from the other room really emphasize that someone was going through it having to clean it up. Tamara was just getting back from spending the night and day at the Renaissance Faire. Throwing axes and having the best time! Rheannon this year did approve of her outfit and effort more this year than last year. Tamara did not complete her homework of starting a new show, but she did at least get started. Rheannon is on board being a wing woman as Tamara get's into golfing and wondering if that is a way to meet guys. Let's just say much like this episode it will probably go downhill fast.

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 23:00:00 -0700

Mon, 26 May 2025 22:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks off with a downhill fast story that involves a small mishap with the baby. It should be said that no baby was hurt, and really a baby was only startled. Poor Rheannon lost track of who all was in the bed, and perhaps mistook a baby in a bouncer for a cat. Tamara tagged along when her brother and niece were getting hair cuts at Great Clips. It maybe wasn't a great hair cut, but it was worth the $20. Tamara and Rheannon like the tv show The Last of Us for different reasons, but they agree that it is filmed beautifully. Tamara makes a birthday suggestion of having mustaches to go along with the cowboy hats. The mustaches reminded Tamara about a time that she went white water rafting, and much like this episode it goes downhill fast.

Rheannon has taught her daughter a new trick in the kitchen for when she helps cook. Instead of saying no to everything, as a two year old do, Rheannon has taught her daughter to say yes chef when they are cooking together.

There was also a trip to a museum and Stardust Diner, but the big excitement for the trip was to see Wicked.

After having days of leftovers Tamara made her own chopped challenge to repurpose leftovers. Additionally, she had her own technical baking challenge when she wanted to make her Mom's homemade frosting, but her Mom doesn't have a recipe. It was all by measuring by eye and looking at it the sheen of the frosting. Tamara had a lot of fun and her Mom thought she was taking it a little too seriously.

Season 8 Ep 31: Santa Stranger Danger and Spa Treatements

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:00:00 -0800

This week's episode kicks off with a spa comparison. Rheannon got out of a sauna bag to come podcast while Tamara visited a spa the day before for four hours. Rheannon has a lot of concerns, but Tamara was unbothered. While trying to be healthy Tamara accidentally ordered the wrong drink. What she thought was juice was a red vinegar blueberry tea. Rheannon wasn't sure what to expect taking her daughters to Santa, but she was not prepared for the stranger danger that her toddler would experience.

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 21:00:00 -0800

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before the US election, so we were predicting the election before the election results were in.

This episode kicks off with Tamara enjoying a victory Root Beer for her preceived Fantasy Football win. The game was not over, but Tamara likes living on the edge of heckling before the game is over and the true winner is known 100%. Rheannon wanted to know if Tamara has a crush on Steve Kornacki. She loves the stats and this era that we live in that appreciates a nerd. Rheannon is currently losing to Tamara in Fantasy Football. Let the heckling begin. Tamara does make the mistake of siding against Rheannon on how late Thanksgiving is this year, but she is also going rouge and putting up her Christmas tree ASAP.

Tamara is asked to weigh in on this idea of a possible lake front property. Turns out it was an adventure to go look at this property. It was a little alarming to have the highway turn into a road then a gravel road and then a one lane dirt road. The truly alarming part though was the road still having banks of snow on either side. Unfortunately they didn't take the truck, and the car was sliding up the hill. They didn't even get eyes on the property. Luckily they didn't get stuck, and Rheannon had to return the next day with her truck to check it out. Tamara has fun discussing the season finale of The Last of Us.

Tamara would recommend the new Hocus Pocus 2, and Rheannon would also recommend it, but she has only stayed away for about a third of the movie.

Tamara can only imagine how hard it was to get Rheannon's attention during the golden hour of fishing.

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 17:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks of with Rheannon sharing about her new fish finder. The directions explaining some assembly required might be the understatement of the year. She might have been victorious at the end, but it was at the cost of a day of the bathroom remodel. This week Rheannon was happy to report that she found a new tv show. Tamara is willing to give it a chance, but will probably not love the survival show as much as Rheannon does. Rheannon has a solid jump scare when her cat startled her. Tamara had a fun family weekend filled with good food and water games. Rheannon ups the games in her house by adding laser tag. What should have been a fun family game escalated when not everyone was playing by the rules. According to Rheannon Tamara failed an impromptu pop quiz on what to take into the wilderness for a reality show. That then snowballs into a camping trip where you only eat what you catch on the trip. Any survival change would have to be adjust. Let's just say much like this episode it would go downhill fast.

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 17:00:00 -0700

Tamara is adjusting to moving, but mostly is enjoying different restaurants and stores being close. Rheannon is disappointed in Tamara for being slow to take up her restaurant recommendations. Tamara's family is going to have to settle on a restaurant for a birthday dinner. Could be really good or really bad, but it is rarely in the middle. As an aunt Tamara will taste test baby food before she feeds it to her niece. Let's just say it was not good, and Tamara has some strong opinions about it. The debate of how to say Costco rages on, and now there is a clear outline as to who is one which side of the argument. Let's just say the odds are high that no one is right and it will go downhill fast.

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 22:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks off with checking in on Rheannon's most recent summer fishing trip and Tamara is very skeptical of Rheannon being attacked by a lady bug. Turns out Rheannon did have a reaction to a ladybug "bite" or "pinch". Whichever it was Tamara could have been more supportive. Tamara is still getting used to living in a city. Although, the new city might have an option to try new things like Frisbee Golf. Rheannon had a lesson in patience while trying to cook brownies. Let's just say it took way longer than the box said it would. Rheannon watched one of her favorite movies of the year. Tamara let's just say was along for the ride and it went downhill fast.

She was not harmed in her adventures under the house, but the internet was not so lucky. The saga with Diego trying to bring stuff in the house continues. Rheannon does not love the new night time routine. While recording the episode both cats are up on the roof trying to hunt a crow.

Only to learn that John can jump it real easy and the mischief continues. Not to be outdone the cats have also been causing problems. Rheannon woke up to noises in the night. An unknown animal might have been in the house, but it is unsure. Tamara has been staying busy hanging with the family, and decided to lend a hand and mow the lawn. This week's high excitement was when Tamara experienced a new idiot light turning on. Luckily it didn't go too downhill fast.

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 17:00:00 -0700

Rheannon is very upset with her dog. John has decided that when there is thunder the only person that he wants to be around is Theresa. Even if she is making fun of him, John still only wants to be around her. It was an eventful weekend when one of the toilets stopped working. After a lot of googling, renting equipment, and trying everything it took a plumber to fix. Tamara perhaps has been watching a little too much criminal minds, and was very startled when a closed door opened on its own. Turns out one of the dogs learned to open doors by jumping and pulling on the lever. Rheannon shares that the cats are asking for food a lot more often when Tamara isn't in town. Turns out Tamara spoils the cats with a little extra food. Tamara wants more chickens, so she can name one. Turns out googling with Alexa is more difficult than it sounds.

This week's episode kicks off with Rheannon's feedback for Tamara signing off her emails with "best". Lots to ponder for Tamara moving forward. This week Tamara didn't do a lot of work since she was recovering from being sick. Rheannon made the mistake of drinking extra pulp orange juice. Tamara laughed so hard she cried. Rheannon has started picking movies in less than 60 seconds. Tamara takes this as a chance to quiz her on the titles of the movies she has picked recently. It went downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 13: Lawn Mower Saga

Wed, 11 May 2022 18:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks off with the saga that was the lawn mower chamber of secrets. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. It was a one step forward and two steps back. Tamara did her best to help out and managed to get a little work out in while helping. Decisions were made using the tried and true method of rock, paper, scissors. Which left most people satisfied. Let's just say that it went downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 12: The trials of dog sitting murderous pick pockets

Mon, 02 May 2022 20:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks off with a surprise taste test. Rheannon is not a big fan of soda, so we are off to a rough start there. There were points for bubbles and the fun color of the soda, but overall the after taste is what soured the overall experience. Tamara had a rough week while dog sitting and then driving on the freeway. Accidents outside of her control that went downhill fast. John makes a couple of appearances trying to ask for his dinner. Rheannon had her own downhill fast experience. John mistook a log as an animal and jumped out of the kayak to investigate. He was then very confused as to why Rheannon was upset.

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 22:00:00 -0700

This week's episode kicks off with a recap of the adult easter egg hunt, which included hunting for airplane shots hidden around the yard. Tamara maybe pushed the rules of it not being full contact by literally pushing Rheannon. It was fun once "all" the bottles were found and it was time to negotiate and trade for peoples favorites. Jury is still out if all the bottles have been found. There was enough food for 19 people. Rheannon and Tamara had a hard time remember just how much food there was. Tamara lost in the game of cards against humanity. Her strategy of just picking the card she thought were funny didn't really work out for her as a winning strategy. The bathroom remodel continues with one of the final hurdles being the toilet installed. There were highs and lows, and Tamara was in the trenches. It involved a few broken pieces and a part that was thought to be lost in the garbage. Turns out it wasn't. Additionally, it turns out trying to pick a show to watch was just as difficult. After trying to find a show for over an hour another roommate stepped in and picked movies for us. It went downhill fast much like this new episode.

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 14:00:00 -0700

This week kicks off with Rheannon plotting what Tamara's projects will be since she missed out on bathroom remodel this weekend. Rheannon was also worried that Tamara hasn't been working out. She has been working out, but not wearing her watch. Tamara for the first time in a very long time was able to go for a swim and a hot tub. There is some confusion on who should be blamed for roommates getting sick. John has come up with a new level of bad dog behavior. He was found sleeping on the pool table. Tamara is still confused as to why he would think that is a good idea. While visiting home Tamara is not afraid to capitalize on how cute her nephew is, and is not afraid to talk to Grandma about cookies around the toddler since he is harder to say no to. Light spoilers for the Death on the Nile movie. Tamara and Rheannon share what they liked and didn't like about the movie. After watching Where'd You Go, Bernadette, Tamara highly recommends it. Chickens are back laying eggs. Even more exciting Rheannon is planning on getting a couple more chickens. John tried to join the podcast to ask for dinner. He knew it was exactly 6:00 pm and did not wait to wait. Let's just say that John would not be comforted and much like this episode it went downhill fast.

Tamara has her world rocked when she learned that people would pee in a wetsuit to warm it up. Rheannon is convinced that everyone pees in a wetsuit.

Let's just say that Tamara's world is rocked and this episode goes downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 7: Murky water and cold hard bass

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 15:00:00 -0700

Fishing adventures happened. Tamara was cold all day. She was promised gloves and that didn't happen. It wouldn't have solved everything, but it would have helped. Rheannon was the only person who successfully caught a fish. Everyone had fun fishing, and lots of people almost caught a fish. Tamara was not one of those people. The things people said fishing had Tamara giggling all day. Tamara is really upset that Diego is sleeping on top of the stove. She is not convinced that he won't hurt himself. There is an upcoming adventure that Tamara is really excited about. It is a group activity and Tamara and Rheannon are still trying to con a buddy into going with them. It is a sound therapy. Rheannon thinks she will enjoy it, and Tamara thinks she will get bored. Rheannon is making the slow realization that maybe her favorite genre of movie is a romantic comedy. Although when you quiz her on the plot it is surprising what she remembers. Let's just say that it goes downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 6: How many days do you think it has been?

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 09:00:00 -0800

This week's episode kicks off with Tamara and Rheannon catching up on their weekends. Tamara stayed home for a relaxing movie weekend and went out to a relaxing lunch. Rheannon went for a family ski weekend. Rheannon did not have a very restful weekend. The last ski weekend of the season also brought some crazy wind. Everyone tried to make the most of the bad weather and Rheannon wanted to reward her nieces and nephew their hard work with some froyo. Her mistake though was trying to take four kids to pick out their own ice cream with only two adults supervising. It was a zone defense that never had a chance at working. Tamara dropped the ball shopping, but she still doesn't feel like it is all her fault. Things were accidentally left off the list and Rheannon was really sad that her raisins didn't make it home. Mistakes were made and it went downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 5: Should someone go check on that noise?

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 14:00:00 -0800

This week's episode kicks off learning about how the baking challenge went. The obstacles mounted after a few failed trips to the store. Starting the cake bake with gluten free pancake mix wasn't ideal, but no one was willing to go back to the store. Emotions were high for the bake and Tamara did not thrive in that team building exercise. Weirdly it was easier to team build with the children and work together to frost a cake. Lots of pool and foosball played, and the winner of the foosball was the five year old niece. Rheannon's birthday also included some mudding and drywall work. Tamara learned a lot about mixing the perfect mud. Tamara has been struggling getting her workouts in. After getting four walks in none of the workouts met the heart rate requirement. John joined us at the end of the podcast, but maybe didn't appreciate us airing all of his bad behavior. Things also got exciting this weekend when the microwave tried to catch itself on fire. Also, one of the cats brought in a mouse and then let it go in the living room. Let's just say it went downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 4: Relaxing Sunday?

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 19:00:00 -0800

This week's episode kicks off with an update of the remodel work that has not started just yet. A lot of movies watched this week. Kicking things off with a review of Spencer. No one should be surprised that Tamara liked it more than Rheannon. Things got interesting this week with a trip to the movie theater to see Scream 5. An empty movie theater with reclining seats was a good time. Rheannon was happy to see the fifth movie in a series having seen none of the other movies. There of course is a bit of a disagreement about the rating scale about the movies, but mostly Tamara and Rheannon just like different things in a movie. Successful grocery store trip. Tamara had to juggle things carrying in the last load, but in the end no soda was dropped in the endeavor. Rheannon pulled off a bit of a surprise remodel on what Tamara thought was going to be a relaxing Sunday. Let's just say it goes downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 3: Hostile Tech Support?

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 17:00:00 -0800

This episode kicks off with the question of if we were recording. New recording gear means a need for tech support. Rheannon was not loving her drink, perhaps partially because Tamara refused to go to the store. Tamara did her best to fix the problem by fetching grenadine. Turns out Tamara really only likes to go to the store when it is her idea. Thankful for the TV recommendations from folks, and there are a couple of good options. Rheannon had a horrible migraine and to make it worse she found herself at an indoor water park with a migraine. Tamara had a great visit home. Great visit with family and friends. She did get to go on a adventure with one of her roomies. Took a pup to get a bath, and since he was such a good boy he got to pick out his own toy. Tamara's weekend was also productive when she helped her parents switch out a light fixture at their house. Her brother maybe did a lot of the grunt work with the actual electrical work. Rheannon's birthday is coming up, and she has very specific plans for the type of cake she wants. Tamara is immediately all bought in on this team builder from hell of three roommates trying to bake Rheannon a gluten free multi tiered layered cake. Tamara is trying to set a calendar and figure out shopping, supplies, and other obstacles.

Season 6 Ep 2: Venn Diagram of Murder and Titillating Television

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 16:00:00 -0800

This episode kicks off with an update on the remodel work. One step closer to using the heated floors, and Rheannon really wants the pellet stove to know their days are numbered. Tamara had a great time working on remodel stuff with Rheannon and her buddy. Tamara thrived having a buddy to talk to and was able to work with supervision. The dry wall lift worked and managed to not crush anyone. Tamara wants to try cross country skiing, and even though Rheannon thinks she will hate it she is still willing to go along. There has been some feedback on our numbering system, but Rheannon is unapologetic in there only being 32 episodes in a season. There is a question on what tv shows or movies all the roommates can agree on watching. Rheannon has her shows that she likes, which tends to be a documentaries. Tamara on the other hand is ok with a scripted show. There is the crossover though of everyone enjoying a good murder mystery. Even if they don't agree on shows this episode goes downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 1: Vegas adventures and bunny hill crossfit

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 19:00:00 -0800

After bunny hill crossfit with a giant toddler Rheannon was relieved he finally learned to put all hist weight on his ski's. The amazing nick names continued with Reck it Ralph and Smooth Criminal joining the ranks of Speed Demon and Danger Noodle. While in Vegas Tamara took time on Sunday to relax and enjoy a spa trip. For the first time ever she got a seaweed wrap. It was a unique yet enjoyable experience. Although for anyone claustrophobic it would probably go downhill fast.

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 12:00:00 -0800

This week's episode is recorded from the same house, but different rooms due to a little technical difficulty. Tamara is getting packed and ready for her trip to Vegas. Rheannon has been adjusting to Tamara moving in by doing more of the cooking. Which is a side effect of being the only person in the house still working from home. Poor John is struggling with the snow and not being able to go on his walks. Rheannon was pleased to get Tamara on board with her plan for her record players. Her hope is to have three record players each in a different room. While Tamara is heading to Vegas this weekend Rheannon is heading to ski in the mountains. Rheannon has some predictions for how her nieces and nephew will do with their ski lessons. This week will be vacations, but next week is going to be bathroom remodel. Next up is dry wall.

This week's episode kicks off with a story of perseverance and stubbornness as Rheannon takes on a battle with a giant stump.

Gift giving can be hard picking gifts and finding something the other person doesn't have. Rheannon shares the gift she got for her wife, and Tamara shares her confusion on buying expensive socks. Tamara pulls off one of the coolest things she has ever done by catching her friend from falling. Sledding is very different in college than it was as a child. Tamara rants about no one needing gloves and drinking to stay warm. This episode goes downhill fast.

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 18:00:00 -0800

The workout challenge is still going, but Tamara is struggling with some muscle pain from a lot of cycling workouts. Rheannon quizzes Tamara on a new tire prices. Tamara did some baking with the family. She did time it so she did minimal work. It turns out if she does sub par work then she gets to eat more of the baked goods. It is the time of year for baking.

Rheannon and Tamara come up with a new dating app that lets your friends/family act as a wingman. Rheannon goes on a tangent at the end about Disney characters and which characters are sleeping with other Disney characters.

A once perceived stray cat shows up wearing a cheetah print vest. The real question is what animal is meeting John face to face and keeps coming back. It is now multiple times this week John has had to protect the house from the unknown critter. Tamara shares her breakdown from her Spotify wrapped list. Biggest take away is that she listens to a ton of music. The episode then wraps up with some holiday movie reviews and recommendations that really do go downhill fast.

With Tamara back in town it is now Rheannon's turn to head out of town. Will the workout challenge continue over the holidays or go downhill fast? No one really knows. Tamara did have a great time at a fancy dinner and managed to not embarrass her friend or herself too bad. Adventures were had trying new foods and helping out some strangers. Rheannon had her own adventure in a restaurant, but her adventure involved tying to decide how to help or if you help when a mouse is running around the restaurant. One thing is for sure this episode goes downhill fast.

Season 5 Ep 24: Weird things happen in the middle of the night...

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 16:00:00 -0800

This week's episode we have a guest. Turns out Tamara maybe hasn't been the best house guest, and that is only partially because of a cracked dinner plate.

Tamara decided to check the house with a 22 pound dog for "backup". Turns out it was just her phone, but she didn't communicate that very well to her buddy before leaving.

This episode kicks off with Tamara sharing how she messed up and didn't know the difference between a wine decanter and a vase.

Rheannon is getting the bug to go fishing. so much so that she might even go fishing in the rain. Tamara tried to join a zoom meeting on her phone and ran into a whole plethora of technical difficulties. IN a state of full panic she logged out of the zoom meeting and turned off her pone.

For how much Rheannon tends to hates movies, this review does not go nearly as downhill fast as you might imagine.

Season 5 Ep 19: Catching up on Copenhagen and Carports

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 02:00:00 -0700

This week's episode is all about Tamara's Copenhagen adventures and Rheannon's success in getting winterized, and that includes the carport. Luckily Tamara has not gotten lost on the public transit, but that is largely due to her friend picking her up from the airport and navigating all public transit. Rheannon had a very productive weekend completing part one of the carport. Which is one step closer to being ready for winterization, which is good timing since it has already snowed once. There also was an afternoon where Rheannon moved six tons of pallets. Tamara enjoyed smooth travel, and the pleasant surprise of seeing the northern lights on her flight. Travel has gone smooth so far, but there was a little confusion as Tamara was trying to pay money and convert different currency exchanges in her head. Either Tamara is going to figure it out, or it is going to go downhill fast.

Season 5 Ep 18: Avoiding scary movies about the woods because we go out there

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 15:00:00 -0700

This episode kicks off with Tamara trying to blame a baby for being late. Turns out is was less about it being hard saying good bye to a very cute nephew and more about Tamara forgetting things and having to drive further. It was a rough start to the day with Tamara breaking her glasses and then discovering that her car had been egged. Although there was the possibility of a who done it, Tamara just took her car to get the second car wash in three days. Talking about watching spooky movies now that it is getting to be Halloween season Rheannon refuses to watch scary movies that take place in the woods. Her reasoning being that they go out there to ski and fish. Tamara might have been reading a murder mystery on the banks of the river in Montana while Rheannon fished and it definitely gave a different vibe. Much like an app idea that Tamara has this episode goes downhill fast.

Season 5 Ep 17: The important step of cat interrogations

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 13:00:00 -0700

Tamara kicks off this episode a little tired from a fun filled day of babysitting. There were some mixed results with how pleased people were with their dinners. Tamara might be visiting this weekend for some bathroom remodeling. Rheannon is gearing up to make some real progress on the bathroom remodel with or without her. Also, preparing to buy tons of pellets. Being an adult means you turn on the heat when you feel like it. Tamara made a huge mess doing some arts and crafts. No glitter though so it could have been worse. Dead bird brought into the guest room. Instead of cleaning it up Rheannon spent time interrogating the cats. Will it still be there when Tamara visits?
