    All or Nothing

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventures of Des and Cort, the Hot Flashes are HOT and the emotional support porch geese are thriving 🔥🪿 Cort’s Hot Flash is all about the absolutely aggressive traffic situation in our little town at 3:15pm. Why is everyone driving like they are fleeing a natural disaster? Calm down Cheryl, we are literally headed to soccer practice. Des’s Hot Flash is… herself 😅 She officially packed her schedule way too full and is realizing she cannot keep saying yes to everything. So if you hear her agreeing to something, please step in and lovingly say no on her behalf. We also talk about Des’s trip to DC with the Military Affairs Committee and how meaningful the experience was. She made it to the White House, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial her very first day there and was deeply moved by all of it. One of those moments you know will stay with you forever 🇺🇸. Then we spiral into the porch goose obsession. Apparently all the girlies are emotionally attached to these geese and their tiny seasonal outfits because our messages were FULL. Some of you own them. Some of you need them. Some of you are now hunting one down. We cannot wait to share the outfits because honestly… this may be our personality now. 🪿✨ Cort also talks about the color analysis class she attended at Olive and Atlas, a super cute boutique on the Air Force Base. Maria from The EnhanceHer did the analysis and it was all so fun. Go follow both of them because they are amazing and we may or may not be planning an event together soon. 👀 We also dive back into The Women because apparently we became readers overnight. We somehow made it all the way to chapter 21 and whew… Frankie’s homecoming has us emotional. Her dad’s reaction hurt our feelings and Rye dying absolutely wrecked us. Thank goodness for besties who show up and pull you out of your dark moments 💔 As always there are side tangents, random thoughts and enough yapping to keep us all entertained. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts. #adventuresofdesandcort #hotflash #porchgoose #thewomen #midlifechaos We can't grow without your support!

    What's Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gander

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventures of Des and Cort, the Hot Flashes are HOT 🔥 Des is once again irritated by people in public who cannot detach themselves from their phones. While out to dinner, there was a man sitting across from them with TWO phones. He was on TikTok Live on one and FaceTime on the other. Sir… are you hosting a telethon? Everyone around him was held hostage by his volume and terrible decisions. Cort’s Hot Flash is for the people who immediately CALL after you send them a text. Absolutely not. If she texted you instead of calling, there was a reason. Please text back like the rest of civilized society 😅 Des also had to publicly clear Betsy’s name after falsely accusing her in the last episode of stealing a jumpsuit. Turns out… it was not Betsy. Justice for Betsy. Cort tells us about her urgent care experience where her sample of pee was just casually sitting beside her in the waiting room like an emotional support beverage. Medicine is beautiful. Then Des admits she said some wildly questionable things to a client on the phone and is officially sick of herself. Somewhere deep inside lives the spirit of a 72-year-old inappropriate man and occasionally he escapes. We also talk about this Hantavirus situation because honestly… are we really doing mysterious viruses again? We are tired. We barely recovered emotionally from the last round 😳 Add in side tangents, random stories and the usual yapping and you’ve got another episode that feels like sitting at dinner with your funniest friends. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere you get your podcasts.

    Get Over It Sis!

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventures of Des and Cort, Des’s Hot Flash is aimed directly at grudge holders 🔥 Seriously… how are people staying mad for YEARS over something so silly? We might be too forgiving but at some point you have got to move on. Some people are out here carrying emotional baggage like it’s a competitive sport. Girl… you are giving entirely too many f’s. Then we spiral into panic over needing dresses for a Kentucky Derby party. Hats? Fascinators? Loud prints? Structured dresses? We are simple girlies and this feels dangerously close to costume territory 👒😅 If you have ideas, please help because confidence levels are low. Cort also calls Des out for having bougie dogs and honestly… the evidence is strong. Willie gets scared if the windows are open too long. Addie refuses to pee on wet grass like she pays the mortgage. The list of quirks keeps growing and suddenly Des realizes she may have accidentally raised entitled animal celebrities. We also dive into chapters 10, 11 and 12 of The Women and whew… things are getting emotional. Frankie losing Jamie, Ethel leaving, and her transfer to the 71st really show how isolated and intense that world was compared to life back home. You can actually feel Frankie changing and growing through the letters she writes to her parents. It is heartbreaking, eye opening and making us love this book even more 📚💔 Of course there are side tangents, random opinions and the usual yapping that somehow takes us everywhere and nowhere at the same time. 🎧 Listen now to Adventures of Des and Cort on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere you get your podcasts.

    From The Booty To The Cootie

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventures of Des and Cort, the Hot Flashes are loud, the patience is low and TSA got a little too personal 😅✈️ Des kicks things off with airport rage. If you are walking slow, stopping randomly, or blocking entire walkways while staring at your phone, she would like you to respectfully… move. Situational awareness is free. Please use it. Cort’s Hot Flash is for the people who constantly complain about their spouse like it is a full time hobby. If you are that unhappy… why are you still there? We are confused. Des recaps her Florida trip and it delivered everything. Humidity that turned her hair into a full helmet. A last second outfit change that nearly took her out. A photo involving a helmet and a gun that will never see daylight. And of course the TSA experience that inspired this entire episode title. Let’s just say it went from the booty to the cootie real quick and no one was prepared 😳 She also met some incredible women with stories that sound like movies. Situations involving R Kelly and Epstein’s pilot that could have gone very differently. Both trusted their gut and got out. A reminder that your intuition is there for a reason. Cort introduces Des to “catching print” and no… it is not what you think. It is bold, slightly unhinged and somehow empowering. The girlies are going to have thoughts. We also talk about Cort having Ella Langley on repeat and her inability to listen to music without moving. Sitting still is not an option and honestly we respect it. As always there are side tangents, random thoughts and conversations that take unexpected turns. Airport chaos. Marriage truths. TSA trauma. Just another week. 🎧 Listen now to Adventures of Des and Cort on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts. We can't grow without your support! Do us a solid and leave a review!

    Let's Get Real

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventures of Des and Cort, we start with a very real Hot Flash. How can you feel completely fine one minute… and then catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror, a photo or a video and suddenly feel like the largest, least attractive version of yourself to ever exist? Make it make sense 😅📸 Then things get real. Des shares that she didn’t have a Hot Flash this week because she is sitting in deep gratitude. After a mammogram in March, she got the call no one wants. A suspicious spot. She walks us through the waiting, the appointments, the unknown and everything that comes with it. The mental spiral. The fear. The what ifs. And ultimately… the relief of good news. It’s a reminder of what actually matters and how quickly perspective can shift. 💗 We also talk about how Josh lovingly roasts Cort for thinking more like a man than she’d like to admit. She knows she cannot be the only female out here with these thought patterns. Des brings up a photo that still makes her laugh every single time. Hard hats that did not fit. Shorts. And a very bold hand placement that deserves its own moment in history. She keeps it in her closet as a reminder that no outfit could ever be worse than that day. Honestly… grounding. Cort thinks it might be time to revisit Des’s bunker building era because the world is getting a little too wild for comfort. Prepared or paranoid? We will circle back. We also dive into chapters 7 through 9 of our Besties Book Club pick The Women. Things are getting intense and we are loving the bond between Frankie, Ethel and Barb. It really makes you think about what it would feel like to be thrown into something that heavy with no preparation. Of course there are tangents, sidebars and plenty of yapping because that is who we are. Gratitude. Body image spirals. Hard hats. Possible bunkers. Just another week. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts. #adventuresofdesandcort #womeninour40s #hotflash #gratitude #realtalk We can't grow without your support!

    This Is the Episode That Gets Us Cancelled

    Send us Fan Mail No really. This might be the one. This week’s Hot Flashes are aimed directly at people who read half a message, respond with confidence, and somehow miss the entire point. The information was there. All of it. You just stopped early and chose chaos. We also need to discuss the alarming lack of common-sense walking around freely in society. Who is approving this behavior? Who is supervising? Because we have concerns. Speaking of questionable behavior, we had a full giggle fest over episode 6 of Neighbors and the aggressive amount of unexpected wieners. If you need a laugh, go watch. Immediately. Maybe not with your kids. It is unhinged and we highly recommend for a giggle. Des shares a dream where we decided it was a good idea to break into houses just to look around. You know, casual criminal curiosity. Things escalated quickly when we got pulled over and Des went into full panic mode. Heart racing. Life flashing. Turns out… just a dream. Our records remain clean for now. Then we discuss a man with no arms and no legs facing a murder charge and… listen… we have questions. So many questions. We showed incredible restraint.  Barely. Which frankly deserves recognition. We also check in on our Besties Book Club and the first 6 chapters of The Women. Are we running this book club like professionals? No. Are we trying? Kind of. But we are reading and we have thoughts. And finally, we celebrate Cort’s HOLE-IN-ONE at Desert Canyon in Mountain Home on hole 6 with a full audience. Main character moment and we are still not over it. This will be a story she never let’s die.⛳🔥 As always, there are tangents, side stories, and the kind of unfiltered yapping you’ve come to expect. 🎧 Listen now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. #adventuresofdesandcort #womeninour40s #cancelled #unfiltered #yapsesh We can't grow without your support!

    Lamborfeeties

    Send us Fan Mail Adventures of Des and Cort is back and this one is called Lamborfeeties… because after this conversation, we are fully convinced some people should not be driving and should instead be using their God-given lamborfeeties. Cort exposes her road rage and the best part is she doesn’t even realize it’s happening while she’s casually on the phone like everything is fine. Meanwhile Des found an account called Mr. Road Ready and now fully believes some of you should not be allowed behind the wheel. At all. Ever 🚗😳 Des is also officially meeting’d out. If it is not an email, she does not want to be invited. Protecting her peace one declined calendar invite at a time. Honestly, same. We celebrate Des being appointed as an ACC Civic Leader and Cort could not be more proud. This is a big deal and we love to see women stepping into roles like this and absolutely owning it. 👏 Then we have a moment of realization. We are now the old ladies at baby showers and weddings. The observers. The commentators. The ones saying back in my day. It happened fast and we have thoughts. Cort also shares a reality check about retirement that has her rethinking everything. Turns out “comfortable” might require a whole lot more than expected and she may be just a little behind. Nothing like a casual financial spiral to keep things exciting. 💸😵‍💫 Of course there are side tangents, random thoughts and the usual unfiltered yapping that makes you feel like you are right there with us. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts. #adventuresofdesandcort #podcastlife #womeninour40s #midlifechaos #retirementreality We can't grow without your support!

    Beaver Whistles

    Send us Fan Mail This week on Adventures of Des and Cort, Cort is fresh back from Puerto Rico and still mentally on island time 🌴☀️She shares all about the golf, the warmth, the ocean, exploring the rain forest, and wandering through beautiful Old San Juan. The people were incredible, the vibes were immaculate and if Puerto Rico is not on your travel list yet… it needs to be. Of course the trip also included the true test of human patience. Air travel. We discuss the absolute chaos of people who lose their minds while boarding and un-boarding flights. You know the ones. Standing immediately. Pushing forward like the plane is on fire. One man stood up so fast that Josh got a surprise right on his shoulder. Yes… someone’s full wiener. Personal space officially cancelled ✈️😳 Then there was the guy who took his shoes off the second he sat down and walked into the airplane bathroom in nothing but socks. Straight to jail. We are both convinced those socks came back with souvenirs no one asked for. Cort also realized her flight path went straight through the Bermuda Triangle and her 10-year-old self would have absolutely panicked about disappearing forever in mysterious ocean fog. Back home we talk about our evolving granny hobbies. Des is lobbying hard to start a puzzle swap because once you finish a puzzle, why let it collect dust when you could trade it and start another one? Honestly… it’s not a bad idea 🧩 Then comes the mystery that sparked this episode. Des asked Cort what she thought “Beaver Whistles” were and let’s just say Cort’s guess was wildly incorrect. Think you know what it is? Des also shares a hilarious call from her 7 year old nephew Waylon. Little southern accent, big personality, and the confidence to FaceTime his aunt just to chat. Once he saw her on screen he was suddenly less interested and ready to move on. Kids keep us humble 📱😂 Add in our usual side tangents, random life chats and unfiltered yapping and you’ve got another episode that feels like sitting at the table with your funniest friends.
