Everyday Life:Conversations Over Coffee

Jen & Dagda

 We have been the best of friends for 15 years (whether he  likes it or not..lol).  Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it! Come and laugh with us at our quirky, weird brains as we navigate this thing called "podcasting". We truly are just a couple of smart asses with diverse interests who need jobs to make an income. Since we couldn't find that in the "normal" world, we came here to give it a go! We truly are grateful you are here to support us on our journey. If you would like to help us along, we accept one time (or reoccurring) donations thru paypal! ** paypal.me/ELConversations2025 ** Please be sure to check us out on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Patreon and Discord!!

    Who's Got Secrets?

    Send us Fan Mail  The cat is officially out of the bag!  Jen and Dagda reveal their return to the workforce and dive into the messy, hilarious, and sometimes "stinky" reality of modern employment. From Jen’s adventures in retail management—including a showdown with a pregnant mouse and the "Cat Shit Breath" coworker—to Dagda’s reflections on Army leadership and generational shifts in the workplace, this episode covers it all.  They discuss the "what if" mindset in science, the shifting laws of shoplifting, and how Jen helped her team go from #27 to #1 in a company-wide competition. It’s a raw look at value, responsibility, and the secrets we keep while "adulting." #podcast #GenX #adulting #celebrate #employed #payingbills #moneyisnice Artwork:qimono Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    May The Fourth

    Send us Fan Mail Even though Jen isn't necessarily a Star Wars Fan, she and Dagda celebrate May the Fourth with a deep dive into the origins of Star Wars Day, from the 1977 grassroots campaign to Margaret Thatcher’s political wordplay and the first organized fan celebrations. They reflect on Carrie Fisher’s legacy, debate the infamous Star Wars Christmas Special, and break down the highs and lows of the original trilogy, prequels, and sequel trilogy. The conversation expands into canon controversies, Disney’s acquisition, marketing strategy, fan backlash, and the generational divide between longtime fans and newcomers. They also compare Star Wars to Star Trek’s more optimistic outlook and explore how science fiction inspires real-world innovation in STEM fields. #podcast #maythefourthbewithyou #StarWars #JedisandSiths #MarkHamill #GeorgeLucas #CarrieFisher #HarrisonFord #HaydenChristianson #genx #adulthumor #jawas #ewoks Artwork:ZT_OSCAR Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

  3. The Tao of Chuck

    APR 29

    The Tao of Chuck

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda honor Chuck Norris the only way that feels appropriate: with laughter, absurd one-liners, and a surprisingly thoughtful look at the principles that shaped his life. From his early years and military service to martial arts mastery, film/TV milestones, and even video game appearances, they trace the myth, the man, and the memes. The heart of the episode lands on Chuck’s personal “10 commandments” (his code of conduct) and what it means to live with purpose—then they close with a rapid-fire finale of classic Chuck Norris jokes and a warm goodbye. When Chuck Norris enters a room, he doesn't turn the lights on, he turns the dark off #podcast #ChuckNorris #LongLiveChuck #BeHumbleandKind #GenX #Icon #thewayofchuck Artwork:geralt Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

  4. Goodbye Mr Harris

    Goodbye Mr Harris

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda start with spring weather misery, burrito cravings, and a candid health check-in—then shift into heavier territory as they say goodbye to Nicholas Brendon, best known as Xander Harris from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They share memories of the Buffy cast (and Spike love), talk Brendon’s later roles and struggles, and reflect on how quickly time is moving for the actors and shows that shaped their generation. The episode also detours into reality TV and a heated conversation about accountability, abuse, and why patterns of harmful behavior shouldn’t be excused. #podcast #Buffy #NicholasBrendan #memories #GenX #timedoesntstop #SpikeRules #LongLiveXanderHarris #SarahMichellePrinze #JamesMarsters #AllisonHannigan Artwork:kinkate Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound

    King or Koontz

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda kick off with wildly unfiltered life talk, then dive headfirst into books, movies, and the authors who shaped modern horror and thriller fiction. From debating the Dungeons & Dragons and Warcraft films, to comparing Stephen King vs. Dean Koontz, to nerding out over Brandon Sanderson’s MistBorn, this episode is a pop-culture spiral in the best way. They also detour into why horror evolves (zombies → mind powers → robot fear), touch on the real-world impact of AI on jobs, and finish with passionate Dresden Files dream-casting rules that must be obeyed. #podcast #Stephenking #deankoontz #jimbutcher #TheDresdenFiles #SarahMichelleGellar #BuffyReboot Artwork:Vogue0987 Support the show Your new addiction awaits you..you're welcome! #podcast #lol #genx #smartass #egosandattitudes Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578374587810 https://www.instagram.com/elcoceverydaylife2025/# http://www.youtube.com/@2025everydaylifepodcastCOC https://discord.gg/tHA3AkNpVC https://patreon.com/EverydayLifeConversations?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Music by:DELOSound
