Do you start your day by chatting with friends on social media or checking the group chat for a great discussion? Eva does.

    Excuse Me, May I Have This Dance?

    Eva made what seemed like a simple anniversary post on Facebook that turned out to not be so simple to her friends and family. The reactions sparked a conversation about agency, being an introvert, accepting quirks, and respecting boundaries. On this episode of Chat and Bother, Eva and Don discuss their personality differences and how those differences helped them navigate twenty years of marriage.

    BONUS EPISODE: Did We Learn Nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef?

    What made Marjorie Taylor Green think she could come for Rep Jasmine Crockett and survive? Did we learn nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef? *sigh* In this bonus episode, we talk about our experiences with people writing checks their 🍑 can't cash, and getting publicly eviscerated.


    We mention a very funny human that you should check out online and in person. Here is his Instagram - Maronzio Vance Instagram


    We know him as Don's former roommate who proved that you don't have to be a celebrity to be roasted for two-hours straight. You know him as an actor and comedian who has starred alongside George Lopez, and written for some of your favorite shows. If you get a chance to see him live, do that.

    Hey Auntie! How Do You Navigate Generational Etiquette?

    Hey Auntie! How Do You Navigate Generational Etiquette?

    How does Gen X measure up in the formality department? Join Don and Eva as they discuss cultural nuances, family dynamics, and the mathematical formula you have to use when addressing family members. When are you on a first-name basis? When must you use titles like "auntie," "uncle," "mister," or "miss."


    Are millennials too laid-back or simply redefining what it means to show respect? Is Gen Y missing the mark on formality, or are they pioneering a new era of cultural, familial, and societal norms? What is your formula when it comes to addressing your loved ones or strangers?
