 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!!

  1. Celebrate Success

    Celebrate Success

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda kick off with snarky pop-culture banter before settling into a simple but surprisingly deep question: how do you celebrate success? Dagda admits he rarely “celebrates” at all, which leads to a conversation about what rewards actually look like after returning to work following a long break. From micro-celebrations (extra game time, snacks, small wins) to real-life practicality (new work clothes, budgeting, reliable boots, and the joy of not doing laundry constantly), they unpack the ways people recognize progress. The episode wraps on a more heartfelt note about why celebrating small victories matters—especially after loss, major life changes, and the stress of re-entering the workforce. #podcast #genx #celebratesuccess #selfworth #worklife #lol Artwork: Kyra_Starr 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

  2. Monster Hunt Anyone?

    Monster Hunt Anyone?

    Send us Fan Mail  Jen and Dagda kick off with a weather check, a quick update on balancing work life, and shout outs to international listeners—complete with chaotic (and heartfelt) attempts at saying “thank you” in multiple languages. From there, they jump into fandom news, including renewed hope (and rumors) around a Dresden Files reboot that could finally honor the long-running story arcs. Then Dagda makes his case for Monster Hunter International—bounty-hunting monsters, government payoff systems, outlawed magic, and a protagonist whose first encounter with a werewolf is as wild as it sounds. Along the way, they rant about trailer culture ruining movies, touch on Teen Wolf rewatches and reboot dreams, and wrap with reading/listening recommendations as a better escape than doom-scrolling. #podcast #genx #redabook #LarryCorreia #JimButcher #monsterhunterinternational #stopdoomscrolling  Artwork:FriedeDia 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

    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

  4. May The Fourth

    MAY 4

    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

  5. 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

  6. Goodbye Mr Harris

    APR 27

    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

    Sneaky Snacks

    Send us Fan Mail It’s Sneaky Snack Day on Conversations Over Coffee, and Jen and Dagda are going all in on comfort treats, nostalgia, and the weird ways our bodies—and algorithms—react to what we consume. In this episode, they: Revisit King of the Hill pilot episode and the lost art of knowledgeable hardware-store staff.Break down old-school hangover cures, modern supplements, and what being a teetotaler really means.Wander into the unglamorous (but real) territory of yeast infections, allergies, and body signals.Talk Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, Sir Mix-a-Lot, and why AI and social feeds seem to be listening.Officially launch Sneaky Snack Day, taste-testing Harry Potter 25th anniversary Butterbeer popcorn and fudge-stripe cookies.Roast Smoky Bacon Pringles for tasting more like crab bake and old grease than actual bacon.Reflect on sugar as comfort, Pacific Northwest gloom, and why our first impulse on a bad day is a fancy coffee or a sweet snack.If you love food tangents, snack reviews, and brutally honest body talk with a side of pop culture, this one’s for you. #podcast #GenX #lol #adulthumor #BobbyBrown #SirMixALot #HarryPotter #Snacks Artwork:KarmaDevi 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
