    Our Founding Farter and Chlamydia in Bloom

    Our Founding Farter and Chlamydia in Bloom

    Every podcast has that one running joke about something left uncompleted, and for us, it's the grand hollering contest we left hanging in the air like a note from a yodeler on a mountaintop. Well, the echoes have returned, and we're finally crowning the champions of our cacophonous challenge! Expect to be entertained by a diverse mix of victory cries, including a Swedish shout that tickles our funny bones. Plus, indulge in our whimsical commune fantasies, where I'm the mayor without a town hall, and discover why soft shell crabs are comedy gold.

    Now, who could resist a bit of laughter with a side of history? Benjamin Franklin might have penned the Declaration of Independence, but today, we're more interested in his declaration of flatulence freedom with "Fart Proudly." And oh, the words we've tangled—jujitsu and chlamydia have never been more hilariously confused. From the pages of Lisa See's "Lady Tan's Circle of Women," we're whisked away into a world of historical fiction, weaving together traditional Chinese culture and the time-honored art of storytelling.

    Feeling nostalgic? We've all got those songs that define our teenage angst and early adulthood escapades, and in this episode, we're turning up the volume on those very tracks. Walk down memory lane with us, and laugh at the lyrical slip-ups that have us crimson with embarrassment even years later. A huge shoutout to our producer, Sarah Reed, who choreographs our audio dance week after week—this episode of the Cat and Moose Podcast is a symphony of chuckles, candid tales, and tunes that are the soundtrack of our lives.Support the Show.

    Name Your Seasoning and a Funding Endeavor

    Ever wondered how a simple hum can soothe your nervous system, or how a surprise encounter with nature's wildlings can turn into a hair-raising tale? Join us as Producer Sara regales us with her San Diego escapades and we navigate the unpredictable waters of remote recording. As Sara's voice unexpectedly dips and dives, giving us a chuckle, we also delve into the science behind the calming effects of humming on the vagus nerve—a little-known trick to keep you humming with good vibes all day long.

    Our episode takes a wild turn with some critter comedy when Kat recounts a listener's personal battle of wits with a sneaky cicada and Sara's sprint-in-the-park from a California King snake. We weave through these encounters with nature's unpredictability to the more tender moments of life, like dealing with Bell-Bell's anxiety after a grooming session. It's a heartfelt nod to the empathy we share with our four-legged companions, serving up a slice of life that pet parents know all too well.

    Rounding out our conversation, we sprinkle in some 'seasonal seasonings'—those personal philosophies that give our lives their unique flavor. From Kat's personal recipe of "A Little Goes a Long Way" to Sara's vibrant "Tajin," each of us shares the zest that keeps us tickled and tenacious. And if you've ever been curious about the intersection of holistic health and therapeutic practices, we're stirring the pot with insights on licorice extract, the intriguing potential of combining talk therapy with psychedelics, and the artistry that springs from meditative states. Get ready for an episode that spices up your routine with laughter, learning, and a touch of something unexpectedly profound.

    Cicada Piss and The Case of Life

    Cicada Piss and The Case of Life

    Ever had a moment that made you realize just how gloriously imperfect we all are? That's right where we begin this laugh-out-loud episode, where we reflect on the small, sometimes awkward reminders of our shared humanity—a rogue spit choke or the suburban battle of wills with a lawnmower. With thunder rumbling over Nashville, we dance through our emotions, sharing the joy and the mundane of life's everyday dance. Producer Sara adds her own stories, making this a conversation you'll want to join.

    Life lately feels like an emotional whack-a-mole, doesn't it? We get real about riding the rollercoaster since 2020 and the unassuming acts of courage that get us through the day. Sharing a soothing quote from Rilke and musing on the ebb and flow of our feelings, we invite you to join us in finding strength in the present and solace in the world's natural wonders. This heart-to-heart is a reminder to pat yourself on the back for your bravery in the small things and to take a deep breath of fresh air when life gets overwhelming.

    And just when you think things can't get any quirkier, we slide into the topic of cicadas and the gifts these critters are bringing with them this summer. We navigate the choppy skies of airplane safety anxieties, laugh through the social dances of lifestyle changes, and gear up to face nature's little surprises. Wrapping up with a nod to fresh starts and the nostalgic magic of summer camp, we leave you with a sense of hope, resilience, and anticipation for the adventures ahead. Tune in for an episode that's as fun as it is profound, where every chuckle and challenge is part of the beautiful mix that is life.

    Dino Identities and How Aren’t You?

    Dino Identities and How Aren’t You?

    Ever found yourself in a cap and gown belting out tunes during a Nashville karaoke night? We're all about unconventional celebrations, and as I nudge closer to thesis completion, we're debating just how to mark the occasion. Join us for a hearty laugh as we swap tales from aching childhood memories at Kings Island to the adult rite of passage that is greeting card selection – all while pondering the societal pressures of commemorating life’s milestones.

    Midlife has its revelations, and we're not afraid to share ours – from the serendipitous joy of picking out the perfect humorous card to the unexpected insights gained during a bodywork session. We'll take you through an intimate discussion on the liberating shift toward self-contentment that age often brings, and the profound benefits of therapy, especially when it comes to understanding the intricate parts that make up our psyche. It's a candid chat about giving space to our internal parts, and how that can release decades of stress.

    And because life's tapestry is nothing if not diverse, we traverse from Lucille Ball's surprising influence on "Star Trek" to the peaceful sanctuary of a therapist's office. We muse over the calming effects of white noise, and the riveting draw of true crime stories, and leave you with a quirky cliffhanger about cicadas that's sure to provoke curiosity. So, settle in with us, Kat and Moose, for a heartfelt episode that’s as unique and multifaceted as the human experience itself.

We're spreading our wings, and we want you to be part of this elevated flight, where we examine the innate instincts that guide us and the collective energy that propels us forward. It's not just about change; it's about the exhilaration of discovering our full potential and the unity we feel when we come together in joy and purpose.

    Our latest conversation takes a heartfelt turn as we share moments that have shaped us, like the dedication of a song from the amazing Matt Maher that brought home the value of personal connections. We celebrate the quirks that set us apart, diving into the world of left-handers and the beauty of embracing our individuality—Sara's supposed autism included. It's about cherishing those unique traits that make our interactions rich and life all the more colorful. So, join us as we toast to the peculiarities that make us who we are.

    Then, buckle up as we navigate from the music industry to the wild relationships in Borneo's rainforests and the perplexing appearances of monoliths worldwide. We discuss how nature's odd couples and these enigmatic structures stir our curiosity and wonder. Add to that a foray into the realms of quantum physics and spirituality with Dr. Diana Pasolka, and you're in for an episode that not only tickles the brain but touches the soul. We're here to celebrate the courage to express ourselves, and we share stories of overcoming the paralysis of judgment, finding freedom in authenticity. Tune in, and let's explore this fascinating tapestry of life together.

    Kat’s Performance and a Pickled Dinosaur Brain

    Kat’s Performance and a Pickled Dinosaur Brain

    Ever hit a pothole on the road to self-improvement? Well, strap in with Kat and Moose as we regale you with tales of life's unexpected bumps, from audio mishaps to the exhilaration of rediscovering our physical potential. Our producer Sara jumps into the fray with a headphone mic, proving that when the tech goes awry, the show must go on – and it does, with a guitar-led trip down memory lane with Melissa Etheridge's tunes as our backdrop. Plus, we've got the scoop on how a change as simple as moving more can reignite your zest for life and work, and why sore muscles can be a signpost on the path to joy.

    If you've ever questioned the power of a good cry or the dance of delicate communication, this episode is your rhythm. With emotional revelations and a peek into the catharsis of tears, we unravel the threads of nonviolent communication and the art of expressing oneself. It's not just about airing grievances; it's a deeper dive into how we engage with our own emotions and those of others, particularly in the heat of conflict. And as if that's not enough, we'll connect the dots between Taylor Swift, Emily Dickinson, and perhaps most surprisingly, dinosaur footprints and a 'pickled' dinosaur brain.

    Prepare to have your curiosity tickled with stories of prehistoric discoveries on English beaches and the enigmatic survival of ancient brain matter. We ponder over what it means to find such relics from a bygone era and how they stir the imagination. But it's not all ancient history – we also tackle the modern phenomena of "concierge moms" and what this says about student independence. So, whether you're in for the science, the self-help, or just want to hear about Iguanodon (or is it an iguana named Don?), this episode has something to pique your interest. Join us for a journey of laughter, learning, and the occasional musical outburst.
