Sleepy People: Recent Episodes
Jeannette
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Rainday. Grady is nice about Jeannie ordering the wrong color of snow pants. Recorded Oct 24, 2020.
Grady refuses to tell Jeannie and Sawyer about being a spotlight student. He stresses about driving a car and all the buttons to learn. Sawyer attempts to sneak in to snuggle with Eric. Recorded Oct 21, 2020.
School closes but it’s fartin’ ok by Grady. Jeannie isn’t so stoked about it. We won’t even ask Eric how he feels. Recorded Oct 19, 2020.
This one is probably the best glamateur singing you will hear. Even serious Grady does a few singie words.
This one is all over the place. Sawyer hallucinates and Grady is very interested in tsunami inundation zones. Somehow Save-U-More’s inventory becomes a prominent topic of discussion. Jeannie threatens to freeze Axel’s birthday present and takes the joke too far.
Grady and Jeannie strategize Christmas prezzies for Eric who is heard loading the dishwasher with unbridled aggression. Grady is now aware of this podcast but insists on calling it an audio book.
It becomes apparent that Sawyer hasn’t been paying attention during evening story time. But he DOES like tigers. And most pain doesn’t hurt... except head-butt pain. Just listen to this episode if only to hear how weird Sawyer pronounces Band-Aid.
What is the purpose of a 7 year old? Grady sets some goals... some highly unrealistic ones. The theme song lyrics come to be.
Battleship theory. Rare Sawyer cameo. Jeannie doesn’t know how TV works but lies her way through it. Grady DOES know because of the Berenstain Bears.
The extra 12 minutes in which we were all actually asleep has been edited out YOU ARE WELCOME.
G kinda goes off the rails on this one. He’s very into farts, butts, wieners, etc. I try to convince him I’m not recording the “audio book,” bold faced lying to my child for the sake of content. Theme song by Scott Mongillo, vocals by Grady and Jeannie.
We discuss our favorite subject. Lunch. Check out the new theme song! Thank you to Scott Mongillo for this lullaby. Vocals by Grady and Jeannie.
Jeannie is sick. Normal sick #blessed. Grady is curious about a vaccine and discovers that he’s being recorded. Lots of gross and annoying sounds on this. Might be a good one to skip, TBH. Sorry to our sponsors. Just kidding, we don’t have sponsors.
Jeannie wants short hair but Grady doesn’t think she’s skinny enough for it. She’ll show him with a) a verbal course correction and b) a bad haircut! Don’t let society or your 7 year old put their weird standards on you!
Ok, we gave up on Little Women, but we started the Chronicles of Narnia. In the wrong order. And we talked about Nipples.
Grady gives up on Little Women. Grady doesn’t like my grilled cheese. Ghordo writes us a theme song and I’m trying to figure out how to add my angelic voice to it.
We’re slowly recovering from Little House on the Prairie by trying to get into Little Women... no success this far. We’re also learning more about the playground at school. And, well, you already read the title. 🤷🏼♀️
We do some online shopping for solid shampoo and Ozzy Osbourne drops by to sing us a song.
Grady is back to school, having strange lunches, losing his body fat content and having a ball.
No curse words in this one. Just a quick little good night in which no 3 or 7 year olds want hugs or kisses.
Discussing what Puerto Rico is distracts Grady from his deep sadness about Laura and Almanzo losing their crops, their newborn son, and their house. The First Four Years is not the best book choice, do not recommend. There’s an “S” word in this one- sorry, we are emotionally delicate right now.
This is a serious episode. We discuss marriage, god, Mom abandoning her family. Mom tries to sell it real hard. Mom is unsure if she was successful.
Just skip this one. Grady is a snot faucet and it’s gross. But we do learn about Fruit Smack, so maybe you’ll like it.
We find out more about Grady’s foot hygiene. Also note the complete absence of sleepiness in this episode.
That escalated. I also don’t know how to join audio files, have no business making podcasts but who am I to say what the people want? Anyway- this is Part 1 of 2.
Is it ok to let your 7 year old watch Jurassic Park? Grady seems to think it is. He is, however, thoroughly creeped by blood donation.
Grady demands literal correctness with eyelashes in/on/around his eyes, punches Mom in the belly a few times, and gossips about his classmates. Featuring Dax, Axel, and Green Fish #11.
Grady’s nighttime hotness inspires him to desire million propellers blowing Grady across Cook Inlet.
The first of many nights during which Grady crawls his feet up the wall all the way to the ceiling and we discover he has only washed his feet, like, 3 times in his life.
A bit of a milestone boiled down into a sleepyish convo with Grady. Eric shares a highly exclusive family recipe.
Sawyer babbles incoherently about his breakfast order for “good morning.” Grady is super specific with his five egg yolks. I try to push cold OJ but Grady shoots it down. Most importantly, Sawyer discovers he’s on a podcast. Episode ends abruptly. Just like my parenting wins.
