Instead of us coming up with the questions, we took a few from a recent New York Times article, inspired by Story Corps, and asked each other three questions designed to get to know each other.

It’s been a bit of a challenging week … from travel with Kennedy, to two sick “kids”, an assault, and a murdered family of squirrels. Yes, you read that right.

Netflix & chill. It’s a new phenomenon in our culture these days and as cord-cutters, it’s our way of consuming all the new (and old) television programming. We talk about our recent favorites including some oldies like, The West Wing, WAG, Catch-22, Bloodline, The Crown, Homecoming, and The Assassination of Gianni Versace.

This last week, Steve made dinner and all hell broke loose when he poured the wrong noodles into the water. It reminded us both how many mistakes we’ve made and doubly reminded us how we try to approach those same mistakes … by taking the damn lemons and squirting the lemon juice into someone’s eyes because that is way more fun than lemonade. Through all the mistakes, Steve ends with a touching story of love and its unpredictability.

Steve is back to work full-time while Richard is still a stay-at-home dad (for one more week) and Steve is learning how to balance work and being a dad; hence the title, “Overworked.” We also introduce a new segment, “Fuck of the Week”, where we each cover something crazy from the past week … and this episode includes bad drivers, whiskey, and music.
