Deer Feet

What's a strumpet? Not a musical instrument! If you didn't know that then you probably know even less about music than your favorite sisters.  Well have no fear, you've come to the right episode.  This week this sisters talk about some of their favorite genres, artists and songs.  Taylor Swift gets mentioned...a lot.  After the break you can play along with some fun games right from the comfort of your own home. Keep track of your score and send an email for a shout out! 

This week we are revisiting one of our favorite topics- online dating. Jess is back on Tinder and having the same kind of luck Jess always seems to have.  Hear her recount some of her recent misadventures with new characters like Shy Guy, Nerd Alert, and Sporty Spice. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll thank the lord you aren’t single anymore! We also review newly released Booksmart and read some listener mail.

On my honor, I will try...to convince you that Girl Scouts is an awesome organization!  Hear us talk about all of the amazing experiences we've had as scouts and as leaders.  We're talking cookies, trips, camping, songs and, of course, horses.  We're also busting some "common" misconceptions about the entire organization.

This week the sisters are talking all things love.  Special guest star, Tim, joins the sisters to reflect on almost a whole year of wedded bliss.  We give our take on what makes a marriage work and what happens when it doesn't.  As children of divorce and a participant in one, we offer several perspectives on what happens when a marriage breaks down.  Listen in and send us an email with some of your best marriage advice!

This week we're talking about all things spooky.  We discuss our own experiences with the supernatural and  some of its representation in our favorite movies, TV shows and books. Listen as we tell ghost stories, debate the existence of the devil and demons and delve into world of magic and malevolent beans. 

This week things get a little heavy on Deer Feet.  As the anniversaries of our grandfather's and father's deaths approach, we take time to reflect on our experiences with care giving and loss.  We cover some issues that are hard to talk about, such as dealing with dementia, managing stress as a care giver and struggling through anticipatory grief.  There is some link with last week's episode as we discuss how toxic people can complicate an already stressful and overwhelming situation.  The big takeaway is that grief is complicated and personal, and providing care for a terminal patient is one of the hardest things you can undertake.  If you are serving as a care giver, know that you are strong and that there are resources available if you need help.

I'm on a ride... you're toxic. I'm slippin' into a deep depression and state of anxiety as I try to contemplate why you do what you do to me and how I might be able to extricate myself from this troubling situation. If you've ever sang these words to  yourself, then you may have dealt with toxic relationships in your life. What does it mean to be toxic? How can toxicity affect us? The sisters cover these topics and more in this episode, and they only get interrupted by dogs and telephones like two times!

Things that go bump in the night...stories to tell around a campfire... Today we're talking Fear. What scares us? It could be a movie, a mythical creature, or our own mortality. Next time you feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up, just remember, there's nothing to be afraid of... unless there is....

ALERT: This episode contains spoilers!!!! This week, we delve into the universe of Game of Thrones. We compare the HBO series to the book series, talk about our favorite (and least favorite) characters, play a guessing game, make predictions and more! 

This week we are talking all things vacay!

This week the sisters are talking all things book club.  Join us as we discuss some of our favorite books, authors and genres. We also delve into the dynamic of book clubs and some reading fox paws (faux pas?). We cover our feelings on movie adaptations of some classic tales.  Read the book first or see the movie first? We disagree on what's best.  You can listen in as Renee discusses her (sometimes unpopular) opinion on spoilers.  As for what's popping at the movies we review two films in theaters now: Wonder Park and 5 Feet Apart.

We hope you enjoy!

In today's episode we talk with DeerFoot sister and reformed catfish, Jess.  Have you ever wondered what motivates a catfish to do what they do? How do they decide who to lure in? Don't they know they'll eventually get caught? We explore these questions and more in an intimate interview.  Later in the episode we discuss more innocent examples of catfishing, including the accidental catfish.  We wrap up with a few movie reviews for Sierra Burgess is a Loser and Greta.  We only get interrupted by a barking dog like one time in the whole hour! We hope you enjoy and stay tuned for next week's episode with special guest star, Momily!
