You Are That

Who's Cane Fonda? What's it like to have the world try to kick your ass to an extreme humbling level. Our guest today is a bad bitch with mama bear vibes and major will to thrive in the face of the impossible. Mandy is a powerhouse that stays sarcastic and humble. We are all in a place where we can look back with admiration while she looks back in awe and new strength. Raw honest storytelling is one of the reasons Shannon and Mandy became friends in the first place so it seems only fitting to hear the GBS journey on this show. The heaviness of this very rare and widely unknown syndrome is balanced with humor here. And, in normal YAT episode fashion we talk nostalgia and youth fun. A wild ride to say the least. Welcome to what it's like to be our friend IRL.Mandy Morrison is mostly private on the interwebs nowadays but please comment any love and praise on her episode post, she will appreciate all of it.If you want to find out more information about Guillain Barre Syndrome there are many resources including THIS and hopefully Mandy's book in the near future too.

Three whole years ago this podcast was only a twinkle in our eyes and an introduction episode in the drive. Our audio has gotten better and perhaps we’ve gotten wiser? With every guest we learn something so I think that tracks. A nice sister episode where we pump each other up about the accomplishments happening quite literally as we speak. A bit of a New Years resolution touch base too.We hear those of you that have asked for a bit more about us and we are truly trying to sit in the interview seat from time to time. It’s fun to share the lives we live outside of hosting this super fun show for y’all. Thanks for thinking we are worth listening to for the last three years! And cheers to many more!This time it’s us!! You can find our handles on Instagram at:@bonidutch and @urbanfarmfoods Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another trip down memory lane? You betcha!! Have you ever been to a super mega ultra amazing pool party? What about an epic costume party? OK, do you just simple love to party? Then you will like this episode a bunch. Bon takes us on a journey with Kris and band life of yesteryear. With celebrity karaoke and music from so many incredible humans that it's almost impossible to name a favorite. But if you do have a favorite band there is a solid chance Kris has touched production on one or more of their albums. That's just a numbers thing because the talent that graces this mans wall of recognition is absolutely epic. He is an actual music genius and we get to hear about how and why. We also break down serious topics like Edward 40 hands and what it's like to smoke indoors. Squeeze into those skinny jeans but make sure you pee first because there are many sudden laugh attacks coming at you fast. Basically if you are someone who is into garage sales, super bands and you get really dead serious about halloween, you can rock with us.You can find everything Kris does from the links on his IG @kcrummett including all of his Interlace Audio works and general awesomeness.If you want to sit back in awe of this mans accomplishments you can also check out Kris Crummett because that is fucking impressive.You can find the sisters YAT at the usual spotsInstagramTwitterPatreonYou Are That merch is also available right now!

Once upon a time in Tokyo there was a musical show that was canceled on account of rain. OK, it was a huge typhoon. And allllll themusic players gathered calmly in the city. OK, they came into town bored and hungry and ready to party! And that's where this episode originates. Shannon met our extra ordinary guitar player in the crazy whirlwind of a modeling contract in Japan. The rest is history!

It's not everyday that you get to interview a massively talented touring musician who has a lot of interest in being a really good human. Zach is a Portland loving Alaskan who has a really infectious smile that lights up his whole face and sets the tone for the first part of this two part special. First we get into family love, travel chaos and long term friendships. As a bassist in a band so many people know from the radio and commercials and more, it's so refreshing to know how much he loves pet hamsters and cherry squares. There is so much more than music to this brother from another mother ( Hi Judy!). We all trip down music poster memory lane and hear awesome band mom stories galore. Plus Zach gives a very excellent tip for getteing the most out of a one day trip to a new place.The second part to this heavy hitter is a big honor for us. We are following the lead from our friends at the PTM foundation and asking April Holder to talk with us about topics that are often ignored because of the seriousness of cultural divide. April is an incredibly talented artist who has a snarky wit and sharp edge to her personality. We had the best time talking before this sit down and we had many hugs and laughs afterward too. But for this segment we are getting into the hard stuff so buckle up. Boni and Shannon ask several questions while listening to April and they know it may sound ignorant or off putting. In our opinion not asking is worse than asking the wrong things and learning how to be better. As we are in the week of Thanksgiving let's look at what we are mindful of and treat this "holiday" in a way that is respectful and inclusive. Being thankful everyday is something April touched on and it resonated.Thankful and grateful for these two beautiful souls and for all of you.Find Zach and April at the following social media spots.You can find Zach and his Portugal.The Man adventures here:@zacharycarothers@portugalthemanYou can find April on Instagram @aeon_fluxus and also on TikTokYou can find out more about the PTM Foundation online at www.ptmfoundation.org and on IG @ptmfoundationYou can find the YAT sisters at the regularly scheduled locations:InstagramTwitterPatreon - New Bonus Episodes and silly cutting room floor episodes coming soon.You Are That Merch!!

This episode is a real circus of sarcasm. Puns and also top notch voice work have never shared such a beautiful hour together until now. You may think you hear new music from Bono but no! It’s Tobin! He’s not just a Jew Who Loves Trees. He is deeply interested in interesting things. The wit and charm of this show was taken to an all time high. The amount of things Boni Google searched was also at an all time high. We discussed the importance of what babies are made of. There was chatter of what a shark would be categorized as a furry. And of course there is plenty of sophisticated tree conversation. Plus we find out if Shannon is growing weed!Please follow along with the absolute handsome humor of Tobin on the following socials:@jewslovetreesTikTokYou can find the YAT sisters at the regularly scheduled locations:InstagramTwitterPatreon - New Bonus Episodes and silly cutting room floor episodes coming soon.You Are That Merch!!

This trio of friends are like family so this episode is humongous! It’s jam packed with laughter and love. Todd and Rachel and Alie, Oh My! Each of our guests has a unique and special tale about their marriage and each of them have more wise words for our soon to be wed host. Boni is working through her lead up to “I do” and all of this feels like really solid therapy as well as advice. It just goes to show how everyone looks back fondly at their day of union and chuckles about at least one thing. Feeling really grateful for great friends with a good sense of humor. We talk about how you just know you've found your person and the beauty of dong things your way. We also talk about skinny dipping!You can find Todd on several of our previous episodes because he’s basically our brother from another mother!

Wedding bells are in the near future for our hostess duo because Boni is tying the knot and Shannon is part of her bridal squad! What better way to gear up emotionally for this special party of parties? Let’s ask some of our betrothed guests how they did the damn thing. On this part of our compilations series we’re talking with Sarah Hunt and Christine Lakin! Two very smart and funny gals with strong wills. While the end goal of being married was similar, these two wedding days couldn’t be much more different. Each turned out exactly right though the planning, location and details are where things get wild.The whole point of showcasing these stories is to share the love and laughter behind the scenes. We love love and we love these humans who are so kind to help Boni feel less nuts while getting this event underway.Remember you can find these two talented past guests on the socials at:@sarahhisfunny@yolakinAnd if you missed either of their earlier episodes please check out the non nuptial themed shows for Sarah and for Christine!You can find the YAT sisters at the regularly scheduled locations:InstagramTwitterPatreon - New Bonus Episodes and silly cutting room floor episodes coming soon.You Are That Merch!!
