In retrospect, there may be a number of different choices we could have taken to make our lives better. And becoming a Disney Adult should have been on that list. While Dustin’s Seattle sports teams continue to send him on perilous emotional rollercoasters, we also break down the nightmare of public school schedules, the difference between a mall and shopping center, 2 pounds of salmon, how raising teens is the equivalent to being sent into war, and raising young kids.  What’s the difference between a mall and a shopping center? - Tell us at Dustin Nickerson Comedy Fans Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/dustinnickersoncomedy Enjoy the show!

It may not be a Sunday, but today Mel takes us to church backseaters. Bring and ring the handbells, because perhaps for the first time on the podcast, Dustin learns something totally new about Melissa.

Remember when we were young and the Olympics were the gauntlet for super-star athletes and childhood heroes?  Not even realizing the peril of adulthood that would follow medal-less olympians, unaware of the international pay gap, and cardboard beds. Backseaters, our eyes have been opened and we can’t look away. Amidst these concerns, we also consider Target’s customer service decline, back-to-school shopping with your teens, a request for bad advise for reducing stress as a millennial parent, and a warm welcome to our new listeners that have joined us from Nateland’s world. We look forward to hearing more from you in the reviews, emails, and Facebook group. Enjoy the show!
