Death, Taxes, and Laundry

Have you ever had that feeling? That something is behind you, among you, before you? So have we, Backseaters. And it’s name is Laundry. Has there ever been a more clear signature of adulthood than the everlasting pile of cloth, silk, whites, and darks? Of course not. This week, Mel and Dustin surpass the pile celebrating eggs on food, the differences in oranges, Mel’s viral fashion choices, why kids hate chicken spaghetti, and more! Enjoy the show!

Why Would Anyone Grow Up?

Backseaters, enjoy doing nothing back there but listening, while the adults up here manage the key fob location, keep our eyes on the road, 10 and 2, and keep the wheels on the road. Needless to say Dustin would rather be coasting through his late 30’s but alas, adulting calls. Regardless of what we say we’ll discuss, we do actually discuss Dustin’s weekend throwing his first itch at the Mariners game, attending funerals, Mel reorganizing the house, the woes of adulthood, and why there is nothing wrong with having ADHD.
