Both Rose and Chef love the fall season, also an Absarokee and Fishtail favorite. We dive into the season with the first in a month's worth of spooky themed content- our first ever Spookisode.

We start with a check in with Chef before a trip to NYC to film an episode of international TV. He's . . . . stoked. And weird. Usual Chef.

Then we dive into our GhostEd stories. Rose intros Dyatlov Pass: the basics. We hint at our theories. We'll revisit in a couple of weeks and tell each other our specific theories.

We switch gears with an attempt to answer a few classics for film buffs like Rose and Chef:
"Which horror movie is actually, really for reals scary?"
"Best horror movies?"
"Worst horror movies?"
Rose is on fire. Chef can really just hang on and agree. Kid's got taste.

With YellowstonEd we look at a couple possible origin stories for Rose's horror prediliction. What did Chef and Smokey do wrong to create a modern day Wednesday?

In maybe the only really scary story of the day, Social Studies takes us back into public school, this time to a Billings Middle School year of our lord 2024, for a legit scary story about things going on in public schools these days.

A quick Joker segment highlights dumb jokes and how they are legit important, no joke.

Chef rounds out the GhostEd part one stories with the Yuba 5. Between Yuba and Dyatlov we got some perfect Montana ghost story material: mountains and mysteries.

The quickest Tip Out ever rounds out a quick, tight, brisk fall walk of an ep.
See you soon for Spookisode 2!

And 5 and 6 and 7 and 8: cue our biggest ep ever, and our most drama filled!

In a 5 themed SOS, Chef dishes on the 5 "Mother" sauces, and the "5" things we can actually taste.

Rose blows all of our minds by A) Taking charge of a Koan Koan Git segment, and B) Absolutely bringing the fire with a really cool modern Koan. A perfect Koan for Rose's first: super modern, something Chef never would have thought of, and a crazy cool different pathway to get to Koan meditation. Well done. Git it?

In the most fundmental, dramatic, intense ReviewEd ever, Chef and Rose both lay out their top 5 movies of all time. Don't @ us; to quote Podcast Legends WHM: "It's okay to like a movie." We're quite sure you won't agree with our pics, especially Chef's.

We go back for more of the Hawk Tuah girl. Try not to make a joke about going in again. Don't worry, it's just an update. Ugh. 2024.

For our main Oui Oui Chef get surprisingly interested and in and passionate aboute Rose's Oui Oui: the Becky Effect and Lesbian Tik Tock Drama. Ugh. Sedona. Rose takes us through the whole DRAMA, and we issue a couple Certified AfterschoolEd Shipments.

A quick Now Geo segment takes us to NYC, where Chef is going this week. YellowstonEd is an update on the black week in Stillwater County. It's been a brutal two years in County 32 here, and this was maybe the brutalist week of 'em all.

Chef's Tip Out: a chess tip. Rose gets us cool again with a song pic.

Tonight's Podcast goes where the MSM won't, and it might shock you!

First, we tackle an age old dad joke: Is Chef Trending? The answer might just surprise you.

Then, results of an internal safety audit at a Montana restaurant that might change everything you know about security, safety, and Jo Jo Siwa. Tune in to find out: Do YOU need to be AFRAID!?

We check in with two local Montanans debating the issues in a political Smash or Pass. It'll have you wondering, who would YOU smash or pass?

Next, as climate change heats up all around us, we follow around one local bar owner as he struggles to keep his bar safe in a changing world. What we uncover about his management, and about the future of your local bar, will stun and bewilder you. You. Must. Tune. In.

We check in on a rural debate, where a Chef seems completely unprepared to deal with some simple questions. It'll have you wondering, who's in charge of YOUR life? Audio at 11.

The heat in the press room is nothing compared to the debate stage as Harris tussled with Trump; we follow two locals as they watch on. You won't believe who they are, and when you hear why they watched the debates, you might literally collapse and die because it's so damn shocking.

ARE YOU EATING HUMAN FLESH!?!?!?!?! You have got to sequester all your freinds, family, acquaintances, youth summer camp counselors who may have vaguely impacted your life and more, for this incredible look at food systems in a refugee camp. Tune it at 11.

Is a Flesh Eating Bacteria Consuming YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR ENTIRE TOWN!?!?! Hell yes it is! How to stop it and survive this certain impending death that you are definitely facing?
Tune in at 11, Jack Chick has all the answers to that, plus some great tips for what's promising to be a lovely weekend.

Don't look now- we're stringing together serious and seroiusly helpful episodes, I mean, Chef still goes off the rails several times, but we still actually get around to serious homeschooling again.

It starts with a crazy chain of events: Biden drops out, so Rose tuned in (to the DNC). She rates her top five speeches from this year's Democratic National Convention.

We learn about Captain Gilligan and suuuper low level corporate fraud in an 86ed segue segment about poorly handled packages. You gotta handle those packages carefully. . . That's what she said.

Doubling down on ReviewEd, we dive into our favorite olympics moments. Rose talks about women straight killin' it from Simone to cycling to the boxing ring. Chef talks Paris, Argentina v France, Snark v Seine.

In a Tinkle segue we dive into the disgusting cosplay world of MTG with a Chef-curated slideshow of her lowlights, from cosplay hunting and dangerous firearm handling to fake cooking and terrible kitchens.

And we finish out with a Social Studies segment that is a perfect example of why we need a new homeschool segment, becuase this one's not at all about socialization myths. We're diving back into helpful, pragmatic, concrete advice about senior year homeschool milestones.

And in the end, we both completely forget about the Tip Out. We had ones planned, but we got so excited to be done at a reasonable hour for once that we pat ourselves on the back, drop the mics, and just left. Nobody ever said we weren't forgetful. At least not that we can recall.

Wait a second. . . did we make an actually helpful episode!?! This, and for once we don't say it jokingly, really is a homeschool podcast.

We dive into a recap of Rose's time in Italy, and we talk about the importance of club and sport activities to homeschoolers, and how it could actually be a superpower and not a weakness.
After a trip into the magic of the number 7, we get straight up helpful again: we do a rundown of what to get into your senior year of homeschool for testing, including deets like GED vs HiSet, and PSAT's: take or don't take?

Things get wild with a ride on the couch with JD Vance in a mini Oui Oui.

Then we're mixing ReviewEd and ScratchEd with a recap of some good cancer / grief movies and books. We're talking Eat Pray Love, From Scratch, & Crying in the HMart.

Rose kills Chef in a trash talking segment that Chef probably still doesn't even understand.

And we finish with a lesson that was definitely not worth the wait. For weeks Chef has avoided learning about the Hawk Tuah girl. He finally learns about the little slice of '24 that is the Hawk Tuah girl. He reacts . . . . probably like you're thiniking he would .

Our Tipout has two of our faves, well three of our faves: Bruno (Mars), Lady (Gaga), and Messermeister (Knives).

A crazy, weird, wild ep. Kind of our last "rough draft" or pre-recorded one. We did this a few weeks ago, and we had to fight for it- it was super late at night, with Rose leaving for Italy the next day, and Chef coming off one of his worst days ever.
Between Chef's angry rants about split checks and our meandering tangents about Marfa and malls and everything in between, we had to edit this an insane amount. Chef's anguished screams took up about twenty minutes alone.
So: we sliced, we diced, and we came up with a wild ping pong game of an ep. Chef shares his leg shaving routine. Rose preps to leave for Italy. We beg you not to split checks.
Chef vents on one of his three worst days ever; Rose vents on some balls out certifiably nuts behavior in the bar.

From now on, we've got our publishing routine down. Eps should come out within days of recording. Ep 7 is in the can from last night. Rose is back. Great ep.
Thanks to India, Myanmar, Montana, and all the other places listening. Y'all rock.

Our Forgotten Episode! Recorded after a long day dealing with cancer, we literally forgot we got this one in the can. Some days are like that- just trying to stay afloat, & it's exactly those days that laughter is the most imporant.
So, around midnight at the bar, we laughed, mostly about what not to do in life.

Youthphoria teaches us how not to color, and how not to brand. We then review the lessons from Cat on a Flagpole.

ReviewEd has us get back into Who Cooked the Last Supper, and it's literally the Penis and Vagina chapters; Chef goes off the rails, as could have been expected, thereby proving the book right.
Only one way to follow the P & V chapters: a baby. We learn about the Four Seasons Baby.

We peek behind the curtain of running a bar as Chef convenes an 86Ed to talk about creepy cameras and bar security.
Then we talk about a couple that was not concerned about how creepy they were, and they really really should have been.

In our Tip Out we make Lemon8 out of lemons.

Ep 5 here was a pleasant surprise. Ep 6 is a wild one, highly edited to remove Chef's madness.
RECIPE NOTE:
This ep was all glitchy. For a while it was only 3 minutes long. As of Aug 27th, it should be fixed.

Thanks for all your support. Merci! Xie xie.

For our biggest ever show, we start at the Met Gala, breaking down the best looks from this year's show. Sticking with pop culture- with Chef dropping some historical background and English lit cred- we take on the big rap battle of the summer: Kendrick v Drake.
In between we do a Name It segment, and another Smash or Pass.

The third segment has us taking on the heart of a very important quesiton: What is the most important thing I can do to encourage good college results from my kid(s)? It's way way way easier than you might think and the data overwhelmingly points in one direction: read to them. It's easy to be tempted by new apps, new tech etc, but that one constant remains: read, read, read.

A segue segment so special it gets its own music drop, Chef's fave: Koan Koan Git, where we talk about a koan, marvel at it, and sometimes we even learn from it. This week, talking about one of Chef's favorite Koans: Cat on a Flagpole.

Finally, we break our own rules and add a fourth segment, making this ep ridiculously long. It's our first ScratchEd segment, wehre we talk about our journey with cancer. First up: we're talking about ecstasy therapy, increasingly used in end of life situations.

Finish with a quick Tip Out, and we're out. We'll see you who knows when for Ep 5. It's an editors nightmare. Chef is completely deranged.
Ep 6 is the first ep we'll record and release right away. We're shooting for Back to School season in mid to late August.
