Mismatched

Honks, Hot Tubs, and Birthday Party Blunders

In this episode of Mismatched, Kristin and Danna dive into a mix of hilarious and relatable family chaos. From questionable lighting making them look “slummy” to their husbands’ not-so-subtle critiques, the conversation takes its usual comedic twists and turns.
They discuss the challenges of driving with new teen drivers—especially when one dad decides to give an unsolicited lesson in horn-honking. Meanwhile, a debate about birthday party etiquette arises: should kids open presents at the party or wait until later? The hosts reflect on childhood traditions, sibling gift rivalry, and the ultimate aunt flex—buying the most obnoxious present possible.
Throw in a side discussion about a possibly “broken” hot tub, a toddler’s accidental phone call, and an attempted low-key sponsorship shoutout to a favorite taco spot, and you’ve got another classic episode filled with laughter, family quirks, and plenty of off-topic detours.

Travel Plans, Book Recommendations, and Unexpected Guests

In this episode, Danna and Kristin are back in the studio, catching up after a busy stretch of travel. Kristin is home for a while with no major trips on the horizon, while Danna is itching to get away somewhere warm. They chat about past conferences, including Kristin’s recent cooperative conference experience, where she unexpectedly earned “wife points” for attending a 7 a.m. session.
A highlight of Kristin’s trip was an impromptu audience member—an older gentleman who unknowingly sat in on her podcast recording by the pool. After listening to the entire conversation, he complimented the discussion, proving that you never know who you might meet while traveling.
The conversation then shifts to books, with both Danna and Kristin sharing their recent reads and book-tracking apps like Bookmory and Goodreads. Kristin is on a reading spree, enjoying a mix of light fiction and more intense, “messed-up” books, while Danna proudly celebrates finishing a book of her own. They also talk about sneaky Audible hacks and the best ways to access free audiobooks through library apps like Libby.
Finally, they discuss future travel plans, including the possibility of a family cruise in 2026. With cruise prices making less sense (why is it cheaper to go to Europe than the Caribbean?), they debate different cruise lines, inspired by a Princess Cruises commercial featuring Hannah Waddingham from Ted Lasso.
The episode wraps up with a hilarious look at Danna’s household, where impromptu line dancing sessions seem to be the norm—even if she’s not entirely convinced she enjoys it.
Stay tuned for more travel, book talk, and unexpected adventures next time!

“Lobster Tails, Renovation Fails, and New Year’s Tales”

It’s a brand-new year, and the girls are kicking it off the best way they know how – with food and stories! Kristin and Danna share how they celebrated the New Year, and let’s just say, these two never miss a good meal. Kristin talks about the top-tier cut of meat they enjoyed, while Danna spills the details of her first-ever trip to Red Lobster… in NYC, of all places. And trust us, it’s a story you won’t want to miss.
But the new year isn’t all fun and food – Kristin might already be looking at some bad luck (yikes), and she and Bill got a taste of kid-free life while theirs were off at the 100th Anniversary Ohio Fair Managers Conference. Meanwhile, Danna’s deep into home demo and renovation, and Kristin’s cleaning out Sam’s room now that he’s back at college.
Oh, and did we mention the Bible? There are some good stories in there too. And if you’ve got a writer in your life, stick around – they wrap things up with the perfect gift idea.
Grab your snacks and get comfy – this one’s full of laughs, life, and a little bit of everything in between.

Podcast Recap: Wrapping Up 2024 (or Kicking Off 2025!)

In this latest episode – whether it’s the last one of 2024 or the first of 2025 – Kristin and Danna are back, and things kick off with a little technical hiccup. Kristin accidentally hit the wrong button on the Rodecaster, sparking a fun throwback to their old intro.
The duo dives into New Year vibes, with talk of “No Spend January.” But who’s actually committing to this? Tune in to find out which one of them is taking the challenge seriously (or not). When it comes to resolutions, Kristin opts out completely, while Danna prefers setting loose goals – but since she doesn’t write them down, does it even count?
Holiday recaps are on the agenda too. Kristin shares exciting news – her and the kids’ long-time dream is becoming a reality as they prepare to break ground on a new livestock barn.
And of course, the age-old question arises: Do you regift or give used gifts? Kristin’s all for it – whether it’s regifting, passing along gently used items, or even returning gifts that aren’t quite right.
For laughs, reflections, and a peek into their holiday season, this episode is packed with stories and relatable moments. Grab a cup of coffee and catch up with Kristin and Danna as they roll into the New Year!
