Turkey Troubles, Styrofoam Scandals & Baby Fever (Sort Of)

Turkey Troubles, Styrofoam Scandals & Baby Fever (Sort Of)
This week on Mismatched, Danna and Kristin covered everything from Thanksgiving turkey drama to nostalgic fast-food cups. 🦃 Turkey Tips GaloreThe episode kicked off with every turkey-cooking hack you’ll ever need—how long to roast, how to keep it juicy, and what to do if your thermometer breaks mid-bird (because yes, that happens). The girls share the real-life ways to tell your turkey is perfectly done without a fancy gadget.
🥘 Favorite Sides & Family ChaosKristin shared her beloved Thanksgiving sides, while Danna worked in a few classic critiques about her husband—because no holiday meal is complete without that.
☕ The Great Styrofoam DebateThen came the hot take: old McDonald’s Styrofoam cups were elite. Bad for the environment, sure… but nothing kept a drink cold like those white cups. And of course, Kristin confessed she once refused to throw away her Bucky’s Styrofoam cup for far too long. Zero regrets.
👶 Baby Snuggles Danna got to meet the newest member of her family this week, and Kristin went full nostalgic mom-mode—remembering baby days, insisting she loves babies, does not want another baby, but also… she really loves babies.
It’s mismatched, it’s chaotic, it’s honest, and it’s all heart.Give this episode a listen—you’ll laugh, learn how to save a turkey disaster, and maybe crave a McDonald’s Coke in a Styrofoam cup.

Running on Fumes

This week on The Mismatched Podcast, Danna and Kristin prove once again that no topic is too random, too real, or too ridiculous for these two.
We kick things off with Danna’s bold declaration that “doing chores is no big deal — being a farmer is easy.”Kristin, representing every farm mom in America, respectfully disagrees… while laughing through her exhaustion. 
Then we get into Kristin’s latest adventure: driving her “big rig” while running on diesel fumes. Nothing like the thrill of watching the fuel gauge hit zero and praying to the tractor gods you’ll coast into the station. Spoiler: she did make it — but barely.
Meanwhile, back at Casa de Danna? The woman is bored.
We wrap with a surprisingly heartwarming moment — both families had kids donate blood for the very first time. ❤️Big shoutout to the Red Cross, who will absolutely call you, text you, email you, send a carrier pigeon… whatever it takes. Persistent is an understatement.
Another week, another wild mash-up of life, chaos, parenting, and farm stories — exactly what makes our podcast perfectly mismatched.

Helicopter Parenting and Window Peeping

This week on The Mismatched Podcast we dive into tight chests and the health concerns we shouldn’t ignore (hello, WebMD panic). We also admit our weird little addictions and why yelling “FOCUS!” at people isn’t exactly the cure for anything.
We discuss which Patterson kid gave their parents a run for their money 👀Meanwhile, Danna continues to insist she’s not a helicopter parent to Joey… denial is a river, friends.
🚨 PSA: Don’t listen with your kids — we talk about the Magic of Santa. You’ve been warned.
Holiday decorating disasters, mismatched socks, and apparently you can see straight into Kristin’s bedroom window (creeper alert).Oh — and we’re comparing torso lengths, because why not?
Tune in for laughs, parenting confessions, and questionable health advice.

From Food Prize to Cake Surprise

This week, Danna and Kristin are covering everything from birthday chaos and hurricane stories to kids who suddenly pick up a second language like it’s nothing. Kristin also shares her experience at the World Food Prize — where global food security gets very real, very fast.
We also discover that Kristin had never even heard of the iconic Cleveland Cassata cake until she moved here — and Danna is still recovering from the shock.
To top it off, we find out the dating terms we grew up with now apparently belong to another generation. That’s… fun.

Danna Can’t Even…with Kristin

But don’t worry—the episode is here, and it’s packed with the usual mix of laughter, chaos, and farm-fresh storytelling. And just a little sneak peek: at the very end of the podcast Kristin shares a real humdinger of a story that only she could tell. Trust us—you’ll want to stay tuned until the last minute.
Catch up now, enjoy a cider while you listen, and remember… when life gets mismatched, it usually makes the best stories.
