Snow, Fights & Hibachi – A Classic Mismatched Week

Welcome back to the chaos! It’s the first week of April in Northeast Ohio and yes… there’s snow. We’re talking sudden weather swings (50° to 41° in minutes), winter coats by morning, baseball caps by noon, and then back to parkas by dinnertime.
 
Speaking of dinner—how about hibachi in 32 degrees? That’s right, Tom fired up the Blackstone in the garage because the teriyaki chicken was already marinated and we weren’t about to cancel dinner. Bill’s helping (sort of), and let’s just say Tom might be in the doghouse. Again.
 
This episode, we cover:
•Ohio’s wild April weather
•Why podcasting on Mondays just works
•Cooking hibachi in extreme conditions
•Relationship fights: healthy or heated?
•Letting kids see respectful conflict resolution
•White Lotus season finale thoughts (spoiler: it’s scandalous)
•And yes… a questionable show the teenagers watched (oops)
 
It’s messy, it’s mismatched, and it’s always real. Thanks for tuning in!

Getting Stoned and Binges

Getting Stoned and Binges
 
This week’s podcast recap is all about Danna’s streaming obsessions, financial musings, and the eternal struggle of paying bills.
 
Streaming Wars & Late-Night Binges:
•Remember when we tried to save money by cutting cable? Now we have every streaming service imaginable.
•The White Lotus is back, this time in Thailand! It started slow, but now it’s a total train wreck (in the best way).
•Kristin doesn’t watch it, and no, you can’t have her Hulu login because she doesn’t have it.
•Paradise (or whatever that Secret Service show is called) is our latest must-watch.
•We’re also watching Running Point on Netflix—an easy, feel-good choice.
•The struggle is real: “Just one more episode” has us staying up way too late.
 
Spring Break Recap:
•Danna went to Kalahari and is officially over it.
•She even filled out a survey and got a free upgrade offer—any takers?
•Lots of rodeo weekends, a fun restaurant visit, and some serious spring cleaning.
 
Life, Bills & Adulting:
•Paying bills is the worst, but at least they’re paid.
•Do people even use savings accounts anymore? 
•Transferring money should be easier, and some banks need to get it together.
•Tom’s financial advice? Invest in stocks, not gold.
•Diamond rings? Not a great investment. Gravel for the farm? Surprisingly expensive.
 
Random Fun:
•Did you know friends who roast each other are 300% more loyal? That explains a lot.
•Danna loves her wedding ring but would rather spend money on travel than an upgrade or both would be even better.
•Oh, and Kristin’s husband volunteered her to fix a board meeting dinner—menu TBD.
 
So there you have it: TV, travel, finances, and gravel—just another week in our chaotic, wonderful lives.

Meanwhile, Kristin finds humor in the chaos, offering just the right amount of comic relief.
The episode also features a birthday party where a mermaid and  bull-riding toddlers stole the show, a Miami trip mix-up (Ohio vs. Florida—big difference), and a sweet reminder of how much little kids look up to their teenage role models.
From parenting fails to unexpected life lessons, this episode is full of laughs, heart, and just a little bit of panic. Don’t miss it!

Rod the Bod

In this fun and lively episode, the hosts welcome a very special guest—Danna’s mother-in-law, Maria, who just returned from a week in Las Vegas. But this wasn’t just any trip—Maria is a devoted Rod Stewart superfan and shares incredible stories about her experiences attending his concerts, including front-row seats, meeting fellow fans from around the world, and even being invited on stage multiple times.
Maria takes us back in time, recounting an unforgettable night as a teenager when she and a friend snuck into Rod Stewart’s hotel room after a concert. She details how they tracked him down, found the right floor, and were surprisingly welcomed into a party with the entire band. She also shares fun insights about Rod’s music, his signature hairstyle, and his deep love for Celtic football.
Beyond the Rod Stewart obsession, the conversation turns to family traditions, cooking, and holiday preparations. Maria reflects on her Italian heritage, her love for making homemade wedding soup and pasta sauce, and how she passed down these culinary skills to Danna. The episode wraps up with a recap of their St. Patrick’s Day celebration, featuring traditional corned beef, Irish cheese, and a Bailey’s Irish cheesecake (which may have needed a little more chill time).
This episode is packed with nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt family moments—plus, a whole lot of Rod Stewart love!

Mismatched Madness: Dogs, Chickens & McDonald’s Economics

This week on Mismatched with Danna and Kristin, chaos reigns as the duo navigates a house full of misbehaving animals, sandwich-stealing dogs, and some serious McDonald’s meal math. Kristin’s impromptu “black-market rabbit deal” fails to cover breakfast, and Danna contemplates replacing Easter eggs with painted potatoes. Meanwhile, Campbell’s massive Roth Leadership Academy project gets the spotlight, proving that hard work (and a little fundraising magic) can make big things happen.
Throw in Rod Stewart superfans, bourbon bartering, and a classic Midwest debate over the true cost of eggs, and you’ve got another episode of mismatched hilarity. Tune in for the fun, stay for the life lessons—like never leaving sandwiches unattended.

Fowl Talk

This week on Mismatched, it’s Ohio 4-H Week and it’s Fat Tuesday, Kristin made a King Cake, while Danna chats  about Savannah, Georgia.
Kristin’s kids don’t want their parents traveling without them, while Danna insists her kids will have more fun because—let’s be real—she’s the cooler parent. Meanwhile, the boys got into some trouble, and Danna proves she’s the better wife by waiting in a ridiculous line. Kristin also talks fowl—but you’ll have to listen to find out what that’s all about.
Oh, and don’t forget—there’s a pancake breakfast in their small town, sponsored by Kiwanis, and of course, you gotta go to church before!

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!

They also dive into the ultimate hot topics: the Super Bowl halftime show, fashion choices (hello, $1,300 jeans?!), and the hilarious chaos surrounding Taylor Swift just trying to watch her boyfriend play football. Plus, there’s some serious snack talk—because what’s a trip without munchy crunchies?
And don’t miss the dental drama update! Apparently, those floss picks aren’t cutting it, and retainers are at risk of becoming dog treats.
