It's birthday season for Brett and Lori, and apparently getting older doesn't mean getting more mature. Lori shares the highlights of her family reunion in Georgia, including a touching birthday gift that left her ugly crying in a restaurant and a practical joke that took 500 puzzle pieces and nearly an hour to deliver its punchline.

Brett has birthday stories of his own, including a surprise party that wasn't for him and a massive Harry Potter LEGO set that's taking over his free time. Along the way, the conversation veers into strange family nicknames, cars that give unsolicited advice, the joy of receiving actual mail, and whether an adult can have too many LEGOs.

It's a little bit of everything, which is pretty much par for the course with these two.

Lori avoided massages for years because she feared an embarrassing bodily noise. Brett’s experiences suggest she had other things to worry about. From massage therapists walking on his back in Rome to an awkward, ZERO-privacy shower in Mexico, relaxation comes with surprises.

Add celebrity impressions, Maine’s ice storm of 1998, jury duty, and a surprisingly passionate disagreement about Dateline’s Keith Morrison. This week's conversation goes exactly where you’d expect: everywhere.

Before her "Dark Downeast" podcast became a global sensation, Kylie Low was touring with One Direction, sporting pink hair, and making Lori laugh on the Q Morning Show. This week, she joins Lori and Brett to revisit the contest that put her on the road with a boy band, the unexpected audition that landed her in radio, and the office romance Lori strongly advised against. (Spoiler: they’re married now.)

This week, Lori and Brett compare travel disasters, from forgotten luggage and missed connections to TSA rules that seem to change every time you fly. Add a suspicious bag of Good & Plenty, a stranger’s bare foot, and a spirited debate about reclining your seat, and it’s a wonder either of them still goes anywhere.

After escaping her first Maine winter as an official snowbird, Lori set off on a six-week road trip across America. Twenty-six states later, she’s back with tales of breathtaking national parks, roadside oddities, alien-themed businesses, blue meth candy, and a car that insisted on coffee breaks.

Lori reveals which national landmark unexpectedly made her cry, why the Grand Canyon reminded her of Fenway Park, and how a private museum tour with a woman named Carol completely changed their itinerary. Brett contributes his expert knowledge of National Treasure, unpaid parking fees, and the geography he learned from Carmen Sandiego. It’s part travelogue, part geography lesson, and part cautionary tale about telling Brett you visited a place called Barizona.

Lori and Brett welcome back Anna the Greek for another round of pet peeves! The trio tackles life’s biggest injustices: paying for someone else’s lobster, drivers without blinkers, stickers that refuse to peel, chatter during movies, and people who won’t stop announcing their Wordle scores.

This week's Expect to Laugh is group therapy for the perpetually peeved.

This week, Brett and Lori welcome Brett’s longtime friend Jeff Farrell, owner of Springvale Village Car Wash where he’s learned way too much about what people do when they think no one’s watching.

We cover car wash disasters, incredibly stupid injuries, how to shave your own back, the world’s most recognizable hold music, vacation anxiety, nude beaches, dads in tighty-whities, and why you should NEVER let Jeff find a competitor’s air freshener in your car.

It’s super inappropriate, and you should definitely expect to laugh!

Lori gets paid to eat her way through Oxford Casino and discovers there actually is a limit to how much food one person can consume before needing to lie down. Brett spends four hours floating down the Saco River and somehow manages to cook only the tops of his feet.

But the real bombshell? Lori freezes her garbage! Not leftovers. Not meal prep. Garbage. Brett has questions. We all have questions.

Plus, Maine kids are about to experience the unimaginable horror of going to school without their phones, sending Lori and Brett down memory lane to a simpler time of pagers, pay phones, collect calls and just standing around waiting for your mother to eventually remember you exist.

We really covered some ground this week!
