You Can't Top That!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568326/fan_mail/new] Carol and Stacy welcome listeners to “Start a List,” thank fan Lori Sharp, and discuss feeling discombobulated, exercising, and everyday aches. Their topic, “You Can’t Top That,” explores how celebrations and public behavior have become over the top, sparked by Carol’s lunch with her dad where an extremely animated waitress curtsied, made a hand-heart gesture, and said “okie dokie pokie,” and Stacy’s experience at a loud high school graduation featuring huge banners, screaming, and air horns despite rules. They compare simpler childhood parties to today’s elaborate birthday parties, school invitations drama, gender reveals, kindergarten “graduations,” expensive weddings, and even an extravagant “celebration of life” with a float and spinning casket. They also mention designer “poop purse” bags, share ideas for simpler parties, and ask listeners to share the podcast with 2–5 friends to grow subscribers. https://startalistwithcarolandstacy.buzzsprout.com

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2568326/fan_mail/new] Stacy and Carol open“Start a List” after technical difficulties and chat about feeling overwhelmed by nonstop “adult responsibilities” and how one task sparks many more. They discuss ongoing decluttering projects, a poorly attended neighborhood yard sale, and home-maintenance headaches including roof inspections, potential shingle recalls, and needing a tree cut after repeated fence damage. Carol describes managing repairs for both her own home and her elderly father’s, where mouse and groundhog problems, wet boxes, attic cleanouts, and a leaking roof have cascaded into major work. They share mishaps like oversleeping for a shift, allergies, toilet problems (including finding a dead mouse), septic backups, AC failure during an event, and car repair frustrations, while noting the need for perspective and inviting listeners to share their own stories. https://startalistwithcarolandstacy.buzzsprout.com
