We Found Out MVP Is Afraid Colonel Sanders Could Kick His Butt

The Orderly World of Mrs. NVP

Hosts Nicole and Michael are back with another wide-ranging episode of *Not Just Rainbows and Unicorns*. From painting projects, garage repairs, and home organization to histamine-friendly living, sneaker adventures, and fixing a beloved office chair, they share what's been happening in their world lately. They also discuss products they've been testing, tips for dealing with smelly ice and rattling fans, saving pollinators, unusual immigration interview questions for married couples, and their experience with a new robot vacuum. No guests this week—just Nicole and Michael catching up on life, homeownership, and the little challenges that keep things interesting.

Reduce. Reuse. Relocate Your Recycling Off Our Front Yard

This week we talk late-night storms, garage gutting, failing windows, renter-friendly upgrades, and whether the Pacific Ocean is gearing up for the strongest El Niño in modern history. Plus: quick low-effort meal prep ideas, Ring camera deals, and way too many streaming recommendations from Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, HBO, and beyond.

We Found Out MVP Is Afraid Colonel Sanders Could Kick His Butt

In this episode, we bounce between everyday life and the downright bizarre—reviewing smart home gear, pet products, and a new mobile groomer, while diving into a surreal news story about a FEMA official allegedly teleporting. We also tackle topics from dog treats and food mascots to voter registration in Michigan, wrapping it all together with humor, skepticism, and plenty of offbeat commentary.

Wider Rain Gutters Are Life Changing

This episode explores the risks and controversies around GPS dog fences and e-collars, along with the mixed reception of the Big 12’s high-tech LED basketball court. It also touches on LEGO nostalgia, the importance of heartworm prevention in dogs, and wraps up with a quick look at smart home lighting upgrades.

The Government Stole an Hour of Our Time and Didn’t Even Say Thank You

This week Nicole and Michael revisit one of the most confusing traditions on the calendar: Daylight Saving Time. Did you know the U.S. already tried permanent DST in 1974? Nixon pushed it through, people hated dark mornings, and Ford reversed it almost immediately. Now places like British Columbia are considering the same idea — which means some cities could see sunrise close to 10 a.m. 😳 Along the way we share some genuinely useful finds (like electric scissors that actually work, a surprisingly good foldable floor mattress, and a clever way to calculate tips on your Apple Watch). We also talk humidifier drama, dog deodorizing sprays that save your furniture, and a few smart-home gadgets from Govee that make daily life a little nicer. Finally, we wrap up with what we’ve been watching lately — from Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Doc Martin to the brutal ultramarathon documentary The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young. Michael revisits Batman: The Animated Series while Nicole dives into classic TV like The Dick Van Dyke Show and Donna Reed. It’s a little science, a little tech, and a lot of everyday discoveries that make life easier.
