Royally Unhinged THE Podcast

You Had Us At Chuckwagon Supper (S3E6)

Once upon a time in 1969…in a little place called Durango, Colorado, there was an entrepreneur that seriously understood the assignment and started: Bar D Chuckwagon. Tarah and her family were on vacation recently and what she thought was just going to be dinner turned into a full-on experience, chuckwagon supper, live music, kids activities, great customer service, and even a performer with an American Idol connection. It was fun, memorable, family-friendly, and one of those places that gives people way more than they expected. We get into what made Bar D Chuckwagon stand out, why the overall experience mattered so much, and how businesses that pay attention to the little things are usually the ones people remember. Also, how did Tarah even find out about this place?? If you’re looking for things to do in Durango, CO, curious about Bar D Chuckwagon, or just love seeing a business absolutely nail the customer experience, this one’s for you. Basically… they had us at chuckwagon supper.

Your Ink is Showing (S3E5)

We’re talking tattoos!! Tattoos in the workplace, visible tattoos at work, and why body art still gets treated like a controversy in some industries. With Tarah heading in for a tattoo, the conversation quickly turned into a bigger discussion about professionalism, hiring bias, company image, and whether employers should care if someone has visible ink. Let’s get into questions like: should tattoos be covered at work, are tattoos acceptable in professional settings, can a business decide someone’s look does not fit the brand, and where is the line between workplace standards and outdated judgment? We are going all in on workplace discrimination, personal expression, company culture, and why being qualified, capable, and great at your job should probably matter more than whether someone has ink showing.

Clickbait Made Me Do It (S3E4)

It’s the social media disease… known as posting things that absolutely did not need to be posted. It all started with that insurance commercial where a guy’s basement is literally flooding, and instead of just handling the situation, he’s trying to come up with the perfect caption for social media. One of the agents finally says what we were all thinking: “Or you could just not post it.” And honestly? That sent us. From there, we got into clickbait, validation, oversharing, and the very blurry line between what should be content and what really, really should not. We talk about why people feel the need to post everything, how social media rewards chaos, and why some things are better left offline. This episode is part marketing, part internet side-eye, and part public service announcement for the chronically online. Because not everything needs a caption. Not everything needs engagement. And not everything needs to be posted.

You Use TikTok for What?! (S3E3)

You use TikTok for what?!What started as a conversation about how businesses get found online turned into a bigger talk about where people are actually searching these days. Are people still using Google first? Are they jumping to TikTok for places to eat, travel ideas, and things to do? And how much does that change the way businesses need to think about getting found?In this episode, we get into how search habits are shifting, the different ways people discover businesses now, and why you really can’t assume everyone is looking in the same place anymore.From Google and reviews to social media and TikTok search, this one is all about visibility, discoverability, and how customers are actually finding businesses today.Also… we finally disagreed. And honestly, it was kind of overdue. 😉
