Dave is not only a father, comedian, comedy producer and artist but he's also an interesting cat.  We open the show going wayyyyy back to 2018 for Dave's pic featuring his adorable daughter and how he gets her to study for spelling tests.  That leads to a conversation about jobs for kids and how to teach them work ethic.  Juliet brings up an interesting debate about what is better for kids: saving up for things or having mom and dad give you things.  The conversation takes a major left turn as we talk about first cars and if anyone has ever driven off with a gas nozzle still attached to their car before.  One of us has...wanna take any guesses on who?  We end our pod with a new bit we named Bullshit Family Lore.  So grab your favorite whiskey and join us for our last episode of Season 1 of COW.
Thank you to Nawds and her donation of Bullet 95 Rye.  We enjoyed it very much!

Have you ever considered turning your passion into a career?  This COW podcast will give you the kick in the ass you need if you are struggling with that very question.   Amber, who our cohost Juliet met while volunteering, has turned her passion of animals and the Earth into a career.  Whether it is free diving with humpback whales to quitting her job and selling all her possessions to move to Africa for a year to volunteer, Amber has created experiences that led up to her writing a documentary called Ocean Souls.  She didn't sit around and wait for this shit to happen.  Amber worked hard to create opportunities for herself.  Listen to find out how Amber did it on COW.  Then go watch Ocean Souls for inspiration.  We hope this pod will help motivate you to live your passion...with a little comedy sprinkled in from our COW hosts Karla, Nick and Juliet.

The year is 1997 and our guest is Kathryn (a.k.a. Kat), a comedian, metal worker and jack of all trades.  We open the pod with a traumatic experience Kat had when she discovered a camera in her mom's closet and well...we'll let Kat fill you in on the rest.  Next Kat shares how she discovered her love of foundry and her start as a comedian.   If it weren't for art and her mom, Kat shares how her life could have gone down a very different road.  Kat had her fill of horrible jobs after graduation which reminds Juliet of a horrible job she also had.  If that isn't enough for you, Karla and Kat share similar stories of growing up thinking they were black.  Sound crazy?  Wait until you hear why.  So sit back and relax with a glass of your favorite whiskey and listen to another episode of COW.   

On this episode of COW, we meet Bill, another co worker, friend and all around interesting guy who has brought us our oldest pic to date.  The year is 1952 and while Bill wasn't even born yet, his grandfather was.  We learn all about Bill's granddad who was briefly in the military but that short enrollment paid off in spades.  Who had a shitty grandparent?  We did!  We also talk about great ways to die, coffins and volunteering.  It really is amazing how we can seamlessly go from one topic to the next but then again, we are drinking some mighty fine whiskey.  Find the pic on Insta and Facebook by searching Conversations Over Whiskey.  Intro and ending music by Audiobinger.

Grab your favorite glass of whiskey (it better be after 5 pm) and join us for another episode of COW with Justine.  Justine is the sweetest girl in the world and is also our coworker.  She and her sister/partner in crime share her picture taken in 2017 of food.  But the story behind the food and where it was taken leads us down some tangents of waitresses and how to handle bad food brought to the table, eating food that should be bad and Juliet's theory of adults who LOVE Bleepyland.  Why are we calling it Bleepyland?  Listen to find out.  So pour your glass, sit down and relax while we drink our Four Roses Whiskey for another episode of COW.

COW welcomes Nadia, aka Nawds, who is our friend and coworker.  She shares her pic and tells us how she fell in love with hiking and the outdoors.  Nadia regales us with a story of how girls taking off their tops while hiking is NOT cool and Juliet chimes in with a story naked of her own.  We discuss how we pick up hobbies and passions based on others exposing us to relatively simple things we never experienced when we were growing up.  Then we somehow segway to Juliet's story of getting beat up by a girl which proves she's a super whussie.  So grab your glass of whiskey and join us while we drink ours on Conversations Over Whiskey.  See Nawds picture on Instagram or Facebook by searching Conversations Over Whiskey.

Sam opens up COW by telling us the story about the first time he ever got drunk and then we get to his picture from 2006.   Sam was enlisted in the Navy when he is approached to be an extra in a Star Trek spin off.  What does he do when he finds out they really need a non speaking extra?  Take a listen to the whole COW pod which is our favorite episode to date.  Sam is funny and a great storyteller to boot.  Find Sam's picture on Instagram and Facebook by searching for Conversations Over Whiskey.  

Chris, Juliet's husband, shares the first picture on COW with no people in it.  Taken in 1993, Chris talks about how college degrees are mostly worthless, being homeless and how unprepared we are when we graduate from college.  He shares his MANY struggles with jobs and how there is career success if you persevere....all while drinking some pretty darned good whiskey.
