Jeff and Rachel In The Morning

From witnessing childbirth to the surprising things we’ve officially sworn off, this weeks episode covered a lot of ground. Also, have we’ve reached our “quit things” age? Plus, a chat about how cannabis has gone from taboo to totally mainstream.

This weekend we slow things down — talking about the comeback of CD, vinyl, and even cassettes as more people look to unplug and enjoy music the old‑school way. Then we jump into baby name trends, and things have taken a turn. While Liam and Olivia still top the charts, names like Maverick, Genesis, and Nova are climbing past traditional picks like Thomas, Sophie, and Grace. Meanwhile, newer names like Truce and Icelynn are surging as parents lean toward names that feel more unique and meaningful. We also look at which classic names are fading out — and why naming trends are shifting so quickly right now.

Frozen grapes that missed the mark, pretzels making a surprise appearance, and a few questionable snack choices along the way. We also swap medical procedure stories because apparently that’s where the conversation naturally went. Then we’re joined by Chris Costello, chair of the Big Bash - Ozdust Ball, in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area. He shares what’s planned for this year’s event happening May 29 at The Hunt Club and why it’s a night that makes a real difference in the community. Fun, weird, meaningful. Pretty standard episode.

This episode goes completely off the rails. Jeff trusted his daughters to buy him a new cologne, and it backfired in a way nobody saw coming. Is it secretly awful? Are they pranking him? Or is Jeff nose‑blind and walking around offending the entire city? Meanwhile, KP goes full vigilante for the average shopper, diving deep into what happened to customer service. Why does no one care anymore? Who broke retail? And can KP fix it before he gets kicked out of another store? One man smells bad.One man fights for justice.Customer service is on trial. Watch/listen until the end — it somehow gets worse.

It's 2026 and people are STILL not wearing seatbelts? Easter weekend numbers are in. While all that's happening KP's Dad is out here holding on to a World Record! The convo on leaving kids concerts gets brought back up again. Give it a listen, it will all make sense.

We cover a little bit of everything in this one. From Artemis II and what astronauts actually experience during launch, to whether there’s any sense of humor inside NASA, the conversation takes a few turns. We also get into risk vs. career choices, Benny’s still-undefeated trivia run in 2026, Ben’s new swimming routine, KP searching for a passion, and the unexpected joy of horror movies

We kicked things off asking if animals secretly judge each other… or just eat each other, then somehow ended up on dolphins, “Mexican camels,” and Kelly (KP) feeding anything that moves. Jeff nearly has a pro-level meat moment, but it takes a weird turn into a burnt cream pie debate. It’s random, it’s chaotic, and it makes way more sense than it should. New episode live — come hang with us.

We covered everything from weird breakfast choices to regrettable tattoos, Rockstar Doctors and somehow ended up debating nicknames, “The Wife,” and letting your kids win at games.It’s messy, it’s honest, it’s very Group Chat.
