We take on the tough conversation about the current cultural discussion around defunding the police. We take a few rabbit trails as we go so enjoy the discussion!!! As always, let us know what you think at asleepby9podcast on Instagram or at theasleepby9podcast@gmail.com

It's been a hard week, listeners.  George Floyd died and it will not be for nothing. We attempt to take on the topic of race because we have a social obligation to do so. There are too many injustices that can't be ignored. We won't ignore them.    This is the video Jeremiah referenced in the podcast this week.  A reminder that it's got language, it's hard to watch and it's extremely uncomfortable.  Don't let that stop you from watching or hearing the message. https://youtu.be/43gm3CJePn0   This second one is a good example of privilege and the importance of recognizing your own.   https://youtu.be/4K5fbQ1-zps  

Today we talk about the current situation surrounding masks...should we or shouldn't we?  We also dig into what makes a good apology.  Join us for some thoughtful conversation!

A short, but sweet conversation about moms.  We relive some favorite memories and talk about the people in our lives who were there for us.  You may also hear a little teary-eyed talk when it comes to missing our moms.  Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there listening.  Thank you for every little, daily grind, big loving thing you do.  It doesn't go unnoticed. xo   P.S. Did anyone else grow up jumping rope to the poem referenced in the title?

This episode took a turn for the...weird.  Our "Funniest Story of the Week" segment had one of us blushing and laughing.  We also talked about triangulation and how to overcome getting stuck in it.  Join us for a lively Sunday evening chat.     P.S. This title is best sung to the tune of "Mambo Number 5" by Lou Bega ;)

During this episode, we discuss the stimulus situation and how this pandemic is affecting some folks.  We also imagine what it would be like to say what we really think on the last day on the job.  It's a little bit of everything tonight and we hope you'll listen along.  

Happy Easter!!! Come join our playful conversation about Easter(n). Elissa tries to stump Jeremiah in this short bonus episode and Jeremiah plays along with some pretty creative, though not correct, answers. You might even hear Jeremiah make a fool of himself.

In this podcast we explore crime and punishment as well as the benefits of thinking outside the box. Elissa introduces a new segment and rescues the day when it seems like Jeremiah is going to let it fall flat. We round it out with "What's trending" and boy were we guessing through this one.

Join us as we chat about how to find value and child-like wonder during these times of quarantine and social distancing. The "What's Trending" segment is back again.  Jeremiah also pulled a fast one with a NEW segment, "Translating #teenspeak".  We hope you enjoy this week's episode.  Feel free to chime in on our Instagram Page, asleepby9podcast.   

Some positive ways to look at homeschooling now that you've been thrown into it.  Whether you've always homeschooled, been interested in trying it or never given it a second thought, it's at the forefront of our lives during this pandemic.  We hope to encourage you a little during this time.  Jeremiah also throws a curveball in a new segment, "What's trending?".  Join us for some light hearted chatter.

A short conversation about confirmation bias and the echo chamber.  We got our mixed all talked up a couple of times. Hopefully most of what we said makes sense!  Also, the positive spin on the pandemic.  

A quick update on the Coronavirus and then we chat about how to grow in times of fear.  Jeremiah even shares his "secret" to changing the past!
