Two Peas and a Pod

Oh Mikki you so fine you so fine you blow my mind hey Mikki! Can we just take a minute to celebrate Mikala? I mean Mikki really did it this time. Welcome to a very special pod about a VERY special person. We celebrate Mikala's Birthday! At the TOP of this episode we SAIL into Mikala's shmores of Birthday memories. She “had to think about that” but came up with four, with too many (ghost) runners up, to count. We work up a sweat on our Moo point about obligatory gifts. Justin puts Mikala in a pickle when he asks her to blindly rank her favorite all time sports memories, but she still ACES it. This episode is like blasting a homerun on your last hit ever at the state semifinals. Speaking of.. As we come to a close we discuss the future of the pod. If this is our last episode..Don't ever say we never gave you anything.

Make roomba in your day for your favorite SHOW, Two Peas and a Pod. Mikala takes a quiz that reveals she is the chosen one, but the description given leaves something to be derised. We make waves as we kick off soccer season with 2 wins and 2 very stylish goals. You might think we're…..up to something..as we OBVIOUSLY fight dirty in a “That's Debatable” segment that will ALWAYS leave you wondering, after all this time, whether or not Snape was a good guy or just a love sick Death Eater. Justin gives a rapid fire recap of the first 8 episodes of season 3 of OTH. Insurance run out? We claim to have you covered with this premium episode.

Justin's sickness affords him the opportunity (sure that's what it was) to binge through yet another season of One Tree Hill. Lucas and Keith find themselves back in Tree Hill after Dan's Heart attack. Dan forms a master plan to repay Keith that will Alter his future (and leave him standing at one) Lucas looks to turn over and make new some fallen leaves from his Tree Hill past, and find where his heart lies. Haley's discovery of her singing talent leads to early marriage challenges for her and Nathan as the allure of a life potentially missed calls her from the stage and the big city. Jake returns and just as things begin to rev up for He and Peyton the door is quickly slamm(er)ed shut. Karen returns to school for business but discovers chemistry instead with her Professor. Dan's propensity for figuratively playing with fire has him literally about to get burned as an unknown assailant poisons him and lights his office on fire. This season is surrounded by liars.. Everywhere you turn…and surrounded by imposters…everywhere you turn. Am I the only one who noticed? I can't be the only one who's learned.

Are you ready for it? (bass drop, bass drop, bass drop.) Allllllright….okay.Mikala returns home to Ohio and peruses down a memory lane that has her at threat level 3, but all roads lead to her Dad officially becoming a Hall of Famer in our book. Hopefully our Moo point doesn't taurus apart as we put the Pisces together to see what is written in the stars when it comes to our thoughts on zodiac signs. (Spoiler alert: we find them capricorny, completely dumb, and dangerous) Mikala doesn't get beat like she stole somethin' (Mr. Bosley) when Justin tests her Remember the Titans knowledge. Are you into welding? Because you'll find this episode Riveting.

We take a break from what we've been trying to be laaaatelyyyy as Justin jumps on the One Tree Hill rollercoaster of teen/adult drama, truth, lies, MURDER?!, heartache, love and basketball. We at Two Peas and a Pod consider spoilers a no Lafferty matter so consider this your alert. We recap all of season 1 and Justin gives his thoughts (his many, many thoughts) on each character and their current situations in the story. So come on in, the door is unlocked (always) and don't be a guy. Be a man/woman and listen to this episode. Afterwards if you're hoping to never hear about OTH on this podcast again..”You better hope I die.”

We've had a blast (ended skrewt) discussing everything from snake milking and Madeyes to Yule balls and Bagmans as we come to a close with Chapters 35–37 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This is not a gripe..This is just a simple observation. I'm just making an observation.

You're bout to get your heeeeeead sprung in this pickleball-heavy episode. Mikala and Justin find themselves amongst future colleagues as they attend the PPA Tournament.

How YOU doin'? Welcome back to our officially legal, episode 21. We play 20 questions but 6 of them are MIA. Mikala is awakened to the ear piercing sounds of “USA USA USA” ringing through her house as the 2024 Olympics are in full swing. We PIVOT to a Moo point that is not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy/girl and it IS a big deal! Care to venture a guess on what it is? We'd love to go through some correspondence with you on this, but so far we've got nubbin. So email us at twopeasandapod14@gmail.com.

Mikala heads home to Ohio for the week and gets to watch one of her sons experience a BEASTLY right of passage.Justin's new found liking for biking gets off to a Rocky start, and has people looking at him like a cat watching two dogs sniff each other's butts. We get REAL on a moo point that may force us all to take a good long look in the mirror. No injections needed to crack a smile at this episode!

It's not enough for the goal to be to keep mom and baby alive. We should aim for experiences that allow mothers to thrive to set her up better for her own wellbeing and taking care of her child(ren). -Mikala Mikala has a strong, beautiful passion for birth culture and the well being of Mothers and their children before, during and after childbirth. In today's episode she finds herself in the special position of being able to put passion into action when a friend asks her for her calming presence in the labor and delivery room. Ironically in doing so, she discovers what she was born to do. There is no going back after this one. This is THE one. If you only ever listen to one of our episodes, make sure it is this one.

Welcome to another episo…We don't have time for this.

It's a hummmmdinger of an episode as it is PLANE to see Justin has entered the danger zone of a midlife crisis. We have an orca in our logo, but let's be honest… Do they actually exist? You could look it up on the internet, but after our Moo Point you may think twice about that. Get up off of that thing, live like you were dying, and keeeeeep coming back for this one!
