This week we welcome Kristine Pruitt. She was gracious enough to share the story of her son Kade's ongoing battle with Leukemia. It was a great and enlightening conversation about how they even considered getting him checked out. Good to remember that ongoing health issues like Kade's affect the whole family and community. Lots of shout-outs to the amazing Cook Children's Hospital.

We also have our obligatory hunting and heifer talk, plus Misty on sports (everyone is winning). Reagan gives some info on where to donate locally to the victims of Hurricane Helene. Then Mike gushes on and on about the great Kris Kristofferson.

Hi everyone. Did you miss us? It's only been 4 months or so since our last episode, but we're back on that horse.

On this episode, we reintroduce ourselves. Misty came very prepared with some interesting data about when female athletes are most vulnerable to ligament injuries. (hint...it has to do with hormones and stuff). Mike goes into full self-promotion mode about his new album "The Innocence We've Lost" (listen here).

We also have two very special guests, Jason and Karlyn Dickens of ReDefined Prosthetics. ReDefined Prosthetics is a 501c3 that is dedicated to transforming lives by ensuring that old prosthetics find renewed purpose as functional tools.

The mission of the organization is to provide funding for children who are in need of a prosthetic. Check out their website https://www.redefined-prosthetics.org/ or visit them on Instagram at @redefined_prosthetics.

Joe closes the show by making us talk about our FEELINGS, again. We discuss how to take time out of our busy schedules to take care of and stay connected to your significant other.

This episode is our first one recorded in the PM. A Friday afternoon, to be exact. Which might explain why everyone seemed extra-awake. And spicy.

Misty starts us off with a heifer update. Reagan lets us know about the new sports bar in Hudson Oaks. Then we discuss the situation with the Watson family. These former Aledo residents are going through a nightmare overseas. Mike talks about the benefit for them on May 11. Then Mike goes on a bit of a rant about the new AI-assisted Randy Travis song. We finish up with a discussion about why wives are so mean.
