Description

A small-town team name shouldn’t spark this much chaos—but “Flying Mummies” does exactly that. We kick off with Richmond’s new wooden-bat league squad and tumble into a spirited roast of the home uniform pants, why minor league branding matters, and how a clever identity can pull a whole community together. It’s fun, fast, and surprisingly tender as we weigh how design lands on real bodies and why kids need merch that feels cool, not costume-y.

From there, the conversation widens into life’s messier innings: a grocery-line moment that unravels decades of marriage fatigue, the quiet fear of aging alone, and the uncomfortable truth that technology might become our most reliable safety net. We get candid about fall detection, social isolation, and whether future companionship could look more like AI than a spouse. It’s not dour—we’re laughing through it—but the questions linger in a good way.

Then we grab the headlines with an office trend that wants shoes left at the door, an ultra-marathon that requires Taco Bell pit stops, and two animal stories that test our moral reflexes: peacocks on the plate and a classroom snake fed a kitten. Where do we draw the line between livestock and pet, necessary feeding and needless trauma, spectacle and sport? We don’t preach; we explore—the way friends do when the mics are on and the takes are hot.

If you’re here for sharp banter, oddball news, and honest talk about how we actually live now, hit play. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves minor league mayhem, and leave a review with your hottest team-name or uniform take—we’ll read the best ones on air.
