i love california pizza kitchen!!! and I’m from Boston and our pizza kicks NY pizza’s ass!!!
Hey Guys,
I listen to you guys thru stitcher app, which I love since I don’t have to download anything to hear a show. For some reason the last two episodes on TL & TM are being cut off abruptly. Is this happening to anyone else? I hope I don’t have to go thru iTunes.
Hi Cindy! Oh no! Sorry to hear this - thanks for the heads up ~ I will check in with them next week to see what’s up! I think they have updated the app recently - is your app updated to the latest version? Might be why…
Hey Cindy, if you have an iPhone, you can actually stream the podcast without downloading the file to your device. It’s the same process as the Stitcher app, but in the Podcasts app!
Hope that helps!
just gotta say-i’ve grown up in STL and i fucking HATE imo’s pizza, always have. i LOVE chicago deep dish (which is the total opposite of st. louis style, in my opinion). anyway, hope elizabeth and andy have a great trip here! tip: check out the new premium outlet mall in chesterfield, if you have time (but skip the taubman outlet…it sucks).
Elizabeth - I want to send a gift to you and Andy! Should I send it to the Earwolf offices?
Hey Kat!
Awesome~ We love gifts!! 🙂 You can send it to:
Andy Rosen
291 South Lake St.
Burbank, CA 91502
Thanks!
CINDY:
Try downloading an app called iPP PODCAST player..i was dealing with the exact same issues your describing, and after complete frustration and anger,i went looking for a different way to listen besides iTunes, and found this podcast specific app and its been great…no issues at all! Hope this helps!
Love the show E & A! All of ’em 🙂
Hello, laimeweds! I wrote in about my family wanting to relocate. My husband will most likely be looking for buyer/procurement positions in the Nashville area, so if anyone knows anything, definitely let us know! He is also going to ask his boss if he can work from home in the near future - that way, we could potentially move while he worked his current job in a new area, and then we’d BE there for him to interview other places. Thank you to Elizabeth and Andy for the great advice and for being so sweet to help out. Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! 🙂
Astrology is sometimes mentioned on the show here’s a nice 1 minute explanation of one of the many reasons it’s total bullshit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PNJtmizCUQ
Listener who’s in school currently - finish at least your associate’s degree. If you want to be a hairstylist, especially owning your own salon, you will need the marketing and business savvy. Also, if you ever want to transition careers later on, the degree will be a great foundation. You’ve also already invested time, and presumably some money, in school, so wrap up the associate’s. You don’t have to decide about the bachelor’s yet. You can always get the bachelor’s later, but finish the associate’s now.
To the lady with the husband in the military - I’m a military veteran in the UK, my husband has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I left the military to bring up our 2 children. It sounds like you have been super-supportive of his career so far, and you are really positive about the lifestyle you have shared. Maybe he is worried about the future when he eventually leaves the military and having sole responsibility for being the main breadwinner, and his anxiety is likely to be heightened if PTSD is involved. I know my husband would like me to earn more than I do so that the burden does not fall solely to him, but it is the military lifestyle (constant moving) that has meant my career has taken a back seat. Actually hairstyling could be a steady job for you - you cannot easily be replaced with technology as people will always need a haircut! And it’s portable. I’d say finish your degree first. And get some support in talking with your husband about it. Military men are notoriously bad at admitting they are in a bad place mentally or emotionally, even with their wives, as they often see it as a sign of weakness. All the best to you both. x
Ugh. The military spouse made me cry. I used to work closely with people in the military and have a lot of friends who are in the military. It’s so sad.
It sounds like her husband is about to be “released” AKA discharged from the military due to PTSD. The fact she has lost some of the GI benefits is a clue that he may have even be discharged without much of a financial cushion.
There’s a bigger problem than her finding a steady job- her husband needs serious help. Mental instability is highly frowned on by the US military. Counseling and psychological help is not as readily available as it should be.
The VA (Veteran’s Affairs) has a few resources. I suggest finishing the degree, finding a job and trying to help get his head straight. When he is out of a job he’s going to need a lot of support.
Also, we never know how much we truly like/dislike a job until we’re deep in it. A job in Marketing can lead almost anywhere! There’s always an opportunity to take hair styling classes while working.
My heart goes out to this writer inner. I hope we hear an update soon.
