"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Episode 51: Do most wives do their husband's laundry? 32:10

hace 3 years32:10

32:10

Rick recently made the comment to Dana that "most wives do their husband's laundry." So do they? Why doesn't Dana do Rick's laundry anymore? She used to. How do you split up the household chores and other stuff that needs to get done? Does it matter who is home more often or who makes more money? What is the "mental load" and why do most women carry it? Do men even know what the "mental load" is? We also talk about the family meeting we had with Rocco and why Dana is having a hard time coming up with podcast ideas.

We kick off Episode 50 with a review of the Garth Brooks concert we went to in Orlando over the weekend... One of us cried, and we both enjoyed the show. We're both a little skeptical about some of the "impromptu" moments with fans during the show though. Then we talk about our "emotional bank accounts" and how we seem to be taking too many withdrawals without making enough deposits. We welcome your comments, questions, and future topic suggestions. I said Episode 49 at the beginning... Lost count, this is 50!

Episode 49: Celebrity Deaths and I-to-I Communication 36:09

hace 3 years36:09

36:09

In this episode we talk about the celebrity deaths that have hit us in the feels. Then we discuss I-to-I communication - Initiator to Inquirer. It's a process we have worked on with our marriage therapist for over a year. It involves learning how to bring up things that bother us without blaming or name-calling, and how to be an interested listener instead of rushing to defend ourselves or fight back. Thank you for listening!…

Episode 48: The Lost Episode 38 36:14

hace 3 years36:14

36:14

If you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you'll remember a few years ago we did an episode and then deleted it less than 24 hours after it was released. This is that episode. We've been busy this week and didn't get a chance to record yet... Rick suggested we re-release the "lost" episode... It's about how to confront a friend. Rick tried to nicely confront a friend about a situation that he wasn't happy about, and it didn't go well. We ended up deleting the episode because it caused some drama... But now it's all in the past so here it is!…
