Hey it's good to be back home again... especially with what happened during the weekend that was. Our third outing to the West Bend Cache Ba$h in West Bend, Wisconsin was... well, not the charm. Hey, it's not my fault Nissan cars aren't as reliable as Toyota. It IS my fault that my car has over 180,000 miles on it. It's not my fault that alternator…

Sorry about that. This was supposed to come out on Tuesday (yesterday). It wasn't edited at that point. What? I got addicted to That 70's Show, and totes forgot to go upstairs and edit it. You would too. So.... Welcome to season four. We had a fairly busy summer. Not as busy as last year that it needed to be divided into three episodes. We did see …

Okay okay! We missed last week. Sorry! Things happen. You were busy too, admit it. As we approach summer in about three weeks, we're curious as to where the heck springtime is. For most of the northern part of the US, Mother Nature has been on a tirade of nanny nanny boo boo weather. Mother Nature can't get her act together with the weather, but th…

Finally. Three episodes later, we discuss the fated Muse concert in late February at the Target Center. Admit it, you were waiting with baited breath for a recap of that night in February, weren't you. Probably not. Anywho, we also saw Styx in the time it took to make this episode. Nah, it was recorded over this past weekend. We're just lazy. Styx …

Ah... the 95th Academy Awards. I bet you didn't watch all three and a half hours did you? Well, to be honest, we can't say we don't blame you if you missed it. Every year, the show runs long, there's always long speeches, music numbers, and questionable activities. So here's our take on the show. We watched it so you don't have to. We list off the …

Ok, too many Ts in that Title. Terrific. I'll see myself out. Anyway, two topics today (I can't stop) dealing with particular breeds of cats. What exactly qualifies for a tuxedo cat? Normally, when you picture a tuxedo cat, it's black and white right? Well, you pesky listener, you're missing out on other types. Also, I'm feeling tortitude talking a…

Well that's over and done with. The weekend that was, or wasn't, or was. I'm confused. This past weekend, we went to downtown St. Paul to catch a monthly event that I had never been to but the Melanie had. Roller Derby!!! What is roller derby? Well, unless you actually go and see it, or you've seen the Elliot Page movie "Whip It" you probably know …

This time, we set our sights on what could be considered Brendan Fraser's comeback. The film is known as The Whale, and has already garnered Oscar buzz. Alas, if Brendan wins best a…

Okay campers, this MAY be the final episode of the year. We say that with an asterisk, or *, for short, because it is almost time to be lost in the mess of year ending holidays. So just like last year, we'll be taking a break until January, when it gets super cold, boring, and bleak. Yikes. Well, for most of the country covered in snow it does. All…

Face it, 'tis the season where our waistlines expand, and before you know it, Jolly Old Saint Nick is going to chastise you for eating all of those Christmas Cookies. If you haven't guessed, today's episode is all about food. Yes, we need foods to survive. But, given it is fall (for most of us), we wondered what some comfort foods you enjoy are. Wh…

Hey look ma I set the stage on fire! Well, at least Panic at the Disco! did in St. Paul, MN during their tour. Our own correspondent Melanie was there, and gives the 411 on the night that was. But that's not all we're talking about on this week's episode. You see, it's the autumnal equinox soon. That's fall! A big season with leaves (it has the jui…

Oh ho ho Peggy... My Peggy Su u ue. Yes, we're back from the land of doo-wop. This weekend, your hosts traveled to Clear Lake, Iowa. That's where legend has it that the music died.

Ugh. It was bound to happen. Two and a half years and two positive tests later, we were laid up with what was likely the omnicron variant of COVID-19 last week. How was it? What was our experiences? Find out in this episode. Sufficient to say, we don't recommend it. Please continue to take precautions with COVID, as it hasn't gone away yet (obvious…

So a bit of a blast from the past this week, due to unforeseen circumstances... ugh. Anyway, coming to you then from spring of 2022, this oldie episode was in the can, but just never aired for some reason. It's life hacks and keeping your cat safe outdoors! Face it, some cats love to wander, so wouldn't it be cool if your cat could wander and be sa…

It's freaking freezing in here Mr. Bigglesworth. Or at least it was, way back in June near Duluth, Minnesota. Here is what could potentially be the final part of how we spent our summer vacation, and to tell the tale you gotta go back. You gotta go back two months and two hours north of the Twin Cities to the shores of Lake Superior. Did we find an…

So it's been a long long while since we've done one o'deez. Yikes. Where did the summer go? It's barely a month old and we're already getting forgetful. Or busy. I'm sure you're busy, what with your mom or dad stuff, and your vacation to exotic fridger-ator. Anyway, we're still here, and DXing is hot. We're deep in skip season. If none of this make…

Well hello there, I'm Billy Bob, drivin here on ol' I 7-0 in Richfield, and today's DXCast gives us an update on the first official opening of the season which happened Wednesday of this week. It wasn't all that spectacular. A slew of relogs and only two new logs to the book, both from Missis... Missiip...Mississippi... there we go. So due to the p…

So the second week of skip season brought the first opening, but it was a dud and a half. Only one confirmed log this entire week via skip - WMAW 88.1 Meridian, MS... but the snotty thing about the DX Gods is that they gave me a relog. I've already heard WMAW. I don't need no stinking MAW. Here's hoping that this week, we actually get an opening wo…

I don't know about you, but Minnesota didn't have a spring. It went right from Sprinter to summer, and in a hurry. Hell, yesterday we had tornado warnings and super lightning.

Well you asked and we answered. This is the season two finale of Catbox Chronicles! What is a TOTT? Better yet, how do I find a geocache and what is it? What if I w…

Melanie is joined by friend-o-dah-pod Abbie, and the two discuss the all important topic as to why we're so darn attached to our animals. Seriously, if you ever spend/waste hours on Tiktok, you'll see it. A lot of people have really deep bonds with their pets and it's not something that can be explained away easily. The girls discuss their cats att…

Oh gosh. You betcha. We're talking the Oscars. The Academy Awards. Hollywood's Big Night! If you didn't watch the show Sunday night, you're not one of the 15.8 million who did.

If you're suffering from hoarding, you're not alone. It's a real lif…

Specifically, what's up with white cats statistically being deaf? Is this genetic? White kitties must stand up against oppression. Smudge would want them to. And... do cats recognize us, or…

Long ago we promised you a look back at what we thought were the best films and television shows of 2021. Well, catboxers, that day is here. 2021 was year two of the stupid pandemic, so going to the movie theaters was still iffy for a lot of people. We went a few times, but we took every precaution to be safe. Anyway, we're going through what we th…

Do you believe animals stay with us after they pass? Do animals even have souls? Well... it depends. Some religions believe yes, some say no, some just don't say. Both Mel and Justin believe cats have souls and their spirits can stay behind once they cross the rainbow bridge. We have seen them ourselves. Could it be a figment of our imagination? Ma…

Today on the pod, we break down more about Hygge, because we didn't quite cover the vastness that the Danish know best. Hygge sounds awesome, and you probably do it more than you think you do.
