Dumb Dialogue with Dad

Stuff About Kenobi | Season 3 | Episode 23

Spoiler Alert:  There are discussions about the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series, as well as other Star Wars movies and video games.
Happy Halloween!  This was supposed to be our first No Dad Allowed episode, but plans changed.  Instead, Aurie and Dad decide to talk about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.  Of course, we talk about the typical things but there were some specific shenanigans in this one. 
At one point, Dad flips Hayden Christensen’s name and calls him Christian Haydensen.  It was a mistake (sorry Hayden). 
Aurie pitches her idea for a new Star Wars series to the good folks over at Disney and LucasFilms. 
Retroactively in the future in the past becomes a measure of time when talking about Star Wars.  We think it makes sense somehow.
Dad calls Anakin/Darth Vader a Crispy Chicken Nugget because of his injuries at the end of Revenge of the Sith and says Anakin has had limbs missing since he was a teenager.  He ain’t wrong.
Dad and Aurie craft out the conversations that Obi-Wan is finally able to have with Qui-Gon’s Force Ghost and they’re not what you think.
Dad randomly asks Aurie if a bottle of water was hers because he was thirsty.  We could have edited it out but…eh.
There are some audio issues in this one.  Our bad…

Stuff About Moving | Season 3 | Episode 22

Spoiler Alert:  There is some discussion about Stranger Things 4…if you haven’t seen it, watch it before listening to this. 
We move…a lot.  Like, a lot a lot.  In fact, we just moved again into what we now can wholeheartedly say is our Forever Home.  But there is a story to tell on how we got here, so in this episode, Dad tells a looooong story that goes back to 2012…no, 2007.  Fortunately, it is pertinent exposition to the episode so please don’t get mad because he talks for a while.  Nonetheless, we move so much that we refer to previous houses as “old house, old old house, old old old house, and old old old old house.  There was even a 4-month stint in a great (but small) apartment (and a hotel for a week) between houses in 2018 due to building delays.
Plus, the girls talk about their adventures with food during this last move, but let it be known that they ate EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Shout out to M&M Home Solutions for being the dopest contractors and working with us on projects across 3 houses now and will do more work in this one.
And shoutout Highland Homes who built this beautiful new home.  Special thanks to Thea Harrison, Patti Conlin, Ryan Rodriguez, and Tanner Sorenson.  We appreciate them for getting us in this beautiful home.

Stuff About Hawaii | Season 3 | Episode 21

We are back for season 3!  It’s been a while, but we're ready to have more conversations about all sorts of stuff but in this episode, we talk about our early summer trip to Hawaii.  The thing is…we were not together the whole trip.  It’ll make sense when you hear us talking about it.  But two things we all can say about our first trip to the Aloha State is that Ube donuts are fire, and the Polynesian Cultural Center is awesome!  Plus, you’ll hear that we all now have a love for Island 98.5 and we all find ourselves listening to Hawaiian Reggae.
 
One note:  Our last dinner in Hawaii was at Yard House.  We couldn’t remember during the recording, but Dad remembered while editing.  Also...quick shout out to Brandon T. Eyring for hitting us up on LinkedIn.  We appreciate the follow!

Stuff About Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Between Seasons Bonus Episode

Spoiler Alert!!
This is a bonus episode where we discuss Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This episode was recorded a few months ago so you may hear some slightly aged stuff.  We were also very tired while recording but shenanigans did occur.  For example, Dad knows surprisingly little about Sonic and the games so the girls give a crash course on the history of Sonic and his crew.  Yani liked the pacing of the movie but refuses to use the word "pacing".  Aurie refers to Dad as "a fossil". There's also a general discussion on upcoming movies and Yani was kicking the ottoman where the mic sits so...you may notice that throughout.  Lastly, a playful confrontation involving an empty water bottle and sofa pillows happens at the very end.  
We have some exciting stuff coming next season, which should start in September, including stuff about our summer trip to Hawaii, moving, reviews of Stranger Things, Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness, and much more!  
Oh, we are now on Instagram and Facebook @dumbdialoguewithdad so check us out but set your expectations low because we ain't put much on either yet.

(Some) Stuff About Conspiracy Theories | Season 2 | Episode 19

In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite conspiracy theories.Aiyanah tells us about the Mandela Effect, Aurieanah talks about "ghosts", and Dad regals us with tales of Simulation Hypothesis.  Plus, Aurieanah has watched herself sleep, Dad watched a movie as a youth that never existed, and Aiyanah thinks we're all robots playing in VR...yes, including you.  Shoutout to Stuff They Don't Want You to Know and Hysteria 51, especially Brent Hand at the 30:30 mark.  
Also, a shoutout to Pennsylvania, who is the state with the 2nd most overall listens of this podcast after Texas.  
Another thing...we spoil a couple of movies in this episode so if you haven't seen Wall-E or The Others, just know we pretty much give a synopsis of both.
Last thing...shout out to My Momma Told Me with Langston Kerman.  Although we didn't mention it in the episode, its a pretty awesome podcast about conspiracy theories. 
 
We'll be back in season 3 but be on the lookout for a summer bonus episode.  

Stuff About The Batman | Season 2 | Episode 18

Spoiler Alert!!
In this episode, Dad and Aiyanah do their standalone episode without Aurieanah.  Don't worry, she'll be back in the next one. Anyway, this is the episode where we learn that Dad has been watching some form of Batman most of his life and because of this, he thinks he's a philosophical expert on the plight of Gotham City.  Also, Aiyanah may or may not have had the beginning stages of a cold and makes sniffle noises throughout.  Feel free to make a game out of it, similar to her bird noises in the Hawkeye episode.  We also learned that Dad watched the Twilight movies in his downtime on deployment in 2011.  Lastly, some strange feedback happens at about the 15:30 mark.  Don't worry, it's not too distracting but it may be the kick in the pants Dad needs to buy a new podcast recording kit.
 
Tune in for this season 2 penultimate episode!  
 
Correction:  Aiyanah said The Batman is on HBOMax on April 19th, but its actually available there on April 18th...Enjoy!
 

Stuff About Hawkeye | Season 2 | Episode 17

Spoiler Alert!!
 
In this episode, we finally get around to talk about Hawkeye.  We were in rare form when we recorded this so here's a few things to be aware of in this episode:
1.  Aiyanah makes bird noises throughout the entire episode for no good reason.  We suggest that you make a game out of it.
2.  Aurieanah still doesn't like Loki.
3.  Dad had a very bad headache.
4.  A discussion about silverware and cutlery was not edited out.
5.  Aurieanah calls Clint's quiver a "backpack thingy" and uses "sciencey" as a verb.
6.  Aiyanah at one point sniffs dad and says he smells like man, but it's not a compliment.
7.  Dad notices that Aurieanah's fingertips bend, and this does not get edited out at Aiyanah's request.
8.  There is an Agents of SHIELD tangent that will almost make you think the episode is about Agents of SHIELD....but it's not.  We promise.
This one is for sure full of "dumb stuff".  Listen in!
 

(Some) Stuff About Star Wars | Season 2 | Episode 16

Spoiler Alert!
 
Aiyanah sits this one out, so Aurieanah and Dad get to nerd out on Star Wars!  During this extended episode, Aurie surprises herself by being good at metaphors and has some stuff to say about Episode I of the Skywalker Saga.  Plus, Dad and Aurie disagree about Rey, but agree that the Jedi just suck.  There may be a part II to this one, but in the meantime, take a listen! 
By the way, we made a mistake and called Daisy Ridley, Daisy Reed....our bad. 
Also, shout out to Star Wars Theory...educated us a lot, you have.
