After more than 35 years in the classroom, we’ve retired from teaching-but not from telling stories. We’ve shared our favorite school-day tales, and now it’s time to turn the spotlight on us. These days we’re focused on growing older (but definitely not growing up). We still don't know what we didn't know, but you might pick up a life lesson or two-between the laughs.

  • Colonoscopies Part 2-Where Did I Put My Dignity?
    Mar 18 2026

    Lisa and Sue continue their discussion about colonoscopies with part 2, including a sure-to-be-viral rap about the joys of colonoscopies. They phone Sue's friend Anne, who describes choosing a colonoscopy over “poo in a box” testing at 50, enduring the prep, and the awkward loss of dignity when a male nurse she knew assisted.

    Sue and Lisa compare screening options, joke about medical jobs involving stool samples, and rank procedures such as pelvic exams, mammograms, stress tests, colonoscopies, and endoscopy, emphasizing that the prep and waiting are the worst parts.

    They share post-sedation silliness, discuss polyps and repeat screening intervals, compare colonoscopies to dental cleanings, and once again pitch their “prep pants” ideas.

  • Colonoscopies Part 1-If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry
    Mar 4 2026

    Retired Wisconsin teachers Lisa and Sue share a humorous conversation sparked by Lisa needing antibiotics before a dental appointment due to an artificial knee and Sue picking up her prescriptions, including a large colonoscopy prep jug.

    They discuss the importance of colonoscopies, with Lisa starting screenings at 38 because her father died of colon cancer and continuing every 3–5 years depending on polyps, and mention people delaying or needing earlier screening.

    In We Didn’t Know What We Didn’t Know (Life Laughed), these two decades-long friends swap tales about aging, dignity (or the lack thereof), medical misadventures, and why you should never take your clothes off at the dentist. It’s part cautionary tale, part public service announcement, and mostly laughter. They trade prep tips and mishaps: clear liquids, avoiding red drinks, using Gatorade/MiraLax or other preps, hydration to avoid dehydration, and recount vomiting and last-minute enemas and pregnancy tests, scheduling frustrations, and Lisa’s daughter doing prep on a show-choir bus.

    They joke about medical specialties and pitch “procedure pants/colonoscopy chic,” then promise a part two.

  • Granny's Value-losis Disease
    Feb 4 2026

    In this episode, retired teachers Lisa and Sue tackle a very real condition no one warned us about: Value-losis—the sudden belief that every dish, photo, knickknack, and Precious Moment figurine is priceless (spoiler: it’s not).

    From baby clothes no one wants, to eleven tubs of photos nobody asked for, to the cruel truth about Hummels, Beanie Babies, and Princess Diana collectibles, the ladies dig into why we cling to stuff—and why our kids absolutely do not want to deal with it later. There’s talk of storage units (too many), souvenirs (too big), shot glasses (acceptable), and the existential horror of our Mom’s accumulations.

    Along the way, they share practical advice (label your photos, digitize your memories, stop buying “Istan-bowls”), laugh about memory lapses, and swap stories ranging from heartwarming to mildly terrifying (yes, there’s a creepy storage unit moment—trust your Spidey senses).

    The big takeaway? Keep what makes you happy—but don’t leave your loved ones buried under your sentimental clutter. Sixty might be the age when you still feel 30… but you finally start asking, “Do I really need this?”

    Don’t catch Value-losis. Life laughed.
