• A Lil Bit of Uncommon Sense and a Dash of Lawsuits
    Jun 5 2026

    Sandy and Kristy chat about why they feel “dead inside” this week, then quickly pivot into a long discussion about how everything seems to be turning into a lawsuit and how common sense and work ethic feel like they’re disappearing. They trade examples and opinions, including a rumored Galveston rollercoaster rescue “inappropriate touching” claim, the reality behind the McDonald’s hot coffee case, a TikTok-related lawsuit alleging the algorithm is too addictive for kids, and other odd or extreme suits like airlines being sued over “window seats” with no window, a lost-pants case seeking millions, and various trademark disputes. They also mention a surge in legal problems tied to AI-assisted filings and argue many issues should be handled through boundaries, personal responsibility, and basic conversation instead of litigation.

  • A Lil Bit of a NASCAR Therapy Session and Our Usual Political BS
    May 29 2026

    Hosts Sandy and Kristy discuss why they feel “dead inside” this week: Kristy is overwhelmed by constant Northeast Texas allergies and jokes the only relief is being on a cruise ship, while Sandy is exhausted from keeping her grandbaby during a sleep regression and relies on Ms. Rachel to help. Sandy also rethinks her long-standing dislike of NASCAR driver Kyle Busch after seeing evidence of his kindness toward other drivers and his son, debates whether NASCAR drivers play “characters,” and shares strong opinions about Bubba Wallace. They then vent about political mailers, misinformation, entitlement, and frustration with current U.S. politics, discuss homelessness incentives in San Francisco, concerns about COVID and vaccines, and worries about Social Security. They end by mentioning TV shows they watch to unwind, describing vivid dreams, celebrating being debt-free, and sharing their email address.

  • A Lil Bit of Bad Days & Boundary Wars
    May 22 2026

    Sandy and Kristy chat about feeling “dead inside,” with Kristy describing recent financial stress and the hope of becoming 100% debt-free soon, plus her jewelry business unexpectedly taking off. Sandy shares a painful neck strain and Kristy recounts her truck being broken into after it was left unlocked, urging listeners to lock vehicles and not leave valuables or guns inside. They debate politics and media clips, complain about unprofessional politicians, discuss Spencer Pratt and California’s fire response, and argue that society rewards entitlement and avoids consequences, referencing the Duggar/Josh Duggar situation and “participation trophy” culture. They also discuss proposed copper-nickel mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters and the environmental tradeoffs of tech dependence, before ending with lighter talk about bras, “free boobin’,” and inviting listener emails.

  • A Lil Bit of Freedom of Speech
    May 8 2026

    Hosts Sandy and Kristy chat casually about drinks and weekend plans, then dedicate the episode to the recent death of a classic country musician while reminiscing about concerts. They share positive personal updates, including a new job in the family and a small business expansion, before shifting into a frustrated rant about a recent motorsports incident. The conversation turns heavy as they discuss political polarization, media influence, and how public figures use “free speech” to justify extreme rhetoric, including reactions to a high-profile assassination attempt. They also touch on government spending, immigration, cultural and legal concerns in their state, self-defense and gun safety, parenting and kids’ online exposure, and end with brief paranormal app thoughts, relaxation techniques, and plugs for their businesses and podcast.

  • 76 - A Lil Bit of Paranormal Convention Shenanigans
    May 1 2026

    Sandy and Kristy debrief a small paranormal convention in Mineola, Texas, and agree it was equal parts fascinating, funny, and completely draining. They describe a guided investigation in an old building where the vibe turned strange fast—unexplained touches, unsettling shadows, and moments other people noticed too. Later, they encounter eerie temperature changes, quirky spirit-box “banter,” and the kind of activity that makes you question what’s imagination and what’s not. The next day brings tarot readings, a surprisingly emotional past-life style session, Bigfoot talk that’s more convincing than expected, and a psychic roundtable that leaves Kristy feeling seen about experiences she’s kept quiet for years. By the final ghost hunt, the equipment and the energy feel like “too much,” so they call it and head back to the hotel—hoping the night ends there.

  • 75 - A Lil bit of a Teen Takeover with Guest Kaitlyn Thomas
    Apr 24 2026

    In episode 75 of A Little Bit Dead, Gen X hosts Sandy and Kristy welcome 17-year-old guest Kaitlyn, a coworker headed to UT Tyler for nursing after unexpectedly falling in love with healthcare through a school CNA program. The conversation revisits “what we’d tell our 18-year-old selves,” with advice to stay grounded in college, don’t let relationships or drama feel like the end of the world, enjoy being young, and be responsible (including letting someone else do your taxes). They contrast generational attitudes about feelings and social media pressure, touch on politics and college bias, and swap stories about how time speeds up, raising kids, loss, and finding purpose. It ends with childbirth and hair-dye tangents. Thank you for listening!!!

  • 74 - A Lil Bit About This & That - AI Will Lie and So Will Car Salesmen
    Apr 17 2026

    In episode 74, Sandy and Kristy celebrate how far the podcast has come and ask for ideas for a big 100th-episode plan (TikTok and cocktail hour included). Kristy’s “dead inside” moment is heavy: her husband’s worsening health pushed him to walk away from a job he’d held for 23 years after the company offered him a degrading, unhealthy position, leaving the family facing big life and financial changes. Sandy’s gripe is lighter but relatable: her broken-AC-and-heater Nissan needs replacing, but slimy, sexist car sales tactics—and a dip-spitting salesman—make shopping miserable. They also vent about ChatGPT confidently spreading misinformation, talk verifying sources (including sketchy Google results), share true-crime updates on the Gilgo Beach murders, and plug a local boutique’s 10-year anniversary plus an upcoming paranormal convention and merch.
