About this listen

Welcome to The Mo & Katy Show - the podcast where two unlikely best friends, one retired Air Force Colonel and one music-and-performance ace, sit down, hit record and turn everyday moments into joyful, meaningful, side-eye-worthy adventures.

Mo and Katy are humor strategists who believe life’s best stories aren’t always the big ones, they’re the weird detours, the tiny sparks, the grocery-store epiphanies and the “did-that-really-just-happen?” moments hiding in plain sight.

Every episode brings:

  • Hilariously honest banter from an odd couple who somehow make perfect sense together
  • A shared story or everyday moment that becomes the through-line
  • Tangents that should probably be edited out (but never are)
  • A dash of heart, because connection, not comedy, is the real punchline
  • A reminder to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, even when life feels like a plot twist with no budget

Whether you’re here for a laugh, a little perspective or that cozy “I’m right in the room with them” feeling, pull up a chair. You’re part of the conversation now.

Life is weird. People are wonderful. And everything - everything - is worth noticing.

Welcome to the Mo & Katy Show. Where connection leads, laughter follows and monotony doesn’t stand a chance.

  • Counting Sheep at 4AM & Singing Britney at a Bar Mitzvah
    Feb 16 2026

    Happy post-Valentine’s, Galentine’s, Presidents’, Groundhog, Ash Wednesday season… apparently we celebrate everything now.

    In this episode, Mo and Katy recap a weekend that includes:

    • A dozen roses that accidentally got credit for 24 hours to the wrong friend
    • A first-ever Bar Mitzvah experience (complete with Torah lessons, cultural immersion and a seriously impressive 13-year-old vocalist)
    • Britney Spears making her debut at a reception
    • Literal sheep counting… on a spreadsheet… at 4 a.m.
    • And a late-night Olympic curling rabbit hole

    What starts as holiday banter turns into something a little deeper: what it means to be invited into someone else’s world. From religious traditions to niche sports to musical subcultures, we explore how stepping inside unfamiliar spaces expands perspective and deepens appreciation for our own.

    Also: gummy Nerd clusters are discussed. Consider yourself warned.

    Mazel tov. Oops. We did it again.

  • The Science of Showing Up
    Feb 9 2026

    What do the Winter Olympics, a shepherd’s-crook-sized crochet hook, Galentine’s Day shows and cardigan theory all have in common? Apparently… us.

    In this episode, we bounce from Olympic confusion (curling? luge? Roombas?) to behind-the-scenes reflections on creating shows with intention, psychological safety and just enough chaos.

    We talk about why showing up matters more than perfection, how humor actually has a method behind it and why bringing cookies in a cardigan might just be the secret to being a good human.

    It’s goofy. It’s thoughtful. It’s a long-lasting momentary disruption. And yes, there is entirely too much talk about wood and yarn.

  • Resonance, connection and useless talents
    Feb 2 2026

    Coming soon

    Most of us underestimate the power of small moments - like a kind word on a tough day or the simple act of truly listening - to profoundly impact lives. In this episode, we dive into everyday stories and surprising science that reveal how tiny acts of presence and connection can ripple outward, shaping our relationships and our world.

    You’ll discover how energy transfer is more than woo-woo, it’s backed by science, from tuning forks to harmony in music. We explore the idea that you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with, and how your vibe influences those around you. Through uplifting stories, practical insights and a few quirky laughs, learn how embracing the small moments can make a big difference.

    We break down how seemingly insignificant skills (like doing a poem in Spanish or answering a random panel question) can carry life-saving importance. You’ll hear how a simple act, like a volunteer stepping beyond rules to make someone feel seen, creates ripples of kindness that truly matter. Plus, get inspired to lead with presence in your relationships, from family to professional settings, and start noticing the subtle ways you can tune your own “vibration.”

    This episode is perfect for anyone craving more connection, curious about the science of energy and influence or looking for practical ways to make their daily interactions more meaningful. Whether you're a leader, a parent or just someone who wants to create a little more SHUAC — seen, heard, understood, appreciated and connected — these stories and ideas remind us that the small things are often the big things in disguise.

    Calibrate your vibe and amplify kindness in your life.
