It’s almost tax time and you know what that means… that’s right, it’s time for an April Fool’s episode!  We thought it would be a great opportunity for us to head back to our comedy roots and share one of our favorite episodes from when we were a new podcast, just getting started.  If you’ve been listening for a while, you will know that the original podcast used recordings from our nutty family dinners and this one was one of our favorites.  We hope you enjoy the tale of The Smack Heard Round the Block as much as we did!

Welcome to 2026!  Can you believe the New Year is upon us?  To kick things off, we thought we would offer a special tribute episode in honor of our dad Dwight Alford, aka The Badger.  In this episode, we tell some fun stories about underwear, (yes, the theme continues), including our favorite story about the time he got locked out of his house in his underwear.  That is a real wildlife thriller, for sure!  You won’t want to miss it and stay tuned for more fun episodes in 2026!
