In this lively episode of Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy, our fearless duo embarks on a "simple" college campus tour that quickly veers off course. Armed with a car bursting at the seams with snacks, toiletries, and Cowboy’s trusty hat, they set out under the naive notion that this would be a straightforward family trip. Yet, as Waze decides to route them through every Texas backroad imaginable, Kiki and Cowboy find themselves dodging cows, potholes, and a debate over tuna banishment in the car. The journey isn’t complete without Cowboy secretly catching Pokémon along the way, much to Kiki's exasperation, while Kiki herself fine-tunes her microphone skills—between snack breaks, of course.

Upon reaching their Airbnb, they encounter a charmingly haunted dollhouse with ceilings so low, Cowboy has close calls with ceiling fans, and every step unleashes a new chorus of creaks. Just as they’re settling in, the air freshener—a tiny ninja in aerosol form—ambushes Cowboy with face-fulls of fragrance, leaving him as "fresh" as the house’s mystery smell. Despite the slightly spooky setting and the nighttime cockroach encounters, they soldier on to the campus tour, where Cowboy gleefully embarrasses their daughter with photos at every turn. From Pokémon-bonding with other parents to predicting future nursing-home friend setups, Kiki and Cowboy realize the real misadventure wasn’t the campus or the cockroach, but the delightfully chaotic company they keep, and with playful reminders to... bring the toothpaste!

In this hilariously relatable episode of Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy, our duo kicks things off by sharing their gym exhaustion, which, let’s be honest, we all feel deep in our bones. But soon enough, the conversation shifts to more perilous territory—parenting young adults who are menaces behind the wheel. The couple takes turns recounting their kids’ automotive mishaps, from driving over truck tires to golf cart police encounters, all with a side of “well, they’re still learning” humor. Spoiler alert: adulting is hard, but parenting adults? A whole new level of chaos.

Take their son, for instance, who managed to get a branch stuck under his car and totally shrugged it off. Naturally, Cowboy had to step in and handle the situation, which involved fixing a broken stabilizer—because apparently driving over large objects doesn’t end well for your vehicle (who knew?). Between that and his other son ignoring a car estimate for over a month, Cowboy can only shake his head and wonder if car maintenance is somehow a foreign concept to young adults. But hey, at least it makes for great podcast content!

And if that wasn't enough, there’s their daughter, who took a trip to a small-town mechanic for an AC fix and left with a $3,200 headache instead. After trusting the wrong mechanic and getting hit with an escalating repair bill, Kiki and Cowboy had to play detective, step in, and save the day. Lesson learned? Always have a backup adult to rescue you from sneaky mechanics and, apparently, golf cart-related incidents. With all these car woes, it's no wonder the episode ends with a plea for coffee—Kiki and Cowboy deserve it!

Alright, here’s the lowdown on Kiki and Cowboy’s latest podcast misadventure:

Kiki was in some pants-related drama, and Cowboy swooped in with the kind of help that makes you question life choices. After attempting to hoist Kiki into her pants like some kind of DIY superhero, things got hilariously awkward. Picture a hot pan moment—Cowboy touched it and quickly recoiled, realizing the "help" wasn’t helping. Then there’s Kiki, needing a whole ensemble change, hinting at a long day ahead, but hey, who’s counting?

Add to that some tortoise trouble. Cowboy insists Kiki can’t handle a power tool because she might accidentally obliterate their pet's house (which, naturally, has been rearranged by said tortoise). Of course, Cowboy later tries to fix it himself, but, let's just say the results didn't go as planned. Classic "forgetful 50s" shenanigans!

Then, Kiki takes a hilarious trip down memory lane, sharing tales of woodshop classes gone awry and accidental arson. Cowboy recounts his seventh-grade woodshop experience, complete with unsupervised power tools and a Vietnam vet turned teacher, who probably had no idea his students were practically asking for disaster. Meanwhile, Kiki flashes back to her sixth-grade misadventure, where an ill-advised art project involving candles, dry paper towels, and wooden picture frames resulted in her becoming a mini pyromaniac with a flaming paper towel in hand.

As if the chaos of childhood wasn’t enough, they segue into a modern-day saga of lost AirPods. Kiki wanders around the house in search of her missing AirPod, using her trusty Apple Watch like a game of "hot and cold," only to discover—after much confusion—that she had cleverly stashed the AirPod in her bra. The epiphany, as Cowboy so eloquently puts it, was a "cleavage moment."

This episode is packed with ridiculousness, from woodshop blunders to bra-storage revelations, chaos, andgems like Cowboy's obsession with Crocs and love for Duluth Trading Company gear (yes, fire-hose pants and all).

So, Cowboy and Kiki plan their biggest motorcycle trip ever, and it's all logistical chaos.

We're talking hours on a bike, butt cramps, and Kiki trying to entertain herself while staring at the back of Cowboy's helmet.

Her genius idea? Strap an iPad to Cowboy's back like a high-tech backpack... which of course would turn into a 6-hour poke-fest of “STOP TOUCHING ME!” But, alas, the bike, aptly named “Misadventure,” lives up to its name when a leak in the brake fluid system decides to make things spicy right before the trip. Cowboy tries a few “MacGyver” fixes, but nothing sticks. Kiki's like, “I thought it was no big deal?”

And Cowboy’s like, “SURPRISE! I’ve been freaking out for months!” 😬 They cancel the trip, and after many frustrating attempts, Cowboy FINALLY finds the right part and fixes the bike. Cue the victory dance. But the whole saga isn’t over—now they're debating their next misadventure, with Kiki probably plotting more mischief while Cowboy tries to keep his sanity. To top it all off, Cowboy casually drops that Kiki’s coming on their next motorcycle group trip, which she did NOT sign up for, as the designated photographer. Kiki's revenge is surely in the works! End scene with a laugh, prayers for a listener, and a side of Kiki’s notorious sass!

In the latest episode of Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy, the duo dives deep into a furry fiasco, starting with their oddly pampered pooch, Peanut. The pair has an amusing conversation about how well-(or not)-groomed Peanut is, with Kiki teasing Cowboy about his late-night confusion of playing footsie with Peanut instead of her. Things quickly escalate into a bizarre and laugh-out-loud segment involving toe-licking, peanut butter, and toilet paper, leaving the hosts questioning their life's choices and what direction the conversation is taking. Conjunctivitis also makes a weird guest appearance, proving that no topic is too random for this pair!

After the canine hygiene tangent, they steer the ship back to their beloved "misadventures," recounting the protective nature of their other dog, Iggy - also know as Ignatius. Iggy is described as Kiki's personal guard dog, even following her into the bathroom, standing guard in various ridiculous poses. The image of Iggy planting himself at the bathroom door, bulldog-style, while Kiki does her makeup or showers, is a comedic vision. The hosts joke about how Iggy is so underfoot they question if he is actively trying to kill them, as a tripping hazard at every turn - especially with his ninja-like ability to blend into the carpet at night—turning their room into an obstacle course of tiny dog hazards.

As they shift to a more adventurous tale, they relive the time Iggy tried to assert his dominance over some local rabbits in their yard. In a display of bravado, Iggy chased a bunny, leaping over a small fence only to immediately pull up with what can only be described as a "doggy oh-no" moment. Turns out, the poor pup blew out his ACL mid-chase. The hosts humorously recount the expensive vet bill and their internal debate over whether to opt for doggy surgery or a miniature chariot for Iggy. The ordeal led them to install a dog run to keep Iggy in check, protect their tortoises from poop-snacking, and, of course, avoid any more rabbit-chasing ACL disasters.

In this chaotic, laugh-filled episode of Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy, Kiki dives into her growing impatience with Cowboy's antics, fueled by some turkish coffee on his part. But the fun doesn't stop there—Cowboy randomly throws in a reference to "Redrum" from The Shining, while Kiki is left completely puzzled, reminding us all that she despises horror movies.

The pair bounce from movie references to horror genre talk, with Kiki lamenting her distaste for modern jump-scare flicks. Cowboy, ever the troublemaker, tries to push her patience to its limits by randomly steering the conversation toward Turkish coffee, an unexpected segue from their previous episode’s mess of Turkish coffee and "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski. This episode really showcases their ability to derail any sensible conversation, especially once Cowboy shares his Turkish coffee discovery story, starting with his late-in-life introduction to caffeine while working at a high-octane newsroom.

Of course, Kiki's mom plays a key role in the Turkish coffee saga, providing Cowboy with authentic coffee-making equipment, leading to his obsession with the drink. Cowboy describes Turkish coffee like it's a sacred ritual—heated with sand, super frothy, and small but potent enough to fuel a news broadcast crew. Meanwhile, Kiki is just trying to keep up as Cowboy babbles about emulsified textures and the science behind the caffeine hit.

Between tales of botched taste tests and Cowboy’s obsessive coffee-making routines, it’s clear that these two can’t stay on track for more than a few minutes—whether they’re talking about Stanley Kubrick or the intricacies of brewing the perfect Turkish coffee. With endless distractions and laughs, this podcast episode feels more like a caffeine-fueled ride through Kiki and Cowboy’s misadventurous minds than any coherent conversation!

In this hilarious episode of Misadventures with Cowboy and Kiki, the dynamic duo kicks off the show with their signature randomness, joking about doing an entire episode of "openers" followed by an episode of "closers." They stumble into a conversation about unique names, with Kiki poking fun at Cowboy's cluelessness, all while Cowboy attempts to crack a classic sixth-grade joke about catching a unique rabbit.

They reminisce about childhoods filled with name-related mischief, particularly the struggle of having names that spark unwanted attention. Cowboy’s name, which is as common as "dude," leads to a nostalgic tale of being confused by a stranger who dramatically yelled “Dude!” at him on the streets of Austin—only to ask for a quarter in the end. As the conversation progresses, Kiki shares her own struggle with wanting to simplify her name as a child but later growing to embrace its uniqueness. The pair bond over the quirks of their names, leading to a memorable story about Cowboy’s encounter with another “Dude” at a conference.

The excitement of meeting a name twin is quickly dashed when Cowboy smugly asks, “But is that your real name?”—only to learn that “Dude” was just a nickname, and the man's actual name was Delmar. This leads to a hilarious exploration of how certain names, like Richard to Dick, can lead to nicknames, but there is no clear origin for “Dude”—except for maybe the rare "Deuteronomy." By the end of the episode, Cowboy and Kiki are in full comedic flow, with Kiki riffing on Cowboy’s coffee-fueled hyperactivity and questioning whether he’s secretly indulging in some extra "herbal supplements." The episode wraps up with an open question to the audience: “Is there really a name that shortens to Dude?” The chaotic energy, random tangents, and non-stop banter make this episode an absolute comedic ride, showcasing Cowboy and Kiki’s unmatched chemistry and ability to turn the simplest topics into laugh-out-loud moments.
