Ramble by the River with Jeff Nesbitt brings you an entertaining and informative episode that features a 4-speaker conversation with two married couples, the Nesbitts and the Chalkers. Jeff and Colten have been friends for over 30 years, while Melissa and Hannah have been friends for over 10 years. The podcast is comedy-centered, with an emphasis on authenticity and human connection, which makes for a comfortable and engaging conversation that allows the guests to reveal themselves in surprising ways.
The podcast starts with a skit written by OpenAI’s ChatGPT and ends with a hilarious story about Colten forcing a beloved teacher into retirement, and his high school principal offering some supportive advice regarding his choice of underwear. In between, Jeff brings out a deck of question cards that spark some deep and personal conversations about topics like pregnancy, fertility, IVF, and the pros and cons of having athletic children. The conversation touches on many other themes, including fears, phobias, pet peeves, and the minefield of child discipline.
The discussion also delves into some important and topical issues, such as the power of belief, the screen time debate, and the hidden advantages of early-risers. The guests also share their thoughts on cross-fit and the question of whether pregnant women should compete in it, as well as the age-old debate about video games and their impact on children. They also explore issues related to education, such as adult literacy, childhood development, and the use of technology in remote learning.
