The Life of Spaguyswife

Summer is keeping us busy, Rod is working way too hard and Chrystal can’ t get anything done while the kids are home. This episode includes a Midori Challenge, Chrystal burns the kids to a crisp, a family weekend trip to the cabin and the Spa People are disgruntled with a neighbour and the neighbourhood. Chrystal has an incident with the van, Rod goes to a paint ball stag and no summer is complete without a wedding. The Canadian segment includes three new words, a long standing Quebec law is about to be overturned and there is a foot update complete with a new song.

It’s a pre-Father’s Day episode and I forgot to ask “What is the one thing that Dad’s rate higher in than Mom’s?” Answer in Episode 26 or give us a call with what you think it is! There is a Daddy themed beverage, a comedy sketch and a song for those special Dad’s doing it all on their own. The kids have been sick but got creative while home from school, we have two new babies in the Spa home, Rod has a new GPS and the new van has been ordered. Chrystal faces further problems with the English language and Rod has been approached to sell spa products from overseas. The Vancouver Aquarium has a new baby beluga, The BC Government is giving all it’s residents $100 to help ease a new tax, Chrystal is disgusted over the actions of some stupid Alberta teens and Rod offers up dog training tips, compliments of a customer.

The Spa People were determined to record and would not let the blue screen of death or the time of day stop them. Chrystal tries to discuss her doctor’s appointment, Rod has a bit of a pool boy rant and the reality segment comes to an end (for now). Right feet are washing up on the shores of B.C., Tim Horton’s keep screwing up and some International inquiries about life in Canada.

This week the Spa People recorded before 10:00 p.m., are long winded and pretty mellow. A new pet is on the horizon, Chrystal is busy juggling a crazy day so she can go gamble in the States, Rod wishes his customers would start being proactive and tickets to the Expo in Vegas are booked!! Further discussions include long weekend plans, a question about Leopard, an IKEA purchase, Rod’s ongoing Call of Duty and GTA4 update and Chrystal LOVES Rock Band. Wonderful feedback from new listeners and old, too much Canadian useless info and don’t worry folks, the Reality Show Update has almost ended! If you want to see the Bay City Rollers album cover, as requested by the Lovely Lorna, please click on the photos link at the top of the blog! Apologies to Charles from Desperate husbands who submitted feedback via Skype and we forgot to mention it!

It’s the almost everything Beaver episode! There are Beaver drinks, Beaver chats and Beaver facts! The Spa People have been very busy but are back to discuss The Vancouver Sun Run, Chrystal’s social life, their kids pool party in the rain and Rod’s discovery that the Bay City Rollers are commando on their album cover. Another episode of Porta Party Chat is featured and the burning question of “How is Rod’s Ass?” is answered.

Today was the 24th Vancouver Sun Run with a record 59,000 plus people in attendance. It was chilly but clear, we walked more than we ran but I absolutely loved the experience.

What can we say, the title pretty much sums it up. The Spaboy has a sore ass for reasons unknown and we are in renovation hell. It’s Spring, yet snowing, and Chrystal is up to her eyeballs in kid activities and is preparing for the Vancouver Sun Run. We do manage to move away from the status of Rod’s butt long enough to investigate the origins of the word Canuck and introduce a new segment to the show “Porta Party Chat.” The inaugural episode features Grass Management insight with our neighbour, “Lawnboy.” We also received lots of feedback from new listeners and old! Keep it coming guys, we always love to hear from you.

Brain Hemorrhage
3/4 Peach Schnapps, 1/4 Baileys and a drop of Grenadine. Pour the Peach Schnapps into a shot glass first and then, using a spoon, layer the Baileys on top so it collects in one spot. Now add a drop of grenadine to finish off the effect. Enjoy!

Welcome to the train wreck known as episode 20. The drink feature is the Mind Eraser and it definitely worked. Chrystal can’t stop saying a word that she knows she says too much and Rod heads off to tangents unknown! The vehicle update focuses on Chrystal this week, she is in kid activity hell and had a blast at the Foreigner concert. Rod has been upgrading his office and Vancouverites bid adieu to the Canucks this hockey season! The Reality TV update continues with great roving reporter comments and we share a new Canadian word.

 #020 Anyway, Anyhoo... [57:42m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

An innocent voicemail causes Chrystal a lot of embarrassment but great fun for a fellow podcaster! This show discusses Chrystal’s trip to Vancouver Island and Rod’s bachelor time while the family is away. Other events cause Chrystal further humiliation and the Spa People feature chicken related beverages. Grandma turns 90, crime stats are shared in the Canadian Segment and the Reality TV recap features a very special, roving reporter.

Thanks to everyone who voted for us at the Podcast Peer Awards, your support means more to us than you’ll ever know and a big thank you to Sim at Utterz for the package of goodies!
