The personal podcast of Mark "Bear" Pannell and friends. Every other Wednesday, we talk about life, love, music, relationships, and religion. Sometimes we get distracted. That’s OK too.
Forgive our two-and-a-half month hiatus. It was unplanned and we'll do our best to get back on our biweekly release schedule. But we're back!
On this episode, we discuss children's shows that may or may not be for children, unexpected great experiences, and relationship dealbreakers and attractive traits. Confidence is in, jealousy and insecurity are out. Jennifer doesn't need to share all of her favorite activities, Bear loves to experience live music with the person he loves the most.
We unlock childhood core memories about family trips, birthday lobster, and Dairy Queen. Bill Knapp's was for the seniors, but Olive Garden is somehow worse.

Episode 4: The Wrong Trousers
This week on the old podcast, the dog interrupts the recording. Again. Jennifer and Bear talk about 1995, why group chats are a special kind of Hell, The Amazing Digital Circus, and Wallace & Gromit. Bear might move to Italy and renounce his U.S. citizenship and Jennifer is dreading flying during the current TSA mess. Topics also include our favorite airports, Bear's first marriage, and reminiscing about our twenties. Also, Jason Bateman can do no wrong.
We'll be back next week with Melissa to talk about faith in Episode 4.5. Don't want to hear all that God talk? Come back in two weeks for Episode 5 with Jennifer. Thanks for listening!

Episode 3.5: Light & Comfort
It's a half episode. Brace yourselves. It's the "Godcast." Today, Melissa and Bear talk about what it means to allow God to work through you and what it means to listen to the Holy Ghost. Additionally, Bear talks even more about the missionaries and Melissa keeps finding herself exactly where she needs to be exactly when she needs to be there.
We'll be back next week with Jennifer. Thanks for listening!
