  <description>It seems like dating after getting into a committed relationship should be a simple thing. We’ve found that not to be the case, especially in the weird dynamic of choosing a restaurant. Why is this so difficult for so many couples? And we were no exception to this problem, at least for a while. 
In this conversation we discuss some ways to make dating a little easier: tools for establishing expectations, listening to each other's needs and figuring out the purpose of a date night, how needs for time spent together change over time, and how sometimes a restaurant choice is so much more about the experience you have as a couple than it is about the food that’s coming to your table.
We end with a rapid fire list of restaurants across the Treasure Valley to help you narrow down your next night out on the town.

This was her most popular live to date and according to the hundreds of messages and DM’s she received, definitely resonated with people. Seeing the difference between “Christ-Like Christians” and “Pitchfork Christians” has allowed her to move forward with less fear. She offers this clarification in hopes to give words to those struggling with cruelty within religion.

  <itunes:subtitle>How do we handle difficult conversations when opinions differ? It’s been clear for a while that Idaho, and the rest of the United States, have struggled to come to the table on divisive topics. Whether it’s in political debates, or around the kitchen table. 

In this episode, we talk with local Alexis Morgan, an Organizational Culture Consultant about this disconnect. Alexis and Shane come with their extensive backgrounds in Organizational Development and Natalie with 15 years of working in social media. We pull many ideas from the book “Crucial Conversations” Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High.

  <itunes:subtitle>Idaho has a lot of historical spots, but often they are not very accessible unless you’re ready to really put in some serious effort. 

Shane and Mark Iverson of Idahistory decided they were going to spend a weekend getting to some of the hardest to reach ghost mines. (Natalie wasn’t thrilled as she is 100% sure the mines are haunted.) 

Some of their exploration include the Sunken ghost town of Roosevelt...under Lake Roosevelt, Dewey Mine, Sunnyside, Stibnite, Yellow Pine Pit Mine and Thunder Mountain City. All part of the Thunder Mountain Mining District.

They come together to geek out a little bit about what they found. We also chat about Idahistory’s new book “Murder &amp; Mayhem In Boise”. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>A lot of us in the Treasure Valley are looking at the housing market and economy and just asking “What the F**k?”. We decided to invite back experienced Real Estate investor and Idaho Realtor Jesse Taff to follow up from our 2021 conversation. Also joining us is mortgage and loan specialist Bryce Gonser. 

Together we chat about interest rates, the accurate definition of a recession, and this swift change from a sellers market to a buyers market. We chat directly about the thought of waiting out the bubble for stabilization, and they give their thoughts on whether that stabilization has happened. 

We ask the question on many people minds: “Is the American dream still available?”. 
Clearly homeownership and retirement are no longer low hanging fruit.</itunes:subtitle>

In this episode we are taking with Michael Slavin and Kaitlin Charles from L3 Group, two of the developers behind the Meridian project “Orchard Park” and Garden City’s “Casino Beach”.

We chat how their upbringings in Idaho and then careers in larger metropolises influence their visions for these projects. And we discuss specifically the culture of Meridian, and it’s own unique needs. 

We even get a sneak peek at some of the businesses and offerings of “Orchard Park” along with a tease of an upcoming “private member club”, inspired by a desire to connect in a spirit of curiosity. </itunes:subtitle>

<p>We talk about extremely important issues like pineapple on pizza, the audacity of not returning a shopping cart, when it’s OK to call out poor service and how Joey describes the ultimate manly man.</p>

<p>Also a discussion on why Shane and Natalie sleep in separate rooms and highly recommend. </p>

<p>It’s a fun conversation to be sure. Makes sense, they do this for a living. </p>]]>

In this first conversation we decided not to delve deep into specific history, but more so discuss WHY history. The importance of learning the lessons of humanity’s past and the dangers of marginalizing others. Our discussion touches on trends of migration in America and the search for the American dream. We discuss how knowing history’s patterns and listening for both sides can bring us a better understanding in current situations. And how many of these universal trends can be found right here in Idaho. We sit down together to set a foundation for future conversations about Idaho history. And how we can use those lessons as tools moving forward.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>It’s the 10 year anniversary of Boise‘s biggest music fest! Treefort Music Fest is a killer city-wide showcase of what makes Idaho and Boise amazing: music, food, drink, art, stories, kids events, and even yoga! It's such a local staple that the city of Boise honored it with the title of "Cultural Ambassador" in 2015.

We’re talking with Treefort Music Fest PR director Marissa Lovell about exciting happenings at the festival this year. From the most anticipated bands, to new ways to volunteer and some of the big changes in store. And Natalie’s fav Treefort moment from 2021. (It may include a streaking artist.)

Also - The Boise Bubble Podcast is recording at Treefort LIVE this year! 

If you are still wondering a little bit about what Treefort is all about, we recommend you first listen to Episode 16 “How to Treefort” for all the basics. It’s a summary of how Treefort came to be one of Boise‘s most epic offerings, and how to go about enjoying it. Guests include Marissa Lovell and Treefort Co-founder Megan Stoll.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>On this episode we talk WINTER in Idaho with Sophia Doumani of the TV series “Hidden Gems in The Gem State”. A lot of people think of skiing when it comes to Idaho in the winter, but there are so many more ways to enjoy the season. From ice castles to sand dunes, elk sleigh rides to dog mushing, eastern Idaho to Caldwell. Idaho offers a lot of winter adventures (and misadventures) and we discuss some of the best! We find out how Shane winter camps (apparently Natalie is not a fan), what it’s like to start a TV show from scratch, how Sophia had never seen a “wild” Christmas tree before moving to Idaho, and we ask the question on everyone’s mind: what exactly is the “JUMP! Building” in Downtown Boise? (Spoiler- we really don’t know) A great listen to start the winter season.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:author>Shane Plummer</itunes:author>
  <itunes:subtitle>We have a lot of pretty interesting couples in the Treasure Valley, and we thought it was about time we get to know some of them. Basically a double date… in the studio!

This episode we meet with Corbin and Sam Maxey! 

Corbin is an exotic animal expert and local celebrity. You may recognize him from the Tonight Show, the Today show, Martha Stewart and many more national appearances. He has huge YouTube and Tiktok presences, keeping people entertained with raising his animals. 

Sam Maxey is known throughout the Valley as the Genius behind “Snake River Wine Tours” - recently named USA Today Top Ten Wine Tour. Shane and I are huge fans. As is everyone that goes on one! 

We dig into this couple’s dynamic and ask some of our own burning questions. For example, what it’s like to marry a man who raises exotic animals for a living? How is constantly driving drunk people around the Treasure Valley? And what really is inside the Barbacoa men’s bathroom?

Enjoy!</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>If you're under the age of 80 and don't inherently enjoy deception and battle, then buying a car is likely not at the top of your list of ways to have fun.

In this episode we speak with local car sales veteran Ivan Suquet from Audi of Boise, who offers insight into all things car-buying in the Treasure Valley. You'll just enjoy listening to his made-for-radio voice, but he also talks us through how dealerships price cars, how to negotiate with them, tips for buying, insight on why cars are so expensive and in short supply right now, and some of the sci-fi features that are starting to roll out on new cars these days.

It's such a local staple that the city of Boise honored it with the title of "Cultural Ambassador" in 2015. As amazing an event as it is, it's also a little intimidating trying to figure out how to experience it.

  <itunes:subtitle>Ikea. Nordstrom. IN-N-OUT! 

Living in the fastest growing city in America means….development! In this second installment of our conversation with Boise Dev’s Don Day, we chat about what development is coming to the Boise area. Which national businesses he expects to see. And those he does not plan on heading our direction. We discuss the new growth in Meridian Downtown including it’s new urban living center, Old Town Lofts. We chat about our favorite new 8th Street Restaurant, news on Topgolf and “The Boardwalk” - the newest project to come to Garden City. 


Also… what’s happening with the huge field on Fairview and Eagle across from The Village at Meridian? We also talk on on the multifaceted issue of affordable housing in the Treasure Valley.


After the episode, keep listening. We have a bonus micro episode with Marc, the Volkswagen of Boise’s fun coordinator. He was a REALLY bad salesman. And he tells us why. ;)</itunes:subtitle>
