About this episode

Joy and Claire discuss haircuts, fitness routines, community spaces, and reflect on the impact of Chris Moore's death.

Haircuts, Rec Center Workouts, a Bozeman Concert, and Remembering Chris Moore Joy and Claire catch up on Claire's new haircut, including a subtle side undercut meant as a low-maintenance nod to her former mullet, and her small-town Moab salon experience. They discuss how making friends in a new town can hinge on community spaces. Joy commits to the rec center, explores the weight room, and embraces fun classes like BodyPump rather than rigid “should” rules about fitness. Joy shares gardening projects as a coping outlet, her interest in quirky workouts like Kangoo Jumps, and a question about Trader Joe’s small talk. Updates include a new puppy-raising dog, McCoy, Moab’s sudden heat and the dogs’ sunbathing, a Montana trip to Bozeman for a Marcus Mumford concert disrupted by very drunk attendees, upcoming travel and Pride event help in Lincoln, and a reflection on the 10-year anniversary of Barbell Shrugged host Chris Moore’s sudden death and the impact of their final interview. 00:00 Welcome and No Chat 00:36 New Haircut and Undercut 01:25 Mullet Nostalgia and Styling 03:41 Peloton Hair Inspiration 04:40 Moab Salon Behind Gelato 05:53 Small Town Friend Talk Bagels 08:10 No Church…
