Chuck's Mom from KY

#045 Delivery to the ICU Mom receives a neighbor's grocery delivery but is too afraid to call the office about it. I e-mail and call on her behalf.

#029 Girls Choir 10/01/2025

#029 Girls Choir In this episode, Mom bounces from TV reruns to wild celebrity gossip, insisting Luke Bryan once texted her and Paul McCartney might need an Apple gift card.

Along the way, we revisit Kay’s health battles, a Capital One scam, and even the passing of a close friend she called “like a daughter.” It’s part comedy, part chaos, and part heartache — a snapshot of daily life with Mom that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
