Spin Class, Sleepless Misadventures, and Personality Quizzes

Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy

In this episode of "Misadventures with Kiki and Cowboy," our duo dives into the chaos of their sleepless nights, turning their sleep-deprived woes into a comedy goldmine. Cowboy starts by admitting that a Sunday night turned into a sleepless marathon, all thanks to a late-night B12 vitamin and the anticipation of Monday morning mental gymnastics. Meanwhile, Kiki's childhood habit of memory of spinning in circles sparks a hilarious comparison to her kids' misconception of spin class as literal spinning until you drop.

As the conversation spirals, Cowboy reveals his nightly battles with Kiki's mysterious sleep-kicking habit, which has him dodging intermittent blanket attacks every 30 seconds. The comic relief continues with Cowboy's escape to the living room, only to be thwarted by their young adult's 2:30 a.m. toast-making escapades. The couple discusses the concept of "sleep hygiene" (safe search activated), which leads to a nostalgic tale of their son's windowless media room nursery to block out the first rays of dawn.

Then our dynamic duo dives headfirst into the chaotic world of corporate personality tests. Kiki, ever the overachiever, recently took the CliftonStrengths test for work and found herself lost in a labyrinth of ambiguous questions and ticking clocks. Cowboy, naturally skeptical of anything that isn’t ranch-related, couldn’t resist cow-poking fun at the idea of a test that claims to decode human complexity with a set of timed questions and a colorful DNA strand graphic.

The hilarity peaks as Kiki recounts her struggle to choose between equally appealing options like "I plan every move" versus "I trust my gut feeling," only to end up repeatedly selecting neutral and getting timed out. Her test results, or lack thereof, came with a warning that read more like a passive-aggressive note from a disappointed teacher. Meanwhile, Cowboy offers sage advice on trusting one’s gut, especially when inflating car tires in the dark. The episode concludes with Kiki proudly announcing she might have broken the personality test, leaving listeners in stitches and Cowboy shaking his head in bemusement.
