    Episode 25 was a blast with a brand new Booze Review (with a scoring system created by our "Marketing Dept."), a fan suggested What The Hell Is Wrong With People and we switched up the Night and Day Rapid Fire a little bit this time as well. Lots of laughs and great stories to listen to on this episode. Give it a listen.

    Episode 24 is coming in hot with a new segment we are trying out called "Booze Reviews". We chat about charity donations, failed birthing plans, and of course we pull out the What The Hell Is Wrong With People and this episode we flip the switch and Alanna hits PJ with the Night and Day Rapid Fire.

Good Content Good Quality!

The Reverend gave them a shout out on LHRL, then I saw the hosts Finnish (correct me if I’m wrong) last name and I had to check it out.

Great podcast, keep it up!

REAL

I heard about the Night & Day Podcast on the Lift Heavy Run Long Podcast. This is a very Real couple who speak about real stuff. It is refreshing to hear good dialogue between two people who are clearly very different.
Funny, entertaining but most of all...real!
Keep up the good work guys!

New Listener and Love the Show!

Came across the show on a Facebook group. I really enjoy the real conversation. I'm a long time CrossFitter so it's a lot of fun to hear them talk about their experiences at the gym and upcoming competitions. The sound quality is awesome too and that makes a big difference. Can't wait for more episodes to drop!
