Mindy, SO MUCH RESPECT for the BME. It's one of the most rigorous degrees out there followed by a highly demanding job. Many don't understand the workload of ensembles, lessons, juries, and proficiencies. I finished my degree in music, but dropped the education bit my junior year when I realized I couldn't see myself in a classroom for the rest of my life (or honestly at all!). It takes a special person to be an educator, especially a music educator. You've got my sub out of solidarity. I hope you still find time to sing ❤

[@lorahhoe3112]

I love that you both felt the call to be at home with your families AND run your own businesses. You both are inspirational. Please do more podcasts together ❤️

[@sarasounds2389]

The two of you have had such a positive influence in my life!! Christine is more of like a friend to me and Mindy is more of a mom to me. Lol Thank you for doing what you do. ❤️

[@torih5766]

Please please do more videos together! You are two of my favourite channels to watch. This video simply made me smile!!!! Thank you.

[@marciemceachern]

I love watching both of you, and Mindy, I'm so excited to learn you're a fellow adoptive mom. Keep up producing such great content!

[@megankuchta9145]

Omg nothing like fresh ice cream. I take my kids to a Mennonite dairy for ice cream every Saturday. It’s such a treat. I feel you on Wicked. I eventually saw it on Broadway because I was chaperoning a high school trip to New York. I liked it so much more than I expected.

[@hhon8938]

This was such a fabulous podcast epi- and I really appreciate the recording of you guys talking as well!!! Thank Christine for starting this and I hope you, yours and the KZbin fam has a healthy happy and fabulous new year!!! Here’s to more great strides in this thing called life this year yallz!

[@betterlivingonabudget]

I am SO loving your podcast!! FFM channel was the first one I watched when I got into YT, and then I found SMM, and was like, "I love these channels, I wish they'd post every dayyyy!!!!" You're both still in my top 3 faves, now three years down the road. Thanks for all your hard work, sharing your ideas and lives with us!!

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

How the heck did I miss this? I remember it being on my to do when I was freed up with time, and somehow forgot it existed. I am so glad I just found it again. And no one looked up the burger? It sounds too amazing not to look it up, so I did... it's the Chillerno. Ladies your last meal choices are fantastic.

[@sherrigoynes6441]

Love both of your channels! So glad I found y’all

[@pennyrasnake1401]

I follow you both and loved this conversation so much! Thank you for the kind of work you do and the inspiration that you both are to so many of us.

[@functionliving]

I knew you were two different people, but I was like, you two remind me of each other. I think it's your voice, energy, and personalities they both are great.

[@justtee1259]

i’m fangirling over the fact you have made a podcast together , i to made that mistake and followed you both , greetings from nz

[@blciffa]

I love you two! Never thought you were related but so funny to see that come up a few times in recent videos. ❤ I think you’re both so wholesome and great content that’s practical and helpful. ❤❤❤

[@lifebeyondthesalary2458]

It’s the mannerisms. That’s why people think y’all might be family. Y’all have A LOT of the same mannerisms/speech etc. I noticed it yesterday when listening just to Mindy Mom. Love you both!

[@frugalfoodfamily]

You two are my fav! Fun to see y'all together. You've both entertained me while I'm doing the dishes and through some tough times.

[@jenniferkrantz7561]

I just listened today thinking it was Tuesday 😂 loved it! The 2 of you are my first (and favorite) people I subscribed to.

[@shannong1375]

I love Mindy’s vlogs! Great seeing you two together. My two favorite channels colliding 😊

[@Crystal-il3jl]

I just discovered Mindy recently. Shes great!

[@tanyafulton583]

Two of my favorites. I found this very interesting. And yes, it's sad what's happening in education today and how teachers are fleeing from it. Retired teacher here.

[@suzannaamos8687]

I could listen to both of you all day! Love both of your videos! Have gotten great ideas and recipes from both!❤️

[@NOVAFrugalFamily]

Totally understand the hardest part being able explain that you need to work during the day. It doesn’t make sense that other people think that they can determine what you can do. I had the same problem working from home in sales. You two are both so fun!

[@gabriellebarbir7039]

Love love love the vlogs, Mindy!! Bring them back 🎉🎉🎉

[@kimbarbeaureads]

19:00 -Christine confessing that she doesn't watch Jen or Mindy. 😁 Lol I'm glad you are making good money now. The big video paydays are backed wages for the years of work beforehand. ❤️ I'm not sure if it's because I'm fasting today, but that Liberty Burger sounds awesome. I'm not sure that I would drive for a day and a half for it, but I bet I could make something similar. To the shopping list, Batman!

[@cassidiroberts6473]

Yes! We want video podcasts! 😊

[@marciemceachern]

Also, we loved Liberty Burger in Jackson, too! 🍔❤

[@cookshackcuisinista]

A beautiful "togetherness!" Great work girls!

[@corinnespanelewski4732]

I just found See Mindy Mom channel last week. Love both of your channels. You both have fun personalities I can see why people would think your related.

[@heathermc5557]

You are both great! Nice to see Mindy here… more strong positive woman on the podcast!!

[@shana91212]

I think it’s the voices and inflections more than the looks for twinning.

[@suzanneanderson8152]

Mama Mia at the high school I work at was amazing!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I love both your channels! Thank you

[@aprilstiek7430]

Love Nerd of the Rings channel!!!!!!!

[@andreadavis9730]

This was awesome. My husband watches" nerd of the rings" and "upon fryer review" too. I'll watch with him sometimes and it's fun. 😊 😉

[@sjhirst3]

I watch you both, and I love you both. I check out the KZbin channels yall mention, both in this podcast and in your videos. I've found some great people to watch that way. I thought it was cool Mindy mentioned Upon Friar Review. My husband watches it, so I end up semi-watching it. Those guys are cool. I recently watched them discuss the showm The Chosen. It's a very good show that I highly recommend. I'm a work at home mom of 4 and watch KZbin while working. I do appreciate all that you both do. I realize that it's your job, but I feel that you both go above and beyond to help your viewers. You both succeed. ❤️

[@tashainjena]

I've seen the Friar Review channel! The reviewed Sister Act. It was so funny.

[@AWordofHope]

I love you guys doing things together ❤ oh I love watching Cash he does a great job.

[@robiniles3685]

My top two favourite KZbinrs!

[@jillgott6567]

What an enjoyable conversation. You ladies are both well spoken, informative, and easy to listen to. I like different channels and read some of Tolkien's Lord of The Rings series so I subscribed to the Netds of Channel. Thanks Mindy for mentioning it. How do the youtubers get to know each other ?

[@irmapatino167]

Love you both!!

[@tammyhaase7574]

My two favorite you tubers!

[@audreyrobles1505]

My mom was listening to you while she was napping in the car, and mistook your voice for mine. 😂

[@crybebebunny]

WoW, I had the ideal that, being a subscriber help your channels. Now, I going to start ghost watching, to help the channels that I enjoy and don't have time to watch on the regular.

[@hatcherhomestead]

Have y'all ever been to a production from Sight and Sound Theaters? There is one in Lancaster, PA and Branson, MO. If you haven't, its a definite bucket list item! Super fun

[@madamkiwi1094]

Loved watching you both

[@jennifermackie2913]

Hah...I love Cash Jordan videos. He puts out a new one 6 days a week.

[@mrsbravo728]

"I can never remember their ages, they keep changing" 🤣🤣 luckily my niece, 2 nephews and my son are all the same age. It's just all of the birthdays I have trouble with remembering

[@MegVanAbi]

I totally thought you were one in the same when I first starting seeing both of your videos. 😂

[@jenniferlisow2901]

Love this podcast! Both of you guys are my favorite KZbinrs! Even though your content is similar, you both have such unique & positive personalities. I don't see the resemblance physically. Perhaps if Christine cut her hair like Mindy & wore big glasses, then maybe🤷‍♀️. I am like Christine, I love music, theater, etc, but I have no musical or acting talent, just a passionate patron. Keep up the podcasts & and videos, ladies! You both rock!

[@cookshackcuisinista]

With regards to people thinking you don't have a regular job because you are KZbinrs, maybe you girls need to make a video as to the steps required in making a video and lay it all out for each of your channels. Knowledge is power!

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Oh my gosh, I've been to Liberty Burger in Jackson...it is the BOMB. 😋😋😋

[@joannaroth1116]

I'm from Idaho I assume you don't have a winco. Also shout out to Ashton ID Big Judds

[@muzikl96]

It's the smiley spoon! ❤️🤣

[@maria_w311]

Hi Christine & Mindy 👋

[@lithottamera6089]

Great video

[@plantbasedpanda7355]

Do you have any advice for introverts who would like to get into KZbin? I’m a people person but am definitely listen more than I talk!

[@Saras_place]

You're both are in person inspirational amazing women thank you for this vlog Right now I'm homeschooling teenagers I'm trying to figure out what a thesis is it is not easy I've been fighting a lot of answers on KZbin though I feel like I'm not good at English at all and I'm not good at algebra but I'm good at everything else in between the easy stuff Plus I'm working part-time so does make it a little challenging but I like the challenge it's a motivation.. We started a KZbin channel just for something fun to do so check it out if you get a chance but I love watching your guys's channel

[@GardeningWarrior]

I am just now seeing this. I have often wondered if you two were sisters..lol .

[@abilyn3287]

2 of my favs

[@diannabaggett1372]

I love the podcasts

[@AndrielleHillis]

Blue Bell is okay. Prefer Golden Rim if I can't have Brahm's.

[@Thatgeekishfamily]

Christine - I dropped a freshman english class because I was assigned the Metamorphosis and couldn't change, and I refused to waste my life writing a paper on that book. I HATED it.

[@Becka034]

You both are 2 of my favorite youtubers, and this was a great convo! Thanks for all you both do. I know you work hard being youtubers! Your videos are incredibly inspiring!

[@debbieandrews9619]

You two are great role models for moms.

[@chelseareviews300]

Tillamook Ice Cream is the best!

[@andielliott7721]

And I left the classroom 13 years ago and never looked back......

[@thefrugallife]

I don’t think Bluebell is worth the hype, but Reed’s 💯 is worth it

[@julidavis3565]

I too have no interest in seeing Wicked. I think the music is awful. Ragtime is a must see. Also love A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, as well as Rock of Ages. Color Purple is amazing too.

[@JulsMWK1995]

You don’t look alike at all. But I have a gift remembering faces so I don’t get faces mixed up like other people.

[@carlagribi6142]

Your hair is long
