Serendipity at The Moth, Pictured Rocks & Paddle Games
Questions or Comments: Slip It In Here! Sometimes the unexpected turn is the whole story. Matty’s first trip to The Moth in Detroit starts with a StorySLAM built around serendipity and leaves him thinking differently about storytelling, while JJ returns from his first trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula genuinely blown away by Pictured Rocks, kayaking on Lake Superior and just how far Michigan can feel from home. The Michigan appreciation continues with Matty walking the new Gordie Howe International Bridge before Baby Kitten Fishing makes its return, this time with paddles. Matty throws out everyday half-truths and Megan and JJ have to decide whether each one qualifies as Baby Kitten, full Kitten or something else entirely, including the gossiping mom who “doesn’t gossip,” the vegetarian who eats bacon, “I’m basically ready,” someone else’s boat and some very questionable dating-profile math. Matty also brings YSL MYSLF Eau de Parfum to the table before this week’s Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs cover Colleen Hoover’s Verity, excessive DoorDash notifications, a J.Crew pricing win, someone paying with a bag of change at Trader Joe’s, the Woodward Dream Cruise and the surprisingly divisive phrase “picky choosy.” In this episode: • Matty’s first Moth StorySLAM and the theme of serendipity • JJ’s first trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Pictured Rocks • Kayaking Lake Superior and a stop at Mackinac Island • Matty walking the new Gordie Howe International Bridge • Why Michigan suddenly gets a lot of appreciation around the table • The return of Baby Kitten Fishing as a paddle game • Dating-profile height, bacon-eating vegetarians and “I’m basically ready” • YSL MYSLF Eau de Parfum • Colleen Hoover’s Verity • DoorDash notifications, J.Crew pricing and Trader Joe’s pennies • The Woodward Dream Cruise • “Picky choosy,” “however, comma” and this week’s Slip It Ins and Pull It Outs Follow and listen to Slip It In Podcast everywhere: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube & all major podcast platforms; Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads & X.
