Our Family Vacation at Hubbard Lake with Stories You Truly Can't Make Up - 1235

Recorded while hiking through Northern Michigan this past Patreon episode is pure family chaos and nostalgia. Chalene and Bret swap stories about wakeboarding delays, indecisive dinner plans, and the perfectly unorganized rhythm of Chalene's family at Hubbard Lake. Chalene also shares how her sister met her now-husband at 12, plus the wild chapter when their family bought a ski lodge and turned it into a restaurant, complete with a sous chef who got arrested mid-shift. Between laughs, they reflect on how the environment shapes health, how Gen X freedom compares to Gen Z's screen life, and why parasocial friendships can feel so comforting. It's funny, unfiltered, and very Michigan.
