🎙️ Welcome to Season 8 of Downhill Fast: Where the T-Rex Costume Struggles Are Real, But the Laughs Are Even Realer! 🦖🤣
It's a Thanksgiving extravaganza as Tamara finally unveils her highly-anticipated T-Rex costume pic, and let's just say it's more like a dino-disappointment. But fear not, because Rheannon's amazing wife, our behind-the-scenes superhero, steps into the spotlight this week to tackle Tamara's movie-related queries—or at least tries to between the tangents.
This episode is a rollercoaster of randomness, from workout challenges that may or may not lead to a fitness triumph (who will be crowned the ultimate champ?) to Tamara multitasking with a dinner "potpie" in the oven—spoiler alert: things got a little toasty.
In the midst of all the chaos, volcanoes make a guest appearance because, you know, global activity is trending. And speaking of trends, the struggle is real when it comes to finding a show to watch. Do you spend more time scrolling through options or actually watching something? The eternal dilemma.
But fear not, the dynamic duo of Rheannon and Tamara master the art of wrangling the podcast back on track, even as Tamara's dinner threatens to steal the show. And let's not forget, Rheannon's ongoing deck project is like a slow-cooked masterpiece, gradually coming together with each hammer swing and paint stroke.
Get ready for laughs, questionable culinary choices, and a podcast that's more unpredictable than Tamara's T-Rex costume. Season 8 of Downhill Fast is here, and it's off to a blazing start—potpies, volcanoes, and all! 🚀🍗 #DownhillFastPod #Season8Shenanigans

This episode kicks off with two Moms and a baby settling in to podcast. Tamara shares her adventures from the Blue Lagoon. She loved it and enjoyed some relaxing in between flights.

Amazing concert that did end at midnight, and it was a light night getting back to Copenhagen. Amazing trip, that only went downhill fast just a little.

She is really having a lot of fun cheering on her friend's kid yelling and getting into the game. Being back in a town that Tamara had played soccer in brought back a lot of memories. Specifically, a time that her team got in a fight with the other team. Rheannon has a lot of questions about how Tamara's car hunt is going. Tamara and Rheannon are both loving the same TV show.

Season 7 Ep 15: Oh No!! Mods for pizza and diagnosing a shower...
This week's episode kicks off with Tamara and Rheannon realizing they have very different struggles this week. Tamara had a hard time reading a pizza menu in a drive through window due to very small print. Rheannon was in the middle of a relaxing shower when the shower started to back up. Tamara wouldn't even know how to begin diagnosing that kind of problem. It seems especially upsetting since you are naked and covered in soap to suddenly have a job to do. Timing gets a little off with some technical difficulties. Tamara gets called on to help kill a spider at work, and she fails to kill the spider. She might not be called on again to kill a spider. Rheannon questions Tamara trying to compare spider killing to hunting. It might be a stretch, and lets just say it will go downhill fast much like this episode.

This week's episode includes a special guest! Rheannon's childhood friend joins the podcast to share her historically accurate perspective. A one day trip to Missoula is a rough trip for Rheannon. There was not accurate prep or nearly enough water.

Tamara found herself in an awkward discussion of best way to go about sharing a bagel. The cats in Rheannon's life are adjusting to being outside cats. Tamara was too tired to kill or escort outside a spider, so she found herself keeping an eye on a spider while she brushed her teeth. Much like this episode it goes downhill fast.

Season 7 Ep.11 Producers, Elusive Picasos, Bougie Blue Lagoons
This episode kicks off the new producer having notes. Equipment is being upgraded and it all working towards getting towards perfection. Tamara has been working way too much and is confused how people can put in 80 hour work weeks on the regular. Don't worry Tamara has one eye on her trip this summer to Europe. Weighing options for cruises and visiting Iceland makes the long days and long work weeks a little easier. Rheannon got in her last fishing trip before the baby comes.

Season 7 Ep 10: Tail bobs, baby murder books and long awaited light shows
This new episode kicks off with literal applause as Tamara and Rheannon play with the new sound board. There are lots of buttons and Tamara is very confused by all the buttons and all the possibilities. Diego is recovering from his trip to the vets. Although no one is getting used to his creative tail and paw shaving that was done by the vets. It was done for necessity and Charlie was not sure it was the same cat. After a fun baby shower the fun keeps going as Rheannon is working her way through the baby books. One perhaps with darker humor than you might imagine. Had a blast checking out a giant art instillation with the kids. Had to wait in line with all four nieces and nephews. It could have gone downhill fast, but the kids rallied for ice cream to be on their best behavior.

Rheannon cannot understand why Tamara is okay with a gym hot tub, but not okay with a personal sauna bag. Tamara completely forgets what a tanning bed is called, but luckily Rheannon is there to help. Scary movies have made Tamara nervous of tanning beds and that might be carrying over into the sauna bag. After the last skiing trip, Rheannon celebrated with a family trip to the steak joint. You know it is a good dinner when the kids are asking for a rain check on ice cream for dessert. Tamara had a great brunch with her brother and his family. She then followed that up with lunch on a patio. Rheannon needs Tamara to get an allergy test, and she is going to laugh really hard if she isn't actually allergic to hazelnuts.

Season 7 Ep 8: Adventures to view that lakeside property and snow drifts that just won't quit
Another guest on the podcast this week. Rheannon got into some shenanigans on an adventure and her wife joins the podcast to help tell that story. Tamara is asked to weigh in on this idea of a possible lake front property. Turns out it was an adventure to go look at this property. It was a little alarming to have the highway turn into a road then a gravel road and then a one lane dirt road. The truly alarming part though was the road still having banks of snow on either side. Unfortunately they didn't take the truck, and the car was sliding up the hill. They didn't even get eyes on the property. Luckily they didn't get stuck, and Rheannon had to return the next day with her truck to check it out. Tamara has fun discussing the season finale of The Last of Us. Also, Tamara is happy to report her thoughts on Cunk on Earth. TV recommendations aside this episode goes downhill fast.

Rheannon does her best to help, but Tamara only has questions on where the word comes from. Then we get on a tangent of potatoes and potatoes flower.

Tamara is the odd man out, and find's herself outvoted on whether or not corduroy slippers are cool. This then launches a debate on smile faces and emoji's.

This week's episode kicks off with Tamara and Rheannon having a guest to weigh in on some important topics. The first one being the correct way to say Costco. Tamara is sad to learn that she appears to be the odd one out with the pronunciation of Costco. Although no one can convince her that she has an accent. Next up is a critique of Tamara's review of the spa. Let's just say there might have been a lot more people and a little less relaxing than Tamara might have said. Then Rheannon has a fun update of her birthday present, that she might have opened early. A new challenge has been suggested, but Rheannon is not having any of it. She want's no part of magical morning challenges. Then we get into stories about running with gators and swimming with snakes. Rheannon shares that her dream honeymoon would have involved gators, but her wife shut that down. Gotta love an episode with a guest, and let's just say that it goes downhill fast.

This week episode kicks off with Rheannon sharing her best laid plans for taking a baby skiing. Tamara has lots of questions, and later realizes that maybe she is just an indoor cat that wouldn't want to be out on the mountain every other weekend even without a baby. Babies might be able to nap on a table, but Tamara has questions. Tamara has been loving watching the Last of Us. Rheannon has been watching the show, but she is perhaps the one person who hasn't played the video game. Tamara is wanting Rheannon to get her wife some kind of special gift. Other shows reviewed in this episode is Rizzoli and Isles. Clearly the show would be better if they were a couple, but sadly that goes downhill fast too.

This week's episode kicks off and Rheannon has had a week. Buckets were thrown away and Rheannon doesn't feel bad about it. After weeks of remodeling Rheannon is getting to the end of her rope. She has been going hard for weeks and the shower is just about done. Tamara is alarmed to learn the update of the heating floors. There was a small mix up on when the podcasting was going to happing. Well it depends who you ask, but Tamara continues to claim that it isn't her fault. Tamara would recommend the new Hocus Pocus 2, and Rheannon would also recommend it, but she has only stayed away for about a third of the movie. Rheannon put her hand in bird poop while recording, which was surprising. More surprising was the bird, that was brought in by one of the cats, not only survived, but got to safety and back outside. Let's just say it could have gone downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 23: Surprise meals by mail and the saga of house projects
This week's episode has a couple very tired podcasters. Tamara is tired from chasing around tiny humans. Two year olds just have so much energy, it can be hard to keep up with. Rheannon is tired from the all the shower tiles. Tamara also has a fun update about her massage therapy. It is always a surprise to Tamara when she is called out for her horrible posture by her massage therapist. Rheannon is not sure that Tamara is doing enough to fix her posture. Tamara has an update about the saga that was putting together her IKEA bed. Rheannon challenges Tamara to an internet speed test. Jury is still out on who won. Well, mostly Tamara is not willing to admit defeat. Rheannon's bathroom projects for the remodel just will not end. Tamara came in and helped re-energize the remodel. Smaller tiles is making the shower project take forever, but it is the last big project. Tamara had trouble updating her address for Blue Apron, so she was feeding Rheannon for two weeks.

Season 6 Ep 22: Mortar horror stories and relaxing smokes with grandma
This week's episode was recorded with Tamara and Rheannon together in person again. Out of the gate they might have been pretty proud of themselves not needing tech support. Tamara has come to town to help with the bathroom remodel. There were highs and there were lows, but at the end of the day a lot of progress did happen. Tamara would say that it wasn't her fault. Rheannon definitely turned to a throwing around mortar place. Tamara did her best to manage the chaos. Rheannon took her niece on a birthday fishing trip. It did raise the question of how many snacks are too many snacks. Tamara really had some strong opinions. Although it might go down hill fast , she was once mistaken for smoking with her grandma after a trip to buy snacks.

Season 6 Ep 21: Golden hour tunnel vision is the new quick sand
This weeks episode kicks off with an update from Copenhagen. Rheannon wanted to know out of the gate did Tamara get lost. It was all going fine until the very last step. It was the right train, but just the wrong direction. Tamara shares the adventures from flying first class. Every time Tamara freezes on the screen poor Rheannon is living in a horror film. Rheannon stayed busy fishing while Tamara was out of town. Poor Rheannon's sister got the worst of it fishing by being eaten alive by bugs and being ignored by Rheannon. Tamara can only imagine how hard it was to get Rheannon's attention during the golden hour of fishing. Unfortunately, a family dinner out took a unexpected turn when Rheannon tries to surprise her niece with being sung to for her birthday. Although she might have put on a smile, it might have gone downhill fast, just like this episode.

Season 6 Ep 20: Some assembly may be required are famous last words...
This week's episode kicks of with Rheannon sharing about her new fish finder. The directions explaining some assembly required might be the understatement of the year. She might have been victorious at the end, but it was at the cost of a day of the bathroom remodel. This week Rheannon was happy to report that she found a new tv show. Tamara is willing to give it a chance, but will probably not love the survival show as much as Rheannon does. Rheannon has a solid jump scare when her cat startled her. Tamara had a fun family weekend filled with good food and water games. Rheannon ups the games in her house by adding laser tag. What should have been a fun family game escalated when not everyone was playing by the rules. According to Rheannon Tamara failed an impromptu pop quiz on what to take into the wilderness for a reality show. That then snowballs into a camping trip where you only eat what you catch on the trip. Any survival change would have to be adjust. Let's just say much like t…

Season 6 EP 19: Testing baby food and putting on a brave face
This week's episode kicks off with an update from Tamara on cat sitting and how the hot temperatures is impacting everyone. Rheannon managed to watch a movie and stayed awake, but her only feedback is that the kid's movie had a few to many chase scenes. Tamara is adjusting to moving, but mostly is enjoying different restaurants and stores being close. Rheannon is disappointed in Tamara for being slow to take up her restaurant recommendations. Tamara's family is going to have to settle on a restaurant for a birthday dinner. Could be really good or really bad, but it is rarely in the middle. As an aunt Tamara will taste test baby food before she feeds it to her niece. Let's just say it was not good, and Tamara has some strong opinions about it. The debate of how to say Costco rages on, and now there is a clear outline as to who is one which side of the argument. Let's just say the odds are high that no one is right and it will go downhill fast.

Season 6 Ep 18: When lady bugs attack and summer fishing
This week's episode kicks off with checking in on Rheannon's most recent summer fishing trip and Tamara is very skeptical of Rheannon being attacked by a lady bug. Turns out Rheannon did have a reaction to a ladybug "bite" or "pinch". Whichever it was Tamara could have been more supportive. Tamara is still getting used to living in a city. Although, the new city might have an option to try new things like Frisbee Golf. Rheannon had a lesson in patience while trying to cook brownies. Let's just say it took way longer than the box said it would. Rheannon watched one of her favorite movies of the year. Tamara let's just say was along for the ride and it went downhill fast.

To kick off the episode Tamara and Rheannon start with a history refresher of a phone land line being connected to the internet. Tamara might have cut some wires while under the house. She was not harmed in her adventures under the house, but the internet was not so lucky. The saga with Diego trying to bring stuff in the house continues. Rheannon does not love the new night time routine. While recording the episode both cats are up on the roof trying to hunt a crow.

Only to learn that John can jump it real easy and the mischief continues. Not to be outdone the cats have also been causing problems. Rheannon woke up to noises in the night. An unknown animal might have been in the house, but it is unsure. Tamara has been staying busy hanging with the family, and decided to lend a hand and mow the lawn.

Rheannon is very upset with her dog. John has decided that when there is thunder the only person that he wants to be around is Theresa. Even if she is making fun of him, John still only wants to be around her. It was an eventful weekend when one of the toilets stopped working. After a lot of googling, renting equipment, and trying everything it took a plumber to fix. Tamara perhaps has been watching a little too much criminal minds, and was very startled when a closed door opened on its own. Turns out one of the dogs learned to open doors by jumping and pulling on the lever. Rheannon shares that the cats are asking for food a lot more often when Tamara isn't in town. Turns out Tamara spoils the cats with a little extra food. Tamara wants more chickens, so she can name one. Turns out googling with Alexa is more difficult than it sounds.

This week's episode kicks off with a surprise taste test. Rheannon is not a big fan of soda, so we are off to a rough start there. There were points for bubbles and the fun color of the soda, but overall the after taste is what soured the overall experience.

This week's episode kicks off with a recap of the adult easter egg hunt, which included hunting for airplane shots hidden around the yard. Tamara maybe pushed the rules of it not being full contact by literally pushing Rheannon. It was fun once "all" the bottles were found and it was time to negotiate and trade for peoples favorites. Jury is still out if all the bottles have been found. There was enough food for 19 people. Rheannon and Tamara had a hard time remember just how much food there was. Tamara lost in the game of cards against humanity. Her strategy of just picking the card she thought were funny didn't really work out for her as a winning strategy. The bathroom remodel continues with one of the final hurdles being the toilet installed. There were highs and lows, and Tamara was in the trenches. It involved a few broken pieces and a part that was thought to be lost in the garbage. Turns out it wasn't. Additionally, it turns out trying to pick a show to watch was just as diffic…

While visiting home Tamara is not afraid to capitalize on how cute her nephew is, and is not afraid to talk to Grandma about cookies around the toddler since he is harder to say no to.

Fishing adventures happened. Tamara was cold all day. She was promised gloves and that didn't happen. It wouldn't have solved everything, but it would have helped. Rheannon was the only person who successfully caught a fish. Everyone had fun fishing, and lots of people almost caught a fish. Tamara was not one of those people. The things people said fishing had Tamara giggling all day. Tamara is really upset that Diego is sleeping on top of the stove. She is not convinced that he won't hurt himself. There is an upcoming adventure that Tamara is really excited about. It is a group activity and Tamara and Rheannon are still trying to con a buddy into going with them. It is a sound therapy. Rheannon thinks she will enjoy it, and Tamara thinks she will get bored. Rheannon is making the slow realization that maybe her favorite genre of movie is a romantic comedy.

Rheannon went for a family ski weekend. Rheannon did not have a very restful weekend. The last ski weekend of the season also brought some crazy wind. Everyone tried to make the most of the bad weather and Rheannon wanted to reward her nieces and nephew their hard work with some froyo. Her mistake though was trying to take four kids to pick out their own ice cream with only two adults supervising. It was a zone defense that never had a chance at working. Tamara dropped the ball shopping, but she still doesn't feel like it is all her fault. Things were accidentally left off the list and Rheannon was really sad that her raisins didn't make it home.

This week's episode kicks off learning about how the baking challenge went. The obstacles mounted after a few failed trips to the store. Starting the cake bake with gluten free pancake mix wasn't ideal, but no one was willing to go back to the store. Emotions were high for the bake and Tamara did not thrive in that team building exercise. Weirdly it was easier to team build with the children and work together to frost a cake. Lots of pool and foosball played, and the winner of the foosball was the five year old niece. Rheannon's birthday also included some mudding and drywall work. Tamara learned a lot about mixing the perfect mud. Tamara has been struggling getting her workouts in. After getting four walks in none of the workouts met the heart rate requirement.

No one should be surprised that Tamara liked it more than Rheannon. Things got interesting this week with a trip to the movie theater to see Scream 5. An empty movie theater with reclining seats was a good time. Rheannon was happy to see the fifth movie in a series having seen none of the other movies. There of course is a bit of a disagreement about the rating scale about the movies, but mostly Tamara and Rheannon just like different things in a movie. Successful grocery store trip. Tamara had to juggle things carrying in the last load, but in the end no soda was dropped in the endeavor.

This episode kicks off with the question of if we were recording. New recording gear means a need for tech support.

Turns out Tamara really only likes to go to the store when it is her idea. Thankful for the TV recommendations from folks, and there are a couple of good options. Rheannon had a horrible migraine and to make it worse she found herself at an indoor water park with a migraine. Tamara had a great visit home. Great visit with family and friends. She did get to go on a adventure with one of her roomies. Took a pup to get a bath, and since he was such a good boy he got to pick out his own toy.

The dry wall lift worked and managed to not crush anyone. Tamara wants to try cross country skiing, and even though Rheannon thinks she will hate it she is still willing to go along. There has been some feedback on our numbering system, but Rheannon is unapologetic in there only being 32 episodes in a season. There is a question on what tv shows or movies all the roommates can agree on watching. Rheannon has her shows that she likes, which tends to be a documentaries.
