What does the IRS, a traveling petting zoo and an old-fashioned popcorn machine have in common?
Really, not a helluva lot… unless you’re Kari in the spring of 1990. In her first story, she’s in what she thinks is BIG TROUBLE with the IRS and she’s trying to figure that all out when she has a dream… a literal dream and a strange dream about finding desks in the woods and a strange set of numbers… it’s kooky enough that she remembers it when she wakes up and takes some action. In our second story, Kari has another dream, just one night after the first dream. This dream just seems like one of those entertaining, but normal, night-time dreams with some fun plot twists and a crazy cast of characters… and she doesn’t really give it much thought until what happens later that same day. There's really no explanation for what happens to Kari in our third story...not much time has passed since the entertaining dream and now Kari has a premonition while cleaning the popcorn machine at the bar she works at..why? We don’t know.. but it was accurate and significant - especially for fans of the 70s’ and 80’s TV show, Alice. I do want to mention that if you haven’t listened yet to Episode 2, you might want to do that so you can meet the sisters… this stuff comes naturally to well, pretty much all of us! Stay tuned after Kari’s stories for a quick and funny story from our very first call-in listener j- Tammy - who has their very own How in the Hell did I get here? story to share.

NOTE: Today's Episode is in honor of this badass, sassy, take no prisoners, party until she’s says stop, tough as nails and fun as hell grandma, who I’m sure is having a cold one, raising hell, and telling all her best dirty jokes right now.
RIP Grandma Pat: 1926-2019 Life truly is an an adventure and it’s probably no surprise that myself and my four sisters seem to have more adventures than normal! After all, the show’s not called How in the Hell did I get here for nothing! Today’s episode is in honor of our maternal grandmother, Grandma Pat, who is featured in our first story. She was truly remarkable… a mother of 8, a grandmother of many including three great, great, great grandchildren. Sadly we lost her in early February of 2019, less than 48 hours after this podcast went live and I like to think she hung around to see it happen. They broke the mold after Grandma was born, you’ll understand what I mean when you hear our first story which happened at a family party a long time ago. In our second story, I find myself divorced and ready to go on a vacation! So, I do the logical thing… find a women’s travel adventure company and book myself on an adventure to Cozumel (side note, have you noticed when I go to Mexico crazy things happen to me? Um yeah!) It turns out to be a great trip, but little did I know the adventure would start before I even got on the plane! Everyone loves a good garage sale, right? In our third story today, Erin decides to throw the Mother of all garage sales and the prep takes weeks! I’m there to help out and it’s going great... until the day she tells me that we have to set up seven teepees…. Let me repeat that: seven teepees…. On the lawn…. In 98 degree heat….

Travel can be a lot of things and of course, when one of us taking a trip... things can get to How in the Hell did I get here? pretty quick!
In today's Episode, Erin learns the importance of thoroughly reading the directions during a this 12-hour endurance test. Next, Kari just wants to get home to join in the graduation celebrations of a niece and nephew... the question is will she even get on the plane after an alarming encounter with the TSA? Lastly, Kim is on her first trip out of the country (yes, the same trip where she was also held hostage by a monkey in Episode 3!) where she tries parasailing. They say what goes up, comes back down... well, eventually yes, but not without a lot of excitement for her in the air! Produced by Kim A. Flodin and featuring Erin Beach, Kari Flodin and Kim Flodin.

We've all had strange encounters with animals... maybe a bat swoops through your living room, a deer jumps in front of your car, or a mouse runs up to you in the kitchen, and in true How in the Hell did I get here fashion, sisters Jenny Gardner, Kim A. Flodin, and Erin Beach take it up a notch in this episode featuring three stories of strange encounters with animals.
In the first story, Jenny shares the time she had a real-life sighting of Monkey Dog! What's a monkey dog you ask? Listen in to find out! In the next story, Kim, Jenny and Erin share a harrowing tale of a dark and misty night at Jenny and family's hobby farm. What was that thing shuffling and snorting in the shadows? Is it dangerous? Will it eat the dog? Will anyone ever respond to Erin's screams of terror? In our final story, Kim ventures out of the country for the very first time and finds herself in a hostage situation... with a monkey! Note: You can see the dog with the human face in our Facebook group!
